A Scroll Threw Life

My unreasonable expectations have often led me down the path of irrational exuberance.

    covers your hare pie

    A hook closed the book

    Eating mulberries 

    Nap on the cool soft park grass

    Simple joys of youth

    Jog my memory






  • Passion

     

    Passion for fashion

    With all those palettes clashing

    Never been my style

    Not sayin’ I’m dull or nuthin’

    But gray’s my color druthers

    Out on the corner 

    Arm outstretched with my palm up

    Need some spare night change

    To dig myself out

    Found a wet cement pillar 

    At sun baked streets end

    City park bubbler welcome 

    At last a cooling swallow 







  • Plunge

     

    I’m over my head

    Taken the plunge and let go

    Awash in living

    Gusty branches groan 

    Willows sway and start to bud

    Coaxed into new life

    Claim they can fix it

    But that’s because they broke it

    Conservative scams

    public spewed phooey

    in a dense fog of hooey
    head swine oinks “Sooey!”





  • Attach

     

    Build your own meaning

    Attach it to what you will
    Make sure it’s secure





  • Mortar

     

    grinding decency

    to a pulp in our mortar
    with heinous pestle






  • Cabinet

     

    Cabinet tchotchkes

    Emporium of the dim

    Displayed for the world

    Unctuous eunuchs submit 

    Kneel and bob in unison
