Jock strap's migration
could cause you constipation;
you may go on runs
Called bipolar intestines
by pejorative wordsmiths

Pejorative words
can’t stop intestinal run
and it is absurd
to think that once we’ve begun
it’s hard to quit having fun.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

You quit having fun
rising on wrong side of bed
The wall should have been
your first clue it's the wrong side
Roll over and take a nap!

Short naps are quite nice;
just roll over and then snore.
Warnings should suffice.
In recliners, it’s a chore;
roll over and hit the floor.

rolled back and hit floor
last night in the recliner
game in last minutes
wife and daughter had to lift
the chair back onto its feet!

Chair back on its feet!
Was my Tanka prophetic?
Chagrin is complete.
Hope all is copasetic
and I am sympathetic.

I am pathetic
needing help to get around
can't even drive yet
I'm concerned about Eileen
that I'll simply wear her out

You won’t wear her out
for Eileen is your life-mate.
I have little doubt
your improvement will be great
and those concerns will abate.

My worms will be bait
for the hook of the tanka
with which you respond
but will it be a floater
or sink on down to flounder?

Flounder in the sink
is much too large to filet.
Therefore, one would think,
for the halibut I’d say
you might save your sole today.

save your soles today
by stuffing shoes with cardboard
so feet won't be bare
sometimes the road can be rough
so give yourself some padding

Padding yourself gives
protection from broken bones.
The longer one lives,
weight gains in pounds or in stones
ain’t what a doctor condones.

what your doc condones
is what increases his fees
feels it in his bones
like he has a case of fleas
... think he's going to the dogs?

Going to the dogs
are fleas and ticks from your yard.
Use good insect fogs
Which help to kill or retard.
That is not a base canard.

The process’s ends
are set before life begins.
The time that one spends
that gift should be free of sins.
On this, your reward depends.

All pages have turned
and yet my life’s book still grows.
Reviewing what’s learned
may be helpful, I suppose
but changes come from… Who knows?

from places not imagined
amazing our minds
Who knows what the future holds
and what will hold us in it?
