TIMOTEO'S WACKY WORDS (that you won't find in the dictionary) # 2

CHIRKY: Combination of CHEERFUL, CHIPPER , and PERKY. Persons who appear to be consistently chirky can be a royal pain in the butt for coffee junkies who haven't had their morning fix.

MOMENT OF CONCEPTION (saluting National Poetry Month)

Trapped in an unrelenting

avalanche of words,

conjuring the vision

that has made him blind,

the poet speaks volumes

without moving his lips.

An act of procreation

without touching,

but somehow you've been

touched just the same--

Aware, as you muse through

your morning walk,

and later,

rappel down the mountain of

papers on your desk,

that the words have seeped

into your being...

the seminal fluid

implanting its seed of truth.

TIMOTEO'S WACKY WORDS (that you won't find in the dictionary) # 1

UNDRESSPASSING: Prancing naked on private property without prior permission.

In light of Sandra Bullock's recent marital problems, I thought of some movies she might want to REMAKE:

THE DEPARTED

THE BREAK UP

WALK THE LINE

GET SMART

BODY OF LIES

SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE

THE DIVORCEE

DUMBO

UNFORGIVEN

THE GOODBYE GIRL

GONE WITH THE WIND

THERE WILL BE BLOOD

SHOULD I BUY THIS CAR?

The owner says he was very careful with it and always drove with the headlights on. It has a very smooth ride, as none of the passengers have ever complained.

ALMOST GROWN

My grand daddy chewed his food so slowly

that everyone at the table fell asleep

waiting for him to finish

A lone lima bean slipped his lips

and dropped to the floor

providing some diversion for me

when I was three

I was good at entertaining myself

playing both sides of the chess board

with an uncanny insight

into the mind of my opponent

while my Uncle Viggo recited

off-color limericks into his

tape recorder when he was drunk

enriching my early vocabulary in ways

the boys at school thought was cool

Upstairs in my bed

I'd lie awake at night

my little radio pulling in the booming signal

from south of the border

Wolfman Jack gave me an appreciation

for rhythm and blues

and the revelation that being crazy

would be my ticket out of that lonely farmhouse

Biding my time

Playing Chuck Berry 45s on my lo-fi

and anyway I'm almost grown

A world of glory and heartache looming

that even my fanciful imagination

didn't see coming
