Wonderland Card Shark

A Poem by Cy

Wonderland card shark - CG (c) 4 May 2008

I say what I mean
mean what I say
that's how I greet each new day
although I'll take advantage of a used day if need be
that's the way I see it all
come chaos, high water or time delay(how much could we hold back if such a thing resided in our minds, eh?)
double down in a game of strip "Old Maid"
where you can show winners more than a willing smile
devilish look in your eye if you're one of a beautiful
losing style---oh the colors of clothing pieces that take off in a breeze!
second hand emotions
backwater tears
stand your ground---no fears!
glowing of prespiration as it runs through make-up, lipstick,
nilly dilly around those freckles
translucent smiles & ears
make a notice to listen forward
then when you least expect it
hair curling up mind of its own accord
back pocket overalls safe
need the combination?
13 r, um...damn! mind bounce!


hat is definitely too little and won't hold a thought let alone a speech
where is the choir I need to preach to?
Oh! right, we are the church of flora & fauna
Take your shawl and spin around in the moonlight
change your place, let someone else take a turn
release the clothing well worn & humble
yard sale tommy h & prada galore
did I just see you scoot a card up your sleeve?
hide them when you're able---don't be a bore
don't stare at the man at the next table lowfat & lite
you think store bought "b***s" are interesting?
he's got something in his pocket that will make you question your sanity!


hit the floor, run through the door, take off in the air
with nary a care
how did you perform that acrobatic trapeze?
rainbow candy with lots of dye
purple people eater tongue
wait don't play with that gun!
it's the real thing, now run baby run!


be your own cheering section when needed
as you tend the garden when it's weeded
all this self-praise don't let it go to your head
time to hit the hay
time to make your bed
cup of cocoa thrown to the ground
hey bartender, i'm buying the next round!
say good-night to the evening shade.

I'm a seasoned smart-a*s poet, who says what I mean and mean what I say, which on more than one occasion has caused "foot in mouth disease" There's no known cure except to make sure my feet are clean .. more..
