If Wishes Were Horses

If wishes were horses

Than beggars might ride

Then men would not intend

To be as lions

Vanquishing another’s pride

If wishes were horses

Than beggars might ride

Then men

Would be the Emperor penguin

Braving the winter cold

To stand by his hatchling’s side

If wishes were horses

Than beggars might ride

Then sin

Would vanish in the wind

Crushed by eagles talons

As they fly

If wishes were horses

Than beggars might ride

Concern for Mother Earth and all of her inhabitants will be applied?

International Universal laws will all abide?

The war-making cause to subside?

If wishes were horses

Than beggars might ride

Then men would be heaven sent

A wonderful present!

And the violence would subside

Black Friday

When the dark moon arises

And the neon signs 

Beckon you to stare 

Do you venture out 

Into this strange 

Consumer shopping world 

Where ravenous shopping zombies 

Await if you dare

It is only for the very bold 

And strongest 

Those who can get pushed around 

Without the slightest of care 

But if you make it through 

This frenzied aisled gauntlet

There awaits mega riches 

Beyond all compare

You have waited all year 

For this precise moment 

Through many hardships 

You have struggled 

Yet survived

You will prevail! 

Set your sale

Ladies and Gentleman

Bon Voyage! 

Black Friday

The Shopping High Day 

At last

Alas has arrived!

Flies

Imagine being surrounded 

By flies

Big surprise 

I surmise

Now Imagine 

Being getup 

In a doo-doo disguise

Which wouldn't be wise

Seeing that your surrounded by flies

Of various size 

With Big Eyes 

That Multiplies

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!

Does anyone hear my cries!

Blackbeard

Aye here's a man

Plenty were moved to beseech

You didn’t want to meet

On your day at the beach

The Americas were all

Within his Reach

He spilled more Blood

Than a Million Carnivorous Leech

Goes by the Name of Edward Teach

The Royal Land of Britain

Is Where He was Reared

For all Seafarers Very Feared

Soil your Bottom’s

If it’s His Name You Heared

The Long-braided Pirate

Who was known as Blackbeard

Spring Forth Thine Glory

Why have you forsaken us?

O season of bloom

What manner of transformation 

Do you seek?

Your concealing actions

In these cloud swept skies

Speaks to deception my Lord

As your humble servant

I beg of you

To please return 

To your former constitution

Which bringeth not only I

But the beasts of burden 

And all the buzzing creatures

Plus the wondrous soaring birds

Swooping in like rabble-rousers 

To a long lost love!

Happiness!

Hear our cries

O season of hope

And bring forth your glory

Your Manifest Destiny

To bring life and sustenance

To us all

Pay You Say

Pay

By the way

Is strictly passe!

Overheard by the overworked toiler in the uptown cafe

Be above the fray! 

Exclaimed the banker as he ordered his cheese souffle'

Don't bray!

Horses eat hay

Their job is to run 

While others 

Sit on the foal's back 

For play

Imagine their day!

Barry Bonds 

Witchhunt cons

Sold out tickets 

Make owners fond 

Money bags 

Pennant flags

Baseball's back

On Sports Illustrated mags 

Homerun chase

Time to contemplate

Adoring fans 

Now say 

Your a National Disgrace

Commissioner too

Crying the Public Boo-Hoo 

Used the breaking of Aaron's record 

To advertise the brew

No more dough 

Let's dull the glow

On this sordid 

Major League Baseball 

On steroids 

Hypocrites Sideshow

MAGA despises undocumented immigrants

Free agents? 

Lickety-split!

They'll sign Sadahuru Oh!
