Drop by painless drop 
Washed down the drain, 
Flowing to a stop 
Free from my brain 

Hysteria and torment 
With regret to follow, 
Make their descent 
Amongst fear and sorrow 

There they all go 
No need for them now,
Still learning to do so
Was never taught...

The wind in my hair does rearrange
              What $25

I can count my lovers with fingers
not promiscuous none the less
at age sixty two what say you

never used a condom
as it will be condemning
my beliefs

of not procreating
good genes
or the crazy 

never to hold my babies
as fetus they were flushed
for the abuse at age fourteen

not a...

Another Atlantic City hotel-casino is going away.
The once-esteemed Taj Majal closes its doors after Labor Day.
It has a big casino with tables and machines galore.
There are posh restaurants, a state-of-the art theater, and much more.
This place is truly a landmark at the New Jersey Shore.
However,...

Keys down drain
Tried in vain
To obtain
Still remain
Rack one's brain.

Sight review
Don't pursue
Sank in goo
Then I knew
Order new.

[ to the tune of If I Only Had A Brain from The Wizard of Oz ]

I know she will soon be blushing,
Because of what she's flushing,
When I have to explain.
With the plug I will be finding,
She will need a swift reminding;
I may likely go...

Down Tha Drain
Down the drain...In the words of Lary Love:


Those Rico acts got em not wanting to be gangsta no more,

Last words he heard as a free man was "get down on the floor!!"

He suppose to get a pass because he did some charity work??, 

But just...

Premium Member Pulled Down the Drain
I am not sad
The day is sunny
Spirits high
Well rested
Yet my words went to a dark place
They wrote themselves
I was helpless to follow them
Like being pulled by water 
Spinning down a drain
I did not attempt to fight them
No happy ending required
No lesson to be taught
Just words...

End Up Going Down the Drain
End Up Going Down the Drain

Have you heard nature trying to call
Went out and wrote poem off the wall
About fool flying into wide open space
Searching for human race all over the place.

I really had begun to blow my big stack
Said that human race I was...

Taliban knocking on doors in Afghanistan
   Trouble brewing in Pakistan

China hints at attacking Taiwan
   Dare we hope Taiwan can hang on 

All the while Mr. Kim launches rockets
   North Koreans suffer, so he has deep pockets

While we are tied...

Ring Down the Drain
Slipped through my finger my diamond ring
Down the drain it went so I got out some string
I attaching a bobby pin then coiled it like a box spring
Lowering it down gently but the phone started to ring
I went to answer it and cling clang there...

Down the Drain
Down the drain,
Like unending rain,
Bringer of much too much,
Unending pain...

Who's responsible?
I don't know...
But down the drain,
I see it go....

Down the Drain
I can see you are in a lot of pain
You dropped your cell phone down the storm drain
Tears are welling up, you are about to bawl
Because you can't make a phone call
No chance of you lifting the lid
You couldn't reach it if you did
By now...

She Poured My Beers Down the Drain
(This is a fictional poem)

After I got married, I learned that my wife believes it's wrong to drink.
She poured my beers down the drain and that really stinks.
She believes that drinking is a sin.
I told her I'd kick her ### if I ever caught her...
