  Unfolding to the Sun;

After sipping liquor sixty proof

Poof
An apparition 
A flicker of light 
A storm on the high seas 
A weeping willow tree

We hear her mutter,
To cover the "flutter".
What a spoof,
We heard the "poof".
Such a hoot,
When she "toots".
And it never ever stinks!
We know it, "wink, wink, wink."...

Pigtails non-withstanding
She was an odd little poof....

A duck named Donald, quite irate,
Tried baking a birthday cake late.

He acted when his chances were slim.
Thus in an infernal VanHoof went poof....

Leonardo, with sketches so grand,
Tried to teach his cat how to land.
It soared from the roof,
With a "Meow!" and a poof,
"That's not flight," he said, "misunderstand?"

Fool Proof!

You have no proof 
that I shot your foot,
only that I laughed
when the gun went poof!

Get off of my roof,
or I'll kick you off with my
leather boot.

You have no proof!...

Torrential in volume, haven't seen since my youth
The power of nature
And even greater
Nasty nuclear fusion and the world goes poof!...

  anyone can grow up to be President
Then you chuckle and offer

Ink will dry into gun powder.
One last spark fueled by mental friction.
Poof.
Whoosh.
Up goes inspiration in conflagration.
Just ashes remain, unfit to even nourish Sari....
