Lukey, slurp!
Lukey, nibble!
Lukey, burp!
Lukey, dribble!
Slurping, nibbling,
Burping, dribbling,
Doings of my
Youngest sibling.
Word, like wind, cuts through you / Withers all but true you

Doings of my

Have you ever heard of that fine hummingbird,
Miss Daisy Muzaffer Susannah the Third,
She hummed and she minged, oh the joy that she bringed
To the tulips that smiled and the bluebells that ringed.

Stuff your mouth, bulge your cheeks,
Fly down south for sixteen weeks.

Old Dame Rehmet weaved a tale
Like no one in her time,
With flying turnips, itching queens
And demons speaking rhyme,
She told them all in different voices
And the wildest costume choices.

Bubba Brickle liked to tickle
Little children’s toes,
They socked his eye and made him cry
Till snot ran out his nose.

Gulls swoop.
Dodge poop.
Fish bite;
All right!
Pike soup for dinner tonight.

It’s wet,
It’s sweat.
It’s not;
It’s snot.

Light me a chulha
For my handsome dulha;
I made him hot chai
But he prefers it coolah.

Every so often I take off my glasses
And reach for a scrap that is clean,
I polish one lens, and then do the other,
And wonder how dirty they’ve been.
