Best Do Without Poems
The house is much quieter,
since you went away
I feel so much happier,
without you around
I'm glad your not here today,
to ***** me out
And my laundry's alot cleaner,
doing it myself
You wanted a superman,
which I'm not
And You thought it was funny,
when I fell
I've been on my knees,
praying for this day
So now that you left,
you can go to hell
You always acted like,
you were always right
So what are you gonna do,
without me around
I won't be there,
for you to start a fight
So what are you gonna do,
without me around
You listened to the words,
from your nosey friends
They all had wimpy men,
they could push around
You couldn't cook,
so that ain't no big deal
And I Think you found your friends,
in the lost and found
Especially that ugly one,
who's name was Jill
She had no friends,
you were her only one
Oh how I love it here,
now I'm having fun
I'm glad you left,
It's like heaven now
You always acted like,
you were always right
So what are you gonna do,
without me around
I won't be there,
for you to start a fight
So what are you gonna do,
without me around
‘It’ is something many computer salesman don’t know exists
but our laptops wouldn’t be secure without 'it'.
‘It’ is a tiny component, vital for the stability of our computers
Without ‘it’ they would wobble about.
I learned about ‘it’ from our friend Malc
I was thinking of getting a new laptop
He advised me to ask the salesman if it had LRF
Malc is very knowledgeable, so I asked the salesman
Does it have LRF? My friend Malc says it must have 'it'
The salesman scratched his chin and looked puzzled
LRF – I’ve never heard of ‘it’, are you sure ‘it’ is vital
I persisted and said Malc had insisted my laptop MUST have ‘it’
I said I couldn’t buy the computer if it didn’t have LRF
and could he find out for me…
The salesman found his boss and he hadn’t heard of ‘it’ either
So I rang Malc’s mobile
Said I had a problem as the salesman couldn’t confirm the laptop had ‘it’
Malc said he’d come to the store to check
He arrived…
Turned the laptop over and peered at the base…
Yes this one is fine; I see it has LRF
The salesman looked perplexed,
explaining he’d worked in computers for years and had never heard of ‘it’
Please tell me, what ‘it’ is, he asked
Malc grinned and looked him straight in the eye
‘Little Rubber Feet’, he said … ‘it’ is a vital component!
Now, hands up….
How many of you have just felt the corner of your laptop to see if yours has ‘it’!

Fiction write but based on a true story. Our friend Malc worked in IT and got fed up of salesman bombarding people with ‘technospeak’ especially three letter abbreviations so LRF was his little joke at getting back at them.
She always makes my mouth water
Her neck is long and slim
She is rarely dull
And she usually always shines
She gets turned on instantly
Just by the way I touch her
She easily gets very hot and steamy
She always speaks to me in the same tone
And her voice always flows smoothly
She will never leave me
Even if she has a break down
What will I ever do without her
I love you water faucet
What Would I Do Without Jesus?
If not for Jesus… What would I do?
I really have no one else I can turn to!
In the midst of all my trials and pain…
I learned to call out on Jesus’ name!
He gave me the assurance that he loves me!
His hand reached down and touched me!
He told me that he loves me and won’t let go.
He brought peace and satisfaction to my soul!
My life for his… The price was already paid.
Through him, a way to heaven has been made!
This joy and love I have, is not my own.
Christ brought his sweetness to my home!
The life he gave is overflowing with God’s best!
He’s brought to me comfort and a haven of rest!
I’m so grateful for what he’s been doing for me!
The chains are gone! I’ve been set free!
Jesus is beautiful! My best friend indeed!
He’s come and supplied my every need!
What Jesus has done for me, he can do for you!
It’s not secret how much he really loves you!
I pray that his love and mercy
will bless you today!
Won’t you invite him into
your life to stay???

They stopped talking to him for no apparent reason
He reached out only to be met with silence
So he prayed and reached out again, no response
He prayed and extended an olive branch, to no avail
Then he shook the dirt from his shoes and joy filled his
Heart like floods of flowing waters
He had a new attitude
Peace was his new friend
And he would never go anywhere again
Where he felt he needed to be in
One day the phone rang
And it was one of those people who had ignored him
He said “Hello” as cordial as possible
But something was missing he felt a detachment
The caller was acting as if
Nothing had ever happened
Wanting to talk about trivial things
But the man who once felt marooned
Said he had to go
The caller paused, and said, “I know”
Taking others for granted is a form of torment
Some may frolic while others lament
Just be aware, that when you want to
Grin and bend
The man who was ignored caught the hint
I couldn't live, I couldn't breathe
Without you by my side
Never will I let you go
My love for you
I will never hide
You're the thought that starts each morning
The conclusion to each day
You are in all that I do
And everything that I say
Your lips, your eyes, your soul
Are like a work of art
The most creative thing of all
Is your beautiful heart
I give myself to you
because you are mine
I'm yours to the end of time
Your slave, your queen, your anything
I love you baby
do you know what I mean
She doesn’t like, my music
She doesn’t like, my songs
She doesn’t like, my boems
And, she doesn’t like, my thongs
She listens not, to my wishes
She listens not, to my plea
She listens not, to my wizdumb
And, she listens not, to me
She tells me, what do
She tells me, what to say
She tells me, when to go
And, she tells me, when to stay
She tells me, when to laugh
And when, to shed a tear
But when she tells me, when to pee
That’s when I say, “YES DEAR”

