Different strokes

(Our differences are like the pieces of a puzzle called life)

What does humanity want from life, it’s puzzling to know
Peace signs, Daisy cutters, find Jesus in the afterglow 
Seek out seventy two virgins, priming fuses to blow?
Come together in jannah, with a godlike libido

Write painstaking poetry, devoid of human ego
Kill every known disease, have a chat with a mosquito
Build a chocolate empire, watch fatty deposits grow 
Start a protein only diet, get ripped from head to toe?

View b movie stars at night, (censure) the matinee show
Have no more hangovers, enjoy life utterly blotto
Bring back prohibition, replace it with a pink benzo?
Smoke marijuana safely, vaporise tobacco

Play chess at home with the wife, or away with a bimbo
Give a hand to starving wolves, then go howl out the window 
Let a child get carried away, not by some wild dingo?
Set the bar high enough, flambé for a life of limbo

I Am Anaya January 18, 2024 at 4:53 PM Each puzzle piece IS unique, great humor, and choice of differences! David, is the bimbo still a bimbo if she plays chess? I Am Anaya January 19, 2024 at 10:37 AM Lol. I haven't played chess in years, my partners not interested in learning, perhaps not being taught by me. I still have my miniature chess game; it's missing a piece. lol. "Different Strokes" is amazing I'm sure it will place highly. David Kavanagh January 19, 2024 at 1:11 AM Heya Anaya! indeed each piece of the puzzle is unique, that was always my point, diversity in life will always throw up a puzzle, as for the bimbo it all depends on how she plays chess lol! Cheers David

Victor Buhagiar January 15, 2024 at 1:11 AM Lovely rhyme and poem. I am abandoning rhyme mainly. David Kavanagh January 15, 2024 at 2:58 AM I’m a rhymester at heart Victor, thank you for stopping by with kind words, cheers David

Tom Cunningham January 14, 2024 at 2:12 PM If we were all the same life would be boring with the same old same old. That said some people's choices leave a lot to be desired. Now where's that flyswat lol. Good luck in the contest David, enjoy your week ahead. Tom David Kavanagh January 14, 2024 at 2:34 PM It certainly would be a boring world Tom, I know circumstances differ from country to country, but come on some of the stuff out there I will never accept, although I do understand why it happens, I’ve put my swatter away for winter lol, cheers David
