All they'd have to do

If You Go ...

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

If you go to
a fortune teller,
I wish you 
the best of luck
 
But
 if you go to
Seven/Eleven
and 
buy a lottery ticket,
you save a lot of time 
and money
 _
If you go to
church/temple/synagogue
and pray for 
a deceased parent,
you are a perfectly 
normal person
and I am jealous
 _
However,
if you have a seance 
with a psychic
or seer
to get in touch 
with
a deceased parent, 
you have my pity
because you would
have the same 
 success rate
as stopping a stranger
on the street 
  and asking for  
   the whereabouts of
     mommy or daddy   
 ::
 
  But 
if you lock yourself
    in a room with a picture
   of that deceased parent
and meditate  on it 
   for hours
...
  
 BINGO
 
Because
that image goes straight
to your soul,
where it has been
for as long as needed
to find it
 
Your soul,
your innermost feelings,
and your heart 
are all you need
to high-five
anyone
who has said
goodbye
to their earthly coil

I Was Her Twenty-Per-Cent Man

With a backstage pass

Salacious Sally

With a front-row seat

at this dog show
she was

All around us
was the rabble
 
We went home
and played
Scrabble

She had 
four-letter words
all over the board
but I cleared my rack

How Did You Meet Her?

________________________________________________________________________________________________

We met
when she sat
on my lap

It gave my heart a tap
when she shook her booty
and I called her
Cutie
 
She gave me her number:
#49
 
When she had
gotten through
the first forty-eight,
she was tired of living
 
We've been together
ever since
and I've never
been happier
 
But she has never been

Bottom Feeders' Holiday

Bottom feeders look down
from the top
of the mountain
with delight
dancing with

at midnight

Top feeders look up
rattling a tin cup
with sorrow
but the cup
will be gold
tomorrow

Somewhere
a dog is barking

Elimination ... A Poem By Frances Steerling

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

We would not have
the rich
if there were not
so many 
poor people
 
If we eliminate
the poor people
then there will be
no rich people
 
And we will all be
middle-class
 
We will all be
in the middle
and then
we will all
die of boredom

Chess Solitaire On A Park Bench

________________________________________________________________________________________________                                                                                    
 
His fingers were playing
chess with his toes
 
When he made a good move
he wiggled his nose
 
When he made a bad move
he tore his clothes
 
He stood up
and declared victory
 but he forgot
who won
