Dogs vs Women

Why Some Men Have Dogs, Not Wives:


1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you.

2. Dogs don't notice if you call them by another dog's name.

3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor.

4. A dog's parents never visit

5. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across.

6. You never have to wait for a dog; they're ready to go 24 hours a day.

7. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk.

8. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing.

9. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, If I died, would you get
another dog?

10. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away.

11. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a
pervert.

12. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don't get mad. They just
think it's interesting.

13. Dogs like to ride in the back of a pickup truck.


And last, but not least:

14. If a dog leaves, it won't take half of your stuff.

ABANDONED HOUSE, BUFFALO MOUNTAIN:

a sad, abandoned country house
withers upon it's tiny hill,
what once protected, now is open,
and winds blow through the broken window sills;

deeded now to bird and mouse,
to spiders and to who-knows-what,
sagging porch and empty rooms,
a kitchen wall with grease still spattered

from someone's long-past breakfast,
beside this crumbling kitchen door
children played and pattered,
laughter, cries, -- prayer

used to fill this air.
No more.

ancient glass fragments, and
something like putty on the floor,
a frying pan, pieces of a shattered crock,
and --did someone throw it?-- a rock.

outside, a rusted plow, and this rubble
that might once have been a wagon,
nearer the house, lesser artifacts:
a medicine bottle, a shoe,

like the kin of those who strove here
-- scattered.

sunset and sadness come
as I stand among the runes,
trying to honor
something that mattered.

'Effluvium'

When a bowel is dense and turgid
the sphincter flutters, [ it is urge-ed! ]
struggles, relents, and finally passes
a tiny cloud of noxious gases.

Caesar, Brutus, Marc A and Cassius,
every single Roman --Gaseous!
Garbo, Monroe, and Mork's sweet Mindy
None escaped -- ALL these were windy!

Since ‘The Fall’, our recompense:
mortal man has flatulence

EDITORIAL OPINION: 'TEABAGGING 4.15.09'

The tea-baggers included many of the haters, conspiracy theorists, and racists that Fox News and the right-wing talkmeisters have been determinedly stirring up since before the November election.
The Republicans have truly become the 'Repugnants' ---a shrinking band of hateful sore losers!

WHAT WILL THEIR LEGACY BE?

What will future generations think of our current (and recent) political leaders who cannot find the will or courage to stand against Zionism's capture of the American political process?
Bill Clinton? Hillary? Alas, they and hundreds of U.S. Senators, Congressmen and others will be seen as having been collaborators and stooges. As having been the willing tools of zionists in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. They will be seen as having surrendered America's real interests as they tripped over each other in their grotesque fawning over Israel and the Israel Lobby.
Only one recent political figure stands out who will avoid the harsh judgement of history. That person, of course is Jimmy Carter.
And what of Barack Obama?
We shall soon see if he is cemented into the ranks of those who enabled Israeli ethnic cleansing and colonialism or if joins the lonely Mr. Carter.
Meanwhile, I salute the progressive Jews and gentiles who are fighting the good fight for justice in the Middle East.

'Still Single After All These Years'

No great career or monuments,

a simple single life,

inconsequentially I've lived

(no doubt for lack of wife!)

Oh, I've known women --had my woes,

but I ran away from joining,

for this I took their many blows

--a few in fact, this morning,

from women scorned and weepy

who wanted to be joined,

from lovely ones, --and creepy--

 whose feelings I'd purloined,

I've battled to stay free, you see

till my brow's a sea of creases,

but as my little life runs down,
and spirit flesh releases

I'll take the blows I have to take

[ their fury hasn't ceased! ]

and one claim I can proudly make:
I'm lashed, but  I'm not leashed.
