Vows
she would swear curses
at adversaries she hated,
enemies got bad scrams,
their prospects down-rated
I'd smile, it seemed a joke,
her mother's just the same,
superstitious nonsense,
some daft witches' game
yet was it really so silly,or
was there something to it?
some victims took poorly,
there was never a minute
free of tragic local news,

Broomstick Baby
she used to set me on fire
her eyes lit my every day
that touch a breath of silk

magic slipped into reverse
our love shrinks unspoken
chemistry fell out of kilter

I must end my life and get away from you. Permanently.

If Lewis Carroll Used Spellcheck
“Tea’s grilling, and the sloth’s toes
Did gear and gamble with their wage.
All misty were the biographers,
And the mime rats outrage.”
If Lewis Carroll used Spellcheck,
There wouldn’t be a ‘double Dutch’.
He’d have more literary respect.
He’s just so out-of-touch!
The worst thing is he’s a success!
Had he been typing with his feet?