ANGELS CRYING TEARS TO MAKE THE RAINDROPS
HIT THE EARTH TO FEED THE LIVING NATURE
WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT THE ANGELS
WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT THEM HERE?
ANGELS WAKE US UP IN THE DAYTIME
SO WE CAN CATCH UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF
WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT THE ANGELS
WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT THEM HERE
ANGELS TAKING EVERY LITTLE THOUGHT WE HAVE
SORTING THEM INTO TWO PILES BOTH GOOD AND BAD
WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT THE ANGELS
WHAT WOULD DO WITHOUT THEM HERE
NOW THERE'S SO MANY THINGS WE DON'T KNOW
THINGS WE CAN'T SEE AND WE CAN'T HEAR
BUT I'D SURE HATE TO LOSE THE ANGELS
I'M SO VERY GLAD THAT THERE HERE
Hunny, Its not my fault, I should be in your arms right now, I miss you like crazy, and my love is beating stronge, I look out the window in the middle of the night, Wishing I could see your face, Our lips touch, Your finguar are intailed in mine, What am I to do without you
this life is wounding me
scars from memories still haunting me
everytime i bleed just wish id just bleed to death
but when i reach my last breath
your there holding me
feels like times standing still
stoped the clouds and the wheels
the warmth passing through me
makes my sorrow die a death
you smiled and took away my pain
sunshine not puddles and the rain
taught me to stand up to my fears
from all those yesteryears
what would i do without you
clouds form and their symbols reflect my dreams
crystal tears and fish swimming in the stream
then they fade away
they fade away so fast
and when the light goes down
i just feel so alone again
no times not standing still
no use calling out for you
acended to wence you came
now i long for the time when
you smiled and took away my pain
sunshine not puddles and the rain
taught me to stand up to my fears
from all those yesteryears
what would i do without you
Priests, preachers, and Evangelists,
I've listened to them all;
But what would I do without Calvary,
Had I not heard the sweet Savior's call?
For Man cannot do as his own will directs,
And still gain the sweet Bye And Bye;
Nor preachers forgive them the sins of a life,
That was wasted though try as they might.
For only The Son can finish the job,
That The Father, Himself has begun.
The Spirit must lead us, must guide and must teach us,
Only on God to rely.
What could they be all about?
I'd tell you: For what we'd scout,
When our passions for them shout.
What groups cannot do without;
Once one neglects each a flout...
Cash crop farms say fertile lands,
The Builder Mason Good Sands,
Marching-to-War Soldiers: bands,
The Ring Fighter: two hands,
All Seasoned Smokers: their brands,
Newspaper Vendors: news-stands.
Book of Records: What is grand,
South Africa, now: The Rand.
What will I do without you
I'm not sure what I would exactly do
If it was you I never could again hold
In fact without you now, my heart has turned slightly cold
I can see so clearly in my dreams, you and I together growing old
How would it hit me if I could never again hear your voice and how it sounds so alive and free
With a few spoken words from you I would be so inspired
That's because I accept you are my very souls desire
That flame still burns where only you could light that fire
How will I make it if it's you I could never again see
And with looking in you eyes I could vividly see, no words needed to be said for it to be
known how much you were so deeply in love with me
Through it all we have always been meant to be
So what will I do without you if you forever went away
Just like I am now, going crazy and insane each and every single day
But while it's you I so greatly miss
I know in my heart, soul, and mind I am a strong woman and that I've really been through
far worse than this...
...but then again
I honestly can't recall or remember just how or when
What Will I Do Without Kayley
There were raindrops like big tears;
Some day will think of all the years
Without my dog, I now have been
And gladly would do it over again.
Why doesn't life ever seem fair
As I see Kayley walk up each stair;
Loved to play and roll in the dirt;
Not even a flea would he ever hurt.
My dog eventually will have to die
And as all my tears I start to dry
To a close, his curtain was drawn;
Kayley world is where he has gone.
The Death of a pet is hard to endure
And agree with me, I know for sure;
Even worse is telling your child why
His pet he loved so much had to die.
