  • Red Carpets And Outfits Almost On A Dare

    Came across a few articles earlier today at the station in some downtime between the end of the recording of one show and the waiting to start the recording of another of some fashion “choices” or possibly “dares” from the Grammy’s, a collection, for the most part, of photo’s of really unfortunate Red Carpet outfits,… Continue reading

  • Moving

    I am stressed I am upended I am uncomfortable, my underwear doesn’t even feel quite right, I keep hitching it to one side or the other “fuck you other side, this one is mine”. Well, these particular ones are also going on 20 years old as my laundry has become a bit stacked with packing,… Continue reading

  • God Made Trump – God: “Yeah, That Was In Error” (boogie woogie song revision)

    I know I posted this only last week but part of it was bugging me and I did a bit of a revision. It was a little monotonous in the verses so I changed up a couple of them. Much better now I think and still fast with a shitload of words, loves me fast… Continue reading

  • Look What They’ve Done To Our Trump (song) … Ma

    Back in June I discovered The MonaLisa Twins and their absolutely wonderful two studio albums “Orange” and “Why?” (highly recommended by the way). Well, they recently came out with an album of acoustic covers of some classics and also some acoustic versions of their originals, but one of the covers was of Melanie’s “What Have… Continue reading

  • The Ongoing Great Bagel Dilemma

    Ok, I have talked (posted) of this before but it bears revisiting as this continues to be a dirty fingered bone of bagel contention and also a point of fascination for me, never ceasing to amaze: The Ongoing Great Bagel Dilemma (paraphrasing and plagiarizing of that older post allowed because, well, I wrote it and… Continue reading

  • Raven’s Night (poem)

    (Note: August 28, 2025. I haven’t posted anything to an Open Link Night at dVerse Poets since I discovered the site a year and half ago, but I’ve been reading some of my older things recently, often just to reset myself a bit, get in the right frame, while working something new and was reminded… Continue reading

  • Don’t Pinch Me (poem)

    So I came about this cool site, dVersepoets.com, of poets who gather together at this online Poet’s Pub to enjoy some fine food (especially the desserts it seems) some drink and the good company of other writers sharing words around tables or from atop barstools. Well, the first word prompt in my new discovery here… Continue reading

  • The Weight of Books

    Went downstairs yesterday lugging some books in a storage container (one of many) to put them in my car, my “new” car, Lilly, (yes she has a name as BB had a name until ill-timed blind left hand turns from a fellow driver rendered him nameless) and, in my lugging, I remembered, shit, books have… Continue reading

  • God Made Trump – yeah, that was in error (song)

    So there was some silly shit. Some fankids putting together a video of how Trump is God chosen (not to mention those that sing him songs too) … I did just say silly shit right? My response in a bit of a tune … (just an instrumental bed I found that I liked, fast and… Continue reading
