Seventh Heaven

If 1 Day

is Monday

that’s never 2sday,

and Wednesday

>though midway<

lost 3 in translate.

while Thursday

which sounds trey

is really the 4th

–not Friday

(a free-day)

since that’s 5th

of course.

The 6th day

that sits way

–down in the week

is all about sitting

and “past tense” in speak.

And Son-day

is fund day

for God’s favorite sun,

 

who pulls triple-duty

returning to 1.

Holy Hitching Post, Batman

 

the Penguin

married Poppins–

–and Batman: Dracula,

the first was due,

2 shaded views,

the other

–maculas–

impaired by light

the Darkest Knight

went bats for pointed tooth. . .

 

Wonder Boy

went on to wed

–his Bread–

and what a wedding!

until the toast,

when guests disposed,

of bride with tasteless spreading. . .

(no big surprise)

since super-size

of bride begat baguetting

 

Mr. Freeze

dug

feline sleaze,

–the woman known as Cat

but pose she struck

was frozen stuck

when ice-man dropped to knees,

a sculpture that–

–graced punch bowl at

the rites of fellow thieves. . .

 

the Ridd’lah next,

wrote witty text

for vows employed in lieu. . .

but lost his wife

who failed to cipher

words to say: “I do”. . .

no punchline sung,

from twisted tongue,

just teleprompted clues…

 

yes, Batman and

prime-time brigands

–had lives off TV set–

that packed a punch

¡KAZOW!

(and stunned)

the Joker still on deck.

The Devil You Know

Less is more

an even score

a nifty

fifty-fifty

for

=

disputing

views

on every

front–

half dozen?

No!

More six of one

(omitting Baker’s

sticky buns)

And bird in hand

is awfully

grand,

is fowl stayed

by middle-man,

a finger

zinger

or quill perch–

equivalent

to two in birch,

allowing all to

eff the search.

It follows that

the color black–

is mix of hues

on artist

p’lette,

could well

be white

–affecting squint

adjusting

light

shows other tint

Yes, black is white!

(and true blueprint)

Thus parts of

sum,

return to one

(comprised of six)

and total

from–

the

some of parts

I ref’renced

first

In contradict’ry

string of words

. . .

(and holographic

universe)

Supposed to be Read–Rite?

Make every day Thanksgiving!

with reservations in stolen nations

center your peace

around daisies

you’re not pushing…

polish the silver, and

practice grace

before

eating crow

carving the bird,

seizing opportunity

for

genu’reflection

–but “wine” less,

rite?

since communion

with

you-Christ,

requires a level

of sobriety

that stale crackers

collected on plates

and boxed Pinot

decanted into chalice

–muddle.

 

the Arc of It

Sunny & Misty lived in the blue

–yonder, beyond where

you & me do,

united, the combo arrived

every day,

Mist colored rosy by Sun’s

warming rays,

and after the rise

of rays,

and the rose,

Misty dispersed

on air’ends she’d go…

hov’ring above where Sun liked to stay

–beaming and burning and lighting the day

and as seasons passed

the duo renewed

flowers with showers,

piercing Mist through

with lightning so striking

it traveled on breath,

that Sunny exhaled

deep from his chest,

together as weather they’d fashion

a bow,

a piping of striping to make their

reign glow,

and though some might posit

the dyad ill-paired,

–connected collective

commanded th’ air.

the Trick to Magick

 

magic is unique,

if you want to hocus-pocus

sometimes you have to look at the big picture

–not found in TV stores–

and dig yourself a new hole

. . .

a gofer it hole that may lead to Wonderland

prest*O, change*O

or may damage pipes

–you can’t know until you wave that magic shovel

. . .

(bring duct tape along, just in case)

 

Of course, you might try

bypassing the wardrobe,

and go in through the bathroom window, instead.

Wielding just enough Windex to provide clarity

(to see the neighboring yard)

the greener grass of which is downright Narnian–

–still.

(pack pocket with binocKs, just in case)

 

and if it’s kite-free weather,

and houses are grounded

no woRRies!

(be happy)

There are yet options

–a wind machine dba portable fan works

>in a pinch<

a droptop drive in the country

does the trick in time, too,

–just not a DeLaurean–

(stow a go-bag, when you do, just in case)

 

but the best

second-best

by far

is howling at the moon

since any-where-girl worth her hide knows

you can shortcut it to Oz

~along the rainbow bridge~

skipping black & white altogether

to travel in

Technicolor style

. . .

 

Keep in mind the trees you can’t see

for the forest

have a helluva reach, though,

and if Kansas is your starting point,

bring apple ammo along, also

. . .

you know

. . .

(just in case)

 

Magic 101

when devising incantations,

it’s important to

use a

magic marker

–as scribbling from an ordinary ballpoint

can be a bitch

bic’

and mistaken for “to-do’s”

instead of “ta-da’s!”

 

it’s also advisable

to opt for

Pixie Styx

over

Kool-aid

–when concocting transformative potions–

omitting red dye #5

–and marauding mascots–

they’re a hundred percent less deadly and

empirically more effective,

–if a trifle time-consuming

in the making

(of any significant quantity)

 

it’s best, too,

to mix

black magic

from

every color perceptible

(all 96 Crayolas)

–if dabbling in those arts–

allowing for infinite shades

of grey

to out

. . .

–in the event only part

of your charm comes across.

 

and let’s not forget

the importance

of pulling purely genuine

rabbits from stovepipes

–when such occasions arise–

the stovepipes must needs be ersatz,

–avoiding accidental boiling–

ensuring bunny safety,

and that

your own coif remains intact

–that any hares loosed

are lepus

in genus, not sapien.

 

Finally

balls.

crystal balls.

an IRL bane

–easily broken when bluffing–

they are boon to

second site, however

–the site

Google would list just

down from the top

. . .

if Google

precognized

in pursuit

of pray.
