How to Become Irrelevant

Bark
yap yap
blah blah blah
be close minded
praising those banning
books, education, rewriting folk
pretend to be truth while
every word uttered is a hateful lie
you're disposable, a widdle bitty pawn
the big Zionist eye, laughing at the clown
slaughter slaughter slaughter
despicable acts only fools would cheer
a raging racist sits alone while nursing his girly beer

The Rook-ie Senator Who Dethroned King Trump

Standing ovations and rounds of applause
The elephants trumpeted just because
T-rump pulled their puppet strings
As if he had Angel wings
They should've been protesting with guffaws

I chose not to watch the bigotted sap
Or hear the hypocrite spew words he'd yap
At the butt kissing event
My time was much better spent
Wondering how people believe his crap

A message in response to Trump's address
Elissa Slotkin spoke of the big mess*
and in ten minutes of time
She was utterly sublime
With "Checkmate" she dethroned Trump's king in chess

*Elissa Slotkin is the newly elected Democratic Senator who delivered the rebuttal to Trump's address to Congress

THE CODEPENDENT NARCISSIST

Hmmm...she will do
I think he's looking at me
Not much to look at
He's moving this way
Yap, she's unsure
I better look around

"Hi there, beautiful
May I buy you a drink?"
......"SURE".....

Oh crap...that sounded needy
Oh, this is definitely, THE ONE
I should have played coy
She will serve me well
Help me Lord, I don't know
Just one more move to go

"Care to dance?"
"I'm a clutz."
"Just follow my lead."
"You make it easy."

Two moves, that's all it took
For the bait and hook
To connect to tissue
Never alone again
Too little and too much
Bringing balance to any issue

....that separates....

Sassy and Genghis

Sassy and Genghis they now get along
Sassy liked Kublai but he is now gone
Old Genghis still a little grouch
he growls at Sassy if she joins him on the couch
Sassy will at times kiss him and sniff his little face
when he is behind her sneaking a sniff takes place
Under the desk Genghis loves to hide and stay
when she crawls to greet him he growls her away
If on the bed Genghis cautious for Sassy rolls
he will yap at her and even hide behind pillows
Treat time Sassy gobbles hers right away
Genghis takes his time teasing her all day
Sassy lies down in front of him whimpering and whines
Genghis growls and wags his tail taking his sweet time
Though Genghis is little and Sassy twice as big
she never angers toward him is playful instead
She will steal his treat right under his nose
when playing keep away stay on your toes
They love barking together at anything in sight
they are more amusing than causing a fright.

Sometimes Sassy will sleep beside him
and Genghis is okay.
Without our sweet Sassy
Genghis would be lonely every day.

I want to be the Person

I want to be the person
Whom you can come to when
Everything is going wrong
I’ll always be there to hold you
And listen to all your problems.
I want to be the person
Where you can confide in 
Without any worries.
I want to be the person
Who is your comfort zone
I’ll always be here when
You need me be it any hour of
The day I’ll be there for you
Even if am sleeping or doing any work.
I want to be the person whom
You can yap about anything
Without any worries
As I love listening to your yapping.

both talking neither listening

my telephone pal and I speak at each other daily
neither of us listens
but we know when to pause
and pretend

I speak of my garden
tomatoes, radishes, carrots, lettuce
she speaks of her granddaughter Gigi
pretty, perfect, smart, wise, wonderful Gigi

I will send you a photo she says
I get a photo of Gigi
She gets a photo of my garden
she yaps, I yap

Pausing at the right places
pretending we are listening.
both of us talking
no one listening

blah blah blah

yap yap yap
blah blah blah
sixty percent of her students are not listening
research shows our attention span is fifteen minutes
yip yip yip
most of the class is texting or doodling
some watch a video on muted phones
blah blah blah
teacher drops the word “quiz”
a few heads come up
some ask others what she said
none of them know

Disconcerting

At the canine yap concert, Three Dog Bite
There's not one dog port-o-potty in site
so long lines form at a tree
for each mutt and pedigree
It proved quite a long dis-concerting night

Two, One, or Zero

Two wiener dogs meet
Each yap loudly, strangely greet
Oddly on the street

Hounds bite other's butt 
Owner blames the other's mutt
Not open and shut

I note discreetly,
"Both were gone quick and neatly, 
Devoured completely"

Another witness 
Says, "'twas one, not two or none 
Lucky to remain"

Judge asked the witness,
"If each pooch ate the other  
Which was out, which in?"

A surprise witness
Loudly shouts, "there were two, they
Switched identities"

Porch Dreaming

His idle head
went running, jogging,
racing in a convertible Porsche.

A wicker chair creaks,
images arise behind closed eyes.

Out there, beyond his sight,
people watch him sprinting away,
dogs chase and yap -
running like that
can get you fizzy-dizzy.

No, he will go shopping
for a Tesla,
or a Chevy Corvette.
Which?

Decision making
always made him dither-some
and achy.

Too much purchasing power
quite tired him out.

The sun, was by now,
falling asleep on his skin
as he rocked back and forth
counting pots of gold.

The Rt Honourable Judge History

Normalise the teen
Seen slutty on your screen 
Insta app’s the pimp

Youth attracted person 
Sounds like feral yap
Bright colour’s brand sin

By history’s stone judge
The Black Cap atop his wig
For poisoners of innocence 

By David Nickle Read

Lagniappe

Written B:  D. Collins 7/25/23



When it comes down to it, I like Lagniappe with mine.
A little something extra as hot as cayenne.
The special thing that keeps me coming back.
Is a woman willing to share all of her Lagniappe.



/'lan?yap/
noun

something given as a bonus or extra gift.



It's a Li'L Sump'n added that we never see coming.
So, never turn it down, nor turn away running.
Embrace it and enjoy it.  It is only Lagniappe.
The thing a person like me is trying to get at.

Voice

My pup is such a fluffy lump
Cute and sweet and quiet plump.
He chews, he plays, wees on the mat
And tends to annoy the kitty cat.

He yaps and yaps growls and yaps
And likes to sleep on my lap.
He loves to play with his favourite toy
My cushions he'd chew and destroy.

The yaps and yaps are now barks
His growls are deeper like his bark.
His voice has changed as he's grown
Deeper in sound; adult in tone.

Now full grown and older in years
He still has his floppy pup ears.
His puppy voice has now long gone
But still does his squeaky pup yawn.

He guards, loves games, but not a bath
Does funny things that make me laugh.
He's slowing down as his age creeps up
But he will always be my yap, yap pup.
