The Jeep That Kept Rising From the Dead

Lazarus had nothing

on this battered motor vehicle.

A red Jeep with a broken headlight

a dent in the driver’s side door

a transmission that sucks down fluid

and leaks it out at the same time.

It guzzles gasoline

like an alcoholic during Happy Hour.

This Jeep has a muffler

with a hole and it

wakes up the neighbors

 (when it actually runs).

It’s a sorry excuse for a car and

it hasn’t passed inspection since 2009

Its roadworthiness is questionable

at best.

Nothing can kill it.

It rises from the dead every time

just like Lazarus.

Except Jesus isn’t around

to perform miracles anymore.

My son and his friends

keep it on life support.

But for how long?

Love is Sour

Sir Dilworthy Muttonchops stared at the stairs

waiting for Jane, his wife who assuaged his cares.


He asked himself, “Where she’s been all of this time?

It cannot take so long to procure a lime”.


Did she stop by to see her friend, Sally Bude

or find a man with whom to do something lewd?


His fears of her cheating began to retreat

when a wagon from Harrod’s stopped in the street.


Leaving the vehicle, he is shocked to see

his wife and two men unload a potted tree.


Deeply ashamed he believed his wife would lust,

Dilworthy vowed that in their love he would trust.


Unlimited supplies of green citrus fruits

strengthened the Muttonchops’ love, limes, limbs, and roots.
