Bakery

There once was a baker who loved to boast
about his bakery down by the coast.
But the bakery burned down
and he exclaimed with a frown,
Now all of my business is toast!

It Is About The Title

Many poems are about the titles
Not the contents
Many books are about the titles
Not common sense
Many stars are about the names
Not the distance
Many actors about the names
Not the actions
Nonsense sails
And common sense rarely prevails
Color does not matter all the time
In many situations, it can be characterize
As a major sin or a colossal crime
Of enormous proportion or incredible size
It is the darn title
Giselle and Lionel.

Everybody Makes Bobies

Everybody makes boobies,
Put our big feet in it,
Just some clumsy footwork
And we find ourselves in a pit.

Everybody makes boobies,
Everybody makes mistakes,
When shooting our life’s film,
There is bound to be out-takes.

Icarus, Revisited

In a house, half-mad, with mother and dad,
And a labyrinth he couldn’t escape -  
He trudged the maze, with a string ball, so sad.
The sky’s warm, gay orb, too, was round in shape.  
So pretty was she, he dreamt as he marched,
And he constructed a bright plan in his head,
Sweating through shirts which his mother had starched,
He remembered what his father had said.
He would see his girl (the sun in the sky),
Augmenting his arms with two waxen wings.   
A catapult shot him o’er clouds so high.
He burned, melted, crashed, his arms then in slings.  

Dad said, “too close”, but his expounding lacks -
It was - his wings were inferior wax.

A Surreality Dream

I had a dream, it was obscene Read on if you dare I was at a masquerade ball And all there were bare. Except for wearing masks of course No one cared at all Just got on with naked dancing Bouncing round the hall. The funny part was when they parked Backsides on a pew When they came to stand up again The seat stood up too. There was lots of piercing screaming As seats were parted And some very red rosy cheeks On vision as folk partied. At midnight came the final dance The dream came to its close I switched on the light, got such a fright The floor was strewn with clothes.

Too Stoned to Care, circa 1969


   Too stoned to care
     wild eyes and hair
   My friend and I dare
     to order four pizzas

   Where are your friends
     the manager inquired
   Oh, they’ll be here in a bit
     our tongues purebred liars  

   Well, we snarfed down the pizzas
     though ‘our friends’ never showed
   So, when we asked the proprietor
     how much we owed… 

   He told us $200 bucks
     ‘coz it’s just your good luck
   to meet up with a fellow sleaze
     who understands your ‘munchies’
       ~ and has already contacted the fuzz

Suit and Tie



Flackmoth says he wouldn’t be
caught dead in a suit and tie;
but then ruefully reflects he 
likely will – unless he doesn’t die.
Either way, with or without, 
he still will have to be laid out –
and if stripped of every thread of clothes
and stark naked, please, keep the coffin closed.

Teeth and Ears



Flackmoth chuckles when he hears
chickens have neither teeth nor ears.
Nothing strange about that, he said?
“I’m nearly deaf now and in a few years
I expect no tooth left in my head.
Deaf and toothless chickens will still push
eggs, if they’re lucky, through their tush
whereas mine will only provide an outlet 
for the same old crap, forget an omelette!

Asking My Age

Someone asked my age
I said, "I'm still quite young".
They call me, "Baby".

Dan's Favorite Birds - 8 of 10 - Monk Parakeet

Dan's Favorite Birds - 6 of 10 - Greylag Goose

You may know the greylag from a Mother Goose Rhyme. This sort of goose lays 3 to 5 eggs at a time. If clutch size distribution is uniform, I'm Pretty sure the egg number will likely be prime.

Dan's Favorite Birds - 4 of 10 - Baltimore Oriole

The Baltimore oriole sports an orange coat, But I haven't seen one; to L.A., they're remote. Their rich whistling song is a sweet herald of spring. Ones like Frank Robinson have a great home run swing.

Dan's Favorite Birds - 3 of 10 - Black-throated Blue Warbler

The black-throated blue warbler is wee and cute, But to a caterpillar he is a brute. With a sweet melody, he attracts his mate, And they eat spiders when they go on a date.

A red-tailed hawk soars in an azure sky, Majestically gliding - oh so high! Is it any wonder he inspires such awe In those who study education and law?

Ballad for the Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube-Man

air rockets skyward
uppercutting inside
plastic neon flesh
contorting at inhuman angles
what does my body language spell?

ankles anchored into the Earth
to stay grounded as the wave
of time and space crashes
a flood of stagnant flux

there is a symphony of bones
snapping and cracking
in twisted orchestrations
the act of existing for me
is a resilient demonstration

In Betweens

There must be always
Room for wild and free humor
Laughing at ourselves...

We do cry enough
Trying to better ourselves
In this journeying

Living together
This magnificent planet
Manifesting dreams

Beyond what we know
All, curious, within dreams
Searching for what's real.

So the days do pass
Perhaps Nature too, learning...
Higher Self-being.

____*____

Find comfort in this
Skirting Chaos like we do...
Better than Nothing.

Then, the Good Old Days

Then, the Good Old Days
Better than what’s now, always
This law, all obeys

When, in good times past
Bygones better, Everlast
Nows always surpassed

And, back further still
Even better then, until 
The best be all's it’ll

But, this trend is woe
Each past better than then's now
Life keeps getting worse

‘Till, the Now-a-Days
At the bottom of the hill
Things aren't looking up

No, they’re not and won’t
All generations to come
The next Kids Today

Dadella DeVil

(To be sung to the tune of "Cruella DeVil from Disney's 101 Dalmations)

Dadella DeVil, Dadella DeVil
If he don't make you laugh, no funny thing will
I think of him, and now I'm laughing still
Dadella, Dadella
You'll wait for him to come home from work until 
You see your Dadella DeVil
 
At first you think Dadella's kind of nutty
He might pick you and to twirl you aroun'
But just when you think, for him you are quite ready
He'll change it up and turn you upside down 

This crazy man, this lighthearted guy
I'll never forget him to the day I die
When Dad came home, it sure gave me a thrill
Dadella, Dadella DeVil

Imperial vs metrics

I buy my shoes by the foot,
Tend my front lawn by the yard,
Groom the dog by the furlong,
That’s why metrics are so hard.
