please eat some refuse
you cooked with Cajun spices?
not in the habit!
if so, would I be a nun?
they would be none too happy!

Nun would be happy
to dine on some Cajun fare.
The Pope, her pappy,
might frown on her pleasure there.
After each bite… say a prayer.

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

CT scan schedules
will be difficult to do
because of my rules;
I hate tunnel vision’s view
and refuse to breathe on cue.

I just break the rack

hopefully into pockets

Hope filled the pocket
with a big stimulus check.
Nice, so don’t knock it
but now there isn’t a speck
and economy’s a wreck.

Handouts we pay for
from the taxes collected
should be on a par
with work that is expected
or else, they’ll be rejected.

Origins of rules
should stay forefront on our mind.
They will be the tools
to get folks off their behind
and work. Justice must stay blind.

Decisions are woke
when the laws do not apply.
Real justice will choke
when lies are the alibi
approved by the FBI.

was a use-to-be;
when the FBI goons broke

Where else will he show
when he puts in his two cents?
He wants us to know
that he will spare no expense
while bringing back good sense.

Along all her clothes
was the strong scent of a skunk
which bothered her nose.
Tomato juice she’d debunk
because everything still stunk.

Buy all that she can
of Poof spray but I will bet
that term for a man
has not been forgotten yet.
A derisive sobriquet!
