FILLING THE CHALICE OF THE VALLEY
*
The dawn sun climbs
beyond range of skylark
His light keeps pouring
into the dark
*
DELL LIGHT
*
The dells are
divinely drunk
on the light
of the sun
*
   
LITTLE NUTHATCH
*
The little nuthatch
his intended did catch
to be his match
near the pumpkin patch
*
BAN PATE
*
Unloose
the noose
from the goose
*
SEMANTIC FALSEHOOD
*
They say they
are field dressing a
deer... actually
they are undressing
a deer... not his clothes
but his skin itself
*
ENABLING CRUELTY
*
Sometimes infinite
patience is the
enabling of cruelty.
If I want to know
what do do I should
ask God
*
DISRAELI
*
When the prime minister
was Disraeli
there were
no Israelis
*
INTERNET OR BOOKS
*
1. Nearly all published books
  kill trees
2. Nearly all published books
   cost money
3. Books take much longer
   to distribute
4. Nearly all books are read
   by only an infinitesimal
   fraction of the population
*

MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS
*
The exhilaration
the exultation
of mountain peak
exhalation
*
NO TORTURE
*
Protector of liberties
Adam Gershowitz
Advocate of torture
Alan Dershowitz
*
HUMAN CRIMINAL
*
Because Captain Ahab
whaled
Neptune's
angry winds wailed
*
EQUAL TO ALL
*
Most of us are
by some chilled
by others thrilled
but our guru the sun
gives equally to
all in each direction
