DON’T BE FOOLED

She comes on strong
She likes to flirt
Don’t mess with her
Or you’ll get hurt.

She’s not so nice
Don’t get too close
Put up your shield
Put on your cloak.

A pretty face
She’ll pull you in
Don’t be fooled
She’s not your friend.

Toxic, poison
She’ll cast a spell
Take you with her
Straight to hell. 


Pointed tail
Hidden horns
That rose she has
Is filled with thorns.

There’s other fish
Out in the sea
She’s not for you
Listen to me. 

A sip of wine
A glass or two
She has a plan
She’s come for you. 

Don’t be tricked
Don’t be fooled
Don’t follow her
Don’t get confused.

She is Satan
In disguise
Don’t fall for her
She’ll make you cry.

ALL ALONE

Everyone’s afraid of you

Always smirking , tripping blue

All the nasty snide remarks

No one wants to swim with sharks!

———

Stop complaining, taking shots

Thinking you are …..oh, so hot

Friday nights you’re sitting home

Wonder why you’re all alone?

———

Thinking you can roll your eyes 

Shrug your shoulders ….. diss and sigh

But, people want to run from you

Bid farewell and say, adieu.

——-

What will it take to make you see

Don’t you want some company?

Good to have a close best friend

Someone to hang with …. now and then.

———

So offensive, crude and rude

You need to change your attitude 

Since no one likes you, no one does 

You’ll never get a warm, sweet hug.

REUNION

So great to get together

After all these years 

I missed you all, so  very much 

It brings me close to tears.

——-

Some of us got married

Some of us divorced

Some of us still single

Some lives were cut too short.

——-

Many have had children

With babies of their own 

Grandparents, aunts and uncles

Some moved out, then moved back home.

———

The glory days behind us

Pain and sickness claimed a few

Some are now disabled

Some with scooters, walkers, too.

——-

Memories of the good old days

I loved her heart and soul

I went off to college

She acquired a band of gold.

——-

I married five years later

My wife has passed away

Found out her husband had died, too

If we spoke ….. what would I say?

——-

A tap upon my shoulder

A kiss upon my cheek

She  looked so very pretty

She still remembered me.

———

We drank some wine together

Asked her if she’d like to dance 

Two old fogeys …. out on the floor

Rekindling their romance.

INTOLERABLE

Thinks she’s a Kardashian

Her nose up in the air

Only thinks about herself

Doesn’t really care.

——

Probably bipolar

Mood changes high and low

Can aggravate the best of us

Everywhere she goes.

——-

Rolls her eyes, turns away

She’s  curt and so dismissive 

Superficial and judgmental 

Seldom stops to listen.

——-

Makeup , clothes and hair products

Those currently the rave

At seventeen she has it all

She thinks she has it made. 

——

Self entitled, spoiled and rude

She’ll tell you what to do

No respect for what you want

No concern for you. 

——

Arrogant and selfish

Has trouble making friends

No one sticks around too long

It’s a shame, a sin.

——

Intelligent, attractive

Prides herself on her good looks

Lacking in personality

Could use a self help book.

——

Needs a psychotherapist

Someone she can talk to

Maybe some medication

A pink pill or a blue.

——-

Everyone around her

Is walking on thin ice

Hoping she’ll be civil

Hoping she’ll be nice.

——

i for one have given up

No longer wasting time.

On someone so intolerable

On someone so unkind.

HE’S DANGEROUS

He is not a leader

No concept of fairplay

He’s always been a bully

He always gets his way.

——-

Brash, rude and so offensive

Using force with all his might

Steam rolling his  way through life

Always looking for a fight.

——

Oblivious to social norms

So sure that he knows best

Lacks manners , has no morals

Wish that …. he’d give it a rest.

——-

Seething with resentment

Wants it all, he never shares

Angry and so jealous 

He wants us to be scared.

——-

Power hungry, filled with rage

Greedy and insatiable

On a quest to have it all

Heartless and deplorable.

——/

No morals or a conscience 

Acquisitions are his goal

Envisions he’s a dictator

With pockets filled with gold.

——-

Fantasies of dominance 

One country at a time

Believes that he can conquer

Doesn’t care if it’s a crime. 

