Whose sole important passion was being afraid.

Have you seen my arrogant cow? The farmer asked me.

She is the one wearing curlers, as prissy as a cow can be.
I had not seen her, but now I was searching avidly.

Premium Member Limerick: Twenty-Three Skidoo

Flapper Shirley Shively sighed and thought, how could she?
She'd love to do that hootchie-kootchie dance, but would she?
Though the boys she loved to tease,
She was, sadly, quite obese.
Surely Shirley Shively shouldn't shimmy, should she?

Universal Laws

at one
of the many
intersections
in the multiverse

i quickly
shifted my
car in reverse
having just passed

a parking
space back
in nineteen
twenty three

but i knew 
it was a ticketable
offense to park diagonally
in a parallel universe

Much To Learn

I am young, and have much to learn
(so much) of life and all the alignments
of the stars,
I know this at least
( or at twenty-three I do)
That few of us have a will
to change, and fewer still
succeed.
(But who knows what I will know
at twenty-four).
