June-ish Thoughts

Trees bask
in the Basque region
in revenues rich
in sun & rain.

* * *

The cardinal's face
is black-bearded as Pio's
with a red-fin'd head
as if part fish.

* * *

Liberals and conservatives
see the earth as they see human nature:
either infinitely malleable
or utterly impervious.

* * *

An egg-headed egg-head
went on Colbert
and declared his belief in God
- the god of human genius -
which is like confusing a bicycle with a fish.

* * *

Robins stay well-grounded;
They keep close to their food source.

* * *

The unmown yard decreases
with each clipped row;
what started out as chore
I long to prolong.

* * *

The park at noon is filled
with the young & the old
in a pleasing diversity
before diversity became a dirty word.

* * *

The Rose is the Budweiser of flowers,
the King of Buds,
but of higher maintenance.
