Courageously devours
Large quantities of

The annual migration to the beach
The manatees are basking in the sun
Be sure to pack large quantities of bleach
The eyes will need a rinse before you’re done...

zillions-
amounts beyond
our imagination
like the depth of infinity-
worthless

zillions-
open-ended
eluding summation
endless quantities revealing
nothing

A big concern during excavations
from granite hillsides is just
keeping limited mishaps near
observed palladium quantities,
reacting swiftly to utility vehicles
wanting X-rays yields zeroed....

The  envious peach tree watched the nut
produce great quantities
so she resolved to do the same
“no one out does me.”
When the harvest came
her children did abound
which caused her roots to snap
and broke her to the ground....

Let's bow our heads and pray
Today's Thanksgiving day.

Poor old turkey got the axe
Bet he wished he'd never been hatched.

Turkey, mashed potatoes, yams
Consume mass quantities but never ham.

Eat too much and pop your zipper
"Hey Honey, where's the Alka Seltzer"?




Josette Davis Key   2013...

Whoever sings the song,
the singer can never be wrong.
He is describing your qualities.
Those that are in great quantities.
Just select the voice.
Any of them are a good choice.
In three minutes or less,
each one describes your loveliness.
The entertainer is a star 
when he sings “All The Things You Are”.

Bow your head and pray
Today's Thanksgiving day.

Poor turkey felt the axe
Bet he's sorry he ever hatched.

Mashed potatoes, gravy, yams
Consume mass quantities (But never ham)

Eat real fast and clean your plate
Soon you'll have a tummy ache.

Belch and moan and pop your zipper
'Hey hon, where's the Alka Seltzer?'...

When you witness that
Humans have turned against each other
Rebel against one's own self
Antagonistic to all living things.

Large quantities of firearms and ammunition on hand
Missiles of the highest caliber
That's enough to wipe out Earth several times over

Forget about global peace any time soon....

Many times you'll find me here
drinking mass quantities of beer
and then for a few dazed moments, my troubles disappear,
but for the days that follow after I suffer most severe
with massive headaches and the inability to think very clear,
so I then repeat the process and consume more beer.
This cycle has been going on year after year....

Combine chicken and yogurt; garlic, 
ginger, turmeric, cayenne. Saute mint 
and mustard-seed till aromatic and seeds 
begin to pop. This from memory, 
the cookbook’s lost. You have to intuit 
quantities, and what to slice, mince, 
chop, or dice. Serve on basmati rice 
with cilantro and condiments of choice. 
Inhale, close your eyes, taste India....

A vast ocean
our churning seas
sit within Earth's bowl
containing historical treasures
within murky depths
Secrets settled
still to be unveiled
Precious cargo's price untold
not known if would offset
the cost of any rescue or revelation
Untold scenes priceless
hold enormous quantities of life
scarred by the touch 
and interference of our modern world...

There is fear
when the loss 
perceived 
greater…
my example
the ego
of youth;

not to be 
measured
in quantities
but by frailties--
a small hole
can sink
a ship;

so early-on
we learn
and don armor,
make distances…
strength often
a tactic of the
weak;

God made us
of spirit
perfect and immortal…
yet, Trick-or-treat
we persist
in wearing
our dead....

Dug and Blake wanted to bake
For a party at the lake
They decided to make-
Cheesecake and cupcakes
A large order to fill with-
no mistakes
It was a big order to undertake

Blake made large quantities 
of fishcakes
All coated with eggs and cornflakes
Dug also decided to take some steaks
Two choices for the meals for the lake
Then later dessert cupcakes and cheesecakes...

At pasture's edge
the last Tansy*
sheds it's blossoms

Common tansy is also known as golden buttons and garden tansy. Common tansy was introduced from Europe into colonial North America in the 1600s as an ornamental plant and for medicinal uses. Ironically, common tansy contains alkaloids that are toxic to humans and livestock if consumed in large quantities. ~ravallirepublic.com...

They abound in large quantities,
A plethora of them abound,
Different writers,
A hierarchy of them,
Different genres,
A variety of spices,
Different strokes for different folks,
They’re like stars adorning the night sky,
The books I have not read,
A vast of them exists,
The many worlds inside them,
 Waiting to be explored,
Waiting to be visited,
The trees that bore them died a good death....

I stood by the grave as a gentle, summer rain began to fall...
I stood there; lost in my thoughts...Remembering... Reminiscing...
The increasing rain washed me from my trance, reminding me I was alive...
Death seems so easy and lazy as the living are forced to breathe in large quantities of reality... 
I suppose being above ground has its advantages, but on occasion, I envy those that lie beneath us......

Why do you listen to echoes of shells strewn above your ears?

Those voices, once soft and loving, now bark churlish commands from ai drones, whirring subconscious tropes, retrievable by unseen

Puppet Masters; confident their mass of
Luminoids will sway like clouds of wind

Swept insects, inhaling vast quantities of
Ideas and movements of humans

             who

                      remember...

Surreal hallucinations wafted dense,
metaphysical quantities swirled fast,
normal vision opaqued beyond farthing,
neurons rallied electrically in maze,
storey up the ground was holy,
brain had distanced from the body,
dismembered body parts were as yet members,
to keep me whole,
brain still had the control,
mental activity sometimes catpulted in hyper,
body felt left behind,
but the whole felt super....

All one needs is the virtues pretty
They are just seven in my kitty

Optimism and zest being a beauty

One gets all glory in ton

Therefore, I say to have these qualities
So as to gain success in quantities..!!...

How straight the path I could enforce,
and straight the thought I might have course,
or straight quantities faked remorse,
then straight the entrance without force!

Yet straight the buckling of divorce,
still straight the line between two ports,
or straight the railing on the porch
but straight the shot ~ I can't endorse!

The curve ~ contingencies exhort,
is semi laden with export,
go one, with nature's true report,
as life unerring stays the source!...
