Be Careful What You Praise For
There’s praise and then there’s Neuro-linguistic Programming
Because research shows that research works

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
Gone with the finality of hallucination
needs more than a salve
to solve the scourging salvo
commanded by simps
There goes the Whispering Beet
With his good pal, Arty Choke
Gone with the finality
Of a hallucination
Dissipating matter goes
Where all the Bozo's must go
Following Chairman Barney
Formerly green reeds
Eventually succumb to
Become withered reeds
Chimer Chimer Shake
Ouch
my first full size bike
pieced together from spare parts
rolling chimera
a full sized Schwinn frame
spray painted sky blue, leopard
print banana seat
high rise handlebars
a big rear view mirror clamped on
for my first test ride
looking in mirror
and not where I was going
fell off, mirror broke
In the spirit of self promotion I recycled this Haiku Memoir from my homestead Haiku A Day

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
No external tokens of self required
can't see the omen
for the Romans these sad days
a historical
drug resistant infection
gnawing on society
Medicinal health
Hawked ad nauseum over
TikTok YouTube X
no external woo
omen or token of self
required for health
unless a talisman should
turnip under a pebble

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
Thankful for the day
I can spend as I prefer
Basting straw turkeys
Uncanned spam leading
A dearth of distilled data
Learning pollution
Kippy Chiquita
Between the green and the black
There was yellowing
Kippy Chiquita
Wore a fruit basket headpiece
Swore that was her name
A festive Thanksgiving dance
In a flouncy yellow dress
Holiday learning
Prefer finding out about
Old family members
Reading yellowing journals
While spilling new tea gossip

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
Lucky me so far
Boneyard dogs a howling hush
When I whistle by
Insufficient now to stand on
Reflection of a days vibration
Right ear left ear fluctuation
Binaural beating in my brain
Shapeshift morale astral plane
Where now shifts back into a then
Ancient nightingale
Left behind to coming frost
Chirps at final dusk

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
plays it for swagger
not an obvious stagger
from the fright of blight
as the rainbow clock runs down
on his short timed existence
need to stagger the
fleeting peaks of joy to squelch
bombastic waveform
connection timed out
waiting for a single truth
to be forthcoming
Rainbow pot-o-gold
Home Depot home deplore decor
Painted plastic junk
Tasteless tacky faux pas fright
Gauche slapped over ketchup stains

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
Cold winter night stroll
Once safe and warm we revel
As clothes unravel
if it was wrapped right
from the beginning would it
unravel so fast
It's high time we address the relevant in the room
Was the relevant
By being irrelevant
To the reverent
Fireplace stoked with
A well spring of relevance
To unravel myth

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
The world according to cliff notes
Perceiving events through an A.I. lens
A.I. CliffsNotes lens
Fade perception of events
To a fuzzy blur
Though It may be believable
Ultimately achievable
Doesn't make it reasonable
Dunk in the river
Imbibe the faux purity
Wash away the guilt
Repeat as necessary
Drip dry your troubles away
Cry me a river
Imbibe the stream of sorrow
Achievable fade
Nov 22 2025
The Daily Dread
Yesterday
Churn of diffusion
Invest in the confusion
Manic incursion
epoch exemplified
palpable pugnaciousness
puffery personified
measurable meanness
somnambulant stupidity
witless wackiness
decimated decency
hallmark hostilities
The signs of our times
rabbit resplendent
in shimmering vermillion
velveteen onesie
A Scroll Threw Life
