    changes occur magically
   lives appear in time, divinely...

His tendency to overregulate 
New York sites, they rehabilitate,
Comes down from the mayor
A quick money player
Makes some of us want to regurgitate...

EU is a massive spider
Kills initiatives
A headless bureaucracy  
Casts a web 
Of rules and regulation 
Sniffling
Freedom of expression 
Killing Europe 
By strangulation

A deal, a transaction
  a trade, an exchange
Whatever you call it
  it's business arranged

Let it forever be free
  unsullied by regulation
So you and I can flourish
  without undue strangulation...

routine behavior by
rules and strict policies
regulation of moves
right uniformity
regality in style
repetitive movement
rigidity commands

Knockout stage 
Women’s World Cup 
Sweden 
versus U. S. 
In regulation 
nil-nil score,
ditto
extra time—
P Ks 
To decide—
U. S. A.
three missed kicks seal fate 
Kudos to Musovic

The Blue and Yellow!...

Is there anytime to live without expectation?
Is there any place to live without regulation?
to be one self with out loss of self,
may not appear in a world to disappear,
hell shall hold a special place for me,
cause even the blind can stop to see,
I'm just as bad as anyone can be....

Spiritual minds
invite healthy natural bodies
to curiously enjoy safe and significant,
secular and sacred, rhythms
of bicameral co-regulation,
trilateral ego/eco/theo-communication

Further embracing polyphonic
rightbrain resonance
exploring leftbrain polypathic resilience

Of spiritual minds
inviting healthy natural bodies
to curiously enjoy......

With software the devil possessed
They've outsmarted EPA's test
So avoid the behind
Don't inhale near the hind
Of Volkswagen's diesel “skunk” pest


Author's note:  A case for more, not less, federal regulation.  This is an example of what is wrong with underfunded federal agencies and our reliance on self-certification.  Meanwhile, what happened to all that carcinogenic air?...

The dangers of health and safety 
Cannot possibly be overstated
Because yesterday I tripped over 
A pile of paper H&S related 

It's a minefield of regulation
I've bought a tsunami plan 
And six fire extinguishers 
For a one-man-business band 

The ludicrous requirements 
Are completely over the top... 
Soon I'll have to wear safety goggles 
When I vac the floor and mop...

    A long time ago, grandpa told me
       amateur athletes crossed oceans and paid the fees 

    Every four years a noble spirit arose
       emblazoned on a torch, fiery and free 

    A spirit clear, shining bright and true
       the Olympic spirit, one that cut through

    The claptrap of power, regulation and rules
       crossing the finish line in brotherhood

for Jake

He is a sun-bronzed god
reigning in my heart,
with his regulation
golf course hair
and sturdy legs;
winning smile, and
eyes that reflect mine
except that his twinkle.

He stands, indignant and proud,
with all the power his
5 1/2 year old ego can muster.
He is sweet with the affection 
only an innocent heart can bestow.
He is my best work.

My only son....

Tears are dropping as I cry,
As I see red stars in the sky.
My cheeks become a bit dry.

Both my eyes frowned,
Just because I got stunned.
Inside me, pain pinned.  

Proud off, I lost my pride.
My tap has been spoiled inside;
Water is flushing loosely outside.

Regulation has gone grudgingly,
As my water is watering waste plants,
Causing more tears on my cheeks.

The vestige of a shivering heart 
a tremor through your whole body; 
It’s difficult to hold your balance 
regulation starts to plummet;

A tremor through your whole body 
igniting violent cold creeps; 
Nothing able to make them stop;

It’s difficult to hold your balance 
when your guts are a frozen flutter; 
Regurgitating all your remains; 

Regulation starts to plummet
until your hands settle on your chest,
calming the ripples on your skin....

When with the bayou they're messing
BP says, "Oh what a blessing,
The mix will be fine
Add vinegar from wine
To make a fine salad dressing!"

Author's note: In the end; BP will pay close to nothing, and the rest of us will be stuck with 
the cost of the environmental damage.  To the anti-government regulation libertarians: this 
lack of reason in law enables rich and powerful companies to get away with theft beyond 
imagination.  Death to the Tea Party!...

The Mayo Clinic has a rule
For visitors which states
That everyone must wear a mask – 
Not open to debates.

Yet our V.P., when stopping by,
Felt he should be exempt.
For policies outside his realm,
He seems to have contempt.

Informed before his visit
Of the masking regulation
He defended his position
With a bogus explanation.

The White House sets the standards
Which serve only to incense
So we shouldn’t be surprised to see
Such disregard by Pence....

IMERGING FROM SELF-ISOLATION
BENDING, STRETCHING, FOR STIMULATION
NO REASON FOR SELF-REGULATION
HE TWIRLS, LEAPS IN EXAGGERATION
DANCE CHILD, DANCE

MUSCULAR ARMS RELEASE AGITATION
FRIENDS THINK BALLET LAME RELAXATION
TWELVE-YEAR-OLD BOYS’ DISCRIMINATION
ON STAGE HIS INTERNAL EMANCIPATION
DANCE BOY, DANCE

LEAPING WITH FREEDOM HIS LIBERATION
HEART BEATS IN RHYTHM SYNCOPATION
PIROTING WITH UNIQUE VARIATION
APPLAUSE FROM THE CROWD, HIS VALIDATION
DANCE MAN, DANCE...
