Miss Nomers, and What I Think I Know is True

There most certainly is a Santa Claus
Wingtips are the best men's shoe,
you can't repackage electronics
no matter what the hell you do;

Unicorns exist somewhere
as does that elusive "pot of gold"
at the end of every rainbow
just like the story's told.

We all know that there's a "Boogyman",
and you must propose on bended knee,
all writers are alcoholics in denial
that is, except for me.

If their offspring are trapped underneath
a woman can lift a car,
and can also almost cripple a man
and leave nary, a scar.

A woman cannot get pregnant
as long as she's on top,
and a surprise finger in the butt-hole
of a biting dog will make it stop !

You're all alone in a crowd
make a face and you'll stay like that !
Put your best foot forward with a happy face
but be careful walking a black cat !

You should choose your words more wisely,
and don't "fidget" while you talk,
never track mud across your Mom's shiny floor
and always trust a man that's known as "doc".

These are my truths and my Miss Nomers
but the list stops here, if you will...
because too many pages will empty a forrest
and close down another landfill.

Thank YOU....

...for recognizing this as a pure, "entertainment only" type of poem. I call 'em..."silly dillies", but they DO have their place in the library. I sincerely hope that no one was offended by my anti-seriosity!!! Thanx again, for the kind comment. "Write On"! sincerely, #{:>{)}8==== docmaverick.

Your anti-senitimentalty...

Laurel Lee Norris Doc you have and always will be one of the "KEEPERS". I speak highly about. I'm almost up to full fingers and ten digits of the people closest to my heart and mind, and that is something that only you DOC MAVERICK have been able to give me along with a smile, a laugh, a thing, and your look on life with a poet's edge.
