A Couple Poems
by Jen "Erect Joy" Monknun
1.
The Diary of Danny Dimples, Brought to you by Coca-Cola
A simple life, Danny Thought
A life of Daffodils and other flowers
Surprise! A jack-in-the-box.
~
Strutting down the cobblestone,
He squeezed his feet upon every step,
Then releasing the clench.
~
One quench to another,
Danny said to his mother Mrs Dimples
One quench to another.
~
Humor is hatred of reality
Said Mrs Dimples.
No it's not Said Danny Dimples, Jr.
~
And so, the organ interludes played into the night. The aromatic suggestions danced through the air and thoughts mingled with an ebbing curiosity. Danny's dimples twitched with pleasure.

Gentle Jimmy Tadpole
A tale of sorrow and rebirth
Gentle Jimmy Tadpole, peace be to your elders
A Tune-a- fish sandwich split in two
For me and you
Jimmy Tadpole.....
Hey macaroon, give me a tune
Pitter-pat on your Little Wooden Spoon
Cook me a meal
Jimmy Tadpole, where are you now...................
Once Upon a Midnight Cheery,
You and me Jimmy we are fast friends.
Jimmy Tadpole
Let's go swimming next summer.
Jimmy Tadpole...............
What? What do you mean?
What do you mean Jimmy?
What do you mean Jimmy Tadpole?
Gentle Jimmy Tadpole?
Can it really be true? We will never swim in the
Musky pond again together?
Under the juicy neon moon?
With the snappy boloney lore of revelrous tales?
What about another all-out carouse?
Gentle Jimmy Tadpole?
Hello?
Your simple ears are multiplying, I can see the origamic extensions!
Onward folding in and out! What's happening to you!
Gentle Jimmy Tadpole! You're too young to go!
What do you mean, a swiveling door?
Gentle Jimmy Tadpole! How about an encore!
No can do, Gentle Jimmy?
Gentle Jimmy....... Jimmy Hop Frog?
Jimmy Hop Frog?
Is that you Jimmy?
You don't know?
Gentle Jimmy?
~Ribbit~
Thanks and goodnight, folks.
Jimmy's doing great and has made a full recovery.
He knows his left flipper from his right.
He can dance, and sing.
He knows how to turn the place ub-side-down
Thump Thump Thump....
Gentle Jimmy Tadpole.

The number one rule of magic
Knock Knock Hello,
Dissolve,
Precipitate,
Reunion with rumination,
From one honky to another, Humility
Uncork Enjoyment
The shadow of your smile.
