for myself...
I am and I'm right...
for eternity and a half
I hunt myself and I can't find...!...

You are or you aren't, a dude or a filly
No mistaking this dude
Ladies I do woo
A yummy specimen of peace and tranquility...

Now that's going a little over the top-is
A gorgeous specimen
I stick to my regimen
Eating fruits and yummy grasses>center>...

German scientists back in the fifties
Created a specimen, half-human, half doggie
But kept it a secret
Moral issues deepened
No more experiments, no further blarny...

Hey look at me, quite a treat you will see
A body so fine and it's all mine, but ain't free
Demand big dollars
Want a piece? just holler
However, a bank loan may be needed...

Birds have a special place in our hearts
A beautiful specimen, our love's off the charts
When in flight
A glorious sight
Wish I could soar with them on their dream-like course...

There was a gal who saw little green men
while drinking Guinness - about nine or ten,
she thought they would disappear
if she stopped the Irish beer...
but she's become their earthly specimen!...

Are you aware of the brainpower it takes
To rhyme five lines, it makes my old brain ache
Though easier for me
It still ain't a breeze
An exceptional specimen of a genius it takes...

Now that's going a little over the top-is
A gorgeous specimen
I stick to my regimen
Eating fruits and veggies and yummy grasses

A couple of months I'll be eighty-one years old
This warm body of mine will soon start to feel cold
Had a great life
Not too much strife
And this gorgeous specimen is still pure gold

LOL...

At my age, I've seen it all, done it all, and heard it all
Only problem is, I just can't remember it all
Brain's filled to the brim
Even store stuff in my limbs
A marvelos specimen after my recent overhaul...

Being the most rarest,
Specimen, by far
Should Women be treated
like the jewels, they are
With the Magic they bring
of a shooting star
It's like catching fireflies
in a mason jar
Something We marvel over
like a brand, new car
Which We wish to keep safe
from any scratch or scar...

A gentle spider
spinning a web,
slowly descending
down it's ladder,

into the light
so bright, such
a size is this
beautiful creature,

what a amazing
specimen of life,
as I watch you
spinning away,

without a care
in the world,
so gentle, so
lost in your work.

What of life? What of death? Clinical murder under investigation.
With cruel calculation, the doctor splits the fetus into sections.
A "little boy's" leg jerks reflexively, a helpless human specimen.
Dreaming of riches, she coldly mutilates, a chilling death sentence.

Bessie the cow
a prizewinning specimen,
has sadly relinquished
her gold rosette

Ruby red ribbons
of congealing blood
coat the floor
of the abattoir

The silly cow
ignored the bull,
farmer Fred’s freezer
will be full!

Fairies flawed each man,
That no women ever needed any men. 

Princes were rescued by the Princesses!
Those ladies were fierce,
They fed fear in any evil that existed. 

Princesses were warriors of their own kingdoms,
Hailed by Kings and Queens. 

Knowledge was a knife knot in their keys. 

They were the omen of our specimen....

As the crow preens her pride
Whistling truth through corn maze
She is looking for a mate
He is a brilliant contender
Whistling truth through corn maze
Watching for best specimen
He is a brilliant contender
Magnificent match for both
Watching for best specimen
She is looking for a mate
Magnificent match for both
As the crow preens her pride....

Shaped like a
polar magnetic field
but more greener
with a stub of a stem
let me see here
your name is
Granny Smith
Crisp and Tangy
4017, Produce of USA
A fine specimen indeed!
I hope the fruit pickers
didn’t put their
greasy, grubby
Beaner hands
all over your
luscious
surface.

The rough world’s bruised you
but not enough to save you.
You die tomorrow at sunup....

Close up, the finality of
our work will be revealed
from the encased sealed 
specimen, now under the
microscope, three years
of research and hundreds
of failed attempts ... alas,
this is the last of them
and this will give humanity
~~eternal life~~
be careful doctors, oh no,
the light spectrum its too ...
no, no, no, omgoodness,
"Now we're all going to die!"...

Every time I look at him,
I see a man looking back,
A man with a gorgeous, handsome face,
A man who’s so relaxed,

And as he turns away each time, 
I take note below his waist,
And need to hold myself together, 
For his a$$ is perfect shaped,

I cannot believe such a man exists, 
This specimen of pure delight,
This man who’s probably not into me,
That I dream about every night....

warm spring day dipping toes in the cool creek I spot a geode; a large specimen, of crystals that I will clean  and admire as it rests between my favorite amethyst chunk and the twin crystal, on my mirrored tile,
next to the potted plants.


natures’ offspring
glitters in creek water
sunlight reflects
