As Usual She Did Not Take Part
I’ll never forget what’s her name
A PE teacher and ogre she became
For I was such a sickly child
it really made this ogre wild
Held in my hand a medical certificate 
exempted from all things physical
with Rheumatic Fever and St Vitus’ Dance
for me to take part ~...

Business As Usual
Rock Hardon just called a staff meeting
To hear a complaint about cheating 
Our Xerox machine
Could not be wiped clean
So privates were publicly sheeting...

Nary earthly idea what needs done next,
each candidate seeks his opponent’s hex.
   Their Agapes are sloppy,
   carnal mistake they copy,
lost in a googolplex of carnal fix!

All their tables are full of their vomit,
very much so with all idle comment!

They promise the sun, moon and stars

     Kiss all the babies and pass out cigars

          Wild campaign vows are spoken

This one called that one a crook;
That one called this one a dud.
Neither could be clearly seen,
Once they were done slinging mud....

Premium Member Mindfulness As Usual
If I had an IQ of 17, 
would this be normal?

My son, 
with cerebral palsy, 
no language capacity, no LeftBrain ability to read or write 
or speak using linguistic tools, 
with no hint of verbal or violent dominance issues, 
has an angelic peace-loving IQ 
in...

Business As Usual
Our boss employed a receptionist
Whose beauty we could not compare
Double D cups woke up the knights
As pheromones surged through the air

Her chair is usually empty
Excepting this handwritten note:
"I have just stepped out for the male"
Exactly as written I quote...

As Usual Again
As Usual Again

My and my elegant wife must excuse
We're driving to Florida going on a cruise
Of course my wife won't think I am funny
When I said we never had enough money.

Going on great cruise did desire to do
After brochures we looked through a few
Naturally wife...

Business As Usual
mr. mccain (remember him?  yes, he’s still alive & still a sold-out withering shell of a man)
steps up to the pulpit &
belts out into the mic that will be broadcasted round the world,
saying that libya is an inspiration for those in
tehran,
damascus,
and even those in...

Business As Usual
Thomas Watson works to cure
the diversity of man
with computers to assure
no one takes flight from their plan

as the mesh gets cinched tighter
behind lines then walls of stone,
dooming writer and fighter
to brave barricades alone

while the cabal keeps gaining
freedoms we should be saving.
Brotherly trust drifts; waning
flags are...

As Usual Again
As Usual Again

As usual again write poem could not resist;
America to me still does seems so sexist;
A woman not time;
Would be big crime,
And elect another male they had to insist.

Empty As Usual
Once again, I am feeling empty
Try to feel me…try to mess with me…
I dare you to, baby…do it majestically
I don’t want to feel empty no more, but eventually,

I will always numb the pain of emptiness as usual…
Emptiness as usual 

God will mend my scars by...

Premium Member Downhill As Usual
Downhill I came, hungry, and yet not starved. 
Great lines, something to think about (Edward Thomas) 
Woke up to the rain and the wind beating on my windowpane, 
Yet I thought of getting dressed and going there. 
A subway system, so far not yet up...
