Well this will be my last Alphabet gossip poem
As l was summoned to Alphabet H.Q’s this morning
Told in no uncertain terms there will be ‘no more Alphabet gossip’
And given my final warning

So, l wanted to tell you about the letter A
Who stands full of pride...

Bipolar Med Bets
Seroquel made me sleep and gain weight,
 Abilify constantly made me pace,
 But Paxil made me lose my cool,
 Plus talk too much like a fool,
 And Geodon gave me insomnia of late...

So either fattened up in a grog,
 To the point of being a...

Premium Member Bets On Christmas Cow
Christmas Cow wanted to be a reindeer for sure.
He had a special hat made, and he made his heart pure.
His neighbors thought it was hilarious and funny.
His friends bet each other some real money, 

That Christmas Cow would become a snowman too.
They were not surprised...

Place Your Bets
at the start, it was to be competitor
choose only one corridor 
or not to be there, or nowhere 
and lose all what we plan for
who knows at the arrival maybe 
there will be a seat to acquire
to bet on the right card you had to...

Premium Member Critterature: Place Your Bets
A yak and a yeti made a bet
To see which one was the hairiest.
The yak was an ox,
And the yeti, no "fox",
Had already won as the scariest.
Neither had the allure
Of the latest coiffure,
They were unkempt and creasy and craggy.
Then a monk passing by
Judged the bet...

Where You Place Your Bets
Like inadequacies, you run amok
 in this foolish game of chance.
Running idle without direction,
 you sit in my driveway waiting for a form of tomorrow.
Let me take you for a spin this time;
Let me drag you through this mud and silt.
I have a collection of...

Place Your Bets
Is it loss to lose your child

To the world of adulthood?

Or is it a gift so precious

Made in love when all was good?

Is it worth loving someone

If in the end the End will take?

Or do I love in good faith

If only for love's sake?

Should I...

Placing Bets
PLACING BETS

restless impatient
mistakes  
cold regrets of new
intakes
it takes one night too
long
placing bets high and
strong

holding wild cards too
close
wrecks  those we love 
most

shut up sit down first class let down

dark velvet midnight
talker
filthy clay grey alley
stalker
burning flames fast fuel
pace
day late ultimate
disgrace

shut up sit down first class...

Premium Member White Sweetie Poodle Always Bets On Red
White Poodle Sweetie always bets on red.
Never wins but is consistent in her bets.
The whole roulette table is in an uproar.
White Poodle Sweetie is betting on black!
The cry went up. Every dog began barking and squealing.
The entire casino went wild; it was crazy.
Local reporter and...
