We all like to dress up,
Some more–some less there, bub…
Culturally
Influences are free,
For the fashionable to snap up!
–
A woman uses a base bland,
Combined with something grand…
To exude flair–
That savoir faire–
Her style is in demand!
–
Caps and sashes culture,
A vision of worldly demure…
Softer sides
Of wonder world-wide,
A hit at the party for sure!

HE’S SWEET ON SOMEONE
–
His is emotionally
Attached to someone he sees…
Willingness per view
Is nothing new,
For years, near-automatically!
–
He doesn’t dare name names,
To much risk that doing so shames….
Him and /or her
Better, as it were,
Keep on with his excuses lame.
–
In honest reality,
He’s sweet on nearly all he sees…
That are of a mind
Both open and kind,
A give-and-take mentality.
–
Certain ones do catch his eye,
Reveal…he won’t even try…
Suffice to say
Some blow him away,
But he’d be lost without his “Di.”
(His wife’s nickname)

DEDICATED TO eh, MANY kind souls…FOXY FEMALES ALL! 😀
WANTED CLOSE COMMUNICATING!
–
The problem was both had hurts,
Committed by trousers and skirts…
Commitment to trust
Gathered rust,
Both thought the other curt.
–
Walls and grudges build
Despite commitments to yield…
Many a marriage
Is disparaged,
By combat in the field.
–
Obvious one doesn’t understand,
The other’s health demands…
One bends over,
The other takes over
And pushes one into badlands.
–
The verbose one wonders why
The silent one won’t try
to open
As they’re hoping,
To fill them in bye-and-bye.
–
The silent one’s thoughts run sarcastic,
The other one listens to drastic…
And half the time
Is not so inclined,
They both fall into that basket!

THE GUY WHO LOST IT…
–
The guy who recently “lost it”,
Whose manhood is not a threat…
Still has a brain that functions–
He hasn’t lost all of it yet!
–
He likes the luscious looking,
Faves he has in fact…
Commenting he won’t be brooking
But is less likely to act.
–
His compliments of people
He keeps closer to the chest…
Experience in business climates
He does what is best.

HONKIE HAIKU
(i’S A WHITE FOLK!)
–
His poor heart is crushed
She doesn’t say much when rushed….
His chances are mush!
–J.E.C. (Author initials to separate haiku)

“SLINGING SLANG”
–
Hispanic…gringo,
Nipponese…round eyes,
On the streets…HEY, YOU!
–J.E.C.
–
THE GUARD WHO WOULD TEACH ENGLISH
(Instead of being king..per Rudyard Kipling!)
–
The tutor likes his poetry,
Asking to use occasionally…
But he jumps the gun
Offering some
To a pupil for its meaning to see.
–
This working Japanese adult,
Finds English somewhat difficult…
The guard enlisted
Education which assisted,
This gentleman to work the thing out!
–
Among some very big words,
Was respect for cultures we’ve heard…
Pronouncing names
Won’t bring any shame,
The employee is shown their worth!
