PSYCHOBABBLE POLKA
I gave a YELP!
They offered me self-help:
So I took
a larger-than-life
dabble; and did
the "Holkie Polkie"
to psychobabble.
Pop Psychology
was the old man's
name; and my
vocabulary's
has never been
quite the same.
Got them triple-whammy,
existential, side step
blues!
(Don't wannna
hear 'em
puttin'
facy words
in my bad news...
Psychobable Polka baby,
psychobabble all night long;
Do them verble shuffles,
TILL I FIND ME A NEW THEME SONG.

THE JIGSAW PUZZLE
You're a jigsaw
puzzle to me.
A thousand broken pieces
that came
in a mixed-up box,
(without as much
as and idea of
your larger picture.)
And, oh--
how I've tried
to put you back together,
once upon a rainy day;
and on a day like today,
when it finally
began snowing...
Yes, just when
I've gotten used
to your chilly
disposition,
suddenly, you've changed
the rules of the game--
and begin
to melt me:
You're a jigsaw puzzle of a glacier in July.

LIVING IN SERENITY:
________________________________________
Tender compassion
is not just
our rhetoric;
it's self improvement.
________________________________________
The candles
are lit
from an
architrave
mantle;
love burns
from
both sides.

FLIPPANT AXIOMS
________________________________________
"Kites--
fly to heaven,"
I tell you
no windy tale:
"They're pretty
high strung!"
________________________________________
Miles of
toothy shore,
sugar-sands
baked at
your door:
(Go see a Dentist.)
________________________________________
The way
of islands...
..is to live
on coconuts,
or holding out
palms.
________________________________________
Diamonds
need people;
for if they both
live long enough,
their setting
was good.
________________________________________
No one can
tell you
the direction
of your heart,
it would be
in vein.
________________________________________
Foresight...
is just
hindsight's
clairvoyant.
________________________________________
No sense in fooling;
gravity will put you down;
so stand-up for yourself.

FLIPPANT AXIOMS
________________________________________
The heart
of mankind,
it means well,
though it's
lacking...
a pump-up
session.
________________________________________
Walking
the shoreline
is an art
that won't
be found
living
in a shell.

AUTHOR'S NOTES:
"Been away...
for well over
a year now,
it's because
my house
burnt down
in warm, warm,
ol' New Mexico;
and so now
I've moved
way, upon way up--
to Oregon to
start all over
again, in life.
Alright now, take care
fine people..."
Thanks &
writer-ly regards,
R.
