eating sour candy is like

a roller coaster;

the drop into the mouth is the ride up.

the bite is the culmination,

the chew is the fall

down,

down.

swallow and it's over,

but the thrill remains

a pulsing beat

in your stomach, in your throat

and you yearn to go again

He wears a beige skirt and fedora hat

He has a dog, his dog Lily, 

Plays off leash-

Three year old, a rescue

Splashing swashing dashing

Purling dribbling running bubbling.

A tremendous Great Danes, black and soft

Majestic, black beauty

Eliza, Charlie, Rooster, and Ferris.

Ferris by the lake with Lily

Plashing rippling lapping trickling

Brighten the corners,

Shady Lane

Or would the last do

It seemed all okay

I really was fine

In the light of day

I was sane in mind

Myself with a thin spine

The skies, they're looking g...

You contemplate the birds aloft the cieling's aperture

They adulate your company

Yet you are not a flatterer

If naturally so uppity

Your adulated company

It might be worth a shot

You're usually so uppity

Tonight you're all I got

May be it's worth a shot

The crows commence to caw

Tonight, they're all I've got

Look there- that one's a daw
