Always stay classy,
you make me want to be ratchet;
Imagination;
These thoughts that I am having; 
Oh, What you would think of me....

I had a Head Nurse that was just born mean
The ugliest woman I'd ever seen
A voice like sharp ice
Never could be nice 
She made old Nurse Ratchet seem like a queen

Twilight settles in
     after the wind drops off
   when the lightning bugs
     flash on and off
   and the crickets
     ratchet up their screeching

   later, still as a cemetary
     ~ dead of the night...

I'm not all that handy,
nor so very bright too
I sometimes ask dumb questions
that's one thing I'm apt to do

One day I asked my father;
"Say, Dad, what's a ratchet?"
he fixed me with a wise look,
and said, "Son, it's just a
bit bigger than a mouse sh_t!...

Grateful for your love
Ratchet old cottonwood tree looks dried out and dead to me
Winters temperatures scavenger cold long Robin perched above
O' behold what a wonderful God who provides for them and us
       --Always

So thankful
I AM soul grateful for His love

Comeback God sacked a craft sassed to last / 
Grasp no slack or sag with the rap slap/ 
Pressure the bag and tip of the cap /
Coder crack hat and lift that latch /
Off the docket and out the casket /
Almost a tragic trashed hit had him cashed in /
Dodged that tactic now have the out to last kit /
Hoss’s odds lodged a socket to play with any ratchet...

Riot and rebellion reoccur in my rest.
has been ramified and ranked, in My rate
Round and round, revealing remorse
Righteous reputation, reverse reverence
Rack on my ratchet and roar to the rope.
Resident reutilization is running out of the Romp.
Give up the race to rehabilitate Renal.
Reverential Razor Ridiculously Regal
.

Ksanet B../ peace of mind...

So I embrace her with the arms of God ;
I sing to her but with the mouth of angels choirs;
Staring  at on horizon with eagle eyes;
 I walk on the water floating like swimming swans;
For she is the heart that I love;
Enhance future tense one day will fly above;
Like two sparrows rising high;
Ratchet raptured up alive to meet Jesus in the sky;

Tonight I'll saddle up the scorpion
kicking to hell its armored flanks
ratchet legs charging straight ahead
poison lance hovering above my head
claws snapping at the cooling desert wind,
hunting for fiery pieces of moon tinged sin.
I'll romp with a band of glass blown vamps
in Bosh's tasselled garden of earthly delights-
Come sunrise, i'll dismount my poisonous tank
don a tie and ride a three piece suited pegasus....

Ratchet Gentrification 
Sneaky Dislocation 
A People Sank Deeper Into An Abyss of Desperation 
No Lubrication....
In Summation....
Screwed... 
Without Consideration
of The Deprivation of Unaffordable Habitation 
Nostalgic Disintegration 
Of Memories Nesting in the hearts of Generations 
Shameful Demonstration of Humanity...
Straight up Insanity...
Sad to Say
Failure to Realize Damage Done Today...
Create a Price Future Offspring Will Pay.......

just jumped over the hurdles;
Been restricted down to the borders;
Now I'm even flowing further;
As my course is being laid out,
 transfigurated something was left out;
No more reality please
As my Uber ran out of gas;
And Google was lost;
I found myself ratchet covered in dross;
Unrefined on the internet intersection of life;
Abused abandon and without;
Nomore reality please; 
This Thang I'm in not that--

... That maybe I need to ratchet it down a bit,
      Least I appear too annoyingly enthusiatic. (HAHAHAHA)
         But I want you all to know,
             The beauty of poetry 
                 And my appreciation
                      For all it's form 
                        Or where it came from
               

                        Is my heart's most fervent passion.....

Nancy took a tumble
And went falling down the stairs.
The slickness of the marble
Must have caught her unawares.

Yet who at 84 years old
Wears shoes with 4-inch heels?
Though since a hip replacement,
There’s a photo that reveals

That Pelosi, back at work,
Left her stilettos in the dust.
She’s sporting clogs, a look to which
She might have to adjust.

We all make compromises
As we ratchet up the years,
Though despite her new flat shoes,
She still will tower o’er her peers.
