DuMb dUmB..
The King’s hireling knight mentioned one night
to the Jester that sat aimlessly playing at the foot of the King’s thrown..
..’for one who knows so many wise tales
you seem to me dumber than a pouch of rocks
I know the King requires.. but your want seems to match in desire
to wear such colorful getups and long ludicrous sox..
Do you not care for such wisdom you know and spew
through all your silly tales?..
to think if you were not dumb but the wiser
you could be counsel in high court to thy faithful Sire..

once upon a railroad track
traveled a seemly Cat and a handsome Rat
yes a handsome rat of the sort that played a mean Ukulele..
this handsome rat was named Bon
he’d travel the track strum his strings and sing his songs
each song different but when in trouble he’d sing the same one indeed
it so happened this day
this seemly cat pounced him as he walked, played and sang
Cat stating..
..’little handsome Rat you are now my prey!’..
the Rat in turn stated..
..’Mr. Seemly Cat if you would be so kind to let me up..
I promise not to...

ThE SymPhoNy
A disciple of who chose a Guru
Due to the Guru’s agelessness and wisdom
Thought one day to ask..
..’Teacher.. how may I take steps to lengthen my days
That I may one day be as you are ageless and wise?’
The Guru in turn looked upon his pupil with a coy smile
Before leaning toward one of his many wives..
Whispering in his wife’s ear the Guru spoke a few words
Instantly making the two of them giggle out loud..
The student was puzzled at his teacher’s action and asked..
..’Teacher. is there something wrong with my asking such a question?’

One day a King called in his Fool
Insisting the Fool tell him a tale
One intriguing and of wonder
But indeed factual and historically true..
The Fool being that of a fool giggled and pondered
…...
..’my King.. dear King
Time is so filled with amazing tales that are very much true
And indeed that of great wonder..
If you so wish I shall tell you the tale of a magnificent Kingdom
So mighty as much it could only have fallen from within
And indeed becoming a wonder of a blunder?..
hahahaha…
Be there no disrespect to my Sire ...

tO mY FuNNy VaLeNtiNe..
Dip these words in chocolate...
for strawberries pressed in sugar
hold flavor that is bitter..
..in comparison to all the sweet pieces I know so well on you..
..place every one of these Nouns on a stick..
…cover with liquid goodness………
…………………………………..and liiiiick..
simple as that..
but make it quick.. chocolate at such hot temps
can run down your hand and require much more attention..
I needn’t mention how on this Valentine
you are the rainbow of my redemption that’s oh so tempting
..to invite to a romantic dinner..

sO mAnY gAmEs!..
oh the many games being played..
so many playing their part in life's many masquerades..
..the Preacher
..the Teacher
..the Popper
..the Prince
who is to say who is wrong or right when each is in question of their own existence?
would it be easier said that the blind know no light?..
yes….
...ignorance is bless to a bird that know not it can fly..
if one is truly aware how the wind and wing meet
worry themselves not of those that deceive..
they are but one needed side of a perfect square..

ThE AppEaSeR..
The daughter of a King asked her Father one day..’
..’Father..
Why is it we having so many in our Kingdom
That we all must write and speak the same language?..
There are many having traveled from distant lands
That seem to be at a disadvantage
Bringing with them their own ways and customs
Is it fair that they must learn our ways
In order to share in the success of our Kingdom?..’
The King being of a kind and just sort
Placed his daughter on his lap
And began to tell his sweet angel a story..
..’Dear daughter of mine.....

ThE hEaRt aNd tHe MinD..
It so happen one day
by the side of slow running stream
fishing pole baited..
strung..
positioned..
lying in wait to snag that of which the Body had need..
the Heart said to the Mind
…’is it fair that we take the life of such a creature to maintain and merely dine?’
the Mind pondered the question
simply to ask one of its own..
…’what is not a creature of such that maintains its place under the sun?’
the Heart pounded as it pondered
hoping to dissuade the Mind before there be a tug on the line..
…’are not fruits and...

It’s your favorite Jinni of the Jinn..
At your beckoning call
One that loves to entertain
Tell me your wants
All of your needs
And from this hat I will set the stage…
My name is Amos!.. of the Jinn..
Makes no difference if you remember me not..

At the simple price of one measure of your Soul
Of them you have been envious
Will soon enough beg to be in your shadow..
Who can best campaign for your Highness?

Erotic Rebecca..
the fairest of beauty..
and pleasing to touch
tongue of a snake..
not slithering and such
but much in the way bewitching
to whomever she host..
Man.
Woman.

Heart of a Harlot..
as a young woman taught..
…many different games on the Devil’s playground…
so happens one day
she desired to straighten and turn from such ways
only to have let another know..
..that to whom would cause such play of the game to unravel…
for that one told another

You are born to it…
…amazing how the first breath one takes is just as soon a thing of the past..
….like footsteps in the sand washed away by the shores of time
You breathe. sleep and walk to it
…each breath. rest and step from that day forth is brand new then..
….like footsteps in the sand washed away by the shores of time
Every word from any fingertip or lips speaks to it
…each word spoke or wrote is Soully enjoyed as it is heard or read then..
….like footsteps in the sand washed away by the shores of time..
There is no way to move it....

Tommy had a curiosity
..of sorts he could not scratch
he craved to learn the secret of an elderly man
..of whom would sit on his porch.. puff on his pipe
and smile at each person that passed
many would stop and ask the old man questions
they’d chat.. laugh then go on their way
Tommy had witnessed this scene for many years
and yet never approached the old man
he heard from his neighbors
in no uncertain terms
the old man had an odd sense of humor
yet indeed be the kindest of stranger
