We are the fuhrer's cross-century storm trooper,
before us anyone except him must stand a stooper.
Storm the Dems in a jiff,
sink the SCIF, then skin Schiff,
sling back tightly locked and cooped Laura Cooper....

Kick boxing can be fun except for the rules
No kicks below the belt in a man's precious jewels
You may get a warning
When one ends up wailing
And cursing like a trooper with naughty looks so cruel...

Storm trooper in name, in action party poopers,
pizzas like poops, the perfect pooper-scoopers.  
Enjoying stuffs stale and stiff,
who cares watchdogs' snap and sniff?
Blockbuster busted, bucking up all its bloopers....

There once was a lass named Hortense
When she spoke she didn't make sense
An interpreter was needed
But the interpreter cheated
Swore like a trooper, made the air blue and intense

POLICE BRUTALITY MAY BE CAUSED 
BY THEIR STORM TROOPER UNIFORMS AND ACCOUTREMENTS
DRESS THEM IN NUN’S HABITS WITH A ROSARIES AND 
THEY MAY SHOW MORE COMPASSION
DRESS THEM IN A CLOWN’S OUTFIT WITH BIG SHOES AND 
THEY MAY SHOW MORE HUMILITY
DRESS THEM AS GOD 
AND THEY MAY LOOK OVER HUMANITY
AS THEY SHOULD...

She's "concerned" that my mess is immense
"I work late." Is my latest defense
Yes, my yard is a wreck
But IF you must peck
Your big NOSE might get stuck in my fence

So you KNOCKED my troublesome trooper?
Tell ya what you prim party-pooper
I will warn you once more
Poke your head through MY door?
I'll slam it right square on your snooper!...

I had never before seen a ballerina with these kinds of thighs
She was a absolute trooper, and she also juggled with knives
What do you call her? I asked the bullfrogs on the shore.
We call her diva, queen, and all about herself, today and forevermore.
I thought this was snotty until I shared what they said with others.
There was lots of laughter. Those are her five older brothers!...

Every day I went away
  Near fifty years of work
Pleasantly I spent the day
  Midst temptation's lurk

Pretty women all around
  Everywhere I turned
Dazzling smiles, alluring frowns
  For so many my heart yearned

Alas, I was a married man
  A trooper, faithful to his wife
But now she's gone, the field I scan ~
  Ponder paths untrod in life




~ This, of course, is pure fiction ~...

He rode the endless desert
As the days ran together in it

At first it was what he needed
But being alone finally exceeded

What he felt being the only law
In the Australian desert cut to the craw

He visited the homesteads occasionally 
And saw Aborigines living their life free

But one day when the heat was unbearable 
Life untenable he hung himself from a tree.

The prickly pear cactus is frozen
And the plant has toppled over
As the temperature rises, clouds cover
And the plant thaws will it spring approval
In the spring will it be a trooper
With the instinct for survival all over



(This was the morning that Cody had phone calls at three AM and he didn't wake up to 
answer them and I finally just got up. No excuse.  I should have checked my work. Sara)...

Listen to poem:

my life has lost
its luster and its shine
I try so hard to hide
the hurt I feel inside

all day long I carry on
like the trooper that I am
I strive to make you proud
as best I can

my life has lost
its luster and its shine
I try to carry on
‘cause I got left behind

Muffled drums bring slow marching feet
Around and across the waiting square,
Play past the halt and stop.
The Standard creaks to half mast,
A paused Trooper points his bugle
To pour the world silvered notes.
The ghost armies briefly stay
Their ever constant war
Then resume their fight
As the last note fades
And the parade falls out..
The Standard’s rope cracks cracks cracks
Against its pole on the empty windy ground....

Awe-and-shock parachute soldiers,
storm trooper boots hitting the ground
Death drones in search-and-destroy
hive imperative mode
Mission imprinted 
in their instinct driven 
war souls
Bloodstained boots 
treading 
on sacred ground,
which the holy prophets walked on
Dirty footprints in the sands of time
God, who sees all, 
will make the final judgment call
Remove thy shoes,
before it is too late
to choose...

I once had a donkey named Cass
Who ate sour oats with his lass
The carriage they towed
One day would explode!
When both of the asses passed gas !

The street sweeper's name was Jim-Bob
Who scooped up the cobble-street blob!
Dressed like a storm- trooper
The stench choked the scooper!
He chucked it.........along with the job !!

all my secrets and deep, deep truths
with the wrath of God, I heap on you
and like the trooper that you are, 
reply with insight and spiritual thoughts

you listen quietly, talking me through
these fallacious ideas and my blues
building me up, never letting me down
leave me smiling, when we're done

you complement, never criticize
and in these matters, you are wise
what other friend would stick around?
you totally rock, I'm your biggest fan...

Have you met  Goliath Grouper
bigger than the huge state trooper

around when you were flying low?
That ticket cost you lots of dough. 

In duel with fish of such a size,
he’d be the winner, you the prize.

Though mostly calm and quite benign,
you do not want one on your line.

Take warning divers, stay away,
don’t be a part of his buffet

like other big fish in the sea.
He'll think you are a delicacy.

A man in an HOV lane
Was driving in desert terrain.
A trooper passed by
And he asked the man why
When the HOV sign was so plain.

For restrictions require that two
Must be in the car subject to view
But the driver just said
Of his passenger, dead,
“I assumed that he counted. Who knew?”

See, the man drove an occupied hearse
Yet the rules, listing chapter and verse,
Don’t say occupants must
Not have bitten the dust,
Though a corpse at the wheel would be worse!
