The Wall of Ignorance to celebrate the Apprentice American Idol President!

O’ Celebrity Billionaire Surround Us with your Opulence!

Make Thee Me O Great Human Money God!

Let each wall panel divest us from all of our ills!

The Concrete in our Holy Trump Wall will stand as a monument for time immemorial of how an enlightened people brought forth a magical solution to all that ails the American Dream!

Your fame and fortune doth speak forth truths from the vestiges of your Material Blessings!

Fire Me! Fire me! Superior!

And let me bake in your thrilling aura!

MY FRIEND

I am in the Cloud

My personal place in quantum space

Shining proud!

When you think aloud

Of things with delightful sound

You will find me

Imagining a better way of life

For us all

Just as the smoke gently wafts into the ether

The correspondence from an old friend

Can bring warmth from the fever

The rings of smoke

Shalt form a spectre

One day you will give a lecture

Or write a song

About a dear friend you once knew

Long long ago

An erstwhile Poe

A ray of sunshine

The whiff of an ambrosial eaux

The days of yore when you my foe!

Your work must laugh

Dance

Smile

Argue

Fight

Play

Laugh

Sing

Reminisce of everything

Omit not one feeling that was once dearly spent

And I will always remember you

As my true friend

HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY

I had a strange and wonderful dream

It was in a land all filled with emerald green

A bag-piper appeared

Wearing an enormous ring

He sang to me

I’ll take you to my King!

Along a lush viridescent and rainy terrain

With grass as luscious as golden grain

A great verdant castle did we confront

Guarded by a big eared little runt

He opened up the pearly gate

Admonished us for being late

There was a great big hall

Entertaining a giant feast

When all went silent

Both man and beast

A figure appeared

Why it was the King!

Oh! he was such a little thing

All bowed as he stood up

And in a loud voice his little lordship did say

The time has come for all of us to pray

With joy to all and to none dismay

I wish all Earthlings

And living beings

A Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Lil Bit O’ Luck and a Blustery St. Pat’s

Photo by Vlad Cheu021ban on Pexels.com

Twas a blustery day

On St. Patty’s

I went looking for my Pot O’Gold

From Astoria

All the way to Tipperary

I brought me Bud’s

And me other friend Rheingold

When at last

I was feeling a wee weary

And the trail seemed to be getting quite cold

A Leprechaun!

Named Lil’ Bit of Luck

Suddenly left me quite cheery

With the monumental story of riches he told

The Lil’ Lad said in a vision

You must hurry!

Before the last darned ducat is sold!

Dancing a jig

That he called

Mega Millions!

He swore my Jackpot

In cursive tone

Hath been created!

From down yonder super-natural kaleidoscope

Straightaway I ran as fast as I could muster!

The winds were a-howling with bluster!

Scraping my legs from the thorns in the thicket

No more pain!

Promised again and again

The Great Money Spigot

When Holy Begorrah!

Stood a fabulously formed rainbow!

Perfectly centering the arch stood a tree

Jesus Mary and Joseph!

There was dangling a ticket!

Blowing in the breeze

All Night I dreamed of exorbitant riches!

Of new cars!  A big house! And some new fancy britches!

I could barely wait to consume the Daily News

My excitement!

Propelling me forward

Awake from my slumber!

I was aghast

My heartbeat fast

As I soon discovered

The Lotto clerk smirked knowingly

At the results uncovered

I had not even hit one blasted number!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Ladies and Gents

I come bearing full my compense

For all of my misgivings

Causing reader repents

Upon further review

The message I was trying to construe

At times crossed over boundaries

that originate in the pew

Fortwith presently I swear

Forswearing manner seen debonair

I shalt tone down the rhetoric

Whilst maintaining it’s flair

To those in the know

Whispers abound my style has begun to plateau

This has filled me with anguish

And tempestuous woe

From my hedonistic head

to my calloused big toe

My blessed constitution moves forward

Yet forcefully with no fear

For my resolutions

With some substitutions

I shalt devoutly adhere

As we embark on this journey

To the 2026 frontier

I wish all of you Good Tidings

And a Happy New Year

As a cat poised to spring on some unsuspecting mice

A gambler blowing on some lucky dice

A race car driver speeding around the turn

A straight right delivered by “The Hitman” Thomas Hearns

An astronaut stepping on the moon

Frank Sinatra making the ladies swoon

A chocolate wrap delivered by Eminem

An archaeologist finding a hidden gem

A hippy taking a psychedelic

A monk watching over a religious relic

These things infiltrate my brain

When I’m wanting you to press the “LIKE”

MY INTERNET BILL

I’m filled to the brim with sadness

This day is filled with rue

I’ll have to move along now

My Internet bill is overdue

I go away with mixed emotions

It is with you

D. Ditty got his start

Bringing you

Dear Readers

All his poems

Ruminating on things from his heart

I’ll cherish my Facebook days always

My joyride with you all

Has been such a thrill!

Until we meet again

All my Dear Friends

Unless you can pay my bill?

These ends portend

A transcendent

Extended!

Appealing Existenz!

Rhyme ditty filled!

THE DRUMBEAT MARCHES ON

The Drumbeat Marches On

Tell your President

Bought off Israeli Politicians

And overzealous ICE Police

We just want the exploitation

of the 99% to cease

This is America

We come to demonstrate

In peace

We are as angels

Whilst you are acting as a beast

We have had enough!

Of your money making sleaze!

We Want Opportunity!

Health Care!

Taxes on the Corporations and the rich!

No more wars for oil slicks!

We Will not Acquiesce!

The Rich Corporations Wall Street and Big Banks

Are enjoying their Feast

While the Drumbeat Marches On!

From Points North West South and East

THE GREEN MONSTER BEAST

Everyone and Everything

Was trembling of the Beast

He’d rip you up

Pull out your gourds

And settle in for his Feast

For all the Winter Trails

His Name avails

As the Traveler to meet Least

So with open eyes

And in Great Peril

I must Surmise

I packed my Guns to leave

I went on Safari for my prize

To the Lands that hold the Green Monster

East

Blood chilled cold!

Upon first Sight

Was filled with Fright

But was Astonished

At what I did See

The Green Monster Beast

Fixed his great eyes on me

My first defense was to cry out!

For a Priest

It was then I realized

With great surprise!

It hadn’t any teeth!

Blinding fear!

Had completely left out

This possibility

TIME

If yesterday is gone

and tomorrow yet awaits

Then is today just an illusion

In time and space

My mind creates

If all my memories are recalled

From past and different times

Is it me that I am thinking of

Or of someone who occupied my mind

If in the future I have plans to fix

These obstacles that are in my midst

How can I in the here and now

When tomorrow does not yet exist

If now is ever changing

Steadily sweeping

Future into the past

Then is time

Just but an illusion

And I an underappreciated actor

In it’s cast
