This Just Ain't My Day

Recall that rib-tickling comic named Dick
Boundlessly, he performed many a schtick.
      He could trip over his own feet 
      and dance never missing a beat.
Me? I just fall on my face -  Fiddlesticks! 

Clumsy oaf that I am, I get in my way;
sometimes when I move, my feet want to stay.
     It's an art to stumble then rise.
     I blame my shoes which are queen-size,
rub my head and say, "This just ain't my day!"

Premium Member H is at Play Here

hedgehogs, happy birthday hats and hamsters have a holiday
having hand-held hoes has highlighted Harry’s heavy Hanover hay
hellacious heavy thunderstorms hasten the hedgehogs away
leaving birthday hats and hamsters, who happily decide to stay.


Premium Member Bow wowsing the paper

bow wowsing the paper on a winter day
the puppy barked because he had a lot to say
his wife tried to simmer him down with a hey hey hey
He told her to stay out, to stay away

He had a shy bladder and could not pee or poop
If anyone was near, so never in any kind of group
His wife knew he was reading the paper, this doggy Jim
Because he always barked when things distressed him

Premium Member Bringing in Fireworks After Dark

fourth of July T-rex was carrying fireworks for the park
They would all be lit in a specific order after it got dark
People were seated on blankets, whispering about this lark.
Luckily, they did not see T-rex, as the park was so dark.

Premium Member blue man wants to hydrate everything

blue man had one mission but it was a big gun
Wanted to hydrate the planet, each and every one
Every plant, every person, every animal who existed.
We who heard the plan helped him. No one dare resisted.

We put water on everything and drank it as well
H2O from farm ponds, lakes, dams, reservoirs and every well
Blue man got famous and paid experts to hydrate the rest
I was exhausted from watering, so glad, I must confess

Distance

Between you and me,
Distance is gravity, 
A Distance makes you moon, 
And me sun, Your beauty,
Is nothing but from a distance,
Life is only the a status of,
Being at distance from  death, 
Things are things from a
Specific distance, 
Love is distance from hate. 
Who made the world 
By the distance, or,
By the God, 
Who made the God?  
By the distance!
Who made distance ?
By the God?

Prayer, a Citadel

Coins tossed into the wishing well
no match for prayer, a citadel.

Premium Member September 11th

My thoughts on when Jesus was born. From my book Ripples.
This is pure conjecture on my part. Just surmising.
I did do my homework on the astrology, but that doesn't prove 
my premise to be true.

Premium Member kraken bagged his first clipper ship

kraken bagged his first clipper ship on a Monday afternoon.
I love the feel of it in the bag, he told his cousin Swoon.
Swoon thought that keeping a ship in a bag was bad luck.
He asked how the creatures would breathe, but
Kraken did not give a gut

Premium Member sexy alligator sue

sexy alligator Sue sat alone, nursing her drink at the bar
the umbrella in her rum turned a bit, not very far
Whispered to her you are going to find the love of our life
Along came an English man, but he was with his third wife

Sue knew she was a hottie, she played it to the max
The next fellow she saw, was carrying a super large sax
He played sorrowful blues music, which caused her to blush
Against a thin wall, you could hear a toilet flush

This is a dive, thought sexy alligator, but I dare not give up now
Next potential date brought his mother, a persnickety cow
Women who eat in bars are pathetic, she said to Sexy Alligator Sue
Pointing her hoof in a nasty way – mean lady, that cow Lou.

Premium Member william wee the shy walrus

William Wee the whacky walrus from Waikiki
brought along a book, a banana and a ukelele
the book was about aliens, he was creeped out about them
the banana was rotten in places, we cut it down on a whim

the ukelele was great, and William Wee’s singing voice fine
He sang songs to us all day, I believe I counted twenty-nine
You cannot say he is not a party all by himself, my dad said.
William Wee was humble and shy; his ears promptly turned red

Premium Member feather queens new headdress

feather witch queen had a colorful headdress of feathers
she showed it off to her familiar, a black crow named Weathers
Weathers was irritated with the dyed job, it is fake he said.
She got angry and gave him a super noogie on his fat little head.

Premium Member Is Everything Ducky

Everything is ducky in their house I bet
I turned and saw the twins – Annie and Annette
Wearing duck hats and ducks on their feet
With dour expressions, they never look sweet

Sure, just ducky I agreed and we all had a laugh
The elephant, raccoon, me and the giant giraffe
Annie and Annette have been grumpy since day one.
I do not think they have even once had a bit of fun

The fact that they dress in ducks is amusing to us
They look stupidly silly, said a sloth name of Gus
He rarely comments, said the elephant’s daughter.
I smiled myself as these grumps came out of the water.

Wearing ducks as if to say everything is ducky
When their expressions always say the world is yucky
The contrast brought a bit of a smile on me
Then they turned and dove back into the Indian Sea.

Premium Member No Cap

No cap, that's how I roll
My story, totally whole
No faking a single part,
Just open; an honest heart

My spirit shines bright,
A natural, easy light
Words flow, a friendly stream,
Living out my best dream

Connections bloom,
Chasing away all gloom
A good vibe I share,
With rizz in the air

No ceiling above,
Just freedom, full of love
I live with no cap, you see,
The real, the happy, the me

Premium Member sheila lives in more than one world

Sheila lives in more than one world, traveling with delight
Yesterday she was in the Orient, flying a gorgeous Japanese kite
Today she traveled down the Amazon, petting black pumas on her way
An avid reader, Sheila journeys a new world, each and every day

Every book she opens is a potential notch off her bucket list.
Today a faerie castle popped out in a lovely lavender mist.
Sheila learns more in her chair than most travelers know to do.
She has been around the world many times, maybe twenty-two.
