Star Lights

Fireplaces are fresh,
Cups hold hot coffee
Flannel shirts,
Denim jeans.
Stars are night lights
Untouched snow found.


My Son, the College Professor Comes Home For a Visit

My son, the college professor
comes home for a visit.
He leaves with all his shirts
ironed, my heart on
every sleeve.

Global warming caused my cancer;
    Here I thought my lack of shirts.
Carbon footprint’s karmic answer:
    Carcinoma, just desserts.

whining accordions

old women wearing fluffy petticoats
old men in plaid shirts and cowboy hats

March prances along wearing green
Shamrock shirts and denim jeans
So cold one day and hot the other 
I dare say like a bipolar spring lover

Sunset Tales

1.

Sundust in the air
Endorphins ooze in wet shirts
Birds gossip on lines

2.

As crepuscule creeps 
Tale tellers gather 'round fires
A story is born

My Valentine Gift

A singing lobster,*
‘Commando’ graphic novels,
Skelton T-shirts:
All presents she has asked for;
Wonder what she wants this year…

Cleaning
Under the greasy stove
Behind the washer and dryer
Inside the smelly refrigerator
Under the bed where the best shirts hide
Such a mood lifter

A spendthrift lady in New Orleans
clothed her wolfhound beyond her means
But he despised his top hats
and old-fashioned spats
Now he sports tie-died T-shirts and jeans

Syrup

My belly's so jelly
I could cry;
can't go out
cause I'm way shy,
Big shirts I'll have to buy!

My Favorite Food For Thanksgiving

Fried Turkey

Inject with beer, Chow Chow and liquid Cajun seasoning two days before frying
Old shirts or bibs and a roll of paper towels per person are highly recommended...

Smile For the Camera

Tom went out one night looking for some fun
he brought with him a water-cannon gun,
wet T-shirts were all the rage
the ladies took center stage...
Tom's cellphone videos were a homerun!

Premium Member Only Six Ninety-Nine

We are selling shirts for six ninety-nine.
They have school colors – tangerine and lime.
They are scratchy and wrinkly most of the time.
Come closer, young pigeons, only six ninety-nine.

Premium Member A Blind Semi Truck Driver

Grandpa and grandma formed a senior gang.
They dressed to kill with matching shirts that hang.
Logo; Old As Hell Angels.
Three heavenly archangels,
Pit stop had to make, "A Semi," they sang.

The Loyalty of the Shirts

Touching the shirts loyalty
                  so united in the coat rack...
                  They  live to wear
                  to the one they love
                   with proud dedication...

suburban 

ghosts of factories 
shotguns checked shirts, red necks, 
rust the vultures waiting for

Premium Member Dirty Clothes

A washing machine is useful
My shirts need all the help they can get

I get them dirty easily
Machine must work overtime to clean

I hope to keep my shirts spotless
Likely I’ll need the washing machine
