Different shades of grey

 

What the hell

Melanie 

Wore grey

Hey guys

Her husband is on trail

And she expected

To sit next 

To her foes

Not her piers

Michelle

Was not nice to her

At all 

While Hillary

Did everything 

She could

To cause her 

Discomfort

Now Kamala

Is sitting behind her

As the adversary

Who ousted her husband

With a win 

Meanwhile

Rosalyn may not even

Be known 

To her due to their age

Where are the other 

Husbands?

Hillary brought hers

But the others were

Left at home.

A tribute to a lady

Who was modern

In her views

But also steadfast

Stood by her man

When he was in trouble

Over the Iran hostage thing

They all looked beautiful

Even little Amy

Was a shining star

Having matured

Into a beautiful woman

After suffering 

An awkward adolescence

At the White House 

In full view of the world press

Seconded by Chelsea

Who started off

In shorts 

And ended it in a mini skirt

Im not sure what

Melanie had hidden under

Her grey wool coat

But it was not a decadent

Fur as even Pat Nixon

Was criticized for wearing

Maybe it was a pantsuit

As most modern women wear

Probably also black

But her statements

Of outerwear

Are already known

And she is from another

Area of the world

Wear making an appearance

Would be questioined

At the best

But she did show

Despite the constant 

Barrage by the press

What are the different

Areas of grey

Portrayed here at a funeral

While the world

Is at war?

Hostages appear to be

The main reason

For the Gaza attack

In order to free

The Prisoners 

Israel has been holding

Will we ever learn

Not to run head first

Into a windmill?

First genocide

Of the Donbass people

And now an icky sticky

Situation of hostages

In exchange for inmates

Well, we are the world power

Even China and Russia

Are having their troubles

No Christmas for the Russians

They don't want large gatherings bombed

Nor is China doing well

With the flu season

Another outbreak?

Please not that

I have not even recovered

From this last one

And there is still 

That trail to go through

Preventing a President

From doing his duties

By allowing prosecution

Is not a wise thing

Nor is allowing an angry mob

To assemble without dispersal

The Boston Tea Party 

All over again?

And whose fault is it

Anyways?

The local police 

Or the federal authorities

Who did not decide sooner

That there might be a bomber

Or a man welding a gun

At this sad event?

I am not pointing fingers

As one who worked 

In government jobs

Usually got the rotten assignements

But still don't want anarchy

Nor children not going to bed

In their own homes

Well done Melanie

Who did what she ought to have

While the rest of the world waits ...

For sale!

Hitlers supposed Mansion

In the woods.

Is for sale

Jimmy?

Did you find this one

As well?

He has been selling

All of the places

Associated with my family

Just because he was told

Not to but is going 

To do it anyways.

Perched high in the mountains

Set on a beautiful natural lake

It is still standing

But then it is 

Less than a hundred years old

Built about 1943 or so

But it is not 

In Germany

But Argentina

In Patagonia

Nestled right up

Against the tail

Of South America

Not Brazil on the east

But the west coast

Where there is 

A whole town

Built by Germans

Many migrated

There using false

Paper work

Everything about them

Is fake and phony

Imagine running away

After falsely

Claiming to be 

The Aryan race

The Aryans 

As everyone else 

Knows left by way

Of the Caucasus mountains

They may have gone to India

Or they might have made it

To America

The Incans might

Have known of another

Race even further down

Not small Amazonians

But light complected

Anyways there are so many

Stories of this land

To the south of Texas

The city of gold

Maybe it was theirs

Having left Europe

Carried with them

All the things they needed

After all there is another

Race just as mysterious

The Scythians 

Who once lived

Where that horrible genocide

Is taking place

They left behind gold

Real beautiful gold

But no one knows

From where they came

Nor where they went

Meanwhile

Those in the know

In Arabia

Started destroying 

All the books on the world

Before the Catholics 

Were allowed to take

Back their land of Iberia

Trips to the American

Continent must have occurred

As there is too much 

Non information 

An entire continent

That no one had heard 

With astronomy and calendar

As well as writing and mathematics

Fully developed race

Which the Aztecs

Took over in middle America

But what of the south

Only the Inca were found

And those cannibals 

Of the Amazon river

Two races disappeared

From Europe

A city of gold

Which was never found

Nor have the gold items

Of the Jewish nation

While a system

Of communications

And trade were known

Among the Americans

Hmm, maybe

Hitler did find them

The Aryans 

In Argentina

Building a town first

And then a house

On a lake which might

Have the answer to a few things

Such as if Hitler

Did live here

Is he buried here?

