Best Down In The Mouth Poems

BLUE BY YOU

What’s Blue by me?  

Butterfly wings, 
the Blue Moth in flight,
stilettos, suede shoes, 
for dancing at night.
Moonbows and rainbows, 
in the spectrum of blue,
the eyes of your love, 
when he’s laughing at you!  
Purple Lupine, Periwinkle,
and Violets can’t be!
Forget-me-nots, Bluebells, 
are...

Took a cruise down a river of booze.
Pissed my pants and filled my shoes.
Now it's time to clean it up.
Take a shower and drink a cup.

The fever caused my nerves to shake.
I had to leave her, it just didn't take.
That restless feeling wouldn't rest.
So now...

Wherever you go, don't forget
Bring your own sunshine along
To brighten up the path you travel
Singing a happiness song

It's certainly possible, look at me
Can't wipe this smile from my face
Mona Lisa can't hold a candle to Jacko
Brightening the darkest place

Am I happy with my life so...

Have you ever heard of Miss Lolly Palooza
Lolly's a sweet young thing
You'll never see her when the temperature's frigid
She emerges at the first sign of spring

Sometimes a robin will try getting here first
It's an age old friendly contest
To see who's gonna be the one to...

Pat Flynn and his ass live in Inchicore
Pat lives in the house with the bright red door
The ass drinks stout but let me tell you more
He won the the gold cup in 'eighty four.

Flynn went to the race's to place a bet
Got chatting to people...

Opie woke up feeling right today,
got a good nod in
Everything was copacetic okay
Heard on the news 
there was a crisis he should know about,
as he wiped the spittle drooling down from his mouth
Emergency in the suburbs:
Opioid deaths on the rise
He always woke up the next...

Take your pills, open wide
Swallow it with your pride
It’s a cure, overdose
Keep your head down and your mouth closed

We’re so
We know
We’re shallow
I know

You can call it narcissism
You can blame it on materialism
Our delusions, indecision
Children of the Great Recession
Update status
Pop a Xanax
There was texting
Now we’re setxing

We...

Year Fifty Two


Oh what a glorious day it is
And happy birthday to you I say
Fifty two wonderful years for you
And many more  you’ll have I pray

Don’t look so down in the mouth
And pout about getting so old
Be glad you’ve lasted this long I say
Many...

Ill winds are blowing, things are turning south
It's a sign of the new order, we're all down in the mouth
But there's bright days ahead
Not yet ready for a deathbed
Next election, we'll surely be cleaning house...

They keep telling me time is on my side.
But I'm not sure that time can stem the tide.
When things begin to go down south.
And life leaves you down in the mouth.
All I know is to run and hide.

And with the passing of the days.
Life can...

A star is in the making, hopeful and joyful,
Digital as it’s said, ready and set to go,
Dwindling   in the spirit, rising but shaky,
A pill is fixed on the lips, slowly sinking in the mouth,
Substance abuse really, a bitter pill in our midst.

The pill...

Wherever you go, don't forget
Bring your own sunshine along
To brighten up the path you travel
Singing a happiness song

It's certainly possible, look at me
Can't wipe this smile from my face
Mona Lisa can't hold a candle to Jacko
Brightening the darkest place

Am I happy with my life so...

What can I say
It's not my best day
They come along once in a while
It's not a big deal
It's normal to feel
Overwhelmed and unable to smile

The stress' of life
With everyday strife
Can sure get you down in the mouth
Think of the good things
That make your heart sing
Like...

Just because others are down in the mouth
Don't let it affect you, be a big strong mouse
Lead by example
Don't get trampled
Show 'em how to grin and the fires to douse...

"Buttons"

Silly word really, right? 

Sounds like when to speak it... like you just admitted that your bottom weighs an amount in the tons. 

Hell man, with me... ! 

"Wouldn't want a cart to move my tired old but".

"It would have to be a big one"....
