This blog is about my life as reflected in rhyming poetry, observations and occasional rants. The title is Latin for "information and errs" or loosely translated "hits and misses." Wilson Arch photo courtesy of James Muhlestein.
Road Trip Companionship
27 Sept 2010
He’s no fuddy-duddy,
My traveling buddy.
Good company and pal,
That’s my close friend Al.
He doesn’t pause or hesitate
When I tell him where to navigate.
While he drives, I prize
The time to rest my eyes.
What? Oh, my stars!
He’s yelling at other cars,
Driving like he’s bit chomping
And irritated at brake stomping.
Looking like court jesters
They’re trading hand gestures,
She gave him the bird as she sped by.
A raised a fist was his irritated reply.
Excrement Remnant
11 Sept 2010
While raking & cleaning up my yard
I came across a dog’s calling card.
Some miscreant mutt had taken a poo,
But by now it was dehydrated doggy doo-doo.
I left it alone hoping rain would be moisturizer
Enough to degrade it into fertilizer.
Circumcision Decision
6 Sept 2010
Parents need to understand there's no obligation
To subject their boys to genital mutilation.
The result is lifetime mental scarification.
It's time to stop this circumcision abomination
And get over denial of harm by the whole nation.
Writhing or Writing
30 August 2010
Rhymes going thru my head
As I’m lying in bed
Trying to fall asleep.
Instead of counting sheep
Out of my chaotic thought river
I have couplets going thru my mind
Examining my vocabulary quiver
Just begging for me to find
A perfect place for them
In a paean or poem.