Why did Suzie P

Know of this place?

And did the Von Traps

Get to this lake

Having run away

From Hitler

But maybe 

They  were simply

Leading the way....

Nice guy 

And large family

Wonder why so many?

And who were her family

She was an orphan

Given a lot of lee way

By the nuns

Who was she related?

Clever to live first

And then provide

A backdoor

They are probably 

Not guilty

But there were many

Nazi artifacts found

In Argentina

The land of Evita

And cowboys

Horses and cows

Not Texas

But Argentina

Provided beef

By boat for those

Who could afford

To ship it.

Wonder

What else went on

In that house

My grandmother 

Made it to Brazil

And may have gone

To this lake house

She was a radio reporter

Often invited places

Not to her benefit

She had flashes

Of past experiences

For which the second husband

Would have her locked up

He was never loyal

Nor faithful

But for some reason

She still cant define

She found herself 

Married to a Portuguese

From Brazil

I recall her stories

And remember

Being taken to a similar

Place and kept hostage

Every time I escaped

I was taken back

One time something bad

Had happened 

The woman with a child

Of her own screamed

And ran off into the woods

Jessica is her name

She had switched places

With my sister

She had not known

There was two of us

I found my sister buried

In the front yard

Wrapped up in a sheet

I dragged her down 

To the lake 

And pushed her across

Accustomed to water

Having been born in the ocean

She was thankfully

Not dead yet

And those on the other side

Helped us escape

My younger brother

Shudders when kilts

Are mentioned

He was forced to wear

His in the wrong country

They said they thought

He was a girl

He also had a bad

Incident occur

To him on a lake

But Suzie knows

Where this place is located

She is not what she says

Showing up with a girl

Named Janet 

Who was born when

I was only six years old

No one is that niave

To believe a six year old

Gave birth 

Would put the Virgin Mary

To shame!

Janet was instructed

By Suzie to take 

My groceries from me

And my wallet

And when she found out

Where i was staying

Dragged me out

And throw my clothes

In the street

Her and her boyfriend

Juan Barron

Not allowed

Which is how I ended up

Being placed in a shelter

And what began 

My cry's for help

She also had drugs

From a mental ward

Not given to any patient

But only those with 

Serious disorders

Such as Jimmy 

And his companion Cathy

Red dots on my body

And scared out of my mind

Screaming for no reason

Except she has come again

To get even with me

For not wanting her 

My sister did die

When she was not six years old

That whole year

All sorts of crazy women

Claimed I had left behind

Thier own babies

Playing Mariam

But they did not have 

A Moses for the world

Bastards and bitches

All of them

Wanting only to kill me

And my family

While they live 

High on the hog

Just as Jimmy

Always presents himself

To me as a pig or hog

Cant see anything

Beyond that pig snot

Surprised he has not 

Attempted to sell this house

Although there is nothing left

Just like Suzie to raid it.

Maybe the lake 

Is the location of 

The city of gold?

Or Hitlers grave

We might not ever know

In an era of genocide of neighbors

 

The name is Winters

 

