Hazy skies choke me
Eyes red unable to see
Coughing I stay in
Trades return to set me free
Kona winds blow south once more

Lucky Luke

Today's the day Lucky Luke
trades his hat in for a tuque
not sure his fashion choice and flair
will still be a hit with ladies everywhere

A Wise Man

  The glory that is Greece
    the grandeur that is Rome

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

Bad Trade

Sheep that follow leaders and wear wool,
sadly, often don't live a life that's full
before the part of them that does remain
trades in their wool for cellophane.

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

Classy Duck With Yellow 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?

No One Recognizes the Ballerina

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

Jack-Of-All-Trades

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
  you're gonna call him again

Full Grown

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.

A dark world

Our hard work put in grades
To a future that’s printed
As people and trades 
become money that’s minted

Our peace slowly lost 
to a world full and grey
With a price tag and cost
We sell our souls away

Once was a jack-of-all-trades, no longer, not now To screw in a lightbulb, wifey shows me how Turning it right or left Used to have success Next time I'll probably fall off the ladder, kerpow!

Gr ace kingpin

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

RD

R.D. Miracle Man 8/28/2024 He was “Jack of all trades, Master of none” but a real handy asset when under the gun. He always made haste, and time didn’t waste, never slowing down until his job was done.

Pain

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.

Mischief In the Fifties

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

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.

Shaq With a Human Resources Degree

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

Just Because

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

Jack Ace, Jackass

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"
