Best Addle Poems

I'm as free as the wind as I sway in the saddle!
I love life!  There's no clutter, nothing to addle!
I give my faithful horse Wild Lightning free rein,
As we meander across God's magnificent terrain!

My pal Spooks trots ahead surveying sagebrush and crags.
I sense that...

Seeds were sown on fertile soil while 
SOME FELL upon STONEY GROUND

(This is a poem about one of the latter)

Oh affluent lady in smart design
Scurrying to Tim’s bar to taste of wine
But one and all can see beneath the paint
Scars that pay heed to a...

Addle-minded, weak in the head
Or taken by the bottle is sometimes said
Cannot be trusted, keep him in sight
Lock all your medicines in a cabinet tight
Do not trust his judgment he is easily confused
And he seems to forget the substances he abused

Constant reminders of behaviors, not...

Budgeri
The good budgery fella with a bottle of rum,
Pretty good bird is the budgery-gar one,
Arthur eyeshades came a walking by,
One eye one ear one rissole,
Looking for the budgery fella, why?
A little nip was good as gold,
Where are you budgery fella,

Ole Yarraman the horse he was,
And...

As dusk their line visibly bows
Cropped heads beneath mounds fold
Glum shadows through addle fields row

Listless turrets sprout o'er demarcated woe
Sallowed eyes in bleary sockets rolled
As dusk their line visibly bows

Shocked ears to concussive barrage close
As sighs from clogged lungs are paroled
Raspy shadows through addle fields...

the staff here at lim’rik flats
has noticed a shortage of laughs
poetry soupers
need some whoopers
Please double your sillies by halfs

And just so you will not get bored

(and playing is half the reward!)

There on your tongue, on...

Time left me here along time ago.
With addle sensability, saying I don't know.
Looking for an avenue to find somewhere to go.

Only insperation is left to guide the way.
Hopefully theres enough left so that I...

I am cleaning out my junk drawer 
It's been on my list to do 
My junk is over-flowing 
It's now long past over-due 

Inside is my collection 
Of things I sometimes use 
Bits and nails and thumbtacks 
And a dozen odd-size screws 

There's a hammer...

Acid has become our rain
and oceans with mercury do we stain
dioxin lies beneath our ground
in everything toxic materials be found
 
E-coli is used to alter genes in food
where recombinant DNA is understood
heavy metals do the population addle
as the health industry lose continuing battle
 
With the...

From exceeding Daily limits

It took me time to embellish 
myself
And long to reach you!

And there I stand confronting 
you and lionise,
Behaving uncontrived and 
candid!

And now you waste golden 
moments talking to my better 
half,
Bereft me and become 
nonpareil!

Your fairer half still sits staid,
Not inveighing our inexorable 
closeness!

Do not...
