No help

Listerine
will help
bad breath if
you follow the directions.
Mouthwash by any other name
won’t help you if
you have a
really scummy
personality.

Why? Tell me why?

The
feelings I
have at this
moment in time are
indescribable. So, my inner self
asks (but not rhetorically)
why should I
write any
more?

Sunflower

Sunflower
silently dancing
to the melody
of the droning bee,
petals moving toward
the sun,
flower.

Footprints in time

Footprints
in sand --
here-and-gone
artistry captures the reality
of a slice in time
between lovers, friends,
or, simply,
strangers.

Let's all go Googlin'

Mousing
one’s way
to increase knowledge
seems a bit lazy
unless you count the hours
it took to get
all that information
on the
internet.

Googlin'
is exhilarating
to those searching
for the most insignificant
facts, like what is the
world’s largest hummingbird or
the longest beard
in the
world?

Few
facts can’t
be found out
by search-and-click.
Still obscure facts include: Name
of person who has
the most impressive
collection of
zits.

Searching
that subject
resulted in the
disclaimer that zits are
comers-and-goers, not sticking
around long enough to
be considered countable.
Like savings
accounts.

Wailing at whales

Wailing
serves no
purpose when clinging
to a whale's back.
Whaling doesn't work for squat
when prey and vessel
are both one
and the
same.

Laugh!

Laugh
or not,
but don't chuckle.
Chucklers are the bane
of Laughter World's Visitor Center.
Lack of guffawocity creates
a sense of
chucklers being
laughadaisical.

Eternal triangle

Mice
are nice.
So are cats
if they are not
placed in a cage together.
Throw a dog in
and you have
artificially controlled
chaos.
