Embracing The Aquatic - Heat 4
Summer, Saturday morning
hundreds of swimsuited kids
descend on their neighborhood,
or foes,
cabana club
and thus begins
the weekly swim meet.
Commencing with
brief warm up practice
followed by a long, tedious wait
for one's racing heat.
When at our home pool competing,
We'd spread our beach towels
on the grassy hill
overlooking the contest.
Biding our time
sunbathing, clowning around, and eating.
Mom brought chocolate covered donut sticks and boxes of strawberry Jello…our fingers and lips dyed...

Embracing The Aquatic - Heat 3
If we pay to use
the neighborhood pool,
you will join the swim team.”
A parental edict
we thought was real mean.
Getting up early
on Summer-break day's
Mounting old, purple
Schwinn bicycle,
slowly, reluctantly peddling…
sloth off to practice
for a Saturday meet
Beach towel, goggles
dangling ‘roun neck.
Wearing too brief,
light/darker blue-striped Speedo.
Splashers’ mandated
racing suit…
that if worn today,
would get me arrested.
Greeted each day
by smiley Coach Butch...

Glory Season
That time of the year again
fans cheering, playing to win
I settle in to my suit
waiting for the kick to boot
the poor pig down my field
with each crunch the crowd is thrilled
as their Emperor like blood lust is sated
this is the moment long awaited for
to see my boys fighting to score
yes, at long last glory season has come
time for the competition to come get some
so as my doors open after forever
I know this will be the best season ever
fans cheering, playing to win
I settle in to my suit
waiting for the kick to boot
the poor pig down my field
with each crunch the crowd is thrilled
as their Emperor like blood lust is sated
this is the moment long awaited for
to see my boys fighting to score
yes, at long last glory season has come
time for the competition to come get some
so as my doors open after forever
I know this will be the best season ever

Not a Fan
I'm not a football fan
but I do like the snacks.
The cheese and crackers
smoked oysters in the can
summer salami and teriyaki bites
vegie sticks and nacho chips
mini burgers in the pan.
The goofy commercials
and maybe the halftime show
but I'm not a football fan.
Laying on the couch
listening to everyone holler and cheer
sweaty guys running around in tight pants
nope, still not a football fan.

A WHIFF-WHAFF MIRACLE
I ran out of whiff-whaffs
That always made my day
Gave me some strong laughs
Ping-ponging them, every time I'd play
Now things are not the same
For a decade I had them like my veins
Like my eyes that protected them insane
Now in my head deep inside, it just rains
Clustered in my cotton round domain
There are only migraines and pain
The agony of this dreadful slain
Of my buddies, I so much miss in vain
On tables that lined up in a perfect row,
Their surface a shining sea of green, ...

Loss
What have I seen?
not actually sure
a losing team
there isn’t a cure
batters could not hit
pitcher let up many runs
balls popping out of mitts
fans annoyed; this was no fun
no hope for them
fans have gone away
behind by 10
maybe some other day
fans today were shedding tears
future days bring applause & cheers

Balls of Fury
I’ve never played tennis, I’ve never been able
But this is a sport I have always observed
We’ve moving it over to the dinner table
If you’re down for it just be ready to be served
Some balls can fly at you like whiz in a throng
But these little plastic spheres do have a nice ping
Then again balls coming at your face just sounds wrong
But tiny orbs going back and forth do have zing
How can something that weighs just under three grams
Cause so much fun and joy with lightning speed
Don’t fiddle with the paddle or the ball scrams ...

Kab-Baddy
In the gritty streets where Harley roams, Harleen Handall, the name she owns. A weekend shift at the corner store, Covering for her folks, she's ready for more.
Four girls stroll in, fueled by booz, one of them decides to shoplift, a bad decision to choose. "Oi P*ki, grab vodka from the top shelf, now!" Harleen stays cool and refuses to bow.
She hands over the bottle with a calm demeanor, But the girl's not satisfied, her actions much meaner. "LET GO, YOU SILLY B*TCH!" she yells and she kicks, Harleen holds tight, using her skills, so slick.

Der Kaiser
They say legends never die
Their stories becoming something of a myth
But for those from another generation
They bore witness to the greats
Somewhere up there a dream team is playing together
Cruyff, Maradona, Pele, Charlton
And now Franz joins them
Rest in Peace Der Kaiser

Oh, My God! Where's My Bikini?!
After taking a
cool swim, Jennifer ran back
to the beach and sat right down.
That was before she
looked at her sweaty naked
body and screamed her lungs out.
