Why are you a rhymer?
Why always must you rhyme?
You write all right
But when you write
You're rhymin' all the time
When did you start rhymin'?

Well, when I was kid
though sounds absurd
I'd hear a word
and that's just what I did
Pinned
Venus asked of Neptune
why are you so blue?
dare not tell me, tell Mercury
she's innermost to you

I've given Saturn back his rings
he and I are through
found he and Mars parked in a car
celestial whoo hoo

I yelled, It's over, Knucklehead
then I slapped Mars and she turned red

remember us?
your #oddball neighbour
once #partner and true friend
left #heartbroken
and worried for you
the man is a lunatic
pure evil right through

My heart
Forever the oddball out
Sits at the edge
of its chair

I'm just your #standard #oddball
I blame the A.D.D
though my wit may be a #benefit
if you #partner up with me

and I have a sixth sense
I can usually read ya
don't stand still too long
or I'll probably feed ya

Around the corner from Loss & Regret
then over the tracks where indifference was set
you will see in the distance a standalone tree
in the hollow of sadness is where you'll find me

Clear your cluttered mind
breathe deep, need find the time

Pointless thoughts to be diffused
inhabit precious space
weary spirit, battered, bruised
forever on the chase

A clusterfuck of hows and why
requiring extraction
retain the truth, delete the lies
an editor in action

The remains of our union
lay shattered and ruined
down with that ship we both went

with passion long forced
we kicked that dead horse
pieces of ruin well spent

The tide of years leaves in it's wake
much sadness pain and loss
though as seasons turn
hard-earned we learn
that wisdoms grows no moss

Stay in my arms as Winter's wind chills us to the bone
Stay in my arms as Springtime blooms into it's flowery home
Stay in my arms as Summer's sun tans a golden hue
Stay in my arms neath Autumn's moon, my arms were made for you

Though I've long since lost touch
and with more than a few
of the women I used to be
still I owe them so much
learned lessons and such
much love, to them from me

Need thicken up that skin, me boy
translucent now it be
you'll need another inch or two
if you want to be with me

you'll need thicker skin too

No #benefit in lowering ur #standards
when choosing a #partner to wed
#historically u'll end up #heartbroken
the voice of experience has spoken
the #oddballs are fine
usually quirky & kind
make sure they're handy
loving & randy
not like any of mine

9 1/2 men's xwidth
#size 10 fits too #generous
my life's bane
my shoes were lame
I wore muck-a-luks to the prom
my skin is #glowing
but once I get goin'
folks stare at my feet
I #hold up at #home
w/ my high heel dreams
I love ur shoes, people scream

Off ya go
head held high
bootstraps up
eye to eye
dare to dream
hit and miss
you're so cute
gimmie kiss
make 'em laugh
hedge your bets
yes you can
up you get
seize the day
within means
penny-wise
eat your greens
lend a hand
pay your dues
#home sweet home
click your shoes

Being #clueless about stuff I should know
I tut each time I do it
walking a little too slow
and then sitting and just saying, screw it
watch as gravity takes a #hold
and your hair gets whiter each day
you're worried about that mole
you don't think it should look that way

Single is as single does
I only want a man because
I've searched for one both wide & far
to open stubborn pickle jars

and then my roof needs shingled too
oh what's a #clueless gal to do?
can't change a tire or read a map
gone bonkers from that leaky tap

Dodgy and Iffy walk into a bar
Sketchy was workin' that night

Says Sketchy to Iffy, Drink 'em up in a jiffy
cause Shifty is itchin' to fight

Dodgy says, No, we will not go
today is my birthday ya see

So pour Shifty a shot, the best shot ya got
and say it's from Iffy and me

Soft candles flicker
boho love drifting tonight
bare feet kiss the dawn

The echo of your footfall
the linger of your scent
your shadow down the long hall
don't know where the fuck you went

I went upstairs
what did I see?
my husband, naked as can be

satin sheets atop the bed
rose petals all astrewen

scented candles to light
a little Barry White

#Calm down it's only noon

Sammy had a stutter
and he had a twitchy eye
I told him, quit your blinkin'
the girls will think you're winkin'
he said, I'll tr..tr..try

Frankie was a fireman
it had it's highs and lows
but on our dates, if not too late
he'd let me hold his hose

#Consumed by #war
our planet's been
since the dawn of time

A once #fertile earth
lays #sparse of it's worth
pray #calm our worried minds

I am a friend indeed
when my name is called with love
I am a Mother Lion
prepared to pounce
at the merest sense
for mine
and for yours
I am a middle aged woman
arriving perhaps a little worse for wear
somewhere between #fertility and mortality
amid the changes there

#war rages on, we sit in #calm
