Roll Up

Posted on by Pete 
in shadowy dusk
rolling around in the muck
then passing the buck
Craiyon

Wrapped in the muck of existence
Gives form to humanities persistence
To consume, eliminate, reproduce
Stacking things up in order to deduce
What’s needed on top of the heap
Showing stuff we’ll want to keep
Knowing these too will be swallowed up
In the infinite stream of entropy muck

RDP Monday: MUCK

Having a Swale Ol’ Time

Craiyon
Kindling of A.I. origin
Falsehoods flame the main
Fan with boughs of balderdash
Smoke blinds a cache of cash
Murky waters mottle and schmooze 
Senseless seekers still abuse 
No amount of abluent cleanse
Will wash the historical lens
Cause where there is confusion
Money will be made in profusion 
 
trickle to drizzle
downpour to monsoon gushed down 
twixt lush fertile swale

Brain Streaming

Posted on by Pete

Something I heard in
Grammar School still sticks in my
brain. "That'll learn ya."

This is how my inner streaming stick rolls

Hardly Socratic
Often idiosyncratic 
Sometimes bureaucratic 
Can be dramatic
To overblown panic
Then in full tilt manic
Confused as Satanic
With a hint of tannic
Just erie Shamanic
No need to get frantic

This is what comes streaming out

Busboy asks patron,
"How long have the Olympic 
Games been going on."
I reply uninvited
Two thousand five hundred years

A few chuckles from
the room. Then busboy says ,"I'm 
sorry ma'am, what were 
you saying?" My dates may be 
off ,but I crack myself up.

This is why you can’t take me anywhere
