You're the apple of my eye,
so, I'll bake you in a pie.
Oven fresh, I will greet you.
Then, happily I'll eat you.

Premium MemberApple Pie - Unabridged Version

This is neither poetry, nor art,
It is not an ending or a start, 
but in all sincerity, says I,
"May I have a slice of apple pie?"

"Indeed, you may have your apple pie,
It is not a case of do or die. 
It's a simple fruit filled pastry,
thought by many to be tasty." 

"As the pie, I

Rhyme but no Reason for Treason Silly Season


Damn it the planet’s on fire

Concerning..right down to the wire

Burning on its funeral pyre spire


I’m for turning.. where’s the messiah?

A heavenly choir…so we can aspire

That learning will finally inspire

An endless yearning desire

Of spurning this friendless quagmire


Discerning things are rather dire

Churning of the palaver and ire

Mother nature does surely tire

Should be the crier & trier

Of another

Premium MemberDon't be Fooled

Don't be fooled by his smiling teeth.
They hide malevolence beneath.
And I advise that you never slight
him because of his squatty height. 
If you're feeling fast and cocky,
recall, a croc is swift and stocky.

Inner Child

You're never too old
to be young
at heart
even Freud was Jung
from the very start
altho' childbirth
is a labour of love
it's all in the swing
of things
and to about-face
child discipline
is strictly a case
of heir conditioning

Leading Man

Who needs to be a rider
racing 'round a track
way back in the crowd
I'm going to lead the pack
who needs to be a loser
spinning on their wheels
or yield pole position
I'm going to lead the field
and wear the yellow jersey
the one who wins your heart
no longer in a supporting role
I'll have the starring part
and if you'll be

Morocco Bound

Once upon a time
I set out to write a story
about going to north Africa
arriving in Ceuta
things were all in order
but no sooner on the bus
than detected reported
ejected from escorted to
and deported 'cross the border
it was to be an expensive
soft leather-covered book
and altho' I took
more than one look
I could not find the words
would fill a tome

Premium MemberLol

Laugh out loud: a good belly blast is good for the soul.
Lots of love:  spreading it is graceful and fulfilling.
Lots of laughs: The more, the merrier.
Losers of Lazarus:  Most of us but not me or you.
Luckiest of luck:  Certainly, I wish this for everyone.
Luscious over luster:  You really shine, baby.
Laidback over

Wasn't that a day -

Yet, in that regard,

Casper the Friendly Ghost 
was youthful and wanted one thing the most;
each show he searched to find and make friends.
kids always ran; maybe the wispy can't plan solid ends.

New Sonnet 4 'Unlike a Spurgeon, I by dull words unfold'

Unlike a Spurgeon, I by dull words unfold
The limits of my Sarah's love for me,
But I realize that the rot and stink and mold
Are all within my mind, beneath my See.
There is no other person who can love
For me.  It is my duty and my joy.
It is the Truth that True Love is made
