pip-squeak in the air
   rams a fleeing big black crow
         — torpedoed and stunned

bedtime and the dogs
all cuddled in

THE SHIP

I was stood on the deck of a ship
When I swallowed a big orange pip
My beating heart sank
And my poor stomach shrank
So I just let a massive one rip...

Received a major degree in silliosity last week
Well deserved, reside in fantasyland just up the creek
Robin Poop, the main character
Turned out a disaster
Married a young maiden though his pip was a squeak...

Listen to poem:

A mere mortal
I am to AI.
A demi tasse slurp,
a tiny thought bubble,
blowing in the wind,
pieced to pop with puny plunk,
just a pip spat out.
My brain drained to a pitiful 
paltry piddle, into
the insatiable sea 
of AI's knowledge bank....

I'm gonna spank Frank and then I'll whip Pip
Before I slug Bug, I'm gonna slap Cap.
I wanna hit Kit; I wanna smack Mac
I'll never like Ike, and I'll destroy Roy.
So I could lick Mick before I kick Rick
Why don't you die Sly, and say goodbye Guy....

“I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be” ~ Pip in Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

I'm all in pieces, in sad disarray, 
holding your gift, insanity's bouquet....

Cerise took a bite of the cherry

ground her teeth on the pip

a kernel of truth searching salvation

conditioned to drivel and drool

Salvador handed her a spittoon

to release the rest of the lies

Dragging the tree home was Donny’s favorite part of the snowy trip.
It was cold and he was tired of being out there as was his puppy, Pip.
Do we have to do it next year? He asked Dad who was sore from this.
No, Daddy said. I think I have cut down my last tree, this Christmas....

When sunlight breaks 
Above my neighbour's roof 
And bare branches in a breeze 
Make light dance before my eyes.
And when I hear the blue tit's pip 
Below the slowly brightening skies, 
Then Spring has woken from her sleep, 
Cast off the last cold winter sheet 
And soon she will arise....

Mom spilled hot stew, wets a pal, lap short-shorts,
Dad yelled its hot, loop pool pop dive exhorts,
Mom says not that sort of hot,
Pip, spiced hot that's all it got?
Snot tons, "Jokes--Pip, we're exports, not Hogwarts?"

Piglets and pigs are the picks of my pens
Practically perfect in ink
Parsimonious pip-squeaking partners
In pulchritudinous pink
Presumptuous porkers on pineapple pizzas
As porcupine people must think.

I met this cool dude called Jaffa
At the beginning he was so sweet to me
Sadly after a while he gave me the pip
In the end he ran out of juice and I had to squash him
Then I pulverised his flesh to a pulp
Cheers!

I wandered like a lemon,
Over hill and dale,
My skin was looking yellow,
My complexion rather pale.

I rolled on down a ridge,
Just trying to get a grip,
Taking in what nature offered, 
Alas, it was giving me the pip.

I started feeling seedy,
I'd been exercising for an hour,
No matter what I seemed to do
My mood remained quite sour....

Peewee Orange upset the apple cart
                                For Mr. Adam who had a apple mart
                                     So they hacked each other
                                   And packed up Queen Mother
                             Who got the pip and ate the apple tart

Play pokes promptly
Craft claims clearly


See sensuous signs
Bid breathless bind


Smell soothing stench
Drape dazzling drench


Size succinct style
Ply profound pile


Moody mind moves
Glimpse gaudy grooves


Crude clumsy choice
Protest plots poise


Stretch salty sip
Promptly prize pip

sweet yet sour,
eaten by the hour,
with pips or pip-less,
none the less scrumptious!

We have green we have red,
and when left to dry,
we can bake raisin bread...

but even better,
we make wine,
that when drunk,
makes us feel fine -
It makes us smile,
just for a little while,
before we collapse on our bed,
and wake up to dread,
the effect on our head!...

pip pip                         	pip 
pipes the fledged    	  blue tit
after mummy           	  blue tit
for a new                       tit bit
as she flew              bit and bit
branch and branch   tip and tip
cannot sit                      sit  sit 
chased by blue             baby tit

The lady was quite civic minded,
as a nun she always presided
midnight to noon on the harp 
until her old dog did bark
Mum I fear your tune is one-sided!

The dog said must I refer you to this,
the deed you long ago signed with a kiss
and a pip on the head,
a tenet until dead,
my howls deified along with your riffs.

MEDITATION HOUR


Love notes written on vellum
Music scores with smiles between lines
Written in symbols, circles or waves
When lids closed for an hour 


I’m inside a strand of hair
A protein or atomic space
Neutrality speaks like 
A pink lotus
teaches as my Muse
Its a cardamom pip


I disappear into its blackness
then the car door 
Banged !!

At the hour
