Googling
You can Google yourself
All day and all night
You can Google yourself
And no one will mind
You can Google your brains out
That too is all right…
But if you Google tooo much…
You just might go blind

Before The Buildings Fell
“Those are people”
Gasped the woman at my side
“No, surely not”
I confidently replied
“Look! Their arms and hands clawing”
Then I too saw them slowly falling
I was wrong and sadly
She was right

Poetry...McDonalds...and me
A goodly part
Of my poetic production
Is conceived over coffee
At my local McDonalds
So if you think some are good…
Then those are mine…
And the one’s that are stinko….
Well… those are Ronald’s

Kaleidoscope
Let your life be seen,
To be endowed with trust
Look hard at your life
Peer deeply into one’s self
For tis’ only a kaleidoscope
filled with stardust
Viewed by God …
When he wants to amuse himself

Wonder of weird things
I wonder about weird things…
My mind flits and fidgets
I wonder about genuises…
Pickles and idiots
I ponder of things
Like God, heaven, and widgets…
And do Crowded elevators
smell different to midgets?

Say what?
An ol’ buddy proudly showed me
his new hearing aid
And advised me to invest in
some of the company’s stock
Interested, I asked
“what kind is it? ”
He replied
“it’s almost eight o’clock! ”

Life...And Stardust
Like all travel,
passage through life
is only a voyage
to somewhere else
And unlike stardust
This passage will end
But the voyage of life…
like stardust itself
Lasts forever and ever
…after and ever after

My Wife, My Treasure
My wife, my treasure
My enduring font of pleasure
Has many virtues that I admire
Many facets of which I’ll never tire
But the attribute which I hold most dear
Is how she grows more attractive after every beer

Sunset
Wan shades
of carmine and carnelian
Dying in a sunset’s
languid demise
The flame of pink,
the smoke of lavender
Grudgingly giving rise…to
Final feeble glowing light
of velvety purple
Then to Ebon soot of night

5 second Ode To Steve (My rubber chicken)
When I’m feelin’ low
And my spirits are sickened
When my energy’s sapped
And bad vibes have quickened
When I need a jump start
For happiness to kick in
I simply go to my happy place
With Steve, my rubber chicken
