Yippi ki yi yay
lawn mower rodeo,
she bucks, she stutter jumps
over those poor crawdad holes,
hang on Harry, unfortunate bronco hero,
cutting down that happy growth 12 weeks strong.
He should put a rice patty there.
..Nature always calls the price—
we need to pay the cost:
blisters, bites and salt sweat-tears,
blood-pacts with bugs, aches and wear;
arthritic angst, bruises, cares
then, when we've given everything,
she lavishly concedes—
her bounty's reaped in gold, red, green
in purpled blue, brown, orange, cream—
all creatures fed, life-cycles well-redeemed.
The Princess and the Pea (With Apologies)
It came one day the King would wed
a Princess from 'cross the sea
come to replace one run away that detested giving head,
after many missionary years on the mattress of their bed.
A mattress that seemed a little stiff from the one he'd had before,
abandoned and forgotten by one so sensitive
to say, the old one wasn't proper, a night of sleep left her sore;
now she'd gone, the tick remained, he'd cursed her for a whore.
The new Princess was everything the King could desire,
loved to love and please her liege, vowed to never leave,
but the bedding wasn't proper for a Princess, oh please Sire,
get us another one, softer and a little higher?
..
This is my church;
the earth, a sanctuary,
sky, ever changing grace.
Ground turned w/devotion, love;
above, the sun's godly smile
blesses all those bowed below.
I feed those entrusted to my service,
insects, birds, nervous rabbits, deer,
those that walk beside, here and there.
Dawn and twilight are stained glass windows,
many panes of ever changing hue, shadow;
drawn curtains end my days.