My real family name

Is spelled many different ways

It is phonetic inaccurate

Really it is not 

Wheat nor Wyat

But Winters

Those who survived

Those who arrived

Those from Winterland

Many want to suppose

They have the right 

To know our name

But why should 

We provide it

To thieves and liars

Braggarts and boasters

Who will simply take

It for their own

Once there was

A wonderland

On the beach

Full of carnival rides

For all to enjoy

And a train to take 

Them home

It is now called

Ocean beach

And no one remembers

The family which owned

The land that hoodlums 

Have taken over

There is also the 

Wonder bread factory 

In town which 

Everyone goes by

Without looking

Because there was once

A small village 

By the bay

With a water fountain

And a chocolate factory

And a sugar factory

As well

It was called

Saint Claires

Only a sign

For a broom factory

Remains of this old place

There is a place called

Winters 

Up north

Some guy came upon

A homesteader

Buried him in the backyard

And went and sold

His orchards of fruit

Fruit orchards

Were once prized

Look a prize steer

At a state fair

The town sits 

Where two different 

Train lines once verged

Convenient for wholesale

It is now a sad town

Below the Berryessa lake

Where they drowned 

A town in order

To provide

Irrigation for that

Other place

Called Napa

Valley of the moon

Vinters were seen

As better than others

And there of course

Is the source 

Of the real name

Wine growers

Fruit if the gods

A Hungarian count

Hazardathy 

First Sherif 

Of Santiago

Called San Diego

Grew his own grape

On the slopes

Just above the

Lindberg airfield

Then set himself up

In the Napa region

Renowned for its wine

But first there was another place

The university of Davis

Sits on top of the original

Homestead of the real man

Named Winters

It is also known

For its wine reproduction

Having discovered

Those grapes were golden

That their building sit on top

Indians used to use

The creek for their own usage

And the first stop

On the old Pony Expresso

Out of Sacramento 

No one notices 

These things

Due to the interest

In all things scientific

It has the largest

International school of Medicine

Its primary students

Being from China

And they want us

To believe they are not

Doing experiments

On the students of the college

Which is still just

Berkeley's experiment

No one takes one

Seriously if they claim

To have graduated

From this college

But those people

Whose lives were lost

To greed 

Even know squat

In someone else's house

And claim to be 

Related to royalty

There was once travel

By ship 

Long before there were

Trains and stagecoaches

From the tip of Baja

To the north

There were different

Pieces of the same family

One lied in a similar bay

To the golden gate

It was also called

Winters haven

For withstanding the storms

Of winter and 

Producing  fruit

Those orchards 

Or gardens

Were wiped out

By a bad couple

Who still lay claim

To the property

Of several old ladies

Who inherited

And won the right 

To it at the original royal

Estate of Chapultepec

Those people gave

Others the impression

They could tear down

The trees and build houses

Now it is nothing but

A dust bowl

With tumbleweeds

But  was once a beautiful

Jardins with grapes

And roses growing

Through the wintertime.

The family have all been 

Murdered or falsely 

Convicted of crimes

They did not commit

While retarded individuals

Are told they can own

Something when the law

Says they cant even drive

Which is why 

Betty A

Uses a false identification.

Just as jimmy

Uses a fake driver's license

But when men such as

Don Wiens

Have multiple alias

And no one notices

How crooked he is
Nor his wives 

Crime sheet

It is long

From stealing fruit

From a fruit stand

To grand theft auto

Enormous amongst

Of well wishers

Showed up for their

Disfellowshipped sons

Funeral just because

He was out robbing. 

People when his truck

Skidded into a tree

Perhaps if he was not

Being pursued by

The police at the time....

Anyways the family

Are Sicilian

French owned islands

Off the coast of Italy

Which were originally 

Settled by fleeing Jews

Everyone thinks of the mafia

Instead of pirates 

Who took others precious

Possessions 

But it was the French

Who tamed the wilderness

Made it into a wine 

And rose region

Who does not know

A good French winery?

Napoleon ruled the world

For a short time

Just as France once

Was recognized

As a world power

After all they sent

William the Conqueror

To England

They beheaded the only

Royal monarch 

Of Mexico 

Once a French country

After they sold

What was left of

The Western Mississippi

To Thomas  Jefferson

We are still French

Not a mixed race

Of Aztec and Jewish

Conquistadors

The truth of the matter

Is that the Conquistadors

Were sent as conversos 

To eliminate another race

Because they were going 

To be exterminated otherwise

Just as those African men

Emancipated by Lincoln

Became Indian hunters

The Buffalo hunters

Killing what was left

Of the original inhabitants

It has gone on 

All though history

The expulsion or extermination

Of another race

Usually by another group

Of lower life forms

Gaza is not really

Jewish nor Muslim

But somewhere in between

Used by mercenaries

To cause havoc

For a land already

Beset by a long history 

Of bloodshed

The land of milk and honey

Also known for its wine

When will it stop?

My family have nver

Been free from

The Germans who came

To get even 

For having lost a war

Vivian Granada's mother

Came to see what harm

She could do

Then married an American military

Gave birth to her first born

In Germany but not to its

Father, she has a different one

Than the other six

Her mentally ill daughter

Has hit me over the head

So many times

Because she was told

By an American Judge

That I did not give birth

When I was three nor six

But she wont accept it

If I see her son 

I will shoot him

As a Nazi

Then feed him to the sharks

In the land

Where the first child

Is said to be called

Cecelia or Sicily

All those who have

No real birth certificates

Should be not stupid

The time is at hand

When those gun and drug smugglers

Need to be taken down

How many more journalist

Are going to die

Just because they speak

The truth ?

When will Odessa

Come forward

And explain it was 

All a mistake?

They just wanted

Thier freedom to keep

On using the port for 

Thier greed

Not to be bombed themselves

Let them have their

Sebastopol!

Those Russians

Who stopped him

In his tracks

The shit digger

Shicklgruber

They were the ones

Who dug sewers

In the old days

So low on the totem pole

Swamps are nice places

To be born

He changed his name

To Hitler

And changed the world

Or did he?

