Fathers, be good to your daughters; daughters will love like you do.

you are the strength and the weight of her world

Stream her with roses and daisies, dear mother,
let all that she speak be all that that she hears.
For no higher, no higher let her forehead doth grow;
and so dote, dote my mother, my mother so dear
and let her run free with a conscience so clear

of all my strange poetry, this is the strangest...

... and I love it!





quiddity

Far away, on yonder couch, sat a monkey with a pouch.
He’d snort and growl and give a hoot, then kick the biscuits with a boot.
Back here at home, all safe and sound, I’m spouting nonsense like a clown
Who’s lost his nose in crates of sauce, and lost his rhyming santa claus.
I make no sense (of that I’m sure), but I assure you, I am pure,
free of scary and obscene, my mouth is sewn, my hands are clean.
So after six more lines of crap, an owl fell into my lap.
where did it come from? I don’t know. But gosh, its beak was filled with snow!
It puked the snow onto my feet, then grinned at me (oh yeah, that’s sweet…)
and from the snow out popped a note - folded like a paper boat.
It read “dear author, greatest pal, I humbly write to wish you well.
but after twelve more lines, oh please, PLEASE make the madness cease!”

So I shall stop, for readers sake, just two more lines, and then I’ll break.
Remember that moose make great pets, and ketchup never EVER forgets.

he told me that I've done alright
and kissed me till the morning light
