God was branded to be non-essential
gamblers and boozers were preferential
the playgrounds were yellow taped 
but no crime had taken place
while cons buffed their 38 specials...

Mister Jack Horner’s 
Shop on the corner –
His specials were cakes and pies.
While inspector was looking,
He thumbed in the cooking –
Now his shop is a Starbuck’s franchise.

Written on May 14, 2023 for the “Mother Goose Grows Up Poetry Contest”
(Growing up “Little Jack Horner”)...

Some days are heavy, others are not, but still
the same footsteps are tread none the less.
Gloved fingers essential in the biting cold.
Hands firmly gripped on the bundle.
Retrieve a signature; recorded mail.
Specials delivered by 1pm.
Last letter posted.
Cuppa needed!

Exactly the right colour,
The perfect amount of milk,
One of Mum`s specials as
We gathered round the table
In the kitchen and put
The pictures together,
As red lights turned and
The friendly doctor asked
What to do with 
The dressing gown.

Well it was rather a nice one
Said Mum.

Then it all went quiet.
Too late to go to bed.
Too early to get up....

Finding sale items
clipping coupons
2 fer 1 is great when find 'em

Short in the pantry
tripping to foodbank
lines are longer now for gantry

Top ramen special
10 for a dollar
loading up as noodle cartel

Stick a feather
in my cap
and call me "macaroni".....
        
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gantry...latin,canterius,"beast of burden"

macaroni...greek,makar,"blessed"...

Glimmers of glazed frosting levels,
enticing blissful specials,
scatters the blues of blue devils,
encased sailing vessels.

Rejuvenating windswept fresh,
limb held chirping bird thresh,
ever-changing flourishing mesh,
awaken breaths gooseflesh.

Spectacular melting winter,
beautician scene tinter,
the wood cord, no logs, just splinter,
skier last day sprinter....

What makes you specials to me ? 
You are  human beings created 
On the image
Of God 
I don't mind colours 
Or lives 
different levels.

What makes you specials to me ? 
We are always special to one 
And others 
No matter different religions 
Cultures and
Traditions 
No matter different 
countries
And 
continents 
No matter different
languages 
And 
genders.

i'm all for
what do you want

but when the
specials are
more noise

my seat
becomes
more than

avant garde
regardless
of my up

bringing
bringing

me right back
to this page
where i'm

connecting
the dots and
got caught up

where to go next
following freckles
with my tongue a

mong all these
others from
shoulder

to where
they take
me further

don't your
tattoos
point to

some
where
else...
