BEKNIGHTED

*

The sun as his vassal
did beknight
the starstudded and
moonjeweled night..,,
but His presence
is so garbed in light
it hurts the eyes
of beknighted night

*
CRANE
*
Crane,  standing on 1 leg
like a yogi, yet swooping
down to kill

ELEPHANT ELECTROCUTION
*
We know of elocution..
is it also an abbreviation
for elephant
electrocution?

caught a prisoner's bones on fire. He also publicly electrocuted
elephants, dogs and other animals.

in Florida before the state death machine
murdered him. He was considered mentally ill)

TORIES
*
It used to be
there were more
tories
in purgatory
but now both
major parties
support warring
gory
*
BATS IN THE BELFRY
*
Are bats in the belfry
bothered by
the booming bells?
*
MUSCOVY AND TUSCANY
*
There are fewer
musk oxen
killed for their musk
in Canada and Muscovy
fewer boars murdered
for their tusks
in Tuscany.
*
TOXINS AT THE BELL
*
Hidden under the
 label
 of 'natural flavor'
 do Taco Bell beans
 contain monosodium
 glutamate, MSG,
 which breaks down
 brain muscle cells
 and causes brain
 neuropathy?
 *
(Footnote: Ask
 for its removal
 800 TACO BELL

 MSG is the origin of
 the 'chinese restaurant
 headache syndrome' but now
it is in tens of thousands
of items

*
SHRINE SACRIFICE
*
They destroy future forests
 in burning cones of pine..
 the Godcarved little
 Shinto shrines.
 *
* Footnote:
 One factor in postwar starvation
 in South Korea and ongoing
 hunger in North Korea as well
 is the cutting of trees for
 firewood. The Sahara was created
 by Roman empire deforestation for
 ships.
*
SESQUIPEDALIAN 
*
Are clergy from Baptists
to  Episcopalians
and rabbis Australian
in lands marsupialian
more likely to be
sesquipedalian
 *
PENCHANT
*
Wall Street hedge funds
and banksters
have a provable penchant
for stealing from those
vulnerably pensioned
*
LUSTRE
*
Passion can die
.. sent forth from lust-ers
but love is immortal
as is its lustre.
