A braggart for sure
The top best at everything
Amazing stories
A hit at a few parties
Until we could not stand him.

Bona Fide Boaster

He always loved the roller coaster, the Triple Loop
Rode it seventy times and never puked

Hands in the air going down hills
He never tired of upside down thrills

He was a vet of the roller coaster
Not a newbie, or rookie, but a bona fide boaster

So proud he was, so sure of the ride
That he paid no attention to the signs on the side -

The ones that tell you to never stand up -
Well he did, and paid the price soon enough

He was decapitated within a second or two
His head flew like a ball, into the blue! 

Screams of fun turned to screams of terror
As everyone realized the rider’s grave error 

Blood spattered shirts, hair, and faces
Came in with his body, slumped in its place

The M.E. called it, “accidental suicide” -
Citing it as the ride of his life

And unfortunately, the ride of his death 
But at least he died happy, shouting “Wheeee”, with his last breath

Boaster Rap

BOASTER   RAP


Sometimes the guys used to sit around chugging bird-beer 
Boasting of chicks they’d  held dear.
Some British guy started  in... Well, I was going out with some nice birds
We said - Oh man, don’t use  those British  words!

Listen,  there  was this chick once,   lemme   tell ya  the tale.
She liked to  chatter  all day and flirt
But man she was one piece of tail
Her name was  Robin  - always wore  a  sexy red  tee shirt,   

And  hey, I knew this Rhode Island  who was always looking for a  roll in the hay
Claimed she was a-looking  for  her eggs....  oh yeah  

Well Man,  birds of feather flock together   ( Shocking ! )
We   sure did a lot of flocking
Till she flew the coop with some guy,  some pal  
Who was a helluva snappy dresser  - always  kinda formal
Evening dress coats   -  used to swim in cold water a lot   you know?
Crazy swimming dude,  liked winter,  ice and snow

She was forever trying to  get me to build a  nest
I said no way baby  and strutted my colourful stuff – the finest.
Shucks, it wasn’t gonna be permanent,    but I could wing it with her
Then  go south,   take a powder, disappear
For a while,  you  know   - bit of  diving and soaring -
And maybe sometimes scoring   

British guy came back with this comment, like I never heard   
Oh really?  Well I have had a Rough-faced Shag
And a  Northern Screamer and a Wagtail who really knew how to wag.
But now I concentrate on only  one bird,  my T-bird.

These Brits always try to over-awe.
You know, that really sticks in my craw


Premium Member You Are Not Magical

I am magical, I said. I can control her.
You cannot!
Yes, I can, and I do.
You do not!  
My eight-year-old twin is angry now, with a mean face.

I do not back down.  Want to see?
How?
What do you want me to make her do?
Make her come down those stairs.

During Jeopardy?
I am backing up now.
Our mother loves Jeopardy, it is the only TV show she believes in.
I cannot control her during Jeopardy.

I wrack my brain 
and it quickly comes up with a plan.
I smack her favorite blue glass vase off the top of the TV set.

There is a loud cracking sound.
My sister’s face turns into a horror movie.
She runs off, screaming “MAWWWWWWMMMMMMMM!”

Stomp. Stomp. Stomp.
See? I think stupidly. 
I am magical!
Impulsivity is my middle name.

Boaster About Booster of a Booster

An Old Roster Needed a Booster

had been boaster
about booster of a booster
for an old roster

from head to his tail
while whiling away a whale
behind left big trail

why did his behind
have left big trail or maybe
big trail left behind

went out on a lamb
when I had heard that Instagram
sure was such a sham

much food on platter
caused me to become fatter
record did shatter

there once was a dunce
liked making punts and pulling stunts
would do only once
