out in the bayou one day
I saw an alligator
coming my way
I watched in fascination
as he did majestically sway
ever nearer to me
in the muddy clay
smiling in glee
but I didn’t flee
I looked at him
defiantly
unfortunately for me
he had a buddy

for those who want to know
fiction can be fraudulent
in many ways
literary forgeries
can amaze
using real people
in fictional context
is also one of the ways
to cheat readers
with pilfered phase
beware
there’s sneaky writers
out there!

No one was faster than Finn
who could outrun the wind
with his Cheetah-like limbs
he was as fast as a Ferrari
or a Lamborghini
on an endless track
to hell and back
his speed was a sight to see
more impressive than a Humvee
Finn was all he could be

2026 is here
ahead of us
is a new frontier
an opportunity to
start a new career
or a chance to
become a pioneer
it’s all up to you
on what you want to do

during a smoke session in the dead of night
I lit my cannabis-packed pipe
then the world of THC smiled at me
as I drifted happily
and when I awoke
all I could remember
was that it was GOOD smoke!

the deserted lot was full of Nutsedge and crabgrass
growing haphazardly around
piles of broken glass
lying about on the ground
by any measure
it was unsightly
but not to the little girl
who wandered by
and saw the wildflowers
with an appreciative eye

there was something about him
that made the students beware
that made them curious
about his 1000-yard stare
He was slender and tall
a loner that seldom spoke
and who played great basketball
on the varsity team
that was undefeated
and every coach’s dream
but when the lights went out
and everyone went home
he stood outside the gym alone
looking at the wall’s graffiti
showing him looking creepy
a hero on the hardwood floor
afterwards a laughingstock
students liked to ignore
then one day he went away
and joined the NBA

when the Book of Life opened one day
worlds of words streamed out
causing religious men to pray
as words dripping in blood
told mankind’s story
every word told a tale
of human folly
and war
never-ending sagas
in legends and lore
when the Book finally closed
it was forevermore

I got into an argument with my boss the other day
and afterwards I got drunk as a skunk
with a lot to say
I lurched around the office
in an alcoholic haze
a pissed-of apprentice
ending his days

Baby Jesus quietly slept in a bed of hay
his parents nearby keeping guard
night and day
while ICE agents roamed the land
preying on Brown people in a sickening display
of racist hatred during the Christmas holiday
What would the grown Jesus have to say?