——-

Starting off with Greenland

He’s delusional ….?obsessed

Planning to push forward 

Who knows what he’ll do next. 

——-

There’s going to be a world war

If we can’t reel him in

What were the people thinking

Who elected him again?

FRIGHTENED

Our pride and our compassion 
A wealth of history 
Soon to be abolished 
That’s how it’s going to be.

All the norms we’ve cherished
To be taken away by force
Filled with only hate and rage
This is our new  found course.

Half the nation’s voters
Elected this regime
Is this what they really wanted?
What does this really mean?

So desperate now to take control
Set us back a hundred years
The thought of losing all our rights
Fills me with dread and fear.

Will good win over evil?
With no accountability?
He takes and takes, unopposed 
With no responsibility.

Greedy , crass, unbridled 
Looking out for billionaires 
Nothing that he plans to do 
Is respectable or fair.

A bully with the reigns in hand
A dictator wannabe
Now has his own country
Just wait, just wait and see. 

Who knows what lies before us
It’s out of our control
He’s forsaken what is just and right 
He’s given up his soul.

Where are our guardian angels?
Goliath can not win
But, like a cat with seven lives
Satan’s there protecting him.

SNOWFALL

Unusually cold
Snow coming down
Let’s go outside
There’s snow on the ground. 

Wear your snowsuit
Your hat and your boots
Let’s build a snowman
That’s what we’ll do.

I’ll bring a carrot
Two pieces of coal
A scarf for his neck
I’m sure he’ll be cold.

A long carrot nose
With coal for his eyes
When he starts melting
I know I will cry.

Ice skating and sledding
With rosy red cheeks 
So glad that it snowed 
It’s as white as a sheet.

When we come in
We’ll have a warm cup
Of mama’s sweet cocoa
Made with chocolate and love.

Sit by the fire 
Warming our toes
Watching the flames
And the embers that glow.

A day to remember
I’ll never forget
Can’t get any better
As good as it gets.

BUMPY RIDE

The landing gear sounded faulty
Wondered when this plane was built
Probably thirty years ago
Need to tighten my seat belt.

Heard a screeching sound below
Had to pray we’d make it home
There was too much turbulence
I wish that I had known.

Budget flight, yes…. now I know
Next time I’ll fly UNITED
Their tickets were expensive
But for sure… I’m going to try it.

No movie shown, no special treats
Just a bag of old stale chips
Offered with a beverage of choice
That’s all that came with it.

The plane was bouncing all around
My soda can was spilling
Hoped that we could make it back
As long as God was willing.

Bumpity bump, the screech of the brakes
Reversing thrust and motion
Thankful we didn’t all end up
At the bottom of the ocean.

So much to be grateful for
I hugged the flight attendant
Thanked the pilot graciously
So glad this flight had ended.

ALONE

Feeling so unhappy
Can’t control myself
Feeling so alone
Calling out for help.

Everyone’s too busy
No one takes the time
No one really cares about
This broken heart of mine.

Sitting here all by myself
Nothing I can do
I’m here day after day
Feeling sad and oh so blue.

Totally dependent
Can’t drive… I’m stuck inside
Can’t walk without my cane
Can’t catch a lift or ride.

Always have to ask
Like a beggar on the street
Too much for them to do
Someday they’ll be like me.

Painful bones and joints
So hard to get around 
Need to use my walker
If I ever get to town.

I’m bitter and resentful
No one  here to comfort me
No one for me to talk to
No friends or company.

Never thought I’d be alone 
I’ve been left out in the cold
Cast aside, and yes …. forgotten
It’s not easy getting old.

CONVICTED

I can’t believe it
I’m sick inside
Though he’s convicted
He’ll do no time.

He is a felon
He broke the law
He should be punished
Was Merchan’s call.

Like all the others
He was afraid
He let him walk
He has it made.

Could have held him
Accountable
Instead he freed him
Incredible.

No rhyme or reason
Trump won again
He is a criminal
Among free men.

It’s the beginning
Of our demise
We cannot trust him
He always lies.

What kind of President 
Seeks revenge
He has no honor
He’s back again.

He is a felon
Should be in jail
The system’s broken
The system failed.
