The Case Of The Black Falcon

Another Jack Vine story; or the start anyways.

The Case Of The BlackFalcon “Morning Rocci; what’s up?” It was a Monday and I had been in the office for only an hour when the D.A. called. Rocci and me, I should mention, go way back to when we were kids. Now I have a detective agency and Rocci works for the city courts. Go figure. “Got an unusual case for you if you’re interested,” Rocci replied. “It’s a probable abduction with a twist.” “What do you mean by ‘twist’?” I...

A Grand Day For Mr. Rabbit

A grand story of friends jammimg.

Mr. Rabbit had had a very tiring week, harvesting his bountiful garden. Now that that was done he was exhausted and in need of some quiet relaxation. And who better to spend a quiet day with, he thought, than with his good friend, Mr. Turtle. “Yes, a nice quiet day with my good friend Mr. Turtle would be just the thing I need,” Rabbit mused. “Especially as tomorrow is my birthday. I shall give him a call right now.” Mr. R...

“Open up; it’s yummy,” Mom lied to me. Her eyes held mirth, Of that I could see. I did what I could. I turned this way then that. But what I really could have used, Was a baseball bat. It was hopeless of course, Of that I could see. That’s when an idea, It came to me. I opened my mouth, And took it all in. And then turned my head towards mommy, With a most evil grin. What I did then, Even Satan would have been amazed. I s...

The Case Of The Lady In Red

A kind of detective story done in rhyme.

My name is Smith, That’s Smith N. Wesson. I’m a licensed P I, And I carry a big ass gun. This case started on a Tuesday, When she walked into my life. The dame dressed in red, Probably some rich sap's wife. I asked her the usual questions, “OK sister; What’s the Caper?” She tossed a bundle on my desk, It was a first edition newspaper. I turned it around, And there circled in red, Was a story on a missing scientist. It rea...

A Foxy Granny for Annie

A little orphan Annie rhyme just for fun.

Little orphan Annie, She had no real granny, And this made her very sad. So she wrote Santa a letter, To forgo any winter sweater, For a granny instead would be rad. Santa read what she said, And then scratched at his head, Wondering if a granny would fit in a box. He thus called all around, Yet no granny was to be found, So he sent her instead a red fox. Now, a red fox was no granny, Nor even an old nanny, Yet Annie stil...

Fire In The Rain

A Sonnet on the four elements. It was a requirement used in a poem contest.

Fire In The Rain Flickering torch upon windowsill In turbulent air whirls the windmill Red heats the beads of mornings kiss Electrified volt of Terra’s abyss Illuminating glass separates the elements Neither shall embrace in remembrance. Ticks of time resonate the patter of drops Heard as I gaze past the swaying treetops Everlasting Earth, water, air and fire Reclaiming each realm and to each their desire. Aimlessly I pon...

Drink Of The Fruit

This is a lyric I entered in a contest using one given line.

Drink Of The Fruit Outside the city where the pomegranates grow, In the fields of the everlasting mind. Shines the rays of enlightened warmth I seek, And the hopes of a new mankind. To taste the fruit of Gods and men, Is to embrace the immortal soul. Within the thoughts of modern men, Like the theory of the Monopole. From science to God and back again, From whence we drink of the fruit. The truth is I am but one man And I...

I’m A Bad Boy Mommy told me to make my bed, But I went outside to play instead. And when she found out, to me she beckoned, And spanked my little bottom, to red I reckoned So what will tomorrow bring for me? Could be another spanking: let’s see. [Chuckles]

Mac Cool (an Irish myth)

Another poem/rhyme challenge

Mac Cool An Irish Myth Wizards and warlocks Steal clad knights Castles in the sands, Oh, what a site. On the beach, in the rain. Dragons bane, most insane. Goliath of beast, Brimstone and fire. Breath of flame, Tis a curse, hell-fire. On the beach, in the rain. Dragon’s bane, most insane. Our battle ensues Of beast and men. Demon spawn, Against the McDugan Klan. On the beach, in the rain. Dragon’s bane, most insane. From...

Teardrops In The Champagne

My entry in Andy an my poem/rhyme challenge.

Teardrops In TheChampagne Our place that we first met, Has closed and is no more. I enter what is left of it, Stepping through its shattered door. As I gaze upon the dust covered tables, And the paint peeling off the walls. I remember the day you proposed to me, And other memories that recalls. Now here I stand in the darkened gloom; I know not what to do. Those feelings of sorrow within this old heart, My love, I so miss...

For Friendship or LovePirate saw a little lamb, her fleece as dark as coal The hat she wore There in her door In heart so full of soulThe question stands, to this old man, will lamb enjoy this rhyme A dove so sweet That I should meet A child out of timeIn days of old, or so I'm told, I'd bare my heart and soul For want of lamb for that I am To make my life her goalThis flower I see, if it could be, would warm this heart a...

Finding LoveI met a girl and she said to me, “Would you like to join me under this tree?” Her hair was as gold, her lips cherry red, I lost my thoughts. What was that she said?“I'm sorry.” I stuttered, like a teenage boy. I blushed and she smiled, her eyes full of joy. She patted the ground, upon which she sat, Her eyes both sparkling like the Cheshire cat.My heart skipped a beat as I moved to her side. I tried looking ca...

The Letter

No, it isn't about any relationship of mine . LOL

The Letter (Sung to whatever tune fits your mood) Hello. How are you? I’m doing fine. I always start my letters to you with this same lame line. Then I go on with, “Is your family doing well? Or some other bullshit like that, Instead of wishing them in hell. Am I being bitter? No! I don’t think so. You took my heart and chewed it up, So how low can I really go? You said let us still be friends, And then took all that I ow...
