To the patio walked, steered by her maid
Looking forward to cool refreshments made
Saw a concoction to be sipped in the shade.
At first the lady uttered some ooohs
Hoping the drink might contain booze
But curious, as she eyed the yellow ooze.
Being overheated, she took a sip
And as soon as it passed over her lips
Her mind started taking a very weird trip.

“Zip it!” She stood with hands on hips,
Tracing her finger over her lips
“One more word and you’re in your room!”

He slithered in with his smarmy smile
Gazed around boldly down the aisle
He hadn’t been around for a while.
His scent you could smell from a mile
Greasy slicked hair stirred up bile
His gestures presented a lot of rile
But he hoped for an engenue with guile.
His tight suits meant to turn up the dial
But we had caught on to his “style”
His reputation we had in our files.

I watch from home—thankfully
Might be thrown out at an actual rally
At home I can yell till I’m blue in the face
Not well received by the human race
But my cat who is deaf (or pretends to be)
Just sits there only smiling at me
I think it’s the animation as I let out a word
Not meant for the average public herd.

A Beautiful Thing
A recent trip I have written about here before is my birthday gift of a Track Chair adventure to the Colorado Mountains.
sat on trudging tracks
mountain beauty surrounds me
scents of pines, babbling brooks

The tight suited young man paced back and forth to and from opposite sides of the stage, fingers interlaced behind his back. His stride was purposeful, as he hoped to present a correct discipline in the auditorium reception. Alongside him hurried another man of small stature, unkempt on his best day, holding a clipboard diagonal to his body and a pocketful of pens. J
“Sir, sir, pardon me, but do you wish me to keep recording your speech?” The audience, a gathering of brash freshmen, chuckled and muttered until a further glare of contempt was shown by the new professor.
