Best Memory #21
Marched half time at the Cotton Bowl
Played slide trombone, wore coveralls
Band was tops
Major Ette gave her all
Turned flip into faceplant
Split into sprawl
A plunge into mud
Covered her prat and fall
I’d say best parade ever, over all
~
patriots on parade
we mostly feeds ’em ‘n rarely beats ’em
mas ‘n pas ‘n our dootiful child’ens
don’t cotton to newditty, Miss behavin or swearin’
but hate is ok providin’ (insert a god’s name) is willin’
we knows the truth cuz ours was written as given
fer that speshul reason it’s worth all the killin’

Old Folks Home
Grand old man getting paunchy
Much too old for getting raunchy
Watched Grandpa raid the pantry
Caught on tape with the only key
No more calling him Pansy
Not fancy man, Gramps or a Nancy
Old ladies getting worked up and antsy
Excited by his derring-do banditry
Flirt outrageously, coyly and comically
Approaching him privately and openly
Trusting to decorum and his gallantry
~
Kingdoms
Extravagant princelings
Half-wits on parade
Cotton brief thinking
Decadence portrayed
Just_Us their password
Of justice no inkling
Royalty loyally
Ever on display

thin cotton shift sunlit nude

blacks working cotton
end of day smiles on parade
cinematic ploy
