No Go
For all his meals Ralph Redd ate soup
to keep him from between-meals droop.

but then there came a day
when Ralph was unable to poop....

Giddyup
There was an ardent cowboy named Redd
Who wed a city girl beyond his spread.
They were a good match ’twas believed
Except she was acutely aggrieved
To discover that Redd wore spurs to bed....

Redd Foxx
The late Redd Foxx was great with stand-up comedy.
However, his acts were just full of profanity.
On television, he played the character of Fred G. Sanford.
In all those years, he never said a dirty word.

Redd
for each day you live I am thankful
for that wagging tail and bountiful kisses I am thankful
as you wind amoung the family and then bounce your
dog brothers out of the way
I am thankful for your play
that you engage us all and take us away from
sorrow
you, most beautiful boy
love of my life
I am thankful...

Can You Hear Me?
i wanna vent like Bukowski
but the censors won't let me
be heard
won't let me cock my hat
and unload my gun
won't let me
be heard
i wanna howl like Ginsberg
but the censors don't like
my words
my swagger Redd Foxx like
when allowed to write
my words
i bet i could keep you up at night
if you allowed me to
be heard...

Almost Gone
my heart is longing
for a trip to the beach
a long afternoon in my chair
hot sun
waves drowning voices
running with Redd in the waves
jealousy chokes me hot
and hard under my heart
people going for the weekend
I can never get away
its work, or its work, or maybe
work
opportunities of youth are long gone
swallowed up in responsibility
and now summer
is almost
gone...

Puttering
I'm roasting some dinner
putting things away
potatoes in the oven
meats on the way
peaches in a big dish
cinnamon and sugar
mail on the table
towels to be folded
I'm wiping the counters
putting away the dishes
thinkng about ice tea
and maybe watermelon
I'm counting how many
will sit around the table
how many will be late from work
and miss the conversation
I'm sitting on the steps outside
throwing the ball to Redd
and on the air I smell the dinner
I wish I was eating instead....
