I still think of you. 
fluttering sprite butterflies 
I am being upped....

Up To Your IRS

My exemptions upped;
Ended up being bankrupt;
They were all corrupt.

sand blistering hot
     throat parched I need water
              ah an oasis

where could it have went
     it just upped and disappeared
          no not a mirage

My ballot arrived in the mail
Like a skull & crossbones in gaol
But what gets my goat
If I do not vote
Then the GOP will prevail*

*For the Trumps to escape prosecution,
only the number of Republicans
elected to Congress matters;
quality, issues, and the future of
the USA are irrelevant to the GOP! ...

Listen to poem:

Visitations

Yellows upped,
humble shanty forms beyond verdant meadows.

Animals resounding,
quivering grounds,
championed zephyrs penetrate leveled jealousies.

I knocked,
the whitish doorway opened,
neighborly xenial exchanges.

Jamais vu, do I live here
I'm unfamiliar, is that my door
I know so much about this place
Or does it know me, is that my face
The words I speak I ponder on
Has the meaning upped and gone
Have I intoned and made it strange
Thought too deeply, out of range
Spiral off, pirouette
Bring me back, not ready yet
Just momentary lapse in thinking
No need to worry or blame the drinking
It's just the opposite of deja vu
Disorientation, go slow, mind blew...

It was many years ago
Mar and I tied the knot
And the good times were many
And the bad ones we forgot

Had Erin; Ellen; Edie
So we upped the people count
And then, each of them, in turn
Added more to the amount

We’re here now to celebrate
Something of momentous size
Marlys turning seventy
And the market took a dive

So raise your glasses on high
Let’s toast to the very one
Whose Birthday provided us
With all this good food and fun

I didn’t want to make a great fuss
When Fred sat beside me on the bus
A great stink did appear -
T’was expelled from his rear
I went green and started to cuss

I thought it would be indiscreet
If I upped and went to swap seat
He kept passing out gas
From his windy fat ass ...
(It’s lucky he can’t smell MY feet!)

No idea of his real name.. but this really happened to me on the bus yesterday
... I don't have smelly feet
