They called me buddy....

They called me buddy; it went out to my ears...
I was there for their friendship or fraternity and they wished me to be their confederate.
I was not amiss.
It was not a strong bond. 

They called me buddy.
I was like their dog perhaps.
I was there for their amusement,
But friendship or fraternity it was not to really be.

So if you want a buddy, find yourself a cat.

Veterans Day Poem

Toledo in the day of God

A saying is just that
One must indeed
Find his way
In the world at large
But what of the soldier
Whose stay may be short
Did he walk alone
Or was there another
Holding his arm
And guiding him into
The fray that
He will win
When all things
Are taken
At the
Fall of a tree
And the stop of
A heart beat
With the arms of the soldier
We can all be safe.

Dinner with Occupy Wall Street

I said I would pay the rent
But then I asked for a Tent
So what do I occupy
When I ask for a coin
From the man on the corner
Who worked at Geico
Queequag tucks me in tonight.

Ode to getting a Dental Implant

Oh what a relief of youth
To buy yourself a new tooth

Fortune Cookie on the Moon

Goons in space
It is busy in the human race

Turnips in Scholarship land

Igloos are good
If you like to touch your shoe
A big toad calls a weasel a friend
And I latched the key to the wayzy school

Buy German Cars in Mars

Simon says buy dice at the park.
And when you act like a lark.
Put your cap on and walip your mowce
If it stops moving its lost.
Buy German Cars
If you want to live on Mars.
Sowwitall.
