And I had all its passions queried
Upon the sound of the Reeper's cry

Whose dog is it? Someone queried.
The rest of the neighbors laughed.
Look at his colorful tam
Look at his dreads
It is Marley’s dog
Or an impersonator, someone suggested...

The best answer of all in case your friends ask you....

"separate bedrooms, restrooms,
office and work-out space?"

Man-cave: "Naturally."...

I queried my wife;
How great would be life?
If with me,
you would simply agree.

Looking me straight in the eye;
She made this cryptic reply.
That's no way to get along,
For if I did that, we'd both be wrong....

I boasted to Ernestine the other day
That my having total recall was a snap;
But when queried about last weeks sermon
My memory was shorter than a mid day nap.

queried a flower ,
wilting in autumn shower,
“What purpose was life?”
Said God through wind whispering, 
 “Each a breath of my being!”

What do you want on your pizza?
   the young voice queried.
Please,
   A crust not too crispy    so for a mellowed life,
   Extra cheese oozing love,
   Generous with the pepperoni    of fidelity,
And light on the sauce of regrets....

Miracle Man
5/26/2023

I come from a small town named Shuster,
my father was the property tax adjuster.
He was always working late,
Toward him was much hate.
so when queried on taxes he’d filibuster.

Simply Snowman had a following, and he had no idea why.
The animals were all his friends, his heart wanted to truly cry. 
We love you! Some of them said. It made his snow heart sigh.
But what have I done? He queried, not realizing he was goodness by and by....

Being gay must be from God
my mother said
She is the CEO of her church

And opinionated
She has come a long way in eighty-three years
And who says God is a man? She asked. God may be a woman.

Why do you say that about being gay? I queried.
Because no one would CHOOSE that life style, she replied.
It is way too HARD....

I have a date;
with Destiny..
Feathered by fate;
and hipocracy...

Treading my fears...
Distancing my heart..
Screaming your name;
silenced from start...

Lost in the game...
Dead in my tracks..
Queried by love...
Stabbed in the back...

Taste of regret....
Following your lead...
Never to return...
Mentally freed.......

For to Zoom ~ or not to Zoom
Well that’s indeed the quandary
And that my friend the question
Now what I ask would Shakespeare say
As he queried the value of life
whilst quoting Hamlet’s Soliloquy

What kind of faerie is she?
A he faerie I think, with a long neck.

How would I know? I am not allowed to talk to faeries!
You are talking to one now, she said. I am a faerie.
He screamed and ran off....

Who do you think you are?
Seems the question bandied about most today,
Who was your Grand-Mama
 Or even Great ,Great Grand-Pa?
Matter's to some so much, to trace their D.N.A
But if they bothered and to me
the queried  question posed
and want to know my family tree,
So what would you really suppose
my answer to them would be?
Well quite simply, Sir
I am Me....

Time vanishes grandma said
Where does it go? Queried her grandson
Totally unsure, but it is gone quickly
Ticking away, tick, tick, tick
I tried to hold on to a minute once
But it could not be done.
So I thought I would start out smaller.
Holding on to a second.
That did not work either.
Do what you want today.
Today is all you have
Right now
This
Second...

To some extent
My existence is being questioned
For the choices I've made

My dreams are being queried
For watching me sleep and still dream

My conscience is being crucified
For the horrible horrors I've accepted in life

My heart is being broken
For the unhealthy living and uncertainties

My soul seeks refuge
For all it witnessed and fear may consume me...
