bon appetit

if it comes in a can
or it comes in a jar
i can make it myself
which is better by far

i hate to be picky
i hate to be rude
but packaged nutrition
is not really food

it's bad for ya, dude!

it's loaded with sugar & salt & with fat
you really don't want to be eating all that

thanx to liam ryan

sitting in a drafty cage
of concrete floor and iron bar
the chimp is staring back at me
i stare at him

i stretch my arm one finger crooked
and he to meet it does the same
we touch in greeting, nod hello
unable to exchange a name

but apes & humans never know
the good that all their faces show

venus & a very new moon

silver sliver & scintillant star
sparkling sisters rising at sunset
cycles meeting for millions of years
watching i share in the dance from afar

let me decide what i believe

where did all these people come from
telling me what jews believe
none of them are family
all of them should leave

Sense and Nonsense about Jews and Jewish Belief

who says there's no such thing as bad publicity

don't fret
its just an epithet
we should feel we're in their debt
that they haven't forgotten about us yet

Epithet with a Pedigree

our own way

pain
not despair
and anger
not rare
the usual battles we fight

winning by day
for all of their jealousy
holding them off
through the long cold dark night

we need to remember
to play to our strengths
and never discuss giving way

we need to think only of our own people
whatever our enemies say

dreaming

By what right
do the creatures of the night
take up their residence inside my head?

They have no business screaming
when I'm sleeping, maybe dreaming,
and they're all just wisps and very likely dead.

I wish they'd go away,
but it seems they choose to stay.
I think they're hiding underneath my bed.

wings, migrating

peace on earth
and joy above
the skies aswarm
with flights of love
as flocks of birds
who wheel and soar
preserve the line
of dinosaur

and life goes on
as ages turn
however much
we slash and burn

the lords of air
whom we extol
as if we care
who seek the goal
of tropic shore
or northern pole
but miss their share
of lands we stole

twilight of the dogs

it isn't a sin
to pander to
the beast within

but when we let him
out to roam
is when the chickens
all come home

toys of the taliban

Boys of the Taliban

Where is there an Arab Freud
to study what his men enjoyed
in view of what they all employed
since real life gets them so annoyed?

Freaks and weirdos, all repressed,
sodomites, with some cross-dressed,
see their hidden women as an alien pest.

As their culture shows itself to be so void,
by their own hands they will be destroyed.

Rejecting Islam would be best.

that's the news

What's happening around the world?
Fighting rages, bombs are hurled?
Diplomats exchanging views?

The United Nations
shows great patience
with anyone but Jews.

And that's the news.

again

spinning through the void
the days that we've enjoyed
cycle round again

once more each name and number
interrupts our slumber
clicking off each midnight just like when

spinning through the void
the days that we've enjoyed
cycle round again
