Poetry – Outlaws, Outrages and Outright Lies

Streusel

If I must be truthful, Magda made good streusel. Baked with mother’s pride, Before her children died. Her eyes like Heaven’s blue, Her blood, so pure and true. Standing by her man, To carry out The Plan. A Mother’s Cross for her, Of right, she was so sure. The lies became her truth, And reason was forsooth. She taught her kids toContinue reading “Streusel”

Peace

I went up to the mountain so lofty and so high, Where the bombs have never fallen and the children do not cry. I saw the devastation, wrought by foolish men, And all I had to offer was some paper and a pen. I scribbled off a note, don’t know what I wrote, Oh, whatContinue reading “Peace”

Angel Eyes

Did you ever fall in love, by the candlelight, with only the flicker, to drive away the gloom? Lost in the beauty of, an angel in the night, and drifting ‘round her, the aroma of perfume. Were you still afraid, when the mariachis played? Looking at those eyes, how did they tantalize? Did your marchContinue reading “Angel Eyes”

Boxcar Bill

Boxcar Bill He showed up in a boxcar, got off soakin’ wet, if you thought he’d go far, you mighta’ lost that bet. Bill had hit a hard spot, and he was in a bind, his future was for naught, ‘twas messin’ up his mind. Then he took to drinkin’, a little, then a lot,Continue reading “Boxcar Bill”

Ragweed

‘Tis the season to be sneezin’ all about, And the reason for the wheezin’ ain’t in doubt. All the pollen that is fallin’ is makin’ me so blue, I’m a-crawlin’ while I’m bawlin’, then I go. “Hachew!” Now I must confess, my hanky is a mess and I’m hackin’ like a fool, Lungs are inContinue reading “Ragweed”

Necropolis of Steel

Lined up in a row, nowhere left to go, it’s a tale of woe, after their last tow, All have got some rust, from sittin’ in the dust, take some parts I must, before they all get crushed. That Mercury is nice, the Packard’s got some mice, if I had the price, the Gremlin wouldContinue reading “Necropolis of Steel”

Humble Al’s Grenade

We called him “Humble” Al, I was proud to be his pal, No matter what went down, you could sure depend on Al. In Sixty-Five we sailed off to war while playin’ Crazy Eights, Not knowin’ where or when we’d ever see the states. His weapon was a solder gun, the .45 is just forContinue reading “Humble Al’s Grenade”
