Daggoneit!

I done broke my alliteration,
it has left, gone on vacation.
My metaphors have gone kaput!
I don't even know where to begin to look.
My tired ol' brain, has dropped reframe,
(I gazed sadly upon it's last remains.)
And I simply cannot find my simile,
it made a face and ran from me.
Sigh..now where did I put my pen?
Daggoneit! Oh Never mind.
The END.

No Answers

For years
you claimed to always protect
even in the most dire circumstances..you said you would be there,
that I should never doubt your strength, and your love.
You were my knight, my muse, my best friend,
and always my lover.
My thoughts never strayed,
 my heart remained faithful and true.
I fought to keep something that I believed
with all my heart, to be worth any pain.
But in the end, my protector became
my villain...in a heartbeat,
years gone, and flung under the bus
that were your own plans, not shared, at least
not with me.
I am still bewildered at times
as to how it all came to be,
my only surety that it was not something
I would ever had predicted for us.
Why I remain still thinking upon it after many
months have gone by...
why the shock and pain, though dulled, are still with me...
I wish I could answer, but in truth, I cannot.
Some dreams die hard.
Some loves are never replaced.
Some pain never goes away,
no matter how much you want it to.
And I do.

Snake Oil

Shadows.

a loud "Pssst!"comes from an alley.

"Come here, I've got something to sell ya.

You say you don't believe in fairy tales?

Well my friend, have I got a tale for you.

Step right this way friend.

Let me tell you about a beautiful beach..

miles of white sand..beautiful water..near the Grand canyon..imagine the views...

For a steal! My friend you can't pass up a deal like this one...

"WAIT! Don't go friend, so you aren't interested in sunsets on

your own beach? How do you feel about getting rich? I mean

REALLY rich, Rockefeller and Gates rich! Friend, you

ever heard of a pyramid? Yes....what? No! come back

I have something even better...

"Could you imagine never getting old? Like that?

Yes indeed...the fountain of youth. A world famous

scientist in Switzerland developed this formula years ago, and

it was kept very secret, only the very rich could afford it..

Today my friend, right here in this little bottle, is a miracle..

a way to never grow old, always be young...

What? Surely you believe me! Friend..don't leave yet, I have

one more thing...

" You say there is no such thing as a faithful spouse?

No, friend, there is secret, very few know about it, but I am

going to sell it to you, the real deal. Ah..you Are interested...good, good.

...they'll never cheat again, G-u-a-r-a-n-t-e-e-d! Friend!

And I will tell you how...how much do you think that is worth to you?

Well for a few precious pieces of silver I will gift you with

how this is possible..yes..I can help you....step right this way..."

"Surely you must be mistaken! I would never! Heh! Heh!"

There is a cat

that goes exploring,

while Mommy is curled up,

boisterously snoring.

Upon the counters

he will stalk,

his calling card is fur,

left from his walk.

Though forbidden

while I am obviously awake,

he settles curiosity

on those visits he takes.

He is not a thief,

this cat debonair,

it is simply his way of

saying "Gilligan was There."

And a "neener-neener" to Mommy,

With a paw to his nose,

nobodies can tells

where a Gilly cat can goes.

*A cheeky fellow*

is my friend, that cat,

only at sleep time

is he ever a brat.

In the Audience

Quietly sitting back

Patiently waiting.

I can wait, it's no big deal, no effort,

and not a waste of time.

I will no longer cry injustice and terrible

cruelty,

for that fact is well known.

Now I will watch, now I will listen,

and now all I have to do is wait for the hush

as the curtain rises.

For when the show starts

I want to be in the audience and

not on the stage.

I want to applaud at the right moments,

and as in rowdier days send my hisses

and boo's to the villains getting their just rewards.

The admission will be free.

The show well worth the wait.

The critics will have a heyday.

And yes I can wait, wait on that day.

Ahem..clap-clap-clap.
Justice slowly happening.
FYI: I Was the best thing
that ever happened to you.
Failing to see that,
you are reaping the rewards.
Sorry, but it is true.
