Dr's office


on the shelf's upside
is the dr.'s hydrogen peroxide
which rhymes with peptide
on skin it is applied
working the worldwide
put it on the outside
then from the office stride
walking till it's dried
then go see your bride
careful not to collide
with a fast moving double wide

Canoe Poem #3



in the middle of the river the country kid stands on a rock
sipping a beer with the rapids curling around him
its 1999 and his hair is cut shock red
in between sips he tounges the new stud in his lip
he sticks his thumb in the bottle and launches his tattoos
into the pool below
its 1999 and some things never change
(row your boat, Mary Lee
Mary Lee, row your boat to me
and I'll dream you gently
upon my life
gently down the stream)
