It Tasted Like Crap -- and the Food Sucked Too
or
Kismet Can Kiss My Arse

Yet after each blind dinner date,
I give a bad review to Fate.

Kindred Soles
A pensive moment passed the outcast passed out in the street
while each left shoe without a sole was pinched from off aged feet.

Beating the Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons into Plowshares
Not much of any note occurred in 1944 --
like every year, the same old hope for peace and same old war.

Torture True Medieval
"Each time I venture yet to reminisce upon thy charms,
my mind enchained slow racked is by thy death within mine arms."

The Romeo Portfolio
To the Best of Investments in Modern Medieval Times
From One Venturesome Backer
*
"Beneath my balcony thou yet dost come
to croak thy crowns of sonnets' fitful feet
and with thy thumb thy lute off-key flat strum
as hoots of laughing owlets screech offbeat.
By night my bed of roses thou dost pick
despite bad eyes and footings less than sure
besides the shrieks with each sharp thorny prick
or fall upon thy puss in fish manure.
On Valentine's my sweetmeats thou dost scarf

Navel-Gazing
or
The Mysteriousness of a Cramped Worldview
*
Each year on gazing out across the briny's winking waves,
I spy a quarter million folks slow drowning in the sea,
to whom I wave till all on flailing sink to salty graves --
though eyeing me yet just before, they wave their hands in glee.

Dragon Drained
"Yet still accused of being but a myth, each dragon wisely pleads the fifth forthwith."
-- Draconian Measures in the Prevention of Dragon Extinction
*
On putting dragons one by one to death
soon none would have to mask their dragon breath,
or fight the full benighted feudal knight
in quest of damsels fancied lily-white;
nor would one dragon dead be pressed to eat
medieval folks of past-the-due-date meat,
or be beset by filmdom's mindset set
till ending up a DreamWorks-trained tame pet;
and neither would...

Finger-Lickin' Better!
or
The Unprejudiced Speciesist
*
I merely peck at chicken fingers fried,
since having battered baby fingers tried,
plus whether roasted, baked, or barbecued,
each child is yet a higher protein food --
and not one newborn screams and fights like heck
or shits in fear when hanging by its neck.

At the slaughterhouse, chickens are hanged upside down and run through an electrically-charged pool of water intended to stun them. Many of the birds are not properly stunned,...
