Loglimerhyme, Larry Jennings' variant of Logarhyme w/ 332332 pulse meter Options

[JustDaniel]

With a leash you can lead a new pup
teaching him with a tug what is up
so he won't get you down;
you can walk to the park with your pet
while you show him some thing he can get
when you walk about town.

[Larry]

When I walk about town with my pup
I must carry something to scoop up
what he will leave behind
because exercise moves his wee bowels
and he empties them or sits and howls
but that is so unkind.

[JustDaniel]

It is unkind to howl at your dog
just because he's afraid of the fog;
he won't find it funny.
Maybe you should go laugh at your rabbit
just because of his procreate habit;
he'll make you no bunny.

[Larry]

“He will make me no bunnies”, you say!
That’s alright. Don’t want none anyway
because something’s amiss.
There’s no mention of pregnant young mates
and unless there’s bi-sexual traits;
parthenogenesis!

[JustDaniel]

In the Parthenon, read Genesis;
let us hope that your mind's not a mess
as the temple became
after Ottomans made it a mosque.
As you're reading, perhaps eat a Bosc
and creation exclaim!

[Larry]

If creations explained to a “T”
from small gluons to our galaxy
Stephen Hawking would faint
for his theories on black holes and string,
on dark matter, damn near everything;
even some things that ain’t

would fill libraries up to the roof.
All he needed if he wants some proof
is to look at his thumb.
Like the super-compact matter “stuff”
as the big bang explodes “just enough”
ask, “where did it come from?”.

[JustDaniel]

If you know where it's from, you are God
or some seer who has come from abroad
where they know everything;
But I do not believe that they know
what they think, because they cannot show
you the head of the stream.

[Larry]

If the head of the stream to the mouth
always flows from the north to the south
then we must be atop
the equator that bisects the earth
but they don’t run that way around Perth
where most creatures can hop.

[JustDaniel]

If you hop on a creature called Horse
you may fall on your bumper midcourse
in a big cloud of dust;
If you give up and try to hang ten
you could land on your bumper again
but the ocean's a must.

[Larry]

When the ocean's a must to hang ten
and a surfboard's required to begin
with a tether attached
please be sure it's not shaped like a seal
because those seem to have shark appeal;
that's a sport to be scratched.

[JustDaniel]

When you're scratched while you're playing a sport
try a new team; it's your last resort
if you're wanting to play.
Since they placed you on waivers, just go
where you're given a place you can show
that you're in it to stay.

[Larry]

If you’re in it to stay but you leave
had you always just planned to deceive
or did that come about
when you stopped being sure why you came
and you wanted someone else to blame
like that dumb talent scout.

[JustDaniel]

So your talent scout isn't so dumb
now that you have performed and become
such a favorite guy;
but you still think that he's not so smart
because your life is now ala carte
over there in Shanghai.

[Larry]

Over there in Shanghai where we went
on a one day lay-over when sent
to the Viet-Nam war
I was less than impressed with the slum
by the dock and left there very glum
and still don’t know what for.

[JustDaniel]

I still don't know what I'm writing for
but our Lori had not locked the door
here to close down the site;
I'll just keep stimulating my friend
and hang on as though there is no end...
or until I lose sight.

[Larry]

In this treasure, I’ll never lose sight
of the pleasures derived when I write
visiting this abode
and if Lori had closed down this place
my poor brain would require lots more space
for my head would explode.

[JustDaniel]

If my head would explode, I'm afraid
it won't go very far if they laid
all the layers out flat;
There ain't much left in there; it has shrunk
from what used to be stuffed in the trunk;
I suppose that is that.

[Larry]

That is that I suppose unless this
could be that then I would be remiss
for my mixing the two
but if this and that are both the same
then we’ll be forced to give them a name
or chaos will ensue.

[JustDaniel]

That is that I suppose unless this
could be that then I would be remiss
for my mixing the two
but if this and that are both are the same
then we’ll be forced to give them a new name
or chaos will ensue.

When the chaos ensues will we live
or disperse like we've gone through a sieve
and be merged into All ?
I like order, myself, so I hope
it won't happen that way, or I'd grope;
with these knees I can't crawl!

[Larry]

You can crawl but your knees will still hurt
even if you can find some soft dirt
but if chaos arrives
we’ll all be a primordial soup
made of atoms and chemical goop
that will give you the hives.
