91.
My 19th Leaf
Plucked thee from near ground
Outdoor ornament
On Bermuda grass
It's the plant type one
Decorative “fern”!
By Hachuela clan
Neighbor relative
It belongs to them
Planted by someone
To grace their front yard
January Thirteen
Friday Twenty Twelve
Ante Aclet's wake
Night before burial
And saw Marvic G.
Neighborhood to South
Way to Codingle
Not along the road
Yellow-painted house
Just in front its porch
Friday the Thirteenth
Last day – Amaya
Hour before watching
Saw CapSU backers
I, Nanay & kin!

Football’s not a game, it’s a weekend war
Baseball’s a battle a day, myriad games played
Business is cutthroat competition
‘Dog-eat-dog’ ~ every man for himself
Hollywood and hospitals: grapevines
like lightning, with stab-in the backers
Computer systems assaulted by malware and hackers
No easy answers to a world at war
No one questioning what life is for
Forty thousand duck attackers
call themselves the Southside Quackers.
In high places, they have backers.
They want more than cheese and crackers.
It's just like my mother said,
"Don't eat too much before you go to bed".
I give up writing the ‘great American poem’…
started after college
in my garage
but it was all a mirage…
Now all my backers – I owe ‘em
The vibrant popinjay has gone.' The harlequin no more really
Spins in song.' The magic's now all in a can.' Younger female backers
Parry times looming advance plan..' The age'd icon takes his glances
Across the acres, of yearning souls in hopefull trances..Parody banners they lie.' beneath sultry skies.' Echo the effigy of the past, See it burned in the mans eyes.'
Actions Describe.' Writ large the irony of life.' Youth has
Flown.' All hail its ghost, Ronnie strums, the speakers hum.'
Geri-acrity...Fumbles combinations and with alacrity..' 0yet theres really not one chance.' No way back.' All I see is false hope.' Rod Stewart is a husk.' Not yet voiceless.' Nor danceless yet
Its the back end, of the romance.!
What is going to take for our legislators to put in safe gun laws
The ones we have on the books in most states are so deeply flawed
Everyone should have the right to defend their homes
But assault weapons we do not need to own
We will never get all the guns out of the hands of bad actors
But hopefully, we could change the minds of some of our gun backers
Tougher gun laws will never end these mass shootings
What it will do however is lower the number, of which I think we would all salute
A lot of the people who commit these crimes have made threats online
People who monitor these sites need to report these individuals in record time
My heart goes out to everyone who has lost a loved one to gun violence
Think if it was one of our loved ones, how long could we remain in silence
Cave Kellers and Dig Wellers
David J Walker
Christians that go to hell
will have one
Hell of a story to tell
In the
Nick of time but no place to
Dwell among tent dwellers the
Cave kellers the dig
Wellers the rhyme
Travelers the street
Sellers and day
Sailors the night
Failures the pay
Traders the flesh
Peddlers the time
Piddlers the mind
Benders the fence
Minders the prime
Lenders the crime
Numbers the prince
Paupers the door
Stoppers the bargain
Shoppers the grass
Hoppers old teeny
Boppers and hogg
Sloppers with chart
Toppers and good
Coppers and hoola-
Hoopers and party
Poopers and hot
Peppers and self
Checkers and fat
Backers with back
Packers of heart
Stoppers and flip
Floppers and hot
Flappers and splish
Splashers and party
Crashers and hot
es and bad
Bastards
Christians that go to hell
will have no one to blame
in the hottest of flame
But one hell of a story
to tell
We don’t like it when you talk back.
We’re in power, so we’ll have less of that.
Protest because of our lies and fascist policies.
Well, I don’t know if you plebs understand where the power is!
You see if you talk back it means you’re standing up to all our lies and our crap.
If you create a scene by standing up together, well that means that you could eventually control the power!!!
Because we’re Tories and we lie for a living. We just want you to keep on giving. So we’ll screw you hard and tax everything. We’ll make you plebs suffer with this ‘cost of living’
But if you stand up in mass and numbers. We’ll get really scared and hide in our fridges. Because the only thing that can stop the flow is the vehement look in your eyes when you plebs act in crowds. A general action will bring us to our knees because our billionaire backers will lose money.
Donald Trump loves his Russian backers
Who moonlight as KGB hackers
With silent stealth
Plundering wealth
Whilst Bojo reveals Christmas crackers
Fierce was their hatred for Reagan
Now for Mr. Trump all the more
At his State of the Union Speech
The Dems aimed to even the score
Trump's backers still cheering
his "Best is Yet to Come" close
Ms. Pelosi ripped up all his notes
then struck a defiant pose...
'Midst all of Washington's partisan woes
Nancy Pelosi proved nearly anything goes
Angels Net Flies--
sainting aurora
A black, thundery net flies
because of the ghost
backers aurora
A wide, thundery net flies
in spite of the host

Trump Supplies of Lies
Trump sure seems to have so many supplies,
Of stories and myths all substantiated by lies;
Leader of pack,
And not intact;
Even his supporters and backers now realize.
Jim Horn
I wonder what the tricks are now
For once, they used to be
Some splattered eggs or toilet paper
Draped around a tree.
Another one was sidewalk chalk
All crushed within a sock
Which then was bashed against a stoop,
Much to the owner’s shock.
The treats are much the same these days,
Though home-made ones are gone,
Yet are there any people left
To play those tricks upon?
For candy-holding-backers
Will pretend they aren’t there
Or else the consequences might
Be more than just a scare.
Something New
Have you longed for something new
like ketchup on your crackers
To hang out till the break of dawn
with multiple kick backers
A peanut for a new best friend
unless you are allergic
A submarine in your back yard
so easy to submerge it
A watermelon kitchen sink
with seeds to help the drainage
A brand new wash cloth made of fur
to softly clean the stainage
A pickup truck with tap shoe wheels
so down the road you’re clicking
A new comb for your head of hair
with grease for easy slicking
To stick your neck out really far
like you have been giraffe-ing
Have you longed for something new
like this that leaves you laughing

This was a tough one and definitely something new for me. : )
Senator Lindsey Graham is crackers
As are all those Bill Cosby backers
Females are not toys
For abuse by boys
Who are clearly sadistic bushwhackers!
