From the California desert to the streets of Elsinore. Harvey hit the dirt like he was off to war. Thomas Crown’s affairs meant nothing on the trail, Put him on a Triumph, and he would make it wail. Some airmen dug a tunnel in The Great Escape, Hilts hopped on a cycleContinue reading “Harvey Mushman”

Dime Store Rambo
He pushes out his puffed-up chest, And thinks that he is Heaven-blessed. Got his cape from Five and Dime, It’s tied on with a piece of twine. He proudly wore his gang tattoos, While anchoring the weekend news. More crosses than the KKK, Equality is not his way. He likes toContinue reading “Dime Store Rambo”

Ricketsville
The relentless wind propelled a tumbleweed across the deserted street. It stuck to a decaying porch in front of a weathered building. The entry door sagged on its one remaining hinge. A faded sign proclaimed: “Barbering and Tooth Extractions.” The wind moaned through its broken window. Ricketsville had seen better days. I turnedContinue reading “Ricketsville”
Whiosaw
Listen to the big Orange Clown: Oil is up, oil is down. The War is won, it was fun, The old regime has come undone. The Strait was open, so I closed it, High gas prices won’t hurt one bit. While at the pump, you shouldn’t bitch, Just buy my swagContinue reading “Whiosaw”
Lorena
There’s a song about Lorena that tells of long lost love, The soldiers sing of Lorena, their antebellum dove. And of leaving sweet Lorena, to march so far away, Hoping they will see Lorena on some distant day. All their thoughts were of Lorena, whose love could never fail, If only thatContinue reading “Lorena”
Heaven Sent
MAGA saw him as Heaven sent, But trouble followed where’er he went. He learned not much in Sunday School, Thought the Reverand was a fool. When we mortals marched off to war, He caught bone spurs, his Doctor swore. He cheated inallhis affairs, And said the Law was just for squares.. He used people likeContinue reading “Heaven Sent”
