500 Pounds of Pasta
Along a Jersey creek, somebody
Made a crazy find – 
500 pounds of pasta had been 
Somehow left behind.

Whoever dumped the noodles
(Mainly elbows and spaghetti)
Isn’t known, but word got out and
There was lots of wordplay ready.

“Pastabilities were endless,”
Was reported and, as well,
“The perpetrators need
The penne-tentiary,” I...

500 Days
When first I swayed her eyes a perfect round,
With hair that fell so circular and dark.
Spherical girl -- not rotund or fat-bound,
With curves that flow in wide expanse of arc.

By dawn the night does wane to working day.
With awe I fill her every need profound...

Premium Member Fiat 500
New Fiats can be seen on the roads of our nation
since they took the reins of the Chrysler Corporation.
One hundred and eight horsepower does not seem like a lot.
However, that's all we need.  The engine gives all it's got.
This Italian machine is quite a...

My Fortune 500
My Fortune 500 Company is a billion dollar businesses
Filled with inspirations, diversity, and motivational visions
 
Corporate cars, business attire, which all are comforted with money out the ass
But I wonder if the clarity of defining your fortune 500 has to deal with cash!?!?

Galaxie 500
Galaxie 500

Teenage boys pile into the rusted and dented 
maroon sedan from another time.

The 292 with mechanical lifters comes to life with the rasp of a muffler 
whose days are more than numbered.

Sounds of freedom and rebellion bellow from a stolen 8 Track.

Time to escape...

I Should Be 500 Miles From Here
The hardest part
I have felt in a while
is saying that word
and walking my miles

Life tears away
the very thing we love
Being with you
and I just can't get enough

Don't ever forget
about what we could've had
Put a smile on your face
for the good, not the sad

I will find...

No aversion nor embarrassment
admitting, divulging, and jumpstarting
poetic endeavor regarding yours truly
afflicted, blighted, and contracted
with urinary tract infection,
(though condition finds me
feeling pissed off),
whereby urination fraught with
painful burning, gouging,
and stinging sensation.

Aside from the aforementioned ailment
practically, nearly, nay already cured,

It is the Indianapolis 500, I am in the lead of course.

They are on the final stage 
Of being in their Nascar cage 
Soon they will leave the Daytona sun 
And under the lights this car racing contest will be done

It is time to deal with the pit crew...
