Inspired by life, literature, love and music.
Come at Me Bro!
The Great Decapod Crustacean War
General Clawdius Herman Shellby Pincer VIII stood on the rock
He had come from a long line of warriors since the Jurassic era
His family were more defined by their extra thick exoskeletons
Their species are one the longest living creatures on planet Terra
An army of a million crabs had gathered there in the ocean floor
Ready to go to war as General Pincer VIII encouraged the troops
He spoke to platoons, sergeants, chieftains, captains and crabtains
Advising that the enemy is fast and catches them in groups ...

2016 – August
While watching Being Human (a show about a Vampire, a Werewolf and a Ghost)
Me: Babe, if a vampire offered you eternal life…
Wife: YES!
Me: Just like that huh? You’d watch me get old and die?
Wife: BYE FELICIA!
2015 – September
Showing the boys Naked Gun 2 ½. Lt. Frank Drebin helps me explain the birds and the bees
Xavier (11): What? I don’t get it
Xander (10): I don’t get it either

There is Transformation in Death
For some species on earth,
there is transformation in death, a renaissance
if you will, becoming young all over again, whether you
see it as reincarnation or rebirth, a new life begins. There is
transformation in death, some lifeforms can be considered
immortal, the cycle continues underneath the ocean waves,
filling the sea with vibrant and deadly limbs. But that’s the
way nature has made them out to be, a wonderful creation of
beauty and wonder, for when their time comes, ...

For a Good Time Call (Pronouns & Eulogies)
For a good time call my number on the wall
I swear it’s not sexual or even sensual
And though it may sound pervy when I say you’ll have a ball
It’s not like that at all
I’ll make you laugh your ass off
To the point you will have tears in your eyes
But if you die due to a hard cough
I’ll be the first one at your funeral to apologize
…and eulogize
Dearly beloved, here lies (insert your name here)
(Insert how you pronounce your pronouns) was caught off guard
I think something was triggered internally
Because I made (insert...

Music in Motion
I was young when I first saw that array of movement and color
That giant wall of sound reverberating through my ears
It left an impression deeply embedded on my mind and soul
Something that lingered in my heart for many, many years
It was physically demanding and technically challenging
But in those days I longed to improve and make the big leagues
Ensembles weaving together beautifully like poetry and music
Each part moving independently but as one unit at high speeds
Through the decades drills like Z pulls and disappearing crosses ...

She Found Me
I was being shy and was trying hide
So I covered my eyes and to my surprise she found me
On that warm summer night under the moonlight
She walked up to me, lifted my cap looking in curiously
“Why are you hiding?” she said with that a smile
The moment our eyes met there was something
As her group of friends and mine met that first time
I felt my heart’s rhythm thumping and bumping
“I’m not hiding” I replied still trying to hide
With a shy smile she must’ve found appealing
I was trying to be smooth in those old days of youth ...

Deep Down Underground
He tried to bury it deep down underground
But this thing, it still came up for air
He sought to cover it in his soul trying to get a hold
Of the emotion that grows within in despair
And yet the sensation leaves him in a state of pure elation
A conundrum of willpower, frailty, and control
The fixation rocks him to the very core of his foundations
Wondering why the sweet affliction is taking its toll
But this thing, it still came up for air
He sought to cover it in his soul trying to get a hold
Of the emotion that grows within in despair
And yet the sensation leaves him in a state of pure elation
A conundrum of willpower, frailty, and control
The fixation rocks him to the very core of his foundations
Wondering why the sweet affliction is taking its toll

The Greatest Generation
All those lives
All those lives
tossed into turmoil
When there was a rise in tyranny
and crimes against humanity
Many answered the call to fight for justice
Men were sent off to war
Women went off to work
All those lives
All they sacrificed
When I think of 1944
I think of the world being at war
Innocent lives being taken away
Innocent people being displaced
I think of all those young men being in faraway lands
not knowing if they would come home
I think of the mothers who...

Torpedo Jamming, Rocket Mapping & Other Innovators in History
Praise your moms, praise your sisters, praise your daughters, praise your queens
Praise all the women in your life who have helped you achieved your dreams
Honor those women who have contributed to society but never got the glory
It’s March, it’s women’s history month so learn about them and tell their stories
Like
Did you know that Hollywood star Hedy Lamarr was also an inventor?
The actress of the silver screen had patents and other inventions that still apply
During the war she came up with the idea of frequency jamming for torpedoes
And that...

Whilst Mine Gittern Softly Doest Weepeth
i
Oh fair maiden, thy beauty is something which hast engulfed mine own soul
I have been smitten by the emotion of pure love yond many men has't seeketh
Thus I composeth this song dedicated to thy heart so that I may seeth thee again
Pouring mine own heart to thee whilst mine gittern softly doest weepeth
ii
Today I hath found myself compelled to pen a poem inspired by thy exquisiteness
I hath felt as if the Almighty Lord spake and gaveth me the word to sealeth and keepeth
Thus I sung a song to the birds and they hath heard of mine love I sing for...
