Quotes about vet., page 4
At Night
I see you
Walking these streets
At night
Alone and hungry
In search of a meal
I too
Am like you
Though I don’t hide
In the shadows
Sometimes
I pull out one of my cardboard signs
You know the ones
The ones with all the lies
Vietnam vet
Homeless
Will work for food
But what else can I do
I can’t play guitar
Or sing for the life of me
Yet I do get by

Oh Doctor
Alice lies on the slab, she's been examined all over
this doctors name should have been 'Rover'
his tongue hangs from an open jaw
he's in an uncontrolled awe
he's transfixed by her mound of venus
she's aware but doesn't want to make a fuss
'you must be finished by now, doctor, this is not an old sow
don't get excited
you'll be out the door when you get reported
I know how to cool you, you can bet
you'll be transferred to a vet.'

We've Seen It All
Net, wet, met, let, pet, set, vet, jet, get;
He's seen it all and you've seen it all.
Connector,
Points,
And of a large opening!
I've seen it all and you've seen it all;
But your smaller opening is all about the muse of your love.
Into the deep ocean is the muse of your love,
And like the joy of the stars up high above us!
But, i've seen it all and we've seen it all;
Because, this sweet muse of joy is all about your love.

Parasites
my dog was scratching
like crazy and biting
his paws endlessly
i felt his discomfort
its maybe the fleas
the vet has something
to take care of and
squeeze my pocket empty
i smiled at the irony
my precious dog
is lucky to have me
the boy who lives next
door scratches his head
daily and bites his
dirty nails
thought its maybe the lice
feeding on his blood
while his drunken father
and gambling mom

Delay, Deny and hope they Die
Dedicated to Buddy the Vet.
VA hospital,
Tough situation,
Soldiers shot up
Veterans Administration.
What to do,
So many issues,
So many wounds,
So many tissues.
It cost a lot of cash,
To maintain a battle cry,
Just beyond MASH,
It's delay, deny and hope they die.
A hidden agenda
Awaits us all,
These were our finest,

Le printemps jeune et bénévole
Le printemps jeune et bénévole
Qui vêt le jardin de beauté
Elucide nos voix et nos paroles
Et les trempe dans sa limpidité.
La brise et les lèvres des feuilles
Babillent, et lentement effeuillent
En nous les syllabes de leur clarté.
Mais le meilleur de nous se gare
Et fuit les mots matériels ;
Un simple et doux élan muet
Mieux que tout verbe amarre
Notre bonheur à son vrai ciel :
Celui de ton âme, à deux genoux,
Tout simplement, devant la mienne,
Et de mon âme, à deux genoux,
Très doucement, devant la tienne.

Double Tragedy!
when they notified him
that his only son had been
killed in Afghanistan...
he went out in the yard
and draped an American flag
across the windshield of
his '57 chevy...
and drenching it in gasoline,
he set it ablaze...
and he sat on the porch
with his Vietnam Vet hat
pulled down low over his eyes...
sipping good Kentucky bourbon...
when it had burnt down
and he could hear the sirens,
he took the 38 caliber smith and wesson
from his lap, and putting it to his temple,

Outhouse Walls
real poetry...
begins with
a hammer and a saw,
16 penny nails,
the sun at your back,
and a willing tree!
wiping the dirt
and the fear from
a small child's face,
with bare hands,
calloused and rough,
tender as the petals
of the long rose opening
in front of an empty house....
picking up the stray dog

A silly poem about keys
Keys can open doors
they can lock you in
keys on a piano
but not on a Violin.
Keys to a safe
inside a vault
keys lost again
well that's your fault.
Keys on an old typewriter
and on a modern laptop
keys stolen by a thief
to break into a shop.
Keys hang on a keyring
or on a fancy chain
but how on earth can you
dropp them down a drain?
Keys for this and that
a key lying under the mat
having to rush to the Vet
it's been swallowed by the cat.

Let It, Set It
i let it
to set it
i get it
whence i met it
i face it
not to waste it
i race it
not to haste it
i let it all...it is to be!
i let it all go without care
i set it all so without stare
i get it all more without her
i met it all strong without square
i rat it fall wrong without way
i cat it roll long without may
i pet it call song without 'hey'
i vet it bawl froggy without say
none to stay with thee
