The Emperor was in town
It was time for a beheading
but no one was around
He surveyed the flower beds
He said “They are not bowing. Off
with their heads!”

It was unexpected but necessary.

Lady Lily Pifflesqueek went for a walk
she needed to find
her Auntie Birdseed to talk
about the thoughts she had been having
as they sat side by side
hand in hand
on the Beach
with their toes in the Sand

“Do you know at night
When I am there on Beach
I like to listen to roar of the
waves as their sounds fill the my ears
I want to take them home as get
ready to go to bed.
I want to hear them
as I am sleeping
in my head.”

“Can you do that for me Auntie?
Can you send those sounds to me? ”

Miss Auntie Birdseed thought for a while
for a answer
deep in thought
“I think, perhaps, my dear Lady Lily Pifflesqueek,
the truth be told that I will try my best to catch them
for you but some of sounds are just bolder and  bigger than the air and might not
fit into the package I would send to where you live, over there.”

Perhaps the wings of your imagination will have to put those nighttime
sounds in your ears.

But thank you for asking me, Lady Pifflesqueek, my dear.

Morbid Curiosity
just got the upper hand
Adherence to the “mind your own business” rule
has been violated
By me
Was sticking my little nose where
it don’t belong
Oh it was just morbid curiosity
What could be the harm
Not likely I was going to share it
Or let it go too far astray

But like I said I was just a little curious

And you can ignore me

More than likely
After a bit of time
I will go away.

I always wear my High Tops
with my Classic Black Dress
So if I have to run
I can keep up with the rest

in Style

Squishing
all the bugs
has always been
my philosophy
Better that I
get to them
Than them
get to me.

I love you forwards and backwards
I love you upside down
I love you when you are here
And when you are not around
I love it when you knock and
then all come bursting through the door
All the hugs and kisses
when you say good bye
until we meet again
and we will be wanting more
then we go upstairs
and survey all the mess
decide it can wait til the morning
and go lie down and take a rest
knowing the time we spend together
really is the best

Ashwin and Frank were talking
about ways to get suddenly and
surprisingly rich.
But they only way they could think of was
to rob a bank
Ashwin was sure because they were so incongruous
I mean he was just a man and Frank,
well Frank was just a……..we can’t say what Frank
is because it would a dead giveaway in the getaway
I mean he has such a clever disguise it would be a shame
to get in the way of their meteorite rise to riches and their very clever plan.
It seemed it was a wonderful plan until they tried to come to a resolution
about who was going to hold the bag for the money and who was going to
hold and shoot the gun (I mean just if it was necessary to further emphasize that they were serious and all)
Frank refused to do either.
For after all he was just a dog and had no arms and hands
And certainly no thumbs.

I have feathers in my bedroom
Someone must have just
dropped in.
So I am looking here and there.
On second thought maybe
it was just the wind

Vladmir came home
from work one day
and said ” I think I have the flu”
His wife said “Are you sure?”
“Maybe you have the Bulbonic Plague
or even Mayflower Pilgrims Scurvy too.”
He replied with a bit of increasing delirium
“You know I think that is Genetic, so seeing as
I am a Vladmir, I don’t think I do.”
“The Bulbonic Plague is quite Middle Ages impossible
And every morning I eat buttered toast and garlic with a cup of tea and lemon
so that makes the  thought of Mayflower Pilgrims Scurvy pretty remote too”
No, I think I will go lie down and not wake up dead with Dracularian flies
flying around my head because all I think I have is the flu.”
So keeping his mouth shut he went to bed
And nothing more was said
Because all he had was the flu.

Lefty the left-footed centipede
left the left foot store
he had so many shoes
he could not buy anymore

And those are my thoughts
on centipedes.

Thank for thinking that perhaps
this might be any deeper than deep
Because it just isn’t
