“Into the…”

Into the…

Into the bedroom, /

Cuddling, I took my snacks. /

No mask was required.

“Hey”

Hey

“Hey, would you buzz off?” /

One bee said to another. /

Flowering friendship.

“Control”

Control

I have lost control. /

My son, the basketball, swings /

freely in the park.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Days”

Days

Some days are lemon, /

some days are orange, other /

days are empty cans.

“No popcorn, no pets”

No popcorn, no pets

No popcorn, no pets,

No baseball, no regrets,

Rapture to heaven

Is no Seven / Eleven.

No Slushies, no Mars bars,

No pizza, no beer bars.

In heaven, the best

Beat their bloody chests

And sing hosanna

At the absence of fauna.

Nothing to make you sneeze

As you fall to your knees.

Fluffy’s on Earth

About to give birth

And if you want us to care,

Put your money there

On the web site line,

So Fluffy will be fine.

When to heaven you go

But your pets are a no-no,

We will watch them with love

While you’re in heaven above.

We atheists who remain

Or Hindus or Jaynes,

Or Jews or Buddhists

Or even the occasional nudist,

We will take care of your pets

So you’ll have no regrets,

No guilt on your soul,

Because you will know

Your Fuffy is fine

As long as your dimes shine.

“Good eats”

Good eats

Thanks for the big eats. /

I lick my face to finish. /

Better than a bird.

“The Tong Dynasty”

The Tong Dynasty

King Kong and Godzilla met in a kitchen. /

King Kong heard Godzilla wailin’ and bitchin’. /

“My toast! My toast! I can’t get it out. /

“My toast! My toast! It’s stuck in that snout. /

Every time I reach in sparks fly out. /

Angry it is!” He stomped round about. /

King Kong reached forth with bamboo tongs. /

They grabbed that toast like a pair of thongs. /

Godzilla thanked Kong and went on his way. /

Thus, civilization was saved that day.

“Gone”

Gone

Hot, he once was. /

Then, deliquesced, he was gone. /

Humid spot and cane.
