Premium Member Except For Politicians
life is like 
a long cartoon movie clip
not as well done as a Disney

and the universe 
is peopled by poor imitations
of cartoon characters

not as monstrous sad or distressed
as the real cartoon characters on the screen
except for politicians...

better to be back in black

Coca-Cola for coy cat
replied Carla Coe
draw the duck down in dew

fries feed feisty firebugs

good guys grumble about golf

hairy hilltops hide hat heroes

Except a Seed
A shrunken, bitter fruit
dropped from a brittle branch;
the summer rains have passed it by;
the harvesters have let it lie
and Winter stalks the field.

Numb through long days and star shy nights
beneath a void of trackless snow;
dull passersby may never know
the bounty death will yield.

© 1987, Faye...

Except, Perhaps, Prayer
Curse.  Rail. Spit.
In short impress your peers
With your modernity.

Sneer. Scoff. Hit.
But naught will save
You in eternity....

What Did I Ever Do Except Love You?
In stealth, you dealt the first stinging blow
A dual edged blade, it cut through my spine
Words of hate flowed effortlessly from you
What did I ever do except love you?

Like poison, your hateful tirade spread
A horrid venom, it seeped through my veins
Brought me to doubt all...

God Hates Everyone Except Me
God Hates Everyone Except Me

By Elton Camp

The good “reverend” likes to have his say
Against absolutely everyone and every way

His belief is the only one that’s correct
Eternity in hellfire all others can expect

So that it wouldn’t come as a surprise
To speak for him, God did authorize

At...

Everywhere Except Near Ninette
There will never 
Be sufficient down pour
In washing away your crucial absence
Even word smith falls short in lessening the pain
Primal lesson in contact with you, one is squandered
In treasured troves, expense of your beaded words
Will pay to shine ones soul's mane
Without you life neither was...

Premium Member We Are All Equal Except
We are all equal
Except don’t drive when black.
We’ll get you 
It’s our right

We are all equal
Except if you wear a hoodie
We suspect you are a thug
Unless you are white

We are all equal
Except when we see your skin color
and immediately remember 
Every person we ever saw...

Except
I like the dark,

The unseen, unknown, the scary,

Except for heights, that you can keep away from me.

 

I like mystery, 

The clues, scenes, the possibilities,

Just not if they lead me to the top of a high rise building.

 

I like adventure,

Like Camping, kayaking, and hiking,

Just...

Funny Story Except It Is True
I am standing around the house 
I hear a loud boom with floor vibrations
I ask if everyone is ok because 
I thought someone fell flat on their settee
Everyone says we're ok what was that??
After much investigation
We found that my tire had exploded into shreds

I am...

No One - Except Myself
You want to become like me
I want to become like love 
Like this spirit
From high above

From deep within 
Which I feel 
Under my skin
I do that

I know I'll win
You want to become like me
I am inside myself 
Putting order 

In my shelf
Putting order 
In my...
