The Gnome Shroom

Brilliant orange top

in shady dark brown

wasn’t expecting

to see pretty

there on the ground.

Animation in the wilderness

grows a psychedelic

mushroom with finesse.

The Gnome is the King

and if you give him a ring,

he’ll send you a fairy

that is magically inclined.

She is made to spread dust

on people who lust

and she changes the minds

about fat behinds.

Everything is perfect

in Gnomeville.

You can feel big or small

without taking a pill.

Watch out for the toads

and also the frogs,

they are very jealous

and they hide out in logs.

The psychedelic cover

on the very top

guides’ fairies home

when they need to stop.

Refresh and revitalize

their magic powers

so they can go back out

into the world for hours.

Cartoonish this ‘shroom

appeared in front of me,

until I went inside

I couldn’t really see.

All of the funkiness

going on in there,

it was hard to refrain myself

from my awkward stare.

The colors were vibrant

and so very bright;

I didn’t want to leave

this beautiful sight.

The Gnome King offered me

a choice if I wanted to stay,

but I’d never be able

to return back

into the world my way.

Become a fairy

with Tinkerbelle toes,

sprinkling dust

and ideas I shall impose.

So now I live

sharing my magic,

going back

to the real world

would be tragic.

Cookies

I think I want to bake some cookies today and I just can't dedide what kind to make.

A cookie is my favorite treat

Baked up hot they’re so good to eat

Chocolate chip and plain sugar

Drop molasses, peanut butter

Egg Nog rum bites at Christmastime

Fig bars are a preference of mine

Gum drop cookies, all the kids love

Honey nut crunch and turtle dove

If you want to try something new

Just keep reading I’ll share a few

Kahula, just a little shot

Laced with butterscotch, hits the spot

Marshmallow fudge, I could just drool

Nut macaroons are way too cool

Oatmeal raisin, oatmeal pecan

Put them cookies right in my hand

Quick let me get a glass of milk

Raspberry squares go down like silk

Save up the very best for last

Tea cakes with cream disappear fast

Understand there are numerous

Various names are humorous

What’s your favorite cookie snack?

Xylose prevents a heart attack

Yummy cookies in my tummy

Zippy loopy I’m no dummy

The Cake Baked For Jake

I had fun with this one... I was thinking about the house that Jack built when I wrote it.



This is the cake that was baked for Jake.

This is the hour that it took to make the cake that was baked for Jake.

This is the flour that was used in the hour that it took to make the cake that was baked for Jake.

This is the egg that wet the flour that was used in the hour that it took to make the cake that was baked for Jake.

This is the oil that soiled the egg that wet the flour that was used in the hour that it took to make the cake that was baked for Jake.

This is the bowl that held the oil that soiled the egg that wet the flour that was used in the hour that it took to make the cake that was baked for Jake.

This is the dog that licked the bowl that held the oil that soiled the egg that wet the flour that was used in the hour that it took to make the cake that was baked for Jake.

This is the cat that tricked the dog that licked the bowl that held the oil that soiled the egg that wet the flour that was used in the hour that it took to make the cake that was baked for Jake.

This is the rat that distracted the cat that tricked the dog that licked the bowl that held the oil that soiled the egg that wet the flour that was used in the hour that it took to make the cake that was baked for Jake.

This is the trap that caught the rat that distracted the cat that tricked the dog that licked the bowl that held the oil that soiled the egg that wet the flour that was used in the hour that it took to make the cake that was baked for Jake.

This is the lady who yelled “I declare there’s a rat in there!” who found the trap that caught the rat that distracted the cat that tricked the dog that licked the bowl that held the oil that soiled the egg that wet the flour that was used in the hour that it took to make the cake that was baked for Jake.

This is the chair that held lady who yelled “I declare there’s a rat in there!” who found the trap that caught the rat that distracted the cat that tricked the dog that licked the bowl that held the oil that soiled the egg that wet the flour that was used in the hour that it took to make the cake that was baked for Jake.
