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...

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.

Hello?
Hello?
Hello?!!
Well, phoof, Maxi!
Here I am hoping for cheery oh's
and all I'm getting are
flat out blank looks.

Sibling Rivalry



My aim is better!

No, my aim is better!

My aim is best!

No, my aim is best!

I'm the straightest shooter!

No, I'm the straightest shooter!

I care the most!

Well, if you really believe in yourself,
I'll believe in you, too.
Go for it!
(Swiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifff-thunk!)

Not bad.
Not bad at-all.
Almost dead center.

Told you so.
I am the best!
And now, I'm outa here!
(Zip! Gone!)

Hmmm.
((Swiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifff-thunk!)

The Skeptic Views the Psychic



Ginny,
I just don't see
how that kind of far out thinking
can be a good channel for gauging the future.


Saturday, April 19, 2014



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.

Chink, clink, unraveling stink.
Time to go 'chuting out of here.


Wednesday, April 16, 2014



Uh, I think you've got it partly right.
Now take all that golly-G-force
and send it surging through
your love channels.
The natural high
should give
you lift
off.

Cool!

Hey, Brio, why you make it so hard?

Eh? This ain't hard.
This be child's play.
I'm rockin' with the tide.
(ugh!)
(Aaa!)
(Splash-a-gacken-snort!)
Err-ahh-err...
No, that weren't my fault.
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.


Sunday, April 13, 2014



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


Saturday, April 12, 2014



I shook and shook and shook,
Finally seeing myself as a cover
Not reading my own book.

Expert Skipper



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.

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!
