 Pillow Talk

It was quite the shock of my life

To hear, while I was on a trip,

An affair was had by my wife.

Was this gossip by a loose lip?

My wife first denied this of course,

When confronted by me on this.

But no reason to lie, this source,

Long privy to our wedded bliss.

She admitted cheating at last,

And wondered who had snitched on her.

Such infidelity has cast

A double shock on me for sure.

And why for me a double shock?

Who knew that my pillow could talk!

 Trots from Hots

Two stacks of pancakes, freshly fried,

Their misery wants comfort, so

Tell how great it was, as they lied

To the remaining pancake dough.

But the dough sees some eggs fry in

The skillet, and all the eggs yell

They were misled to their chagrin,

And this hot skillet hurts like hell.

Thus, the dough, now misgivings had,

"No," to the pancakes stacks does say,

Which of course makes the stacks quite mad,

As remaining dough runs away.

The pancake dough has faster legs,

Escapes the skillet of fried eggs.

 As Nature Pens

Nature as a poetess is

Using her trees, now seasoned for

Good subjects, her creative biz

To become well versed to add more

On limbs and branches, winter bare,

To be a budding source for new

Poetic greenery to share.

So nature with her pen does do

A reimplanting from her mind,

Creating fresh ideas to sprout

Forth upon all her trees, designed

To be a welcome work, no doubt.

As nature pens in a fresh rhyme,

Leaves on her trees in new springtime.

 Final Battle

As more and more, mankind moved toward

The worship of evil from hell,

At last God sent her with her sword

To cleanse all earth and make it well.

So from heaven, descended she,

Sword drawn and taking up the fight

To bring upon earth finally,

Absolute truth of heaven's might.

At last the righteous spirit would

Take on the wrongs the devil had

Instilled in man, now woman's good

On Judgement Day, replaced man's bad.

Archangel Jophiel to find

And destroy evil of mankind.

 God Still Holds Hope

The Bible says that on God's mind

His love and glory meant to share,

So God created humankind,

And hopes for the best with His care.

But we humans so often take

The wrong path in the lives we live.

So does God think us a mistake?

We only know, God does forgive,

And in forgiving, lets us know

He believes that humankind can

Still repent all our sins, to show

Achieved purpose in God's time span.

God still holds hope that humankind will

Find His love and glory to fulfill.

 Door in the Woods

Family and I camping out,

In the woods on a nice spring day.

By myself, I'm walking about,

And find a door in the pathway.

A lovely door that looks quite new.

Why in the world is it out here?

I near it, not sure what to do.

In my mind some weird thoughts appear.

Supernatural? U.F.O.?

Does this door stand for best or worst?

I hear familiar sounds I know,

Wishing me happy April first.

Family's giggling at me, who'll

Be teased by them, an April fool.

 Hunger Game

Not yet dawn, I am on the lake,

An early fishing start to get.

But breakfast I forgot to take.

Not a single fish caught as yet.

So in my boat under moonlight,

My tummy in a rumbling growl,

Missing my breakfast, such a plight.

"Oh, why me!" to the moon I howl.

Search, but nary any food be.

Hallucinations do begin,

As my hunger takes over me.

Make believe, I find myself in.

Pancake moon in a skillet sky,

With star sparks from the battered fry.

 Hot Dot Wrought

After few drinks at home, high noon,

Went to my window, dropped my drawers,

And to outside world did my moon,

Along with my giggle uproar.

Stayed put, and continued to drink.

Felt the hot sun on my bare skin,

Not giving any thought to think

Of consequences of my sin.

Then I felt sharp pain suddenly,

And looked behind, quite horrified,

Saw and smelled smoke coming from me.

Through the glass, the sun magnified.

A single black dot had begun,

Turned into a case of "arsesun."

 Kleptocracy Rules!

Kleptocracy is government

Whose corrupt leaders lie and steal

From the people, and represent 

Every nation with such a deal.

It matters not, called left or right,

Just a mask that the elites wear,

While all use their money and might,

Enrich themselves, and never care

About the people, cuz they know

People are so easily fooled,

Shift around elite status quo,

Keep dumbing down, being so ruled.

Elites continue robbing blind

All of the common humankind.

 The Kiss Shared 'Round the World

"All in the Family," the one

When Sammy Davis, Jr. came

To pick up his briefcase, in fun,

At the episode end, did aim

And plant a kiss on Archie's cheek.

The audience laughter did go

On and on in a record streak,

The longest for a T.V. show.

All in my family, we too

Enjoyed such in this time and place,

A moment sharing, pure and true,

There is hope for the human race.

Last T.V. episode watched by

My Grandma and my Mom and I.

Louie, Louie, to me you said,

"Baby from you I gotta go."

You could not stay with me, instead

Became for me a shipped off beau.

Louie, Louie, you sailed some ship

Across the sea to sail some dream,

Left me alone as you did skip

Off to pursue your fortune scheme.

Louie, Louie, back from you roam,

Back to me, when you were the one

Took off from our Jamaica home,

Now expect me to you to run.

So Larry, Larry, now with me.

 Tead Off

The Mad Hatter and Alice be

At a party in Wonderland.

The two of them were sipping tea.

