Advantage, noticeable
Intimidating.

Rabbits ears are the one advantage they have says one
they are delicate, so these ears are a warning to run
rabbits keep them straight up, pointed to the sun
For their enemies are all over the place, says one.

The quotes say's kill them with kindness,
so you offer the most righteous kind of kindness you can,
And they take that kindness that you so carefully cultivated and nurtured,
And with gates wide open you allow them to freely pick from your kindness Orchard,
But through arrogance and greed they take advantage of this act of kindness,
Taking more and more until the Orchard is bare of ripeness and brightness
That kindness you gave has now become your weakest weakness,
A weakness they've taken full advantage of with such boldness,
And now they unleash an assault of venomous vileness,
Because you're consciously depriving them of a kindness,
That they once helped themselves too that they picked from mindlessly,
And now they act surprised to see,
That there's nothing left to pick from the Orchards kindest kindness tree,
They are left hungry craving the fondness of The Orchards kindness,
Which it gave so willingly so blindly so kindly, The kindness Orchard will one day Bloom again divinely,
But the gates will never again sit open idly,
They will only open to guests that are chosen much more wisely.

when with much plantage
would want to take advantage
of poems i manage
while being a sage
would write my poems page by page
which was latest rage
with capacity
would have much tenacity
for sagacity
had a head with bone
either against wall would stone
or leave me alone
when he was a priest
together puzzle had pieced
he would be a beast
had been annoyed
horrible hemorrhoid
was celluloid
when pneumonic
broke barrier and sonic
had been plutonic
with apartment posh
his both hands from case would wash
when into would squash
Trump i would offend
my poem will amend and append
more sins he will send

What is that? I asked staring into the rainbow mist.
There was movement, and it was coming hard and fast.
Others did not see, but I ran toward the rainbow.
Determined to see what I thought I saw.
No one ran after me; people consider me strange.
Pixies, elves, faeries and a leprechaun greeted me.
Where are the others? The leprechaun asked.
He handed me his pot of gold too.
I kept it a secret for years and years.
Being childlike has its advantages.
Not only did I meet pixies, elves and faeries.
But gold comes in handy.
The only downside is that the leprechaun lives with you.
He moves in and does not move his feet when you vacuum.
He does not bathe, and his teeth are decaying and smelly.
But the gold was nice while it lasted.

You've great eyes my dear,
Why do you hide?
Away from the sight of men.
Your presence alone,
Kills the Cold
Making the water
Warm for a cool bathe
Why do you hate?
When men come near.
Our skeleton are full of energy
Our feelings, more positive.
As our brains release hormones
Through the increase of your light
We only come to say thank you

Hastily stretched, crackled urgent ocean edge relents
Ashamed attempt to escape rejoins campaign of mass
Furtive dig below propels conspirator spasm, next next
Murders brash bouys, cranky spa champagne embrace
Swum undulations, bare back mermaid's dips resurface
Her furvour ploughs halobiont plenty scape, nourished
Snapped lobster lavishly celebrates bountiful turquoise
Sway gaze brazen by bobbing safe island encouraged
Crill swirl sweeps dripped lips, sun baked rock decreed
Beacon mound majesty painted daily in sea gull exhalt
Coconut snow flakes sparkle on cockle clamour bleed
Wave blown eroding scales slow exhales evaporate salt
Ripe globes ground reaped glug nectar so gluttonous
Fibres hibernate ivory rich liquors tipsy Secret Benefits
Land languish survivor devours sugar shards sumptuous
Wipes moreish mouth aft treasure trove haemorrhages

Being criticized by sage
it's totally flattering
tremendously stimulating...
Being criticized by ignorant,
it's execration and cursing,

Baldies of the world, do not despair!
It's not the end, you just lost some hair!!
Balder men are more virile, thus spake a sage
And many a woman "testify" to this old adage..
Balder men are noted to be wise and mature
Trusted by everyone, their thoughts kind and pure
No need for shampoos, combs or for hair cream
No need for a barber even in the wildest dream
Every day we can have a fresh head bath day
Not just once a week or only on one Sunday
Hairline well receded, you never seem to age
As you reach middle age, that'll be an advantage
You can fit into a cap or hat or any headgear with ease
Or you can wear a stylish wig, as fashions never cease
Father of our Nation was bald, so were Nehru and Patel
You may be considered great, and you can weave a tale!
So, Baldies of the world, don’t despair!
It is not the end, you just lost some hair!

The House Guest
You found yourself in a bind
and ask me if I would mind
You say you need a place to stay
it would only be for one day
The day turned into nights
the nights turned into days
Your entire family is here
and drama is all that I hear
No room left for my thoughts
my stomaches tied up in knots
Kids screaming they want fed
and you never put them to bed
You show up with your brood
didn't even bring your own food
I run out to the store
but you want even more
Fighting you are up until dawn
oh how you carry on and on
No offer has yet been made
I am the only one who has paid
Before it was just me
now it's me and you times three
The place is such a mess
I don't need this distress
Expenses explode once more times four
Let me show you to the door
Dysfunctional you are with your spouse
Just get your family out of my house

Try to do good
Smile. Be nice
When asked for a favor
Don't have to think twice
I 'm charitable, generous
Believe that kindness is key
Trust good karma is cyclical
It'll come back to me
But disillusion and pain
Is all I get in return
Lies and backstabbing
Somehow tables get turned
I'm portrayed as a villain
That I am to blame
For all your misfortune
It's part of your game
You play on my sympathies
Take advantage of me
Then twist and manipulate
Rewrite history
You are the reason I can't trust a soul
Why I hide in the darkness
I'm always alone
I'm tired with hurting
Done being played
Lost faith in everyone
Always feeling betrayed
But you are the farmer
You watered this seed
No good deed goes unpunished
You did this to me

Trefinder smelled the strangers days before he came upon them
Landing on this planet had increased his sniff-finder a thousand times.
He had to forbid his crew from wearing deodorant after a few hours.
For the first time he could see the benefit to his sniff-finder now.
They had already accidentally surprised two tribes
Who chased them down, and fed them to their horses.
This was day one, and he had no hope he would live to see evening.
Part of him was resigned, tired of running, and the hiding terrified him.
Whose idea was it to send him on this mission?
He sent his hatred toward the Emperor of the NoGame Celts.
It was his doing; Trefinder did not have to take this commission
Until he wrote to his mother and explained how it would make a man out of him.
More likely it would make meat or soup out of him.
He heard the war cries, whoops and screams as they came toward.
They were faster than the others, and appeared twice as violent
As if that was possible….
