No doubt about it
Of this I’m sure
No beating around the bush
Or being demure
The answer’s definite
Clear – not a blur
My answer’s set
Most certainly
To the question you asked
My reply’s “maybe”
Padre
Sure

Forget-Me-Nots
The Worshipful Order of Forget-me-nots
Make memory rings and friendship knots
And though they lack the wealth and fame
Of guilds bigger – you’ll remember their name
The Worshipful Order of Forget-me-nots

Lips Soft
Lips soft
Breath sweet
Eyes gazing into one another’s
As you prepare to sleep
Intimate moments
As man and wife
Cuddling closely
Content for life
Padre
Impromptu
———–
Impromptu, Extemporary
Preparation unnecessary
No rehersal, Not by rote
Not even reference to handwritten notes
Thus is life – if we really live it
Not bound in – by formulaic limits
So as you go about your day
Just let your soul tell you –
What to do and say

Casino Weekend: The Shark
The casual gambler’s nemesis –
Naïve is her projected view
As she folds one hand, and then two
That “butter wouldn’t melt,” it is true
As her chill cold heart prepares for you
Calm and collected she’ll draws you in
And when you’ve wagered all –
Then she’ll win
That innocent demeanour
Is a costume she wears
Just to disarm you
Before she robs you unawares
Padre
Cafe-less
How have we survived it –
A year without cafes?
No freshly brewed “go-juice”
To aid us on our way
Three hundred days of instant
Is no way to face the quagmire of life
Oh please bring back fresh beans to me
And I promise always to be nice
Padre
Therefore
When a sentence says therefore,
Just what is it there for?
What conclusions and assumptions does it bring?
Is the syllogism valid?
Doe it mean what it says?
Or is just a rhetorical thing?
Padre
Tell
Wendy went to her dorm room to find her roommate listening to classical music.
“Hey. Is that the Lone Ranger song you are listening to?” she asked.
“First of all it’s instrumental so it’s not a song. And it’s called the William Tell Overture for your information,” Cynthia replied.
“Wow, what’s got your knickers in such a twist? It’s not like I was trying to shoot an apple off your head or something.”
Padre
Breakers
On come the breakers
Unrelenting – no mercy given
Kings cannot command them
And the coast their savage bite does feel
Though a thing of beauty
Greens and blues tipped with foamy white spray
They, jagged like saw’s teeth
Eat the land away
On come the breakers
No one can resist the tide
Neptune’s assault on Tellus
Sweeps the sands aside

Mr. Clean
“Don’t believe a word he says,” Tayler warned. “His public image is a lie. He is evil to his core.”
“But he’s my uncle, isn’t he?” Milly inquired.
“That makes him all the more dangerous,” the lawyer warned.
“Why dangerous?” Milly asked.
“When your parents died, God rest them, it left you with fifty-one percent of the family fortune. He will play you if he can to make his own power greater.”
“But if he is so toxic, why is he called Mr. Clean?”
“No matter how things appear don’t fall for it. He is anything but clean.” Tayler warned.
The elevator finally reached the 55th floor. As the doors opened, Milly Kleinmann found herself face to face with her uncle for the first time. As she looked into his steely gaze she felt her heart plunge and a shiver run up her spine. It was immediately clear to her that everything Tayler had said was true.
