Best Charlton Poems


Mitt Mormon Royalty Romney

Comin' in, his names Mitt Romney Candidate Presidential 
Make a little wish and throw your savings in the well
Say's he's gonna drag the US back but drag it back to what
Back from the Economic brink or back towards the missing link

Girls get in line for the kitchen sink

Su Imigración solución? Hacer Ingles el lengua oficial 
Must 'ave forgotten his granddad was an immigrant as well
The old Chiefs must be dancing at the hypocrisy of one lot 
Of American dreamers telling the next lot they're not aloud to dream

His great granddad was King of the LDS (Latter Day Saints)

Repeal undo cancel out all Obama's done
All good Americans buy a bible and a gun
Repeal undo cancel out Obama's best
Don't agree with what he says 
You must be a ****in' terrorist

Rom's approach to the Economy
Is to print a few more Greenbacks
Undo what Obama's done and
Abolish Corporate income tax
He's into wealthcare wealthcare 
Forget about your healthcare
Stop blugging from your employer
Buy your own god damn insurance
Or get yourself a lawyer

On National Security his favorite topic
He says don't get me wrong
It's worth talking to these people
But if they wont listen to Salt Lake sense
We're not going to talk for long
The Republicans star Quarterback's
Crystal clear on Social Issues
No abortions
No pink weddings dear
No stays of exicusion

Repeal undo cancel out all Obama's done
All good Americans vote yourself a Mormon son
Repeal undo cancel out Obama's best
Don't agree with what he says 
Are you strapping plastic under that vest

So allow me to reiterate

Should The Rom win the coming election
We'll all be getting ****ed by his
Presidential ******** the
Charlton Heston looky-likey's grand plan
Is to help the Mormon Church expand
He'll be sucking the Corporate shlong each day
Even though he hates the gays
And look out Iran its time to invade
The Romnater's leading  the Mormon Crusades

God bless the Republicans

Aurora

so, another shooting in
the belly of the empire…

i wonder if Charlton Heston’s
withery old cock just 
sprung to life?

i wonder if Ted Nugent & 
Charlton Heston are sitting in
front of the television together
stroking each other’s hard hard
members with one hand,
whilst gripping their guns in the
others?

i wonder if James Holmes grew up
in the same culture that 
dwells in the belly of the beast,
the same culture that develops in the
belly of the empire like cancer spreading,
the same culture that worships
guns like it does money, like it does
“jesus,” like it does the violence that
it propels across the heads of all
who live outside its borders?

hmmm.

and the sound bite keeps pumping
like house bass in our ears 
that it all happened at the premiere of the
new Batman movie---
as if it never could have happened on 
opening night of “Madagascar 3,” or
“Ted,” or “Brave,” or “Ice Age:
Continental Drift”---as if Christian Bale &
Tom Hardy somehow instigated
a man to kill people in a public theater…

so was Batman playing on Sept. 5th, 1949, in
Camden, NJ?  was Batman playing on Aug.
6th, 1966, at the University of Texas in 
Austin?  was Batman playing on Sept. 25th,
1982, in Wilkes-Barne, Pennsylvania? was
Batman playing July 18th, 1984?  how about
the 16th of October in 1991?  how about 4/20/99?
and 4/16/07? 3/10/09?  
04/
3/
09?
11/
5/
09?

yes, america, blame Aurora on 
Christopher Nolan, just like you did 
Marilyn Manson for 
Eric & Dylan,
then walk away with your 
NRA stickers &
your fist in the air
every time a drone kills another bunch of
people in Pakistan “accidentally.”

THEY ARE ALL JUST
“ISOLATED
INCIDENTS,”
RIGHT?

