A moderne of the name Celia Trent
caught all eyes at a Soho event,
but her parachute pants
caught the wind; and in France
they still talk of her sudden descent.

A confidence man on the street
was well-versed in the art of deceit:
while he snowed marks with hype,
their chattels he'd swipe
with abnormally prehensile feet.

Leaving job, home and all else behind,
Algie wandered the wide world to find
a suitable island
to re-domicile and
cultivate true peace of mind.

When young Tom his new loafers defiled,
his mom cussed so loud, blue and wild
the whole neighborhood heard;
ain't it sad and absurd
when a parent acts worse than her child?

Details altered for personal ass-covering, though we've witnessed such scenes all too often.

Honey buttons down my collar,
bids me stand a little taller,
refolds my suit coat handkerchief,
evens the Winsor knot, as if
these touches proclaim, "A scholar!"

A vain fashionista from Tyre
had her hair lacquered into a spire,
but a stray blunt (she claims)
sent her coif up in flames!
Now she's no tresses left to admire.

fog lifts, tides recede
along the shore kelp, scuttling crabs
shades of sand castles

A self-taught stonecutter from Brickle
had chipped himself into a pickle:
upon a crypt's portal
he'd carved the immortal
Grim Reaper with hoodie and sickle.

Llewellyn, that old axolotl,
sits cleaning his pipe of its dottle.
"A bottle, kind barman!
My thirst is alarmin';
if lager won't cure it, then what'll?"

Diving board tadpole: all hush—
hanging ten, quelling tears and fear
with stalwart resolve; the moment's near—
vaults off…

Bellyflop!—but what a rush!

#Limerick

One morning I was up at daybreak
When nobody else was awake.
I was out of line,
In bed, I felt fine,
And earth instantly stopped the quake.

#Limerick II

When Jenny felt awfully jaded,
Ideas of escape soon cascaded.
Upset she soon faced
How they all lacked taste.
She ran out of steam and was aided.

#Limerick I

Of water afraid, Jim didn't drink
In Summer his face turned all pink
There was no escape
To steam he would take
Upset 'bout what people should think.

This night, after too many drinks
our furphilic hero bethinks
of erecting low villas
for rescued chinchillas
and ermines and martens and minks.

Oh pity this corpulent mole:
grew too stocky to slip down his hole,
for he hadn't the vigor
to dig it all bigger;
met an unpretty end—bless his soul.
