Imagine there’s no shavin’
It is easy if we let
No blade to hurt us;
Below nose only hair
Imagine sir,my goatee growing downwards!
Imagine there’s no saloons
It isn’t hard to do-
Barbers can take something else
Hirstute or not, they can dye
Hair,- frizz it, wave or curl!
Imagine all the people living in salons, you
You may say I’m a dreamer
But what dreams may come colour
me red,- some day you’ll understand
And the world will be all fair
Imagine no more split ends
I wonder birds nest in peace
In a beard full fathom five!
My follicles all-in health
No more wringing of hands, sir
Imagine all the birds on perch trilling, you
You may say I’m a dreamer
But what dreams may come colour
me red,- some day you’ll understand
And the world will be all fair.
(Ack: downtown music publishing)

The Power of Fake News ©
‘Twas not the best of news, but came ringing
It was plain mudslinging
Through Bannon’s Breitbart source:
Look how ‘Bama threw his force,
He had this wiretapping
He was for dirt hoping!
Happy, happy, happy few!
None but the sleaze,
None but the sleaze,
Alternate facts Oh fake news is nothing new!
2.
Where they go for news one cannot tell
Such fake news are from hell:
Take dem from horses’s mouth
Or from wire north or south.
A swamp they sure make of Capitol Hill
Happy, happy, happy few!
None but the sleaze,
None but the sleaze,
Alternate facts Oh fake news is nothing new!

Sonnet XVIII- To the White House
Shall I compare thee to a home from home
To which one moves in and leaves at the end?
Fame and fortune meet alike in a home
As stately home the White House do mend
Sometimes the pride of mien (in guests has charm)
But four years too long to keep their charade,
And are impeach’d or booted out at end of term;
And wise or fair in their stature surely degrade,
By chance, or people want change for change sake-
But thy pillars stand firm, You have seen it all
White House the Event for those who would make
To be seen, or led round though it were a ball.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

It took Rembrandt one year or even more but we knocked it off in two weeks. On the left I added a boy eating nieuwe haring‘ and a young boy rushing with a plucked chicken. Well given time and chance I could have added more whimsies. Rembrandt must be turning in his grave. -b

work in progress. I am busy with Captain Banning Cocq. Each figure was meant to illustrate a local worthy in period costume.