Premium Member 1959

In '59 the world was fine.
in yellow, childlike summertime. 
There was Charlton Heston, being" Ben Hur"
Fidel Castro's ferocious slur.
brand new '59 Ford Galaxies
people on trains going "North by Northwest"
a man wanting to marry a man cause" Some Like it Hot" 
and wars were cold.
Killers were crazy, caught and hanged,
and the greatest hairdo was a ponytail and bang.
There was family TV, family meal and family car.
Refrigerators powered big buxom doors,
and the ice cream man cometh 
the gasman, milkman and doctor.
Born were Boeing 707's, Barbie Dolls and colorized "Bonanza" 
as the 60's danced on the shoulders of this golden era,
all bliss and pink paradise
visions, visions, of cat eye marbles and jacks left to keep 
of snow-cones, bicycles, hula hoops
mellowing into a silver decade
no pain, no American tears
pure trust.
Until their blood
splattered on us.

Premium Member Ride On, Charlton

Charlton Heston rode on a horse down the beach.
He and his newly-found lady friend escaped the apes.
Something he saw brought a startling epiphany.
Charlton realized he was back home, but in the future
when he discovered the decaying remains of the Statue of Liberty.
How could the process of evolution retrogress?
This was enough to make the average person do away with themselves.
However, the producers needed him to star in a sequel.

Based on the 1968 film “Planet of the Apes”

Comic Book Advocate

Used to thrill 
     to the Fantastic Four, X - Men 
    Sometimes ever Charlton or Classics illustrated
   Dare I mention to my educated friends  
       that I still read comic books?
or even to anyone 
    that I enjoy 
   Archie - with hamburger eating Jughead
 the poor and rich girls 
      Betty and Veronica ?
I advise you to take a 
    comic book trip 
They are not just for children

The Great Mahele

The Hawaiian islands were overwhelmed,
In the year eighteen hundred forty-three,
Hawaiians were prisoners, promptly held,
By Captain George Paulet a Lord he'd be.

Constraining the islands for his monarch,
Accusations formed by Richard Charlton,
The islands British Consul a suave shark,
Aberrant land swindler cursed charlatan.

Prod Captain British subjects land taken,
Put was U.S. Captain Long ne'er meddle,
Commodore Kearny's U.S. warships end,
Six months seizure--awards a nonmetal.

Paulet cut our flags Union Jack now flys,
In part plus changing words immortalize.

2021 November 16

"Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono." (Hawaiian)
"The life (or sovereinty) of the land is perpetuated in righteousness." (English)
Hawaii's State Motto/Creed and Hawaii's State Seal

King Kamehameha III, of The Kingdom of Hawaii, said those words as part of his message to the people of the Hawaiian kingdom after British ships withdrew rather than risk conflict with America. The acts of the usurpers caused the king to establish "The Great Mahele", giving land to the commoners, whereto, I'm now a benefactor thereof.

King Kamehameha I friendship with England caused the inclusion of The Union Jack as part of Hawaii's State Flag. It has eight stripes of white, red, and blue that represent the eight main islands. The Union Jack flew o'er the islands during the seizure, but the Hawaiian Flag was restored after it was learned that England never sanctioned the occupation.

S P a M

Those from the islands
consider it a feat
to partake of this meat.
They fry it for breakfast
and the day's not complete
unless it's stirred into soups
simmered to red heat.

(Refrain)
Not even Charlton Heston
would touch that intestine.
A Chinese yam
an old picnic ham
All take a front seat
to that pink, greasy meat.

A preliminary exam
of that container of spam
reveals the discrete
use of waste meat.

Bowels and snouts
the back of the lap
mixed with chassis lube
and other such crap.
Teats, and feet
stuff off the street
compound the most part
of that horrible meat.

{Refrain)

Yes, ma'am
We are serving spam
We are under the orders
of Uncle Sam.
We're conserving best cuts
by eating the guts and
conserving resources
by grinding up horses

Charlton Heston and My Childhood

CHARLTON    HESTON   AND   MY    CHILDHOOD


To say so in those days would surely have been libel
But  better than hellfire screamed  from pulpits above
Were the sandal and toga movies about the bible
They always spoke softly to me about God’s love

It seemed so logical, to do  good - so just, so appropriate. 
God told Heston go forth, and  lead people away from Brynner:
When Charlton Heston  told you to do it
He said it not for show but from a love which was  inner.

