Lorenzo Pietro Berra
was every opposition’s terror
to watch him on film
is like deja vous all over again
YOGI SAYS
Life’s all ups-n-downs
These states seem to be a fact
If you are human
What is the wise thing to do?
When you’re not down be UP!
People Have
Things Different
Than You Do...
BECAUSE
They Have
Something
You Don’t!
'Boo-Boo.'

The Indian guru's
mantra of the day,
tho' somewhat strange,
goes this way...
'When words fail
and at a loss,
contemplate aural hygiene
with transcendental floss.'
In the circus- an unexperienced and very scared yogi,
Just walked on huge pile of the burning coals!
He cried of course, when saw his legs are smoky,
My reader! Can you to do the same? You got a ba-ls?
Yogi Bear to me is as close as family
Out in the backroads of my youth
Grew with me through the years
I’ll always have that soft spot in my heart

Swastika Girls
In the Valley of Swat
The Holy Ghosts of rishis dwell
After all this time
All these changes
Nothing can erase
The lingering scent
Of gnosis

Yogi once said, “he hits from both sides of the plate
He’s amphibious!” that's true genius, no debate
Many great quotes
Came out of his throat
“so I’m ugly, I never saw anyone hit with his face”

Yogi and Boo Boo
catching a choo choo
going to the zoo
since cartoons are through
Writer's note: This came to me last week I was so inspired I even got 2 tee shirts made with that poem on them for my wife and I.
A yogi named Haridas, in 1837
provided a powerful demonstration.
He went into a trance.
Was buried alive.
Wax filling his eyes, ears,
mouth and nose.
After guarding the grave
for forty long days.
He was dug up, unharmed and arose.

Yogi Bear was named after this famous New York Yankee
Twas Yogi Berra, hearing him speak you never be cranky
A real fun loving soul
With a heart of pure gold
His goofy wit had his teammates forever needing a hanky

Manzanita
Manzanita
atop a slight rise
forms a natural shrine
The place a person
could place an offering
or say a prayer
The place a meditator
would sit
and become a buddha
(9/30/91)
A hush of silence settles down,
Broken by the soft gurgling waters,
Mellowed by the yogi's muted chants,
Without a soul to hinder his prayer;
Intellect perceptions intact,
Awake to supreme joys of knowledge,
Remains calm in tranquility,
Unhindered by all the worldly lusts;
Attains eternal peace within,
Karma of knowledge and devotion.
Gita: Eternal Peace Chapter 2 verse 70
it's the understanding
o noise surrounding
it on all sides
especially inside
the art of noise
is palette of colors
energetically abstract
on its canvas is beauty
a pushing through
relaxed eyes catching
the rhythm of the
piece as peace
every movement
fade into another
until it all flows as
gently as cool breeze
brushstrokes and colors
and flow and limbs
becomes a dance
of contentment
(This is a fictional poem)
My wife and I were sitting on a blanket that we laid on the grass.
Yogi Bear tried to steal our picnic basket so I shot him in the ___.
He grabbed the picnic basket and started to run.
That's when I nailed him in the ___ with my gun.
He steals picnic baskets when he's only supposed to eat berries and nuts.
You'll recognize him if you see him because he's the bear with a bald butt.
Yogi bear loved to rob tourists of their lunch,
raiding picnic baskets for brunch.
Always on the lookout for the park ranger,
his antics grew even stranger.
Boo-Boo routinely got caught with pilfered snacks,
being Yogi's friend had drawbacks.
Tagging along on the promise of a treat,
he served the master of deceit.
