When Ray made his play
All pitfalls became
Notes of delight.

To defangle a tangle
you have to swing from a new angle.

You say right?

I...

Spot on.

Oh, I decided it didn't make any sense to keep
my best friend on a leash when I could use it instead
to keep my sheepish sweetie towing the line.

Ginny,

I just don't see

how that kind of far out thinking

can be a good channel for gauging the future.

Uh-oh.

I think I'm toast.

Oh, you lovely Coconut Cream Pie,

I'd give you my all for a sweet saunter by,

But it looks like Maxi

Must diddle her moochi

Before the sun falls far from the sky.

Dangerous Dame

A i i !!!

I dare you to plug me in!

Chink, clink, unraveling stink.

Time to go 'chuting out of here.

Uh, I think you've got it partly right.

Now take all that golly-G-force

and send it surging through

your love channels.

That were just the tide

Doing a noontime switcheroo

On my trajectory.

Shur, Brio, shur.

New Horizons Weather Report

This being the first day of school

we expect an overcast of mommy mist

clearing to a mighty high sigh by noon.

The best I can tell it's an elevator into deeper thinking.

I shook and shook and shook,

Finally seeing myself as a cover
Not reading my own book.

Breaking the Ice

And please get rid of my hot flashes.

They're wearing me down.

Zoot! Zing! Ping! Ping! Ping!

I can just jump over
Troubles that sting.

Uh oh.

I suspect that grandkid of ours

is about to blow beyond our experience.

Admiring the two lips.

Yip Yip Yippee!

I take what I catch from thee!

If I woof will you hear?

Progress Exploding in Cross Words

Cosmic

Claps and bops,

Tears and pops,

Upsets and angers,

Aggressive cantankers,

Condemnations, destructions,

Measureless repercussions.

Sans salvos and solutants, 

These global pollutants.

Bed Bug Bananza

Gran'pa! Gran'pa!
Have you heard the news!
We be movin' out soon
into the massive metropolis
of quality living and royal chomping.
Our guys have discovered a cure
for all those illnesses that
caught us off guard
back in the dark ages of DDT.
The planet is now, once again, our oyster.
We can go forth in nibbling freedom.
We are the juicy rulers of the world!

Izzat so?!?

April Fool!
There still be those neurotic wives
who search under mattresses
and hound the hosts
about nocturnal
snackers.

Shooo!
