Traveling in Foreign Country



Darn it now, Sam!
I can't tell worth hills and he's.
Which do you suppose
are the local natives?

Suspicious Circumstances on the Home Front



And where did this outlandish idea come from, Billy Bob?!
Are you cheating on me with some flighty-minded air brain?
Because you don't have it in you
to come up with this far-out type of thinking.

Aw, Nell, it's just a dream I had last night.
Think nothing of it.

You bet I won't.

(Phew!)

Hoooo-eeeeee!
Those guys either have a lot of hang ups,
or they're on a really wild ride!


Thursday, March 27, 2014



Oh, this mighty carriage conundrum!
Should I ride this sweet love bug
or that manly bit of horse power?

Metal Detector Rain Hat



Ping! Ping! Ping!
I've got this tin treasure.
Want to share it with me?
It's not very flashy
but will ring in the spring
when served al fresco
amidst rain drops and
golden bejewelled
butterfly wings.

Fishergirl Talk



I really don't mind going fishing with Dad.
What creeps me out are the kisses that pop up
on the faces of the fish that we catch.

The Sunny Side Upstart



Ain't life grand!
Tra la tra la tra la!

Now Bertie, you stay away from that girl.
She'll only lead you astray with all that
fool fluff and theatrical romanticisms.

Me an' Marilyn... we loves these warm updrafts.
Tickles the feathers.

Marsh Daddy and His Mini-mellows Take a Walk



Come on, hold hands.
We're crossing the street.
Make sure to smile
to all who we meet.
Whether they're road blocks
or slippery elms
they all have a soft spot
sugar overwhelms.

Oh!
Sunken
Treasure!
Right there.
Alone and waiting.
Buried in the dust.
Hmm.
Should I...
Chase it down?
Or is it better to just watch it,
Not touch it, or polish it, or hatch it free...
Just leave it there,
Forever intriguing me.

The Hunting Lesson



Now then, when you're doing the Hunter's Heel you have a couple
of important choices to make involving the trajectory of your body
as you move in relationship to the bodies that surround you.
If you move too fast your companion will start sniffing your butt,
and you know how that feels. You want to be the butt sniffer.
But if you drop behind to do the sniffin' than your companion
pushes on ahead and cops the squirrel before you do.
So it's all about balance. Get yourself right in there doing the
side by side sweet pitter patter soft shoe. Before you know it you'll
both be sniffin' butt and chompin' squirrel.

Meeting With the Beast



Got it made!
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Get out o' my way, Timid Tangent!

Glad to, Billy Blisterball!

Ruff! Ruff! Ruff! Arrrrooooo!

Yes, you got the right-o'-way, BB.
Keep right on with yer pretty perturbations
and I'll jist do a simple roadside swing-out here,
traverse along this sideline,
loop back betwixt and between,
and meet you from behind,
my twitchy fingers settling for a long slow Billy blow.

What say you? Hey? Huh?

Whack!

Rough! Rough! Rough! Are yoooooooo!

Phoenix Forecasting a Fall





Well, skibbling nibblets
of liberty giblets!
There's food scraps a'flying
And old bankers crying.
Big brutes are moaning
And hard women groaning.
Succor is falling
Health care appalling.
So tinder me entralls
and toss in hot tea
I'll soon be here sipping
transcendentally.

Belle's Bounty



Belly up to a butter squat, sweets.
It's time you expanded your horizons.


Friday, March 7, 2014



Jiminy cricket, Jason!
You just found that secret ingredient
I've been looking for my whole life!
The luck of the young, it's a mind blower.

Sales Pitch for the Deflated



Psst. You there...!
Forget the quick-fix lordly leaping.
You'll bounce back to earth, defeated, all too quickly.
I have a better method.
Muffle the outer world.
Spritz on l'essence d'esprit.
Suck in a load of malarky as light as a feather.
Grin a knowing/gnashing smile in the face of prickly fears.
Fill your innards with big, deep breaths of hot, sweet smellin' aire.
And take a trusting step off into the future.
You'll be floating before you know it.
