It’s just absolutely crazy

The frustration rules my life.
The endless quest goes on.
I go to one shop looking then
Go to yet another, still no luck.
Online Amazon has nothing.
Walmart workers have no idea
In which section I should look.
Not surprising for Walmart.
They must train their employees 
To know nothing so you would
See new items while searching.
Where the hell can it possibly be?
I’m not sure if it would be canned
Or come in a box or stink like fish.
Somewhere, somehow, sometime,
I’m gonna find that reason to live.


Grasshoppers and Butterflies

Laughing while frolicking through
Fields of grain chasing grasshoppers
And butterflies and then on to the
Riverbank for a splash or a dip
Makes for a thoroughly pleasant
Afternoon and, if you’re lucky, the
Gators are sleeping with full bellies
From fools going to the riverbank
For a splash or a dip that morning.
