Michael Tor Poet Rhyme

Trick or Treating at Archie Bunkers house Inspired by Lin Lane

Trick or Treat, "Edith get the door," yells Archie!!
"Oh Archie they are so cute come and look Please."
 "Shut up Edith just give them their stupid candy, will ya?"
 " I'm not dealing with Meathead, you, and these brats all night, Na"
" Edith don't give Snickers bars, they're my favs, are you crazy?"


Michael Tor
Inspired by Lin Lane
Archie Bunker was
a rude SOB he starred
in a sitcom called All
In The Family. He had
no manners and 
treated his wife Edith
like she was dumb,
but Edith was smarter
than him...

Gershon Wolf November 14, 2024 at 8:40 PM Old Arch called up the local Army commander. He asked for five strong soldiers to help him move a tree that had fallen across his sidewalk. "But don't send me any of those, you know, darkies. OK, Sarge?' Sarge answers, 'Hope you are not disappointed, Mr. Bunker, but this is General Sol Cohen you are talking to, and five muscular Nigerian-born albinos are already on their way over, ...' lol. ~ gw Gershon Wolf November 28, 2024 at 8:31 PM 'Snickers' certainly fits 'Arch.' He loved 'em, and people snickered at him --- phony liberals, all of them, way more prejudiced than ole Arch, truth be told. Michael Tor November 14, 2024 at 10:20 PM Ha ha Gershon. I love this episode your referring to. The show was funny and Archie always got back what he deserved. His reactions were priceless. This one made me smile and laugh he was quite the character but I think during that time the bigotry was rampant and I think that is why the show was such a success. Enjoyed your comment Gershon thanks a bunch for sharing...

Andrea Dietrich November 13, 2024 at 12:12 PM I loved that show and I miss it. Well done, my friend Michael Tor November 14, 2024 at 10:22 PM Thank you Andrea. Yes it was a funny show. Archie always got schooled in the end by his family. It was great to watch his arrogance and behavior. Thanks for the visit hugs...

Kim Rodrigues November 8, 2024 at 7:29 AM He just made her look smarter…lol. He had a lot to overcome. The kiss by Sammy Davis Jr. was priceless. Loved the episode with him and Mike where Archie had a conniption when Mike put on one sock then a shoe..it was all wrong. Have a blessed day, my friend. Michael Tor November 8, 2024 at 1:24 PM Kim you reminded me of these great episodes I am going on You Tube and I am looking up these episodes maybe I will get lucky and find them, they are priceless lol. Thanks for stopping by and I loved your comment...

Hilda Greenhough November 1, 2024 at 7:25 PM I watched it a few times. It was very funny. It is great to look back at the shows that are gone. Michael Tor November 2, 2024 at 7:51 PM It is Hilda they were lots of fun to watch. I actually miss all the old shows... Thanks for your comment and stopping by. Have a nice evening...

Charles Messina November 1, 2024 at 3:05 AM LOL- You hit the nail on the head with this one, Michael. Archie was surely a rude SOB. Love this! Charlie Michael Tor November 2, 2024 at 7:50 PM Charlie I am glad you love it. He was an SOB. I tried to capture his personality. From reading your comment I think I succeeded. Thanks for your support and stay safe out there my friend...

Victor Buhagiar October 31, 2024 at 3:29 AM I used to watch this show. Great laughs, though Archie was a bit terse. Michael Tor October 31, 2024 at 12:38 PM I agree Victor Archie was a bit terse and a few other choice words. Thank you for stopping by Victor your comments I always love...

Jennifer Proxenos October 31, 2024 at 12:01 AM I don't know this show but it looks like the ones that do, enjoy it, sounds like fun although Archie does sound somewhat rude, glad his wife was smarter than him, she needed to be! Blessings, Jennifer. Michael Tor October 31, 2024 at 12:24 PM Jennifer Archie was so rude but he was hilarious. Please go on YouTube and type in All In The Family sitcom. You will be totally laughing I promise. It was a long running sitcom, I think you would enjoy it. Blessings back and a great big hug...

Karen Jones October 30, 2024 at 4:50 PM lol a fun read! Karen Jones October 30, 2024 at 9:41 PM Yes I watched the show in its prime with my family. I was a child but the irony and bigotry was not over my head. Michael Tor October 30, 2024 at 8:16 PM Karen this guy was the biggest Jerk there was. He always put his foot in his mouth. I do not know if you ever watched this tyrant of a man toward his wife, and son in law Meathead lol. Thanks for the comment. God bless you...

Paula Goldsmith October 30, 2024 at 9:49 AM What a fun read. Thanks for the laugh. She was a smart lady. Have a fun Autumn day................ Michael Tor October 30, 2024 at 8:14 PM She was, Dear Paula thanks for the visit Dear and the support you always give me God bless you...

Tom Cunningham October 30, 2024 at 12:22 AM Lol, some things you just don't give out at random. Tom Michael Tor October 30, 2024 at 8:13 PM So true Tom. Especially Archie the controlling Husband with racist undertones and no respect for his wife or anyone else in that manner. I have to say his show was funny and addicting. Most of the young folks Tom probably never heard of him or Meathead. Thanks for the comment my friend well appreciated...
