When I was a tot
I brought my Mom a present,
A green garter snake.
She preferred that gift a lot
To the son-in-law she got!

White daisy petals
He loves me, he loves me not
One by one they fall.
Yesterday, I trusted him,
This morning , she called again.

His smile lights a flame
In millions of women's hearts,
Brad Pitt is a dream.
A real man is what I wed,
His wide grin greets me in bed!

Showering through stained glass,
Pools of purest colors
Spectrums of holy light
Fall on wrinkled faces
Upturned in deepest faith.

Old ones at the altar,
Bones, hearts, souls seeking heat,

Yellow buttercup,
A goblet of captured sun,
Held beneath his chin.
Do you like butter, darling?
His laugh releases the sun.

Balled up paper towels
End up in his bureau drawers,
My mate leaves them there.
If I yell and have a fit,
Guess who sees a therapist?

Is music the soul of poetry
Or is poetry music's soul?
Which tugs more at the heart strings,
The music or the poems?

Both are potent tools
To stir the human heart,
Words firing inwards

Pink tinted mountains
Peek in my bedroom window
And watch me crying
I long for pine covered hills
And the deep snowfalls of home.

I still clap for Tinkerbell.
Golden fairy dust
Clings to me like a silk gown.

I soar aloft on swift wings.
With closed eyes, I glimpse
What seems a painted picture.

Once I saw a bird
Singing "George of the Jungle".
It was so funny!
But while it swooped through the air,
That darn bird pooped in my hair!

An ape got so mad,
He cracked his cage's window
With one mighty blow.
A small child cowered in fear,
Defenseless against such rage.

We choose a day in springtime,
The season of life reborn,
To celebrate our mothers.

How can we ever repay,
This person like no other,
Who loves us so selflessly?

Tantalizing memories
Unforgotten caresses,
Unspoken words

Thrusting agony
Orgasms of pain,
Spasming in empty places

Exquisite torture
In the bed rejected
By the torturer

a companion piece to "the rhino diet"
for all my friends, even Ryan

belly sticking out,
he scratches it with pleasure,
the big gorilla
happy after a big meal,

do hippos count cals?
is there a rhino diet?
do cows exercise?
i weigh myself and worry,
have i gained a pound today?
