This Summers Day

this summers day
substituted coffee
for booze
and now I feel
no need for a muse
just something I
wanted to do 
for a long time too

chef rabbits special stew

Chef rabbit’s specialty was lovely, marvelous cabbage-carrot stew.
One year there was a drought, and he did not know what to do.
No cabbage anywhere around, okay, maybe he could scrounge up two.
He substituted lettuce, and it was tastier, on a scale, twenty-two.

My Diet

I am on a diet you know
This was my resolution
I stopped eating sweets
And  threw away my chips

I’m eating more veggies
I substituted water for sodas
No more fast foods or pastry
I take walks that last hours

I weight myself today 
I gained two pounds
I was so depressed
But soda and chips 

made me feel better.

Severe Weather Warnings

Long-range forecasts
predict outbreaks of pretty weather girls.
In the event of short-range predictions,
some ugly guy may be substituted.
In the case of an emergency,
mice may seek the sheltering wings
of owls and hawks.
By midnight, the total destruction
of garden gnomes is anticipated.
Survivors are asked to remain
in their bathtubs
until absolutely clean.

Three Blind Mice

At music class, they sang the song
About the farmer's wife
But this time, just to be P.C.,
There was no carving knife.

The mice retained their tails, but still
There was a bigger crime;
They substituted "nice" for "knife,"
Which doesn't even rhyme!

The lyrics from our youth, I'm sure,
Caused not one drop of harm,
But for the future poets,
I am sounding the alarm.

Mr Mojo Risin

Mr Mojo Risin
is just another version
of Jim Morrison.
Mr Mojo Risin
has the excact letter combination
as Jim Morrison.
Mr Mojo Risin
was created by Jim Morrison
and is sung
repeatedly in The Door's L A Woman
by Jim Morrison,
and such is the origin
of Mr Mojo Risin.
Mr Mojo Risin
can also spell Jim Morrison.

My legal full name happens to read:
Will I Am A Creator (Well, I substituted an "R" for an "L" but that's it)

After the Slap

Everybody’s seen it
And discussed it to no end,
Wondering what repercussions
It may yet portend.

But to have a welcome chuckle,
Go check out James Corden’s song.
If will guarantee a grin and likely,
You will sing along.

For the writer took the Bruno tune,
Which most of us now know,
And just substituted Jada,
Making it so apropos.

How it blows my mind when talent
Takes an item in the news
And creates a little magic,
Well-deserving of our views.

Bouncing Baby Song Nursery Rhyme Song

Bouncing on my grandma's knee.
A pirate on a boat at sea.
A monkey swinging from a tree.
Laughing with grandma and me.

(Chorus)
Up and down
Round and round
Riding on a
Merry go round

Bouncing on my grandma's knee.
Buzzing like a busy bee.
Sweeter than the sweetest pea.
Grandpa's waiting next for me.

(chorus)
Up and down
Round and round
Riding on a 
Merry go round

In the woods 04-12-23

In the woods, a man, shadows dance
examining his fleeting silhouette, stuck in a trance.
He raises his fist toward the sun.
He sees its embrace, withdrawn.
He wonders is a shadow the absence of light
or the presence of darkness?
If both then why
when he raises his hand further to the sky,
does brilliance become substituted by obscurity?
Is he a bringer of darkness?
Or is darkness just unfortunate light.
Trapped beneath an opaque shrine.
Bidding its time for freedom.
