She was brilliant
had two degrees
and civic awards
eventually tiring
of academia
she became an
outdoors woman
hiking in challenging
environments
in the untamed wilds
with her kindred
spirit boyfriend
on one occasion
taking a break
from her boyfriend
she went hiking
by herself
sadly had a
deadly misstep
her body broken
and dead at the
bottom of a gorge
all that she had
attained
all that she was
tragically gone.

Listening to Coast to Coast on YouTube
I heard a woman claim she had sex
with a reptilian alien
Jesus, can this alien stuff get any weirder?
but I have to admit she sounded creditable
and not a bit crazy
on the program it was claimed that
other women had had sex with reptilian aliens
as if these supposed reptilian aliens
were like intergalactic playboys
chatting up and seducing willing, earth women
which makes me wonder
if there was anything to the 1988 movie
Earth Girls Are Easy.
Bob Boyd
Reptilian aliens, I keep hearing about them
makes me wonder if there’s anything to it
many people educated in these matters
claim they are real
some of these people seem quite creditable
and the more you look into the matters
the curiouser these matters become
and if you think the concept of
reptile-like aliens is strange
consider the aliens they claim are insectoids
like giant praying mantises that have psychic powers
can shape shift and read your mind
if these insectoids actually exist and interact with us
I take solace in that at least they’re not giant spiders.
Bob Boyd
I’ve read of abduction cases
real or false
where abductees, real or false,
claim aliens came through their walls
and further claim aliens took them
through the walls and up to their UFOs
maybe these claims are true
but one problem I have with them
is that the alleged abductees found out
they were abducted under hypnosis
I don’t trust hypnosis in these abduction matters
I believe the hypnotists can implant
false memories in the minds of their subjects
making them believe aliens abducted them
of course, I could be mistaken
maybe hypnosis can reveal alien abductions
however, I have heard of abductees
who without hypnosis appear to have been abducted.

Saw a video of bears jumping into
and swimming in backyard swimming pools
I’m thinking, the audacity, the nerve, of these
trespassing bears
where are the police when you need them?
these law breaking bears should be arrested,
cuffed, and thrown into the back of a squad car
driven to the police station
charged with trespassing and jailed for a night
we need to start making examples of out them
they need to learn that trespassing,
like crime, doesn’t pay
I’m kidding, of course
it was fun and amazing to see these bears
frockling in swimming pools
unless it was your swimming pool
and you had to compete with bears to use it.

Some people are lucky
they meet the right one
and it lasts
many are unlucky
it never lasts
I remember a famous
beautiful actress
married 4 or 5 times
none of her marriages
ever lasted
many are unlucky
like her too
the worst, some have
husbands or wives
who kill them
sometimes I think it’s
just luck if you find the
right one and your
relationship or marriage
endures for life
I don’t think it’s always
that the person is hard
to get along with
I think lady luck often
has her hand in it.
Bob Boyd
She is old now
her hair is grayed
her skin is wrinkled
her eyes are dulled
her body has lost its allure
but she is still beautiful to him
and she will be evermore.

Two times I’ve cheated Death
twice I’ve swindled Grim
but I know the day
is coming …
when I’ll be seeing Him.

I spy a little orange ladybug
clinging to my bathroom door
I think about scooping it up
on a tissue and taking it outside
but it is so terribly cold out there
I think it could freeze to death
I decide to just let it alone
to its own devices
I surmise the ladybug is safe
in my apartment, no predators
plenty of water and maybe
some miniscule food
I haven’t seen the ladybug in days
it’s warmer now
I hope it went outside the
same way it came in
and found a warm home to find refuge in
when the weather gets cold again.

Watching and listening to Maryanne Faithful
in a YouTube video
singing her break out hit
when she was in her early twenties
in the sixties
the song, As Tears Go By
my heart captivated by her youthful beauty
my ears enchanted by her voice
and I always loved that somber song
but now I’m becoming somber
because her youth, her great vocals,
and her beauty are gone
tears begin to well up in my eyes
because Maryanne Faithful
is no more:
December 1946 – 30 January 2025
RIP beautiful Lady, beautiful soul.
