Buffet and a Tip

I ate at a buffet last night
It is called Castle Rock
They have an all you can eat fish
Which is all I can eat on Friday during Lent
It cost me 40 dollars(for me and a friend)
I gave a ten dollar tip
I gave two extra dollars over the 20 percent you are supposed to give
My mom used to be a waitress at Friedman's
It closed down in 2000
The buffet is almost exactly the same
So I got a visit from my Dad last night in a dream
He didn't say anything
But it's been over a year since I last dreamed about him
I got a visit for the price of a gift to a friend and a gift to a waitress

About this poem:
I have to go to my Dad's grave the day before Easter and inter my Mom's ashes above my Dad's grave with my sister and my Dad's two sisters. It sits on a bluff above the city of Dubuque, Iowa. You can see the grave yard and my uncle's flag pole when you cross the Mississippi River going from Wisconsin.

The 4th of July

Fireworks
that's the main way I celebrate this holiday
I spent about fifty bucks on various fountains
The good stuff that goes boom or in the sky is illegal
I also am going to watch Independence Day
The one with Will Smith smacking some aliens
Not Chris Rock
Music is another thing I do
American Made by The Oak Ridge Boys
American Pie by Don McLean
Voices That Care
National Anthem by Whitney Houston
God Bless The USA by Lee Greenwood
wearing my flag socks and Mickey Mouse 4th of July parade shirt of 1998
and
Eating ice cream

Mom

I went garage saleing today
Got some good music
I got a good chocolate chip cookie, though yours were better
I seen a lot of kids who you would have appreciated
Lots of people you would have loved to talk with
You really enjoyed talking with people
I got some lemonade and a book of iconic photos from Life magazine
A VHS of Firestarter with Drew Barrymore, the new one comes out next week
That was my cheapest buy, a dime, thought I also bought Cat's Eye
So I gave him a quarter for both
I seen a pretty flowering tree with pinkish purple blooms
I saw a life size card board cutout of Brett Favre
Lots of nice homes with nice people
You used to live in Lancaster back in early January
Where I went today to go to garage sales
I miss you Mom
I also want to thank you for all you did for me
Warm hugs, warm bed, warm food, and
Warm chocolate chip cookies

East

iron sheet harbour
junks rise and fall
a hard sleep night
on the Orient wall

murder melody
esprit de corps
razor diplomacy
a sliding door

perfumed vixens
tender more
a strangers paradise
in the dragons jaw

The Snake Pit

Carved my three pumpkins
T-rex, Princess Leia, and Alien
Now I am going golfing around 11:30
#6 has a grave yard to the left of the fair way
If you hit one in you leave it
Then around 3:30 I leave for my mom's
I call it the Snake Pit
This may be the last year there for Trick or Treating
I got a call from my sister saying she wants to put mom in a home
Mom has dementia as well as a grandson who has drained her savings
There is nothing left to pay the bills
I turned them down when they asked me for money
I had already paid a third of my Dad's funeral which was about three grand
So will she let me stay and give out candy or send me packing?
All I can do is try
Try once again to survive The Snake Pit!

About this poem:
My sister is doing basically what we did to Japan in 1945, getting revenge for neglect of her and her children and grandchildren by taking mom out of her home and away from her grandson and greatgrandson, and her great granddaughter, when she is brave enough to visit.

Snow

We had our first real Christmas snow today and yesterday
I should have gone out and made something out of it
I made a snowman back in November
I made a Rudolph pumpkin carving on December 1
I etched it so when you put a light inside it glows orange-red
Around Rudolph
It should stop snowing around one in the afternoon
In a snowstorm dumping five inches on 2,000 square miles
Which is about the size of Grant and Iowa County, Wisconsin
There are 5 quintillion snowflakes
That's a 5 followed by 18 zeros.
A cubic foot of snow contain about one billion crystals
If you watch The Grinch Who Stole Christmas(Jim Carrey)
It takes place on a very small part of a snow crystal
Other movies with snow and ice
Frozen, where Elsa can create ice and Olaf from her majic
Frosty the Snowman who comes to life with a hat and then a kiss from Crystal
Groundhog Day where Phil knows it's tomorrow by the snow on the ground
The Shining where Jack is frozen in the cold hedge maze
And The Thing where an alien preys on people in the snowy Antarctica

Bali (Trip 1 - circa 1990)

Well so it was the plane was born aloft -
Goodbye Sydney (if only for a week).
Tarmac vanished as up into the soft
Clouds the big bird flew (we felt like sheikhs) -
Not like jaded jet setters (who did this oft);-
So happily we settled in our seats; -
Five mates from QANTAS - and of course was me -
(The author of the poem that you now read).

