RAIN WARS
The Ominous Clouds Brigade advances,
accompanied by rapid-fire hail guerrillas,
in a coordinated attack.
Pedestrian columns
are caught in the crossfire –
casualties mount:
a $140.00 shampoo/permanent
suffers heavy damage –
fresh-from-the-cleaners suits
are also among the innocent victims.
General Douglas MacSunshine
confidently declares,
“Victory is at hand…
I shall return!”

SKELETON TALK
-Hello…
my name is Mickey Mouse –
perhaps you heard of me?
-What I’m about to reveal
pains me very much,
as it will cause pain to you,
no doubt… because, well, you see…
Mr. Disney was a mouse molester!
-I know, I know,
incredible, but true!
I’ve got it on tape…
listen to this excerpt:
-“…you, and me, and Minnie…
you know what I mean? a threesome?”
-I’m as shocked as you are,
but the truth must be told…
and to think I once was
the happiest mouse on earth!

Read Poem/CommentIMPROMPTU
Woke up this a.m. to a Schubert impromptu,
which promptly activated a muse-alert!
——————– – – – – – – – – – – –
-Melody! that’s nice,
mellow you might say…
may I guess at your ancestry?
-You’re the offspring
of a country sound
and a Spanish guitarra,
or as Massenet once exclaimed,
‘Why are you waking me up
so tenderly?’