Maybe it was always

This way.

Winters storms

Winters wheat

Winters gardens

Vinters from the old days

Of the Roman Empire

Even the Pope had to 

Seek safety in France

When Charlemagne 

Threatened his life

History is full 

Of them 

Those who make war

On others 

Killing the true heirs

Look at William

He created a whole new

Universe with his conquest

Had a castle built

Called Windsor

What does that name imply?

My mother will tell you

That we are the real

Windsor's!

How naive and simpleminded

Are those who listen to her

And her damaged brain

She just wanted

To put her hands

On the butts

Of idiots

And  whisper into 

Thier ears that they

Could kill the queen

She would make them 

King

Not really but she kept 

On trying

Never getting it right

There will be a thousand at least

Waiting for her return

To explain to her 

What their lives became

When they found out

They could not be royal

At all

None of them 

Will be her own

Relatives

Wine anyone?

Grapes traveled all the way

From the Roman empire

Stomped on

And pulled up

Just for another tower...

The best of both worlds

 

Just say the word

Affogato

Sounds  ...

Tiramisu

Was one of those things

That happened to America

Until some stupid film

Ruined it

Sound sophisticated.

Italian gelato

And expresso

The best of both

Worlds

The sweet delicate flavors

Of iced cream

Minus the heavy cream

And heavy syrups

Made more old style

And the not to sour

Expresso 

Pressed coffee beans

With a hint of spice

What could be better?

Pouring the strong brew

Over the slightly sweet

Cream of iced perfection?

Tiramisu

Rum cake with 

Layers of pudding

And coffee.

Hmm, my taste

Is the Affagato

With expresso gelato

Just to wipe away

Any soft epicureans

Such as Jimmy

Who prefers

A Banana split

Once had one of those places

High up Bankers Hill

Called Hillcrest

Ice cream shop

Does anyone remember

Those places?

It is still there

Called Chocolate

It serves fresh California. 

Crepes and other types

Of food from Europe

And they have a gelato bar

With all the surprises 

Of a good European

Mix of real flavors

From Raspberry with alcohol

To various chocolates

With real mixtures

And expresso or coffee

And then they have

Those mirrors

In the corner

To watch them make

Not the food 

But Expresso martinis

Wonderful world

Expresso and gelato

And Vodka

What could be better?

A pacific Asian conference

In San Francisco

Where they have

Italian food in

A Special area of town

Wonderful!

Try San Diego

Next time

We have a Little Italy

And a Gas Lamp Quarter

Which serves high end

Food from old Europe

And there are amazing 

Gelato bars

And Crepe places.

We also have sea world

And Safari world

All those talks

And what do we get?

The Pandas

Might be coming back

You know

They took them away

From America

China did

No more Panda bear

Was it the Pandemic

Or America

That caused China

To yank the lease?

Well, they are speaking again

And those cute not so little guys

Might be coming home

A first-class zoo

Always has a panda bear

Along with a tiger exhibit

And there is also the zoo.

Not that anyone can get to it

It takes at least. 

Three different public buses

To get to Balboa park

And the zoo

From any hotel

Which is why they rent cars

Those who can

And then drive out

To the Safari 

To experience 

Africa up close

As well as that 

Other mandatory stop

Sea world

They have those scary rides

And really cute

Sea creatures

Such as killer whale

Which they have trained

To do circus acts

They even have 

Emperor penguins

A baby girl has been born

Without a name

Perhaps they can decide

On a name for her as well

While they keep us from

Another war in Asia

What are we going to do

About Israel

Nothing we can do

It is off limits

Which is Ukraine? 

Got so much attention

Does anyone know

Why there are so many

Volcanoes

At or already

Spewing ash

And hot lava

Into the air?

Old Aztec one

And Iceland

Have made themselves

Known

But there is a circle

Around the Pacific Ocean

Of live volcanos

Just like the ring of fire

Of the earthquakes

Which are ongoing

Indiana and the Philippines

Have felt the wrath

Of God firsthand

Wish Jimmy had not tripped

In Arizona 

When he went to be executed

The machine was not plugged in

While they worked on it

Jimmy worked out a probation plan

With not the state of Arizona

But the American government

He has been on probation

This whole time

Working out everyone else's

Misery into his own advantage

This is a stupid kid

He is working hand in hand

With government agencies

And still gets it wrong

Which is where all the fires come from

When he gets it wrong

He has immunity. 

