Tweedledee and Tweedledum
In Alice, this guy Tweedledum
By anyone’s rule of thumb
His twin, Tweedledee
Just had to be
A little bit dumber than dumb...

A Rule of Thumb
A rule of thumb
which pertains to everyone
who may happen to mingle among us.
Show me an individual
who loves animals
and I'll show you someone that you can trust....

Afghanistan ~ "dumb Support"?
Maimed support undone,
the battle won ~
is still that tyranny's succumb
mates jeopardy with truth, upon the run!
Prowess protects more than
the "rule of thumb"!
Support not my position's drum,
If I am able . . . and yet still dumb!...

The Balance Cheat
The problem with Weights and Measures
Is akin to wealth and pleasures
The Rule of Thumb
Is really dumb
Yet quickly produces treasures*
*American canned products may contain
30% - or more - unregulated water priced at
the same rate as the product, making it the
most expensive water on earth!...

Number One: Indian Summer
Tis truly an Indian summer here,
It is because we live in India,
Like in America, tis different there,
Their late September, it is trivia,
Tis September everywhere, not just them,
Be the same, October heat, rule of thumb.

William Claude Dukenfield
'Tis said that William Claude Dukenfield was fond of his rum.
A healthy nip morning, noon and night was his rule of thumb!
He was better known as W. C. Fields who was always on the skids,
And despised nearly everything and everyone including innocent kids!

Making a Choice
When options are presented
And I have to make a choice,
The more I see, the less that my
Opinion I can voice.
For choosing A or B or C
Sets limits I’ll accept.
When there are more alternatives,
My certainty gets swept.
The smaller the selection,
That much quicker I’ll decide,
A rule of thumb that in all walks
Of life can be applied....

Lady of Darkness
Lady of Darkness
She sat in the dark in an overstuffed chair
Though the stuff in the seat was no longer there
A bottle of vodka and a bottle of rum
A chair in the darkness was her rule of thumb
As the shadows grew darker, the bottles grew lighter
As she tried to lighten the darkness inside her
Till only the chair and the bottles remain
With the lady of darkness no longer in pain...

Visiting the Badger Hole
Oh, the leaves are liquid yellow
As we ride on through Custer Park,
In search of that old Badger Hole:
Home of the poet Badger Clark.
Yes, we come to step back in time—
It’s a historic rule of thumb—
Where the city does not crowd you,
And man can be scattered some.
The old cabin now sits empty—
A last poetic monument—
Proving that words can still live on
Where men have lived and come and went....

Normally Rule of Thumb
Thinking can overtax the active mind
Thoughts flood the strata of the cerebrum,
Where’s vital information one should find
Cannot locate a fact, one feels so dumb,
Something that is normally rule of thumb.
Moments before on the tip of the tongue,
Much we have forgotten, since we were young
To be forgetful is so frustrating,
Suggesting needed synapses are sprung
Age can be so darn debilitating.

Living In Denial
There's no denying
We hear too much lying
In the World today
Too much cheating
And repeating
Everything we say
Too much backchat
And idle chit chat
Going all around.
Too much talk
And not much action
Abounds
Too much taking.
Too little giving
It seems a rule of thumb.
Too much heartache
And Destruction
Making all feel numb
Too much trouble
Cauldrons bubble
Making another spell
Trouble brewing
While we are spewing
Do we now live in HELL?...

The Dollhouse
Our grandkids have a dollhouse,
A gift we did provide,
With furniture and little folk
To fill the rooms inside.
It's used a lot, quite lovingly,
Yet every time we come,
It all looks topsy-turvy,
Which defies my rule of thumb.
I take five minutes worth of time
To neaten up the place,
A task the long-lost child in me
Does readily embrace.
And once I'm done, I let it go;
My set-ups they may spurn,
But even if they mess them up,
At least I've had my turn!...
