Little Kitty on a BunLittle kitty sitting on a fabric bun,
What is that your little paws are on?
A little fishy made of blue,
it's clear it means a lot to you.
Little puppy friend by your side,
open expression, nothing to hide.
How adorable you are, all of you,
You, your fishy, and your puppy friend, too....

Meaningless AbandonmentThere's abandon the stage playing music too loud
And abandon the podium in front of a crowd
Abandon the radio is playing a tune,
And I once saw a show with abandon the moon
McCartney once sang of abandon the run
And abandon the convent had a singing nun
I sing with wild abandon when taking showers
Wear abandon my hair with...

Checkered LifeTigers, generally, come in only one type,
wearing a coat with a vertical stripe.
My dad's stripes go sideways, and as one expects,
my fur is covered quite nicely with checks....

Newton and the Infinitesimal NutI thought of all things great and small -
what happens to an apple or a ball.
Maybe, I'll try calculus. But
can it crack the infinitesimal nut?...

Poor Mrs NewtonPoor Mrs. Newton had two kids.
One found gravity. He was bright -
while little Fig hit the skids
and was eaten in one bite -
different as black and white....

A Man, Most NewtonicHere's to the fellow we hold dear,
his blood, it was said, teutonic.
He holed up in County Lincolnshire
to escape the plague (bubonic).
'Twas there an apple fell on his head
and gave him a wonderful notion.
Before he even went to bed,
he wrote down the laws of motion....

Though her face bore a dull green patina
Her pancakes sure tasted good
Like buttermilk pancakes should

Orpheus In The Undergrowth
"As the greatest of all poets and musicians,
tho' you may call me 'liar',
Hermes may have invented it
but I perfected the lyre
and with my music and singing
if only I could see
the forest for the trees
I would coax the woods to dance for me
but, on the other hand
from where I stand,
it appears to be,
looking at it from...

One Small Step, One Giant Leap
With those who
want to test the waters,
and yet have no wish
to get their feet wet,
but wait to have their cake
(and eat it too)
handed to them on a plate,
I will neither split hairs
and pick nits
nor reason or debate
(or tear their thoughts to bits)
so,
if they're going to 'fly',
(jump to a conclusion)
either do it or don't,
as Yoda said,...

Nut Screws And Bolts
Listening to you
oh what a to-do
it looks like
you've come unglued
or going bananas
your psyche's addled the mind muddled
brain's fogged boggled or befuddled
is something missing
a marble or two
perhaps a loose screw
maybe more than a few
and making a run
or bolt for it
will never do
it's not too late
to join the inmates
for as well you know
you will still be there
wherever...

Lemonade
When life leaves you lemons
deserved or not
some sunny summer's day
neither fret nor sweat
if citrus is all you've got
to show for your lot
to keep the blues at bay
be creative pull out all stops
keep calm stay cool
either squish or get off the pot
think of a drink
(old fruit)
and you're made in the shade
easy peasy lemon squeezy
simply put... make...

Kathmandu
I've never been to Kathmandu
it's highly unlikely I'm ever going to
and I don't consider macaques the least bit holy
while some there choose so to do
tho' they may be Nepalese aristocracy
no they won't make a monkey of me
such couldn't leave me any colder
as it's all in the mind's eye of the beholder
and who decides what is...