To go about his old business

Of destruction

There are a number of old houses

Wondering why their little plaque

Has been removed

And a bulldozer

Is calling them friend

That old hotel up there

On Bankers Hill

Built when it was

Winters township

Is gone along with

The gas station

And post office

The only thing worse

Would be a bunch

Of Africans showing up

And shadowing me

For no reason at all

Except I got hacked

And Scammed 

Almost went to jail

Just because I am not allowed

To cash my own checks

With my government issued

Name on them

Just because

Those people say no

They have been making it clear

They are the ones

Involved in human trafficking

And drug smuggling

I know a few who are

Gun experts

And a couple of diamond traders

Worlds sometimes collide

I am not into thefts

Nor murders

But those suicides

And near misses

On the highways

And railways

As well as those 

Military ones who go down

Considered at fault

The operator

Of the vehicle

Wonder how much

Jimmy went into in Africa.

After getting in close

With Muslims 

In the Arab world

Why is my old homestead

Being occupied

By heavy East Los Angleen's

And why am I seeing 

Everyday at my bus stop

Individuals from elsewhere

Who are talking on the phone

About me in a foreign language

I now from their eyes

And behavior

Reminds me of Paris

In the old soviet days

All those followers

And then the upstarts

Watching us 

For no reason

Except Jimmy 

Gave them the impression

We were important

To the Presdient.

Look at me

Not even invited 

To this conference

And I was a flower girl

At Jills wedding

Missed her granddaughters

Finally remembered 

To send a card

Which Jimmy 

Has probably already 

Snitched out of the Post Office

Poor old Plains

Both of them now 

In Hospice

Bring on those Pandas

We need some peace 

Of mind

While some of us

Still enjoy the expresso

If not allowed the sweet Gelato.

Best to the Carters

In their last year or so.

Maybe the Press

Could let up on 

Old Joe

He is doing his best

And those stairs 

Are not easy

Did anyone see

The spread

Putin put on

For his latest meal

No more apple farm

Nor sweet berries

And salmon 

But a neat tight

Group of foods

For each of his guests

And himself

Military style

Each one had his own

Rectangular 

Cafeteria style 

Assemblage

No sharing 

No waste

Just plain fare

When is America

Going to get 

That this guy

Is not going away?

But Jimmys

Usefulness is over

Would someone

Please run him over?

While we get on 

With the business

Of being Americans

I want fish

Not fowl

For my holiday festivities

And ocean air

Come on everybody

Get with it

The end of the world

Is at hand

Volcanoes erupting

And devastating earthquakes

Being felt

Revelations speaks of them

And then it is all over

Expresso!

And perhaps 

Vodka if not gelato,

And get

Meaghan

Out of my town!

Dear Mr. Xi

 

Dear Mr. Xi,

Repeat after me

I want to go

To the Ice cream shop

At Ghirardelli Square

Where they make 

Thier own ice cream

To go along with 

World famous chocolate.

Welcome to San Francisco!

A former resident of

One of the finest cities

Of the world

Now forgotten

To those who prefer

Disney land

Anyways

You will want

To know a few more

Phrases

I want to go to a good

Steakhouse

Where they serve real meat.

Chinatown

Is not the place

You wish to go.

It is unfortunately

One of the oldest

In America

And very American

You will not find

Authentic Asian food

Anywhere in America

They have all been 

Cooperated by Betty Crocker

White flour 

For everything

No rice wrappers

No rice noodles

Even the Saki

Probably has a preservative

Called Gluten in it.

You might also 

Say I hear they 

Make Bison Burgers

Buffalo is the beast

Of the Native Americans

They now raise them 

For places such as 

Burger Lounge

Or maybe some good

Wagyu

Japanese raised beef

Is served at some fine

Restaurants along the wharf

Real authentic food

Might be found

In the North Beach

Italina fare without 

Those noodles

That Marco Polo 

Brought back

But converted

From a rice product

To an African grain

Called wheat

Perhaps

Vice President Harris

Who is also a former

San Francisco

Can take you and your wife

Out on the town

Avoiding the tourist traps

Unless you want to go

To one of those places

Clint Eastwood

Made famous

When he was making 

Those movies in town.

Then again there 

Is always the consulates list

Of gluten free places

That means they don't use

Wheat or white flour

Instead of the stuff

Back at home

Do not want to be off

Your game 

When making your speeches

After all that American gluten

I bet even Joseph Biden

Might remember a few

Seafood places 

Although he seems 

To be getting thin 

In his hair

And the journalist

Are suggesting

He does not know 

From day to day

Best of Luck

In finding something

That will not make

Queasy

Don't forget

The Ice cream shop

Make your own 

American Sunday

With real hot fudge

And whip cream

With a cherry on top.