Gotcha Alice, Mad Hatter planned,

Chit chatting with her in a way

That would be offensive for sure,

A game Mad Hatter loved to play,

Played with Alice to perturb her,

Which sure enough, Mad Hatter did,

Poking fun at Alice in rhyme.

And the more Mad Hatter would kid,

The more Alice had a mad time.

It was fun time Mad Hatter had,

Rude to Alice till she left mad.

 Morning Mourning

Every morning at breakfast, I'm

Reading the newspaper so that,

I've told my wife, the only time

Before leaving our habitat

To go to work when I must be

Upon all current events, well.

My boss relies on this from me.

It took a while for me to sell

This excuse to my wife, so I

Could avoid the chit chat with her.

My wife, skeptical, I guess why

She felt need to jolt me for sure.

The shockingest read of my life,

My obit posted by my wife!

 Hair Raisin' Ride

Too much junk food, so he was told

He needed exercise some more.

So sprayed me lots to help me hold,

And off ridin' a bike we tore.

Offered a helmet, he said no.

The squad assigned would protect him.

Through all the red lights we did go.

He would not stop, once on a whim.

With all the spray on me I got

Hit with a lot of flyin' stuff,

Especially the bugs a lot.

This ride could not quit fast enough.

I'd disappeared by the ride's end,

The famed Trump hair, gone with the wind.

 My Lie Told Me

"Not my Jesus," I said when young,

But my Jesus still stayed within,

Did not depart with my harsh tongue,

Did not depart when I did sin.

"Not my Jesus," when death I tried,

But my Jesus from me saved me,

As I recovered, stayed inside

Myself to help to better be.

"Not my Jesus," a lie I told

Myself, but then His truth I found,

And stayed with me as I grew old,

Now to my Jesus, ever bound.

"Not my Jesus," I now say not.

"My Jesus," I now feel a lot.

I need read a book all alone.

Being grounded by Mom and Dad,

The worst punishment I have known.

I'm sitting by a window for

Good light enough for reading chore,

Which really has me quite upset.

I have to read the book complete,

Cuz Mom and Dad will test me on

The book's contents, so I can't cheat.

All I can do is read and yawn.

Read a book is harder for me,

Than use my phone and watch T.V.

Addictive personality,

Bad habits, I've a bunch of them.

And for too long a time I be

Causing myself lots of mayhem.

But I was lucky, cuz I found

Help for baddest addictions, I

Abuse of substance, gambling and

Sex lust, I'm recovering, though

Never be cured, I understand,

Addictions still real, not a dream,

Almost noon time, sirens I hear.

From my desk to window I go.

Police and ambulance appear.

I watch sixteen stories below,

Outside Howard train station is

A body lying on the ground,

Authorities doing their biz,

I'm guessing, to the morgue be bound.

A very busy time and place,

With lots of people walking by.

Nothing surprising with this case,

Certainly not surprised am I.

In time and place, I've seen before,

 U.S. Citizenship Fire Sale

Yes, the U.S. Supreme Court will

Let birthright citizenship stand.

At least five justices won't nil

What long has been law of the land.

Of course depends on point of view.

Very high status, prized and true.

Heading, is playing to the aim

Of what's hoped for by China biz,

Soon, winning player in the game.

 Shape of Earth

The Bible says God shaped the Earth

As a "sphere" in the heavens with

Land and water and air with worth

For life. Humans made up the myth

Of a flat Earth, but did evolve

To prove the Earth's real shape was round.

Took a while, this puzzle to solve.

Many wondered how be Earthbound

On a round ball and not roll off.

A lot of disbelief there be.

And of course, humans did scoff

When first told about gravity.

If God be asked what shape's Earth in?

Still a round ball, but filled with sin.

 Weed Be Blessed

God created the plant called weed

By created folks who'd engage

In smoking the stuff, and indeed,

Kept continuing the stoned age.

But God was not upset by this.

Folks used other stuff God had made

To cause harm, whereas weed caused bliss,

Even though was illegal trade,

And in most countries was outlawed.

But since weed was not deemed a sin,

This did make little sense to God.

More weed acceptance did begin.

Folks legalized weed, by and by,

God found prophets at all time high.

The king turned and began shouting,

"Jester, you are a sicko nut."

The king ordered the jester be

Beheaded in the public square,

For royal assault and battery.

He shouted jokes out to the crowd,

And to the king with his last breath

Told final joke so bad and loud.

Last punchline from the guillotine,

"I really meant to pinch the queen!"

Asked for my hand in marriage, but

And had done this before for me.

Alas, my hand would not attack

No stopping communism then.

Doing duty, lives on the line,

Never sure of hazards they face,

No matter danger of the call.

Sometimes successful, sometimes not.

But forever be all for one,

All ones in harm be not forgot.

A bond forever vowed to bind,

 Word, "Persnickety," of Scottish Origin

His wife just dead, and so the Scot,

Quite fussy on money be spent,

A cheapest death notice he sought

From the local newspaper sent.

When the Scot first wrote out, "Wife dead,"

Was told by the newspaper clerk,

Cheapest charge had a six word spread.

The Scot pondered what best would work.

"Wife dead," two words he thought should stay.

What four other words to detail?

So the Scot added on to say

Four more words, "Hair curlers for sale."

Always lookout for bargain be,

The Scot is quite "purse"nickety.
