Yikes, Mountain Mike, Recovery
Only four stairs to ascend!
And with a broken leg on the mend?
It felt like a wet noodle.
Or more aptly, hot Stroodle .
Hanging on to that railing for dear life,
As though we were husband and wife.
With a six foot grandson at the top of the
stairs.
My daughter below, in case I flop like a
gigantic

Yikes
slowly do they creep
these demons
smiling slayers of souls
creeping
shadow-like thoughts
incubated in the womb
of a dungeoness despair
taunting the daylight
of forever’s darkness

Yikes
You’ve taken off my clothes, and you have bathed me.
I’m ice-cold, shivering; what’s going on?
What’s happened to that towel you always use
to wrap me in? Don’t tell me it is gone!
You hold me out in front of you right now
as if I have no feelings. Oopsies!
I get it now. Pee’s sliding down my leg.
Oh, my

Yikes
Stop this pounding in my head
Tired red eyes full of dread
Reading lines and lines of words
Every time I stand it hurts - ouch!
Sleepy mornings go by slow
Squeeze a breath out and try not to wallow

Yikes
Stone cold sober
I was one day
When a lady
Stood in my way
She smiled at me
Like something weird
Then just like that
She disappeared!
Was she a ghost
Or a lost soul?
Or some actress
Playing a role?
Like an omen
Of things to come
She blocked my way
But left me dumb
Those who vanish
By day or night
Cause confusion
What's wrong or right?
Lord have mercy
On "Second-sight"
Pop-up spirits
Cause quite

Yikes I Got Man Boobs
with noticeable burgeoning bosom in the offing, ahoy
this baby faced blubbery bosom beastie boy
fast becoming a bra man,
and might hire himself out
as a male wet nurse for employ
ment, cuz when stark naked on shark tank,
I behold two bopping, brewing, busting
flap jacks in search of a frying pan,
which change in my physiognomy doth annoy
but, suddenly spurring,

Bikes, Yikes
What's with you all guys in
your spandex on spokes,
bearing down like demons
on us poor ambulating folks?
It won't be so funny,
surely no little joke,
if you crash into us
we'll (both) look like
broken egg-yolks
So, try to have courtesy
at least, show some respect
cause when you're
travelling that fast,
who knows what to expect

Zowie Yikes and Holy Gadzooks
Zowie, yikes
And holy gadzooks!
It's that really silly
Poetry kook
Coming at you
With giggles galore
Funnies, chuckles
And so much more
A formula for sailing
Right through the day
Laugh at your troubles
It's better that way
No sense complaining
It makes you feel sad
Just think of it folks
Things aren't that bad
It could be worse
You could live in a shoe
Have dozens of kids
And animals too
No place
