Epic Fail
Tarred and feathered on a rail, Put the Donald in the jail, As we respect the Rule of Law, Throw the Donald in the maw, He has been an epic fail. LDT April 29, ‘24 Tritter/X called this little Limerick violent hate speech: Main Menu: http://www.azrockdodger.com
Ride the High Lonesome
If I could ride the High Lonesome Trail, I’d choose the right path and I’d never fail. Wending my way through washes and rocks, And not give a care for cell phones or clocks. I’d gaze at the mountains in wonderous awe, The prettiest picture that I ever saw. Fed by the rain and warmedContinue reading “Ride the High Lonesome”
Retina
Cloudy lens, myopic eye, Give the Doc just one try, Doctor A will fix me good, I will see like I should. Easy op with little pain, My world becomes clear and plain. I threw my glasses in the trash, Had better uses for my cash. The curtain came from the side, My vision wasContinue reading “Retina”
Pinned
There I was stuck, pinned to the ground. My budding mechanical expertise had utterly failed me. How was I going to get out of this mess? My eleven-year-old self had been so proud when Dad told me to go put the tire back on the truck. He had done something to the brakes and hadn’tContinue reading “Pinned”
Arizona’s 1864 Abortion Law
In 1864 Arizona was a newly created territory with a multitude of problems and a population of about 5000 non-Indians (about half of whom became U.S. citizens when southern Arizona was acquired from Mexico in the 1854 Gadsden Purchase.) The only real town in the territory was Tucson. It was a backward place of roughContinue reading “Arizona’s 1864 Abortion Law”
Election Fraud Rant
There is nothing wrong with showing an ID when you vote so long as it does not impose an unfair burden on the poor, the infirm and the elderly. The 42-state figure is, however, incorrect. There seems to be a fallacy that there is significant voter fraud in America. There is almost none. It isContinue reading “Election Fraud Rant”
A Bird Softly Soars
I rarely write free verse. At the Cochise Writer’s Celebration on Friday, I got a random prompt I couldn’t resist. A Bird Softly Soars Wings spread Flitting among trees Never landing for long Seeking perfection A nest, safe, shaded Home For but one season Weeks of waiting The newness of life Nurturing Fledglings take flightContinue reading “A Bird Softly Soars”
The Empty Cabin
Two old cowboys were lost in a storm, Hopin’ to find a place that was warm. The midnight hour was closin’ on in, And the howlin’ wind was makin’ a din. They found a cabin up in a draw, And ventured on in hopin’ to thaw. A miner’s tools were strewn about, That he wasContinue reading “The Empty Cabin”
Southwind
Back in the Eighties some friends came to call, They were hopin’ to see America’s all. Now eight people don’t fit in a green MGB, A Super-cab Ford or a red Mercury. Rented a Southwind, it could sleep eight, If it gets to Montana, that would be great. Four fifty-four and leaky exhaust, There’s noContinue reading “Southwind”
