Best Bring Home The Bacon Poems
About the 1500'sMost people got married in June because
They took their yearly bath in May
Body odor was the reason
Of the flowers in a bouquet
A big tub of hot water was used
For a bath, so that's not complex
The males's right was to go first
The women and children...

dealer. Today he's...

Different DreamAfter a hard day at work I come home
Hear my boy rapping the words to his headphones
Every bleep comes another bleep
As he keeps dancing to the beat
Come upstairs and barge through the door
Say to him, "Boy whatcha listenin' to that for?"
As I rip it out...

The Quintessential Parent TrapI created you
the angelic, and the impish
with my proud and selfless
love for you.
I enthusiastically ate for two
the sweet, the sour,
the salty, ravenous cravings.
I carried you
inside me, everywhere;
goodbye figure and posture
hello nausea and inexplicable dreams.
Laboring for hours
endless pain, draining my energy
to bring forth you
into this...

Mister ClicheMr Cliché was known for sleeping in his socks,
Where, he dreamt of thinking outside the box.
For breakfast as always he ate rather plain
Just porridge as he never went against the grain.
Sometimes when dressing he would mumble and tut,
Making sure, to never put the shoe...

WoofWoof
Translated: small package
Four legs, four paws, big jaws,
fancy ears and a long tail.
My dog is from the pound.
What did I expect?
He is six foot at the shoulder,
Reads books, on Saturday nights.
But, sadly he won’t eat generic brand fudge cycles.
Only...

I Feel So SmallDeer stroll in mists that disguise the ridges
Creating a heavenly peace that soothes
This feels spiritual, not religious
And the heart does go where the spirit moves
A bald eagle glides across naked limbs
Tries to discover a new home in them
The soft feel of this memorizes hymns
Brings images...

BoredomBoredom
Every single day I do the same stuff
I am shaken early in the morning
My days start already boring and rough
In the traffic, I listen to the honk horning
I want to stop and yell: Enough!
Oh, my feelings, my brain, it is storming
I keep thinking of some...

Lioness Mother Lioness mother
Creeps into the killing fields
She's got cubs to feed
Her hunger unslakable
And she'll bring home the bacon

Message Deliverypoet talking tough
must take a stand
poisoned children
to put me under thumb
the gossip mill of word of mouth
learning how to swim
understanding genocide
living in this predicament
its me versus you, versus them
time to make a decision
time to take a stand
we continue doing nothing
we're all gonna die
trying to remedy...

No Practice NeededTerry Pratchett said, the best fun alone is writting
Agreed, I find completing stunning poems exciting
When thunder grows and lightning shocks the sky
It provides the inspiration for what I've got to write
Not the type to stay inside if anything's happening
But on those dull days I bring...
