DreamDiet
by Ted L Glines

After fasting for
four long days
(old native shaman stuff)
cleaned out my system
saw visions (woo hoo)
I spent four more days
ingesting chocolate milk
nothing but chocolate milk
(Borden's Dutch Chocolate)
and I felt great
had lost some weight
and when I peed
my water came out clear
and thus I was enlightened
(old native shaman stuff)
(umm bum-bum-bum-bum umm...)
I suddenly realized
my system loved chocolate
gobbled it up
water running clear
(no chocolate particles in it)
losing weight
and after several months
am down to 80 pounds
water still running clear
and the visions
(woo hoo)
I may be growing small
but I am delicious
am writing my will
bequeathing my body
(condensing as it is)
to Hershey's

Drippy Nose
by Ted L Glines

My dog has a long and drippy nose,
it runs ahead where ever he goes,
runny runny runny nose.

I know I'm being a little perverse,
putting something like this into rhyme and verse,
but it surely could be very much worse,
it could be about a pig in a purse!

Or it could be about unrequited love,
and pain that steals the stars from above,
or it could be an ode to a hand in a glove
or a fish or a horse or a little white dove.

-- but  --

It's about my dawg and his snotty nose
which dashes ahead where ever he goes,
dratted dogone runny nose!

I run and I run as fast as I dare,
as he's blowing spots all over my hair.
"But I can't complain," I say with a flair;
in spite of his faults, he just wants to share!

Someone got a doggie kleenex?

Dragons
by Ted L Glines
 
In my little aeroplane
flying way up high,
zooming  through the lands of clouds
so  white and grand and high,
I  fly the cloudy canyons,
swoop  and climb each fluffy peak,
as  the angels gild with lightning
the misty mysteries I seek,
but best of all, the deep blue caves,
the greatest thrill they give,
gliding, turning, deep inside,
for here -- the dragons live,
and when I come back down to earth,
I never say a thing,
they'd  be so vexed and jealous
'cause  I've heard the dragons sing.
