Charles DeGaulle avait un nez géant.
Avant de l’embrasser, Mme DeGaulle insistait
pour qu’il le mouche d’abord - Pourquoi?
Pour l’empêcher de couler comme un robinet.
Charles DeGaulle had a nose gigantic
Before kissing him, Madame DeGaulle would panic
and had him blow it first –and why? To stop it
from dripping like a kitchen fauxcet.

Note: What follows is historical fact
though you may find it more than that.
Ancient Romans, for teeth hygiene,
brushed and rinsed with human urine.
Portuguese was thought the finest
because it made teeth the whitest.
Even the poet Catullus praised it
but never brushed his teeth with it.
And if a Roman ran out of it at home
there’s always his/her homemade own.

When I consider all the pills I take,
my health by now should be first-rate?
My doctor insists my health is fine,
and would improve if I didn’t whine;
so to pacify the complaints I make,
he prescribed another pill I take.

With her sports car in high gear,
smoking pot and sipping coffee,
and with her smart-phone to her ear
she drove herself into eternity.
If her hope was to get hold
of friends and loved-ones by smart-phone,
she should have been told
eternity is an absolute dead zone.

Believe in love at first sight, do you?
You’re not alone. Many still do.
Most are now divorced, separated, or estranged,
the majority miserable, bitter, even deranged.
A few hopefuls still visit an optometrist,
though most prefer a sympathetic psychiatrist.

There was a lady named Lynn.
Was told she was too thin.
She ate to increase her size,
Which led to her demise.
No coffin to fit her in.

We invited the new family to Sunday tea.
Who knew they would all tortoises be?
We pretended it was normal, Gram and me.
They did not reach for a single chocolate chip cookie.
Go out and catch some flies, said Auntie Bea.
They like them fresh and alive with their tea.
The way she knew was funny to little old me.
She used to date an old tortoise, you see.

When the sun's out, it's sunny
When my nose runs, it's runny
So, why is having fun not always so funny?
I'd pondered this question for many a moon
When the answer hit me like a typhoon ~
It's the fault of him who did not turn having a ball into balloons

Crunch N Munch or Fiddle Faddle
don't compare or you will be rattle
Can't be blamed if they taste the same
only difference is in their name
Crunch N Munch I love a bunch
for a snack they are my hunch
caramel popcorn peanut treat
Crunch N Munch fun to eat
Fiddle Faddle sweet to eat
caramel popcorn peanut treat
buttery crunchy flavor pow
hit you taste buds with a Wow
Caramel or butter toffee too
both are fun sweet snack food
but if you think they lack
open up that box of Cracker Jacks

Looking up with a gleam in the eye,
I offered to read; she said, “Why,
when your plots are bizarre,
leave emotional scars,
and most of your characters die?”

It seems that a Latter Day Saint*
Caused Andrea Dietrich to faint
In his quest for more
He knocked on her door
But his halo stayed where he ain't!

When Custer saw them Indians prepared for battle,
his teeth and knees were heard to rattle.
And though it’s not official, only prattle –
and the Army has sworn never to tattle –
his rear began sinking in more than his saddle.

No box of chocolates this year.
She doesn't need more calories.
Be romantic and manly instead.
But don’t do as you foolishly did
last year. Think first. Recall
the pain of your broken ribs
collapsing under her weight
when trying to lift her to bed?

O daddy’s little pound of joy,
a perfect, healthy blue-eyed boy!
Could a man be any prouder,
or his boasting any louder?
Cigars and champagne, too,
make the rounds with a big to-do.
Fast forward sixteen years later
and given the boy’s behavior
he cusses at how so dumb
to not have used a condom
and his wife so negligent
to let herself get pregnant!

Artists
Alfred, by chosen father, vehemently denies
the paternity and has had his statue erected in Faro.
At last, he was honoured for being glorious
bringing colour to an otherwise gloomy town.
Graffiti made by the like of Banksy charms
the rest is scribbling on a wall.
I know little about painters except for Caravaggio
he spoke the unvarnished truth about our life.
His critics like to point out that he was illegal too
what else to expect of the fearful.

(Shakespearean sonnet form: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG)
If there exists in your vicinity,
Presence of Toxic Masculinity
Give many thanks to your divinity
For this male fortunate proximity.
T’was men created engines, made the wheel.
Now look around, and all that you can see
Was made by toxic men who smelted steel
And conceived by male creativity.
You’ll find Ms. Curie heads a tiny list
Revealing gifts of femininity
A list so small that often it is missed.
Search if you will into infinity.
So ladies all, you should be grateful then,
That we are blessed with many toxic men.

The Israelis can not agree
Upon whom their leader should be
They are told to pray
But what should they say -
Pronoun M, F, X, or all three?

A port in Italy
Livorno was a dark town with sparse light that appeared Russian
at an open place with many trucks and many women milling about
I paid one she bent over the bonnet of a car
did this to relieve the boredom and the onset of depression.
When the deed was done, I walked to a restaurant and bought
a bottle of wine, it was surprisingly good, probably Russian
I do not care for Italian wine.
The woman followed me, wanted wine also, said I was gentle.
After two bottles, she said she loved me.
When she went into the loo. I jumped into a taxi and drove
back to the ship feeling annoyed.
What has love got to do with this?

To craft a poem short,
one that cavorts,
holds court,
exhorts,
perhaps retorts
of sort
and not resort
to ***ort:
a sport
that does comport
in support
of a certain forte.

Two figurines fell out of the sky
Dropped from a crop duster plane passing by.
The pilot yelled, "Look out down below!",
But no one could hear, he was flying so low.
The dolls struck Li Po who was filling his sack,
Now the rice farmer lifelessly floats on his back.
He does not move, first victim of
A double knickknack paddy whack.

Poor Mister Boots is lying dead,
A porcelain feline near his head.
He climbed the shelf to better see
What that peculiar thing could be.
He slipped, they fell,
And that was that,
'twas thus a curio killed the cat.

When I think of sky
it is a study of shapes,
radiance with motion;
a lidless stadium for
wings and blissful soaring...
the mental athlete I am
some nature of me giving
all artful snapshots flight,
no ceilings to my heavens,
and trapdoors to all my
belows –
I like to think that nothing
is definite, all Time having
added space – all sentences
lavishly repealed by grace;
my affection for endlessly
happy endings – even wrecks
like me, God yet loving, putting
new heels and soles on my
wayward, panting soul,
out-pacing Him and now
needing blessed, merciful
mending....
