A Pleasant Memory

I learnt to ride
many years ago,
upon a mare
who was rather slow!
Dear old Fruitgum
became a great chum,
each Saturday hack,
riding shotgun at the back!

Farmer Brown's Daughter

When Farmer Brown’s daughter grew busty,
The men pulling turnips grew lusty.
Brown then had to choose
Which shotgun to use
If one of those hands proved untrusty.

Amazing Birds Flight

It's amazing to sight the birds fly
from the sky to the trees,
From the trees to the sky...!
But it's sad to sight
  the fierce shots
of the shotgun that hunts them... !

Acceptance of Uncertainty

Whatever happens, happens
I leave it all up to God
I'm riding this life shotgun
Fate is at the wheel

A Shot

A Shot

A shot
A bang
Too hot
He sang
Too cold
She yelled
So bold
They shelled
A shotgun
To full
“The fun,
“Not dull
“Makes me
“Happy to be”

What Are Friends For

Arabs are wondering what fool
They can shoot on their way to school
The Yanks do not care
As they shoot their share
Ensuring the NRA rule

Shotgun

Red raw 
Featureless flesh 
No eyes to see
No nose to smell
A hole for a mouth
Tubes to feed and breathe…

…Survivor of shotgun suicide*

Newyear Eve Fun

its a long night
city bright lights
look up
ball in the cup
  as clock tick
 come down quick
mabe cold  be bold
 dress  
don't look a mess
   and  don't run
less hear a shotgun
ITS
NEW YEARS EVE 
FUN

Gun

Does not always smell gunpowder
Even
The license Double-barreled shotgun
Hanging with the deer
on the wall
But if the gun
Be translated into any language alive.
The smell of death

Cupid's Golden Arrow

Golden arrow hits its mark
releasing love pheromones
attraction is imminent
wedding or shotgun

Shotgun

Gunshots ring out
Too many bodies to count
Running and hiding 
While bullets keep firing 
Blood sprays 
Where bodies lay 
Going to the light 
Because of gun rights
But my question is this,
Is your right worth the crimes those commit?

The Trigger

Africa is a shotgun
The origin of all civilization
Nigeria is the Trigger
But its a long shot
Awaiting the rise of the giant 
  Of the dark continent
Oh !! Africa how long shall
  Wait for your emergence.

Journal Entry

In a nearby village, a man unfurled his manifesto of machinations.
Shotgun blasts echoed the summit until he turned,
cheeks flashing in the biting cold.
A bouquet of flower petals,
explosive roses frozen in time,
sculpture at the snap of one’s fingers.

Joy

Joy is like a bowl of fun,

Joy is not like a shotgun.

Joy is like a kitten born,

Joy is like the sun that's warm.

Joy is the sky that comes with clouds,

Joy is like a cat that meows.

Joy is a car that goes really fast,

Joy is a bird that's flying past.

Ticks On My Back

ticks on my back
saying knock knock knock
no joke 

wood ticks no doubt
deep woods varmints
burrowing in

biting me with gusto
heads buried beneath my skin
making me crazy

go get my Uzi,
my shotgun, my scalpel, my pen
I have a poem idea and it is a win.

July 1969 - Neil Armstrong's Moon

I’m riding shotgun in her car
as we drive through the night
neath Neil Armstrong’s moon
radio plays that Animal’s song
but San Francisco's almost as 
far from this humid Oklahoma 
night as Neil Armstrong’s cold
moon yet maybe I’ll get 
past second base tonight.

Bringing Up the Rear

The only one along this road… 
riding shotgun through my mind
Tomorrow waits for someone else,
lost wanderings consigned
Forgetting what the moment augurs,
living in the past
Confirming what I’m most afraid of
—behind whoever’s last
