I call them swishers
the joggers in ponytails
as they run by me.
Silly Verse
Order
To my married friends…
Dear friend,
I know when we get together
there is no holding back
we can talk forever.
The Queen’s Visit
“The Queen is coming,
she is coming here!
Get ready. Be prepared,”
the townspeople did cheer.
And come she did.
The Queen did come.
The Odd Couple

It’s an odd pair
the playful pup
that spends time
with the tiger cub.
Be My Superman
Honey, we’ve been together so very long,
is it time to be moving on?
But wait, why can’t we still stay together?
After all, we still love each other.
We’ve hit troubled waters, can’t you see?
Why can’t we just love each other like they do on TV?
I’ll be your Lois if you be my Superman.
I’ll be your Terry if you be my Nickie.
I’ll be your Mimi if you be my Guy.
I’ll be your Nora if you be my Nick.
Maybe we can start all over,
as long as we’re together.
We’ll take it like they in the movies,
no matter what happens, we’ll be happy.
As long as we don’t break into reality,
we can do it like they do it on TV.
I’ll be your Lois if you be my Superman.
I’ll be your Terry if you be my Nickie.
I’ll be your Mimi if you be my Guy.
I’ll be your Nora if you be my Nick.
Those wouldn’t be good enough for me,
I want to go for all the glory.
I’ll be your Lombard if you be my Gable.
I’ll be your BaCall if you be my Bogart.
I’ll be your Allen if you be my Burns.
I’ll be your Evans if you be my Rogers.

A Hyena in Wolf’s Clothing
Did I ever tell you
about a meeting I went to?
From the moment I walked in
I felt uncomfortable through and through.
Because I walked right in
to a big ol’ wolves’ den
but wait – they weren’t wolves
when I looked closer and again.
They were actually hyenas
each decked out in wolf’s clothing
and I walked right in
without even knowing.
And that first howl
I heard caused chills up my spine
because they were just
about to feed and to dine.
Now bear with me here
and try to take heart
while I disclose their secret –
the most chilling part.
You see, they don’t eat flesh
but enjoy tearing apart a soul
picking, ripping, and rending
seems to be their goal.
As soon as I left
I’m sure I was treated the same
my guess is they fed
and feasted on my good name.
So beware, beware
of any hyena in wolf’s clothing.
Ya-owwwww ha, ha, ha,
those beasts are filled with loathing.
Ya-owwwww ha, ha, ha,
that peculiar howl you’ll find
will send a tingling chill
straight up your spine.

Labor Day Project
I had the best intention
with a spurt of ambition
and just enough motivation
it was a good plan
(a good, good plan)
See, I got to thinking
it is time for spring cleaning
since summer is ending
as quick as it can
(quicker than I can)
So I spent Labor Day
slaving and toiling away
with no time to play
I took out that mess
(I moved that mess)
from the corners to the middle of the room
but morning became noon
and the day left too soon
and now I must confess
(of this I confess)
The mess is still there
in the middle without care
and I have to share
with this huge pile
(an unattractive pile)
My intention is non
my ambition long gone
my motivation sang its swan song
while the mess sits awhile
(a long, long while)

Mrs. Pooh Bear
(for Bubba)
She can’t say
if it was love at first sight
but she will say
she fell in love with him alright.
She did insist –
with his red shirt down to there
who could resist
that yellow fluff-stuffed bear?
“I want to marry him,”
she told daddy her plan.
“You can’t marry him,
because he is an old man.
He is an old man,”
that was daddy’s firm stance,
“An old, old man
who doesn’t wear pants!
I can’t allow it.”
Daddy’s words made her blue.
But she had to accept it –
she’d never marry Winnie the Pooh.
