Tic Tac Toe
No Honour, No
Tic Tac Toe
No  Result, No
Tic Tac Toe, two sides go to war
Tic Tac Toe, No win, No lose, No draw...

Charlotte tried a new kind of game
her results always stayed the same
	called tic-tac-toe
	it was never a go
poor Charlotte was driven insane...

Let’s play charades!
No. Tic tac toe.
No Pictionary!
Okay, time for Cranium Cadoo.

A game that combines logic,
Chardes
Tic tac toe
and Pictionary!

New argument.
I want to be green!
No. I  am green.
I am always green.

The babysitter gives up.
Not realizing when Mom is here 
she is always green...

Keeping busy 
Tic-Tac-Toe
Checking my lists
Tic-Tac-Toe

Cooking and cleaning 
Tic-Tac-Toe
Trips to the lake
Tic-Tac-Toe

Let's take a walk
Tic-Tac-Toe
Rummaging and fumbling 
Tic-Tac-Toe

Just keeping busy
Tic-Tac-Toe
Never still. Never rest
Tic-Tac-Toe

Time always heals Mother said
Tic-Tac-Toe
Memories Never Fade
Tic-Tac-Toe...

A hankerin’
an unscratched itch 
which one doesn’t wish to scratch for one
a need for heat and warmth
a turnstile dreamer ushers night to morn.

A what the hell
why not devil may care
for who else does?
The siren calls Ulysses to her gate.

Flower scents surmount
the desert dryness of aging heroines.
Lotharios play grinding tic tac and toes
searching for the golden fleece.

And neither Heaven nor Hell 
concerns themselves
with such mundane matters....

Tit had a hissy fit and called tat fat
while tat apologized after the fact
tit kept egging him on with rude remarks
while tat used tact leaving tit in the dark

Tit called tat names all night and day
till she saw tat and their cat Tater Tot at play
tat said I would prefer not to play tit for tat
but would rather play tic tac toe with the cat

With that tit realized that tit for tat was a useless attack
finally forgiving tat for eating all of her tic tac's

im a bathtub full of luke warm water. 
tic tac toe in red crayon on the kids menu 
mom never lets me win.
itching the mosquito bites on my legs.
eating frosted flakes out of the box
sugar gets stuck in my nails.
morning eyes that never go away
no matter how much you rub them.
they say don't paint your kitchen red
because it will make you hungry
but red is a beautiful color. 
Dad talks to Shakespeare's ghost,
“Make me like romeo.” 
Mom reads his books, 
“Make me Juliet.”...
