They said this strange man ate his squirrel:
such a lovely arboreal rodent, a creature that nibbles.
First he eats its legs, then its body,
but omits the heart. That is precious.
What? We do not eat a squirrel?
Boiled, broiled, roasted or raw? With sprinkles?
There are strange people who choose
certain creatures of fur. But never one that gnaws?
And those spirited, spunky sprinkles?
There are strange folk who resist a pitter-patter,
with or without a squirrel, whether it be boiled or broiled,
even roasted or raw - without those sprinkles
and, of course, those spatters.
There are funny folk.
They don’t eat an arboreal gnawer?
And do we think of Gnawer and his ark - with squirrels?
So odd how we ponder
on creatures of fur, with or without
those spirited, spunky sprinkles.
Brains do the oddest of things.

Hippo with starlight sprinkles is such a hoot.
We love playing with him, said a fairy named Toot.
His sprinkles are not as sparkly as his personality.
He is delightful in every direction, as much as he can be.

mist rises across the mountain’s wrinkles
painting the hills in His silent embrace
rain, His blessing, gently falls in sprinkles
mist rises across the mountain's wrinkles
laughing, singing, glistening with twinkles
pausing to pray for His abiding grace
mist rises across the mountain's wrinkles
painting the hills in His silent embrace

Chocolate sprinkled with Caramel so delicious
Enjoying them both together is so perfectly luscious
The overall combination is completely tenacious
No better way of saying it, your eyes are precious

Squatter pulse rates purvey hoarder rain,
Blood drips, heaving, flipping the veins hole.
Shaping an abyss in your nearest chain,
In the dusk, you can hear raindrops on the tole.
Blood drips, heaving, flipping the veins hole,
You expect a reply as you hear and embrace.
In the dusk, we can hear driblets on the tole,
You sink into the gloom with its tune chase.
You expect a reply as you hear and embrace,
In the water, we will be exposing gaps of refuge.
You sink into the gloom with its tune chase,
In the gaps amid hurried swing and deluge.
In the water, we will be exposing gaps of refuge,
Blue and silver waves echo in the bland brine.
In the gaps amid hurried swing and deluge,
Painful and subtle, disclose an anxious whine.
Blue and silver waves echo in the bland brine,
We can spot underlying stream dysmorphia.
Painful and subtle, disclose an anxious whine,
Under the decent ripples of life lies dyspraxia.
We can spot underlying stream dysmorphia,
Shaping an abyss in your nearest chain.
Under the decent ripples of life lies dyspraxia,
Squatter pulse rates purvey hoarder rain.

muzzle the people while making billions
unleash a maelstrom of communist virus
into the veins of the harlot media tyrants
into the hat of power magician- politicians
spread fear-mask -divide the people
inoculate a frightened population
with experimental vaccinations
endless mutations-booster brigades
rinse and repeat-new age slaves
frighten-mask-silence-divide-globalize
turn abnormal into normal.
Stalinize the children
brand parents as terrorists...
groom their children not to think
to blindly follow Godless sheep...
where abnormal is normal
godisdevildevilisgod
menarewomenwomenaremen
while in our mental lethargy...
there's a man tinkling the word "woke"
in the stall next to the little white girl
who's being taught that she is inherently racist.
This is just the beginning folks:
wake up mamma bear
lock and load pappa bear..
fight for the soul of your children
there's a snake poking holes in the nest
of New Eden
stealing eggs at your expense
fight for the soul of your children
slap the snake with the rake of God..
separate the wheat from the chaff
sprinkle today with the blood of snakes
Amen!

We rejoice as tiny sprinkles arrive
Thinking they will revive the hot pink roses
Blossoms sparkle, dazzling in a fairy-like way
The sky slams gray
Visible shield hides sun
Unnatural heaviness now
Rain begins daintily
Turns to bullet-like pelts
Splashes onto us with coldest of cold drops
We laugh, cuddle under black umbrellas
Making fun of the one with happy faces
The one we all would rather have
Songbirds hide, road turns into rainbow swirls
Sky seems angry; tiny wind feels like a hurricane
Our bones shake, teeth chatter
Feet and socks are wet and uncomfortable
Roses are bending their heads to the ground
Ready for the executioner’s blade
We head for our fireplaces and burrows
Thinking of our fuzzy socks and a pot of hot chili
Once again forgetting what happens after dainty sprinkles.

Call me crazy or insane
But I want to make it rain
Every day, sprinkling down
Love on everyone around
Leaving rainbows all around
That can always be found
Full of color that can break
All the darkness out and make
A whole world full of sweetness
Believe me nothing can beat this
Dream I will make it come true
One kind act turns into two
Which will lead to many more
That will even up the score
On all evil if we try
A little kindness that can fly
Over rainbows, angel wings
Will soar as they gently bring
A feeling of joyful peace
Letting all our hearts release
A bright light that will never fade
Giving a needed upgrade
In a world that needed to
Stop being so mean and cruel

Herbs are so very savory
Each has its own great flavor.
Racing to my garden eagerly,
Beyond the veggies I do favor,
A whole lot of aromatic things,
Like thyme, rosemary, even sage.
Some folks prefer their food quite
Plain without taste or any fun;
Really though, that’s no delight
Instead away, I want to run.
No bland meals for my palate;
Kindly add some herbal sprinkles.
Let me enjoy some savory respite;
Exciting flavors make my tongue tingle.
Such delectable basil and parsley vittles.

The King lashed his horse with the rein
And galloped up front in the rain
When he lifted his sword
It was, 'Farewell my Lord'
For that was the end of his reign
