And to what avail?
Is this me?

The Lady in the Mirroe

As I spy the Lady in the Mirror,
I wonder what is on her mind.
Is she doubting her femininty?
Is she glaring at her deficiences?
Is she startled by her versatility?
We'll never know.
Because she'll never talk....

Any Way You Want
To rejoice, freedom of choice;
Episcopal Church.

In the Episcopal Church Easter service,
you could stand, sit or kneel any way
you wanted to. 

Versatility,
Not needing nobility
Is best church approach.

Consider the versatility
of certain animal wearability:
The sheep produces wool
to insulate our body heat;
the cow a nonporous leather
to keep our feet dry in wet weather;
the pig puts on a layer of lard,
more commonly called fat.
But who, really – think hard –
wants to be seen wearing that?

More knowledge would have been fun
I was an idiot not to take the plunge
should have focused on versatility instead;
But was too busy enjoying the safe ride.

What’s the point of only getting to end point
if you are not going to enjoy the ride,
destiny should not be the target; but
experiences should be the ultimate take away..

Born "Lesane Parish Crooks", Tupac Amaru Shakur
Gone too soon; flung " Hit Em' Up" at his rivals, hardcore

Misunderstood, influential; the emperor of rap, in my view
His versatility, undeniable; he was a fine actor and poet, too.

My stint is to constrict,
Like a serpent on the offence.
Twisting and squeezing, 
My pulchritudinous polka dots.

Whether my complexion burns like fire
Or freezes like ice
My chassis and tenuity hold true.

Versatility makes my copies 
As I'm prerequisite to all.
Children abhor me,
Corpulent simpletons do likewise.
Prestigious parliament parade me
As I'm a sign of social standing....

You were an actor with great versatility.
There were appearances in many a television show and movie.
We remember you best as Congressman Morley
in “The Farmer’s Daughter”, a situation comedy.
You had your own world, and you welcomed us to it.
Many roles you took on seemed like a perfect fit.
You have passed on, and you’re someone we will miss.
You couldn’t have lived your life better than this.

RIP William Windom
(1923-2012)

Social Media, a much maligned platform 
Neither incites nor recites cretin creeds to form and inform
Cultures and futures steeped in heaps of disorder
Which account holders in their folders call to order
To invent and reinvent possibilities so vile
They invite unfair criticism and cynicism imbued with bile.
Account holders on social media bear their fair share of responsibility
For actions and distractions they inject and project into social media versatility....

Slick it down with wax
     It fits a crook

  Tho' it could also be 
     a circus-master's look

  Let it grow long, wooly and wild
     It's an over-age, curly-haired child's

  Squish it together into three teen males' little nubs
     Presto! -- a psychotic 'student rifle club'

  Eliminate its last faint trace
     A dapper gent your life has just graced

  A moustache is versatile, you will agree
     be it 'barbershop-quartet-ish' or a deep mystery...
