I really need to get a massage,

It’s only the funding that I lack.

However I feel so stiff and sore,

Wonder if Sammy would walk on my back…

Having a penis is a dangerous thing.

Like having a camera with auto-zoom.

It makes me buy ridiculous stuff,

Like Kim Kardashian’s latest perfume…

They operated on my foot today,

Removing glass that thought to stay.

Then they say it wasn’t glass,

Which made me think of a winsome lass.

(It was dark and we had been skinny-dipping,

Our young bodies battling the chill with our

Overheated passion.

As she turned her bike to ride away,

She ran over my foot, breaking a small bone.

I can’t remember why or what we argued about,

But will always remember her. And the diagnosis

Of hyperkeratosis…)

Needles and blades,

Digging in my foot.

Don’t have a rhyme here,

Isn’t that a hoot?

Sammy and Daddy, sitting in a tree.

N-A-P-P-I-N-G

First comes a stretch, then comes a yawn,

Hopefully we don’t fall down to the lawn.

Sammy and I were snuggling,

And what do you suppose?

When I skritch her under the chin,

Her ears tickle my nose!

Losing myself out on Chumash land,

So peaceful, serene, every nook and cranny.

Went into the woods to chase a dream and

Wound up lying amongst the Frangipani…

Trying so hard to get things done,

Life, after all is a forward progression.

Yet inside I’m lonely, empty and lost,

Crippled by this m*****f***** depression.

04/17/2018

The critics say that I repeat myself,

Writing insufferably about my cat.

Well, I’m no student of literature so,

I’ll let the professors write about that.

I wanted Sammy to get out of my chair,

Yet she sat, unmoved by my wiles and charms.

So I picked her up, to claim my seat,

And she snuggled down, asleep in my arms.

Crippled by this mf depression.
