The Mosquito Squad
At last, Summertime is finally here.
It's time to put away our winter gear;
Show some skin and have a little fun
While soaking up the warm summer sun.
But unbeknownst to you and me
Is a treacherous insect far worse than a bee.
The mosquito lurks beneath the shadows,
Waiting to eat people's legs, arms, and toes.
Yes, this critter has

The Political God Squad
Our founding fathers showed great wisdom,
Defining our roots by constitutional debate.
From experience against an angered monarch,
The need was seen to separate church & state.
This core concept is now again being questioned,
As the church seeks a larger role to play.
It seems God wants to

Cat Eyed Glasses Girl Squad
Whatever you do, stay away from those three!
As a new girl, this was often said my many to me.
But they look rather sharp I argued, looking their way.
They wore cat eyed glasses, and seemed merry and gay.
They are a girl squad and it is closed I was told.
Warnings got dire, dark, dank, mean, kind of

Unite Squad
A tiny window that we can see through the house.
We can not see with eyes.
But we can see with our heart clearly.
We can see a forest there are lightings struck around.
The fire flames burning the forest they crisp trees.
The wolf howls.
The ground got extreme roughy it soil got burns
The sonic is going in are

K Squad
The letter K is still hereunto haunting my own aching heart:
One died; one starves; one grieves; one ignores; one texts; one goes hardly seen.
Sadly, the memories of my first love haunt me most of all.

(Note: The "ones" are my cousins with K names. The last line is about my only ex-partner.)

Firing Squad 1916
Another dawn moment
Another dawn crime
Another act of violence
In a violent desperate time.
The firing squad paraded
On the killing ground
Every rifle charged but
One with a blank round.
They carried out the victim
Tied him to a chair
Filled full of whiskey
Just to get him there.
As one the rifles fired
On the officer’s shout
And then the firing squad
Marched off and fallen

Hit Squad '23
Hit 'em up! Hit 'em up!
Up, out and away
Singles, doubles, triples
and of course, the Big Bombay!
Snitker stoically managing from
the dugout
Ron Washington on third and Eric
Young, Sr. on first helping runners out
Strider, Morton, Elder, and Fried leading
the way
Chavez, Minter, Mchugh, and Iglesias closing
the day
D'Arnaud and Murphy guiding and protecting
home plate
When it's their chance in the

My Drag Queen Squad
Their fingernails are nine feet high
Saying things like “gosh! I thought I would die!”
Many have mastered a dainty woman’s sigh.
When they are dressed I yell out “Oh my!”
They are beauties in every way.
Cordial and welcoming, “Please come stay!”
Some may be Trans, and some may be gay.
Their feelings intense in every important way.
They are talented, funny

Before the Firing Squad
“Before The Firing Squad”
the firing squad
came dressed
in faux smiles
the intervention cake
was spoon fed, like honey,
by mother superior
to the lesser bee,
with self-righteous
magnanimity
she wore the badge
Devil’s Advocate, proudly,
without any clear authority
casting bloodied
nasturtiums around the
sacred cow’s neck
then the F-cluster gaggle
tossed the child
without clear thought
shooting the Star,
like a dice
across a wheel
rushin’ the

PEP squad
Hello, let's cheer for the ones to hear
the gladness of our souls
The voices of the ones who speak
surefooted, strong and bold
The PEP Squad shares enlightended ways
together they bring gladder days
But many wish to keep them down
Crowd them with disdain so loud
Owens, west and wiley know and
Tatum, Scott and Owens glow
with light and grace that

One-Day
One day he will pass that road,
where there's a building full of memories old.
A wave of thought will splash his mind,
Will remember some people of his kind.
One day he will cross that gate,
where he was often standing for being late.
He will roam here and there all around,
But will not find his squad on the

Long time ago in the land of Nod
Lived a tiny creature who looked kinda odd
It was back to front
From it's bum it did grunt
It's being investigated by the “Back to Front” squad

She tries to play God
