The cry of the turkey's gobble
left me in a cranky nobble
so I could fall sleep
no sound should he peep
stupefied, my head did wobble
armed with a hatchet in my hand
hoping a final blow to land
he ran, zigged and zagged
he dodged, jigged and jagged
I could not land the chop I planned
when at last my greatest chance came
though red-eyed, I took deadly aim
my aim was way off
the turkey did scoff
this Thanksgiving was turning lame
no turkey please, I’ll just abstain
my determination did wane
sleep overrated
ego deflated
bird became perpetual bane

The bed covers grew longer and longer.
As the continuous thread was fed,
from the spindle to the spools unwinding and rewinding,
from spool to spool twisting and weaving its threads,
through the eyes of the needles,
and into stitches of rows that zigged zagged,
In alternating colors of yellows, blues, and reds,
with prints of daffodils across the covered beds.

There was a quick wit who needed a gig
When his jokes fell flat, he danced Irish jigs
But one night he was so drunk
He kicked up a breeze that stunk
It seems 'quick-wit' zagged when he should have zigged

the footpaths that stretched
out of sight until never
the parched ground and grasses
when miles seemed forever
wild garlic, the nettles
the heat and the heather
the flies that would zizzzz
past our ears to wherever
the bees in the foxgloves
collecting their treasure
the midges that danced
in a group all together
the butterflies that zigged
and then zagged for good measure
the dandelions drifting
on the air at life's leisure
the long lost hot summers
full of fun love and pleasure
- I remember those walks
and the woods
and that weather.

Blood shot eyes.
A million failed tries.
Death is impossible.
Only I am responsible.
They are going to isolate me.
Dark room I cant see.
I've gone crazy in my mind.
Everyone I know has left me behind.
I give up.
I'll just shut up.
Silence is bliss.
My razor gives me a single kiss.
Deep and long.
Me and my razor dance to a song.
We zigged and we zagged.
My razor is slowly being dragged.
I take my last and final breathe.
As we finish our dance of death.