At twenty-two, the blood's a lot more racy -
Unlike a good red wine (matured in vats); -
Accordingly, my verse will be more pacey -
Not Gothic all (like castles full of bats).
Fluff-white clouds in contrails of white tracery
The plane a dart conveying young root rats; -
In ways quite similar to Spain's Ibiza
(At any rate, the plane sped through the ether).

Six hours of flight - now coming into view -
Our destination end of this flight path; -
(No doubt the hosties and the other crew
Were grateful for the respite) the aircraft
Sallied through the tropic air below -
Descending now quite quickly (for and aft).
And having now have flown just so far
Touched down on the strip at Denpasar.

The tropic air - it hit us like a furnace -
(The dry season is mid to late December)
Wherein these climes the Sun will surely burn us
(If the sunscreen we do not remember).
Customs were cleared - the airport now behind us-
Thus six young men - who newly now made friends were.
We were bound for cheaper hotel rooms -
(Later Bintang beer and magic mushr**ms)?

Out now on the piss (and this was typical)
Of other days to follow that one night.
Serving like a kind of analytical
Introduction to the secrets of the night.
A story I now tell - so listen up you all -
(I wish not gentle muse to now a fright).
Though basically such pickup skills at Kuta:-
Get pissed with a sheila - and then r**t her.

This brings me to the climax of my story
Or many yet to come as you will see.
Young love in all its raging steamy glory -
An Aussie girl (called Robyn) by the sea.
Drinking at a nightclub made us h*rny -
(Both sinking six or seven beers with glee).
Thus commenced our loving by the ocean -
With perfumed oils - that she wore - as a lotion.

The nights that followed were without result -
(Though not for lack of trying on my part).
And reading now my stars in the occult -
I see the perils - of following - your heart.
Well maybe in those stars there is a fault; -
Though I must say (as I soon depart) -
The last girl was a local - called Renee -
So for one night - t'was money I did pay.

My neck the morning after nibbled raw -
(At least I wasn't bitten by a monkey).
Other parts - suffice to say - were also sore -
(So moving right along now with my story).
You may say that this behavior you deplore -
(Though what I say is typical of Bali).
Six young men with tans - and with sunburn -
To Sydney now reluctantly return.

Monster Powers

Djinn, gets power from wishes, but always twists them to hurt the person wishing for something, then steals their soul, the one who releases a Djinn can grant him power over all souls if they ask three wishes.

Leprechaun, gets his power from his gold coins. If you find one of his coins, you get any wish you want, but the Leprechaun will try to kill anyone who takes his gold.

Gypsy( From Drag Me To Hell), can send you to hell in three days if she curses some object you own. Up to being dragged into hell, you will be tormented by demons who show up randomly and more often the closer to your departure to hell.

Pinhead, has the power to take you to hell to be ripped apart by giant fish hook attached to chains. He can only harm you if you open the box, with the help of his fellow Cenobites.

The Blob, starts out as a small bit of goo, but grows bigger as it eats more people. It is able to completely eat a person in seconds as it completely covers them and then begins dissolving their victims.

Damien, this child has the power of evil and will kill anyone who might harm him. Being the son of the devil, he will grow up to destroy mankind.

Alien, after attaching itself to a human host, the alien will pop out of the victims chest and then molt a few times to become a big killer with acid spit, protruding teeth, and a whip-like tail.

About this poem:
Just a few of the monsters in some of the movies I watch during the Halloween season. The last movie I watched is Halloween III, about an evil factory owner who makes Halloween masks to kill children.

Presents

What would I want to have if there were no limits on me?
Santa would have a majic sack to give them all for free
A new porsche would be great
Along with a daily meal of steak
A round of golf anywhere on the planet each week
My own jet that would be sleek
A end to any kind of work
No more hanging out with a boss for a jerk
Skiing in Switzerland would be nice
Having my own studio where I could carve some ice
Friends to play video games with me
They would even want to go ski
A girlfriend who is nice and hot
She would be excited to get what I've got
Peace, love, and joy would be my daily feeling
Away from me hate, jealous, and fear that keeps me reeling
Lonliness would be a thing of the past
As well as perfect teeth that would last and last
The ability to eat anything without consequence
The desire to live free and take a chance
The ability to dance any dance
An endless supply of money
And a woman to wake me up by saying "I Love You Honey!"

About this poem:
The list is endless. I got a newspaper on Thanksgiving and it weighed five pounds. Advertisements for an endless shopping list of great deals. The only thing that left me feeling empty, besides the materialism, was having people work on Thanksgiving.
