Spanish Suspicions
They're speaking Spanish behind my back
They're planning something clandestine
I'm certain of that
You can call me a paranoid old fool
But if you could hear their whispers
You'd be worried too
So, don't scold or condemn me
Because I won't turn a blind eye
To either of the scheming guys
While these two make plans
In a language I don't understand
Inspired by my evil bilingual nieces who drive their old uncle to pieces! How I suffer so. 😓

My Sweet Zest
Colorless unhappiness, racking my mind
Existence tedious, life is a grind
Lugubrious emptiness, depression combined
Ravenous appetence, ungratified
I yearn a kick - of zip and bliss
To inspire a bit of blitheness
I need a hit - of Lemon Zest
Loan me some from your spice rack
I promise that I will pay you right back
With an exciting tangy kiss
Laced with a bit of sweet citrus
Upon your luscious lips
Only Christ knows how much I love lemons
And you - My Lemon Zest

Alien Angels
When they fell from heaven
Saying that they’d save us
We thought they were angels
Until they became hungry
Who had saved us for later

My Second Amendment Friend
Fed-up with their constant fulminating
Using the Constitution as justification for intimidation
They parade around with their military assault weapons
Warning they also carry concealed handguns
They bloviate how they’re ready to kill anyone
Who dares challenge their rightwing ideology
So, he began searching his storage closet
While sorting through his old belongings
Images of those dead children he taught
Murdered in his school’s mass shooting
Flashed vividly in obsessional imagery
He found it!

DEMONIC DIAHREEHA
Liars here
Liars there
Liars fucking everywhere
Dershowitz in his underwear
Truth is an endangered species
In this, my nation of mendacity
"Fuck the Ninth Commandment"
Said We the People of alternative facts
Even the hallelujah television evangelists
Preach, “Murder the Truth dead”
Damn these sewage sucking leaders
Wanting to hide the Truth in a basement
Where citizens aren’t allowed to see it
Pretending to be patriotic Senators
These dirty rotten motherfuckers
Are nothing more than traitors
...

Priorities
Once my priorities of noteworthy centered around success and making money. Till the Grim Reaper, that sneaky shadowy creeper, surrounded my heart with a cancerous tumor.
For nearly a year he tried to drag me through Death's door, across a needle strewn floor, but I resisted his persistence. Finally, the Grim Reaper disappeared but not before saying, "Be rest assured, someday I will return."
Forever after my priorities have changed. Money has become nothing more than an annoying necessity. Success is defined by treating others as I would me.

Alexa
Alexa, of sweet voice and profound advice, will you be my Valentine's date tonight?
After dining with bubbling wine we'll dance cheek to cheek, to a fast Rumba, then Tango to a slow Latin beat. Next, at my place we can kickoff our heels, cozy on the sofa, relax and giggle.
When a silent pause demands, softly I'll whisper in your ear, "Alexa, my sweet Alexa, will you please stay the night, till the break of morning light?"
A poetic prose.