Seemed to me in movies the good guys got rewarded 
And the hypocrites  always got exposed -
Reminded me of teachers who were applauded
When  they stood and as self-righteous religionists posed.

Always made me happy to see on Saturday nights
What was twisted or  denied  in school next week:
In toga movies, even the bad guys had some rights
And Heston  favoured not  the strong  but the weak.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner  starred in movie  THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.

Heston was the good guy, Moses. Brynner was the bad guy, Pharaoh.

Final score:     Moses 1  -  Pharaoh  0

Glamour

It was a unique time..
Glamourous era..
Class was king..
Elegance resonated through..
Filled with sophistication..
Classic, timeless, beauties..
In the airwaves..
The airwaves of Hollywood..

Vintage movies are meaningful..
A character is often inspired..
Inspiration allows meaning..
Movies touched the heart..
One's emotions left with feelings..
Feelings directly to the heart..

Fulfillment was captured in a classic movie..
All the makings of a wholesome movie..

Movie stars they were called..
Because these stars..
Were shining stars..
that glowed so brighly and effortlessly..

These stars distributed impeccible talent..
Multi talented they were..
Acting, Singing, and dancing..
Completely absorbed they were
In passion..
Deep desire for creative arts..

Rita Hayworth, Vivien Leigh, Audrey Hepburn..
John Wayne, Charlton Heston, Paul Newman..
Indeed these shining stars were the epitome
Of class..
Carried with such grace..

A generation of stars..
From a different time..
Whom helped us all embrace the silver screen..

At times these shining stars left us all breathless..
Captivated by their beauty, wittiness, glamour, and charm..
hypnotized by their character..
Left with a feeling of excitement..

They have all perished now..
Although they have perished..
They are still alive and well on the silver screen..

Along with the exquisite memories..
They have left behind..
For all of us..

Memories never perish..
Memories are infinite..

A chat show presenter from Preston
Had a peculiar guest on
He came on a cart
With a shield o'er his heart
And said that his name's Charlton Heston

We Are Manchester

Devils roar angels bow 
History unfold the DNA is red
We unite the universe 
Our fanzone is enormous 
We produced legends 
We conquered Europe 
The rival clubs are terrified 
They're battered in Trafford
Sir. Bobby Charlton humbled the crowd 
Sir. Alex Ferguson stand, Ole is on the wheel now.. 
Old Trafford is a fotress, it frightens the other clubs..
We're successful, we're the home of trophies...
We sucked the rival clubs but not like vampires..
We're the pride of England 
We support the batch.. 
We're proud to be called the sons of the devil but not like Dracula..
We're Manchester

Sword-and-sandals he often wore
Fifties movies,the fans adore,
Bibilical epics we see no more-
Unusual in a Hollywood life
Faithful,marriage to just one wife.

Tribute to Charlton Heston

Premium Member Here Come the Ants

Charlton Heston and Eleanor Parker are in a bad situation.
Legions of army ants will attack their plantation.
These creatures cause many square miles of devastation.
The insects will devour everything in sight.
Charlton and Eleanor will take a stand and fight.
Do you wonder how this predicament will go?
All you have to do is watch the video.

Based on the 1954 film "The Naked Jungle"

A Rich Wifes Fears

What know you about a rich wife’s fears?
How she feels when her man her wealth nears?
Watches her the scene and marked pain bears 
Or ahead goes to shed obvious tears?
A Neighbor Eve I have who goat rears 
And her Charlton pays back in arrears: 
Smiles of understanding, soon great fears;
She could from him run with engaged gears!
Wife to her man her wealth endears,
From him withholding it heart spears…
 
Charlton she’s forced to mind her profit
And on the subject turn Prophet!
