"dagnabbit" poems
welcome to Earth on which we live,
why here? no one can say.
one thing is certain 'bout this planet's burdens;
they never will ever go away.
why not on Mercury? Neighbor the sun?
it's too close, the heat is unreal.
its surface is hot, a place we go not,
for we are too fragile to heal.
how about Venus, our sisterly planet?
she's gross and unhealthy too.
her surface corroded and it's duly noted
that this one will just never do.
we could try Mars, our redheaded friend
but alas! that simply won't work.
too much pollution for any solution
we'd most likely just end up hurt.
what say Jupiter that big cloudy mess?
good luck you dreamer and fool.
impossible dagnabbit! don't try to inhabit
for us that place is too cruel.
now you say Saturn, the world of infinity
well infinite is just a bad joke.
the rings may be nice, but take my advice,
there's too great a chance we'd all choke.
then perhaps Neptune, one more chance at home
your hopes once again are kaput.
she's not only distant, but far too resistant
to ever once let us set foot.
now our last chance Pluto, the farthest
but she's been sadly forgotten.
why dream of this? she's clearly not missed
by now she's dead and rotten.
my friends you have realized the greatest of truths
that anywhere else we'd be dead.
our life here on Earth is more than it's worth
as we dwell on our cosmic homestead.

gotta be like
aesop and his fable
slap a moral
on the table
talk about
old slow poke
tortiose on his hike
up against a speed freak
hare' barely all there
acceleration to spare
race don't seem fair
just a joke
but then the hare/rabbit
dagnabbit!!
takes a **** of
the green
juju.....whoohoo!!!
and when he awoke
the race was done
and the slow poke
helmut headed amphibian
had won...
hare standing around
stunned
tortiose doin the happy,
i shined your ***
shell shuffle
that enoughful......
yikes!!!
this is harder than
it seems
like interpereting
dreams
better,
start again...
find a new refrain
gotta make an
original stain
gotta use my incredible brainy, brain...
bring a new flavour
new story to savour
not some tired old jam
not for this poetry slam
so here goes
follow the flow
stay in the know
don't be a facsimile
a sad printed copy
take the high road
and write a new load
of out there, boxside
originality!!!
be one with totality
up at the mountains peak
where the angels speak
to those,
who have time
to listen.
one word, one world
glows and glistens
that word be, free
that word be LOVE
and love be liberty
to a soul broken
so the morale of
the day
freely give love away
as truth,
not a carnival token
the wise old woman
(yeah that be me)
now has spoken.
done now with
her word spin
done now
gotta go do
as she say
take some action
go give a nobody
a kind reaction
some hugular compaction
be a friend
to the friendless
the possiblities
endless
let charity
have a say
go on now
be one your way
