Thoughts hither, slither like a snake,
Thru fetid weeds to reach your lips,
From there, that poison aptly drips,
And mixes draughts I can't partake ...
Still, farewells come as 'farewell' quips.
How low you bend to tend the plants,
That bloom with petals of your need -
A swoony tune of won'ts and can'ts,
To feed your breed of garish greed
That hides a serpent's circumstance ...
A goodbye sown to make me bleed.

it started
as a pic
nic for
two
we ate
sunshine
and absorbed
more then enough
food to fill four
swooning
couples
well
at least
for me being
the swooner and
she playing the part
of the swoony who
in an act of anger
makes a scene
and leaves
leaving me
to make the toast
of tea that she will be
always with me using the
almost foreign forever word
in the ending soliloquy
as i gather the four
corners of our
plaid empty
blanket world
tie it to the end
of a stick walking
while whistling now
a silhouette into
a lonely hobo's
sunset
She came in flying sheet of ice an icing on the cake
For that matter idle chatter frisky kitten chilly cold
Oven ready eyes are beady dough is steady simple bake
Funny spicy squashy swishy kitty kitten beauty bold
Feel the hammer on the tamer Blakie beeper well done
Susie Moosie silky milky fickle trickle stories told
That is good for Louise Lucy get a nosy beetle bun
Horny Forney makes a journey on a mushy maudlin street
Eddie uncle cried uncle beyond all this fiddle fun
Spoony Fanny ice of fire had a bun in oven kit
Paul the swoony took a Cooney out of a meaty stew
Pummeled horses ran onto borsches Kitti kitties fully fit
Icy darkness gives all souls a perky kitten mew
This closes scores of stooges give the poor devil his due.
