Poetry's pedigree's
           Prose hasn't got

was his degree
Rhodes scholar selection

Yet once in the fray
he was easy prey ~
Mettle, reality assayed...

"You do these things to shock me"
One of many absurdities
That mouth has hurled at me
While mine its lip is bit
Bred to holdfast like a pitbull....

Well hell
   Save a seat for me
   Since I don't believe in God
   I am doomed for eternity

   No amount of good deeds
   Will excuse this pedigree

They say that reasonable people will disagree
  Though, lately, reason's lost its pedigree
I say it matters not, agree or disagree
  As long as good folks do so agreeably...

There once was a dame of no pedigree
Who just ached to be a celebrity
   She made it her goal
   To get rid of her soul
And did so, poor thing, unrepentantly

There’s a young lady in Ames we are told
who claims a pedigree royal and old
It’s Dairy Queen for brunch
and Burger King for lunch
Then dinner where the arches are gold

I once met a gal from Miscogee
A woman of rarest pedigree
She offered her hand,
For my wedding band
So now I am no longer Scot free.

In the annals of Rock History
  The Beatles' pedigree --
    Their decree
       Let it Be

While the Stones
   Are Rolling
   Right off the track
   They made the choice
     To paint it black...

Master's degree
Opens doors when bachelors forget
Master's degree
Studying long for pedigree,
preparing theses, both cause sweat.
Don't give up. You go girl and get
Master's degree

Oct twenty-nine is National Cat Day

   To honor pedigree and roaming stray

      Take a cat to lunch

         Or perhaps to brunch

            Or better yet to a seafood buffet

blood 

                    red, true

 flowing, agglutinating, testing 

lineage, pedigree, aquatic, rain 

   drizzling, diluting, irrigating, 

             cold, navigable,

                      water

what do we owe
to this great Caesar
life liberty limb
who face lives on this coin
yes i am a citizen of Rome
no more or less and
without a pedigree
i shall not bow down
to this military state
then we must
return to Caesar
what is owed...

Family - written 9 years ago 
Hobby is Genealogy


Root and branch,
family tree,
who I am,
my pedigree.

Joy profound,
eternal quest,
through family
we are blessed!

Whether present
or absent,
jubilant noise
or silent muse,
family joy
is good news....

Like deer they run, so gracefully
With winged feet, youth's pedigree
They flow along, near-effortless
Like deer they run, so gracefully
On straightaways, they're swifter yet
Lithe frames incline, take off like jets
Like deer they run, so gracefully
Winged feet, youth's pedigree...

obviously 
cosmopolitan,
our new neighbors

sparkle 
in their fashion,
frills, tones and bones,

and their 
shampooed dogs,
vain about their pedigree,

deface our
freshly-painted walls,
foul our fragrant  walkways,

loiter 
around , litter our alleys, 
with cosmopolite impunity....

Trump Will and Pedigree

Trump wanted to provide will with pedigree
And he did not find it in all debris
Along with his family genealogy
Showing they all had abnormal psychology
A bunch of bull we were starting to see.

 Missing life procedure
German Shepherd bleeding
Reminds me of humanity injured hurt
Puppies dog spring forth healings
Huskies and St Bernard's
Stop drinking bourbon smoking cigars
Rescue dogs living large 
Humane pedigree saving Humanity

Touch my flowing spirit, if you can.
It dances on highest treetops, 
So that very few ever can.
It sits laughing atop the lotus tree!
Waiting for you to go close your book.
Life does not live there, don't
you see?
It's in my elusive laughter.
And my own poetic pedigree!

I’ve got this dog – a mix for sure
Its pedigree is far from pure
Its mother was a mix herself
A  Shihtzu - Bichon little elf
Its father was a tramp – a bum
A mix of everything to come
That leaves my dog a unique breed
The kind of dog that no man needs
Because its mother had this fling
My dog’s a Shihtz-On Everything

Long have I thought
"Where am I really from?"
And long was I taught
That I was just one of some
My genes make me a mutt
but my source gives me pedigree
The cloth from which I'm cut
Was sewn amidst the heavenly
Irish, Spanish, and Welsh
Are just descriptions
Of this rented thing I call my "self"
At times, they're even encryptions

Metaphorically

I`m a working pony
ploughing the oft
turned over the soil of poetry.
On the race track
of pedigree mounts 
                      chasing medals and
                      honours, the  pony looks
                      bewildered 
                      but in the end 
                      we are Equus Ferus
and domesticated....
