Sleepy time rhyme - or not
It is time For the last nursery rhyme Before I lay down my head And characters come alive From the books that I’ve read. There’ll be the cat in the hat And Tom Sawyer The cat and the fiddle And maybe even a lawyer. I’ll travel to Key Largo To visit Dr. Zivago In Tinkerbell’s castle Flying to the...

Oh! What an internet web we weave.

Winter sculpture
The icicle hangs delicate as the lace curtain in the window. Frozen in time its time is short, shorter the longer it gets. The lens of the icicle turns the world around much as winter has transformed mere drops of water.

I thought I dreamt this when I was awake
When dreams hiss and slither intertwining, reality slips and melts dripping into the abyss. Frog headed birds swim through the ice cubes in this drink of life we are about to be drunk, by what we know not! Down now past the tongue turn left at the light look out! A train full of cats sails by...

When the medicine wears off, a re-run
And the room stops spinning The free-floating smiles Slink back into their bottles Then it’s time for reality To return, Durn! Miles from nowhere Or so it seems Suddenly life has become The stuff of dreams, Lost on a familiar road The train is bearing down My feet are boats My knees are weak And...

The other day as I was looking at my weenie in the mirror, I saw my weenie looking back at me, looking at my weenie in the mirror. And then I thought, “gee, my weenie seems teenie, looking at me looking in the mirror wondering if a teenie weenie is something to fear?” Then I was embarrassed,...

Buried in vinyl
The black disc glides Gently to the docking station The mother ship has returned And rotates at a stately 33 1/3rd rpm. The undocking arm moves into position The decoding of the message begins As the diamond tracks in the groove. Sounds fill the air Alarming, Soothing, Tempestuous “All we need is a...
