  The glory that is Greece
    the grandeur that is Rome

  A wise man trades it all ~
    for the warmth and comfort 
                 he calls home...

Epigram #143:
DO


Dare to speak out when evil trades,
Do raise the shout to lift harsh shades.

There is a classy duck with yellow shades.
He dances with quivering quaking shoulder blades.
We saw him down by the everglades.
I wonder if he would take some trades?...

she gladly trades in her well-worked ballet slippers
for scruffy Converse tennis shoes for the two mile walk home
no one recognizes the prima donna in her dungarees
without makeup...

  Dromedary of all trades
He just wished he could get over their humphs...

Jack-of-all-trades
  master of none
like a swiss-army knife
  he gets the job done

polite with the ladies
  all business with men
keep his number handy

A shoot escapes biting this stars ray,
E'er so oft rain splashes near its day,
Lil glow often drawn in braids,
Wind tussles ardent in trades,
A petaled sheath loosens for display....

Once was a jack-of-all-trades, no longer, not now
To screw in a lightbulb, my wifey shows me how
Do I turn it right or left
Used to have success
Next time won't need help I do vow...

Turning it right or left

Next time I'll probably fall off the ladder, kerpow!...

Queen of hearts
Jack of trades
10  9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Zero cards on table
as the world is overturned

suspended in air
expansive city in silver tones
bedecked with jewels

Saints on board

Quatrain #840:
PAIN

Poise in sad tones in deep dark shades,
Arc of old bones as pain now trades;
Immerse harsh cone of anguish hence,
Note how flesh hones the hurt charade.

Wads of Bazooka Joe under my seat
     cigarette smoke in the john

   Butting in line for some 'mystery meat'
     giggling at boys with a 'hard-on'

   This was the kind of mischief we made ~
     before handguns replaced baseball card trades...

Jack of All Trades
Miracle Man
5/3/2024

I once hired a man who never followed directions,
which required on my part, frequent inspections,
Though an old hand,
He didn’t understand,
So each task completed required some corrections.

This is the year of reinventing yourself
No matter what it takes
The jack of all trades is upon us

When you can no longer 
Dunk with perfect impunity
You have to play the game differently
Grab an organization degree
To top off the all star lunancy
And sit tight with middle aged comeback...

The most important things don’t need a reason,
—just because

The falling leaves beyond their season,
—just because

The sun trades the night to the rising moon,
—just because

The lateness that brings one last final goodbye,
—just because

He’s 
cool,
jack of all trades
master of none,
as he manipulates 
women for fun.

He’s
cold, 
ice in his veins
and slick lil' snake,
he'll kill ta' steal the deal
real as he's fake

He’s 
cruel,
crowned heart breaker 
full trophy case,
but most ladies know him as
"Lowly Jack-Ace"


This is RHYME METER~...
