undaunted future:
unabashed time-machine work
to see what's coming
somehow what's going on now
is likely a lot safer

Is your lot safer
if you erect a tall fence?
Will the cost chafe her
and perhaps cause her to wince
or will she think it’s good sense?

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.

She seldom makes sense
when she tries to explain things
because she's not smart
but how could you expect more
with little education.

With education
knowledge is not guaranteed.
Train’s at the station
but no one will intercede
unless you think and have need.

your pizza dough long enough

Remake and cover
with a nice variety.
A pizza lover
wants to have a panoply
of food he can taste and see.

people hide from rain and sun
and there are fellas
who think both are lots of fun
but I’ll never be that one.

A deeper effect
is what lies beneath the skin
so it’s circumspect
when relationships begin
to examine what’s within

Examination
may lead to fascination
It's hard to hide it
when it becomes your diet
... and it's hard to keep quiet.

Quiet’s hard to keep
if you’re out there having fun.
Even when you sleep,
your subconscious knows which one
you must pick when you are done.

Fiords are like Lochs
without the monster inside;
made by ice and rocks.
We don’t have those things stateside
and Lox has cream cheese applied.

Pizzas are square meals
so why are most of them round?
Each topping appeals
to taste buds where they are found
but some of them will astound.

some toppings astound
but deep dish pizzas not round
seldom have ground round
I like ham and pineapple
while others prefer mushrooms

Mushrooms with the works
like olives and anchovies
with some other perks.
Don’t add the hot peppers please!
They just make me gag and wheeze.

Some disgusting jokes
depend on education.
It could be a hoax
if the imagination
can’t follow information.
