tried to create
ridiculous stories
about things that never happened
just to see how far the tales would be spread;
one about a girl's missing doll
has become known as their
Partin' Dollie

miss bobs
when she’s walking
listening in her mind
to some inner music playing;
but if you look close, you’ll see the two I-pods’
wires mixed in with her long black hair,
listening to Dylan?
maybe it’s Plant…
Bob’s miss

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

missed brads
on balloon's edge
caused the blimp to explode
half way through its maiden voyage
placing it right over a forest fire;
recovery couldn't take place
until the fire went out.
Pilot's remains?

Brad’s mast
on his sail boat
was not attached real well
so he had to duck on each tack
or he would likely get hit by the yard arm
but his memory wasn’t good
and when the wind came up
his leeward tack
mussed Brad.

mushed bread
mixed with sugar
in a large glass of milk
makes a delicious ev'ning snack
but could cause you to have late-night gas
in your tank for one more morsel
not knowing what you bought
or what got your
beard mussed

sprinkled liberally with grated cheese
and if you’re late to the table
you’ll just eat leftovers
but you will have

each Saturday morning
to start off a wonderful day;
head to the kitchen and clean up the sink
while your oatmeal cooks on the stove
with bread in the toaster
awaiting some

fish sped
down the river
making it hard to catch
so we used an old Cajun trick
when they were hungry and didn’t trust luck,
they just lit a few short fuses
and threw the dynamite;
that is how they
speed fish

while it kept on swimming
not knowing of the pollution
that it was causing in the fresh water
that would continue flowing down
where the felon lingered

pied fish
are expensive
considering the koi
which can grow very large
with red and blue costing the most
but the expense of keeping them alive
is much greater because their food’s
eaten by the biggest
who see it first;

boiled and buttered
in your big new mixer
make delicious mashed potatoes;
some may say that you left out the best stuff
by not including the peelings
but you can still use them;
planting them makes
fresh spuds

fresh buds
of flowers bloomed
so I took them to her
to put a smile on her sweet face
but I have to watch very carefully
when my crass friends see me with her
because they will make some remarks
like they’re hitting on her
but they’re just some
fresh buds

drawing the attention of onlookers
to everything that's hanging out
way up there on the top
where they've become

could be from great horned owls
regurgitating hair and bones
or they could be poor rabbits used by bears
who asked if poop stick to their fur;
whenever they said no
bears used them and
blobbed fur

engulfed in its

and when the rabbit’s in trouble
he’ll stop by for a while
to have lunch with
br’er Ferd
