In the game of life and death
DEATH always WINS!!!

It's 3a.m.
The coffee's hot-
the screen is blank-
My mind is churning butter-
I've already tossed two ideas,
Now I have to find anudder!
Help!

I've been through "complicated"
Its time for "simple" to take a seat-
So I looked for a job with a lot less stress
that would take me off my feet

I applied over here, and applied over there-
Finally got a stroke of luck-
Here I sit, next to the curb,
In my ice cream truck.

Mothers with their children
gather with gleaming faces-
I give the bars with nuts and toffee
to those with dental braces.

Its 3 a.m.

Drinking a cup of hot coffee,
Snacking on a warm, glazed, donut-
Life is simple-

Until the sun comes up!

Silent-
   Still-
Listening-
   Observing-
Reasoning-
   Waiting-
For the right moment-
    For the right distance-
Precise timing-
    Then--
LEAP!!!
Attacking the unsuspecting prey!
    clinging!
To my socks-
Kicking!     
   clawing!
Running away.
   hiding-
Behind the sofa
  
My cat-
BRIE!(as in cheese)

I bought a pair of shoes, not too long ago-
Some folks call them “sneakers"-
I prefer to call them “squeakers.”
because they "squish and squawk" from heel to toe

Yes, it can be annoying-
To those with whom I work-
Walking down the hallway,
causing heads to turn, and shirk.

Reactions are amusing-
but mostly a lot of fun-
The only disadvantage is-
I can’t sneak up on anyone.

Obtusely overt and contusionally obscene,
boy I feel like being mean.
Rip its face off, shove it up its nose,
be a raven in a flock of crows.
Be a bad *** savage brutal,
why I'll even throw in the kit and caboodle.
Feral phrenic frenzied ****,
with immaculate mule kit blues aimed ****.
One for all and all for one,
we're all moving to Fullerton.
Where the lecherous lothario lout,
is no longer libido liaison's tout.
Fecund cogent liberating exigence,
do you get it or are you dense?
Pique puissant piquant quintescence,
have you all learned your lessons?
