A bear walked into a bar and said can I have a cola and a…..........whisky

He rose early
before the sun
to hoe and toil
under true stars
a simple man
beneath the vines
of his grey yard
he chewed straw
and turned his
thoughts to
women
children
delights
he had
not known
in all these days
that had passed
with fruits
and flowers
known only
to his birds
his companions
was he yet
not worthy
of Venus
he mused
for I shall sing
the song
of the grave
before Venus rises
unto me
he sang
yes I shall sing
the song
of the grave
before Venus rises
unto me

What a wreck of a week
If only I hadn’t taken a peek
The ground beneath me feet
Noting but sleet
You sniffed me around
like a hound
following me around
I tried to run
You knocked me down
dragged me through the mud
Twisted me around
looked me in the eye
Said today you won’t die
you wanted my soul
I never felt so cold
I would never give my soul to you
Truth be told
You’re nothing but
A dirty old troll

I love openly with my heart,
like a gushing river free and unbound ...
But this is not a dance I can do alone ...
I hear it say from deep within
with a sad sigh and muted moan ...

Surely, I was not born to give so much ,
only to end up with a lonely empty space beside me ...
Surely, not only in books and movies
exists such ...
I still believe it is so ... and to be ....

Upon reading Viggo Mortensen's words
about living with his longtime partner in Spain ...

(" I feel happy living there , because she's the woman
I love. I am totally hers and I'm delighted.")

I realize such unashamedly romantic,
intensely devoted men still exist ...
With nothing but everything to gain,
to live with your chosen love
and find it utmost fulfilling,
not, therefore, in this lifetime,
impossible to attain ....

What more can a loving woman
    desire to hold in her heart beating...
No other than exactly words from a man 
    such as these ....
to turn into warming sun ....
      the seemingly relentless rain ....
And never more to wrestle
    with such  musings and questions
        now nor ever again ...

Once upon a time there was an imaginary land
With imaginary women and imaginary men
And long ago when I was a little boy this is what an old man told me
He told me about the mighty men of moley moley

They were like super hero's stronger than Hercules and Superman
They stood so tall they placed rainbows in the sky
And when the people asked for the rest of the day to be clear and dry
The clouds were parted with just the wave of a hand

There was always peace and harmony the women there sang so beautifully
No other kingdom ever dared to talk of war the old man could say no more
But the look in his eyes maybe it wasn't imaginary what he told me
And now it's left to me to tell the story of the mighty men of moley moley

More are rightly questioning Sports authenticity
increasingly shameless in their blatant duplicity
Greed the only thing to blame
integrity canceled for fortune and fame

Goodell proclaimed "without blacks no football"
'Fake News' from crooked Woke screwball
Accomplishments today doesn't equate to legit
past and present together doesn't fit

Most debated is who's Basketballs g.o.a.t
many uneducated people insert their vote
Jordan escalated the arrogance of showboating
he's the G.O.A.T some keep promoting

The true complete player defines G.O.A.T
that crown ONLY ONE can tote
racism always gets injected without basis
I'm simply being real not racist

Obvious from all seen and heard
THE G.O.A.T. IS Larry Joe Bird
Total agreement is where I'm at
to quote Bannon 'suck on that'

What good are all your millions Joe, if you have to pee and you can’t go!

mad dogs and roses
spines and scent
cutting through
baked hot days
without shade
for I once was
in a distant city
and I dreamt of
Moorish courtyard gardens
streaming fountains
women in hijab
talking lightly
the sun cuts
noon blue
the road
that folds
beyond
bares no
sound
for all
must rest
under the zenith

So,we live in a world where nothing is true, all you ever thought, well, its not real, its your imaginary you, Hitler was never here, we don't have a history, nothing to fear, so, they wipe out the past, reinvent it all, we don't have a say, it's their call, once there was you, once there was me, but now, well, my friend identifies as a tree! REALLY! It's hard to figure out, what it's all about, I think it's time, Over and out!

I can't travel to a far away land
But I can do online shopping once a week
I'll never get a chance to sing with a country band
Nashville will never call me to come and live on easy street

I can't go out on a date with a rich woman if you know what I mean
So I stay home instead
They say you're never to old to dream
But I dream alone in my bed

Early morning bring the sunlight through my window on my favorite spot
I'll be in my chair waiting to take a drink of coffee for it will still be too hot
And then the only thing I will think of that would be kind of neat
I can do online shopping once a week
