Best Excessive Poems
And her voice is the tingle of upbeat blues,
the winsome rap amid my heavy footsteps, past 2 am...
She holds my hand as I’d never wake up
after twilight, drinking to the end of a broken bottle,
How those arms cuddle me like my hair
isn't filthy , avoiding normal showers that
I can’t put this body to rest, to rest;
howling about a compulsive urge needling within a mind
which impairs an otherwise peaceful life with her :
Disappearing into bars and gaming clubs ,
and more bars to silence my fears
so I can’t hear the jeers of ghosts on the
walls, within each pulse-beat, through her embrace
… through it all,
She smiles calmly ignoring the stench of alcohol
in - out breaths, regardless of my absence
from quality time I am unable to keep.
… Still,
I can’t honor myself the same way that
she does... as though I never yelled, argued,
or told her to go lose herself beneath cold moonlight,
while kicking the door without atonement--
She loves me unequivocably as if I can find the gentleness
of one day when I can CHANGE.

Compulsive-obsessive behavior is a mental dysfunction including explosive anger , desire for alcohol, gambling, others. The onset of impulsivity can be thought of as seeking a small, short -term gain at the expense of a large, long term loss.

A tender kiss upon the brow
has precious little meaning now.
When fornication simply states
a need for pleasure without delay.
What genius is in taking IQ tests,
when cures for cancer rot, decompose unfurled
with Mensans and half-brilliant fools? Digest,
then, that with all the intellect in the world
these nerds from wasting their brains fail to graduate,
and lay aside their intellectual games
(like Rubik's Cube) than mentally just “masturbate,”
to never rise to lofty genius's aims.
If Plato, Newton, Einstein, Beethoven,
or Shakespeare had been content to misspend
their gifts away, then the world of mere men
would long have come to its benighted end!
Therefore, reform your minds, ye half-smart fools;
and test yourselves instead in better schools.
If you would pen some poems
Of passionate perfect praise,
And have someone to hear 'ems
To clear their ears from haze,
You'd better put a stop to
Alliteration's touch,
For letters linked a lot to
Are misty much too much.
But if you love a letter
(Let's leave it that it's "L")
And loving "L" is better
Than living long in Hell,
Then let your tongue prolong it,
And let your lungs expel,
The lasting lulls of longing
That through your lips propel.
of things d\found the scope
peace has existed with hope
even if a dope
did a bin blooper
had become a storm trooper
real super duper
together did click
with such a good looking chick
who of crop was pick
while wearing muzzle
put together my puzzle
together nustle
fell off of the curb
did violently disturb
shouted ugly verb
what we must mention
must bring on abolition
needing ammunition
around tree was stirrup
then did make maple syrup
when we ate would burp
state of total shock
when we saw value of our stock
was a bunch of crock
had heard wise old owl
perfect and always my pal
said jokes which were fowl
(hit balls which were fowl)
(needed crying towel)
(movement in big bowel)
we could always check
how dirty had been the deck
was a complete wreck
thought he was a twit
not only that is a nit
had another fit
clocks we found a few
that would go coco coco
then he went coco
for soil need tester
buried there is ancestor
where they would fester
what we do detest
women who are with big breast
involved in incest
was a ding a ling
horrible songs he would sing
no brains ever bring
lighting caused thunder
there had been a blunder
we misplaced plunder
are both sides of fence
and prefer experience
without an offense
republican gerrymander (Gerry rigged)
was dozy and a dander
when they would pander
even though trial rig
convicted put in the brig
took another swig
heard they called him Carl
should see snake when it will snarl
slithering through laurel
virulent vulture
much trouble tried to culture
now in sepulcher
neither did annoy
and liked both girl and boy
both did enjoy
could be a carrier
am bored and need barrier
walked my terrier
was under much strain
no stain would ever remain
so we went insane
(efforts were in vein)
(ran over by train)
(born without a brain)
will have to admit
when we would catch wind of it
had been a big hit
would you be so kind
help me find lost peace of mind
I had left behind
known to resemble
Trump and did disassemble
had made us trimble
he had blown his stack
had hard time bringing it back
while making wise crack
Excessive gullibility -makes you a victim, a prey?
Lucky you! I know how to treat such a dreadful disease.
Send me money and your troubles will go away.
You will stop trust anyone, anymore in any degrees.
"Toot Toot" says the choo choo train.
I think I can, I think I can,
but then again,
perchance it's much too soon
to be going far too fast
for the downhill lane.
"Toot Toot" here I come,
whatsoever!
I'm the kind of guy who drinks so excessively
that mosquitos get buzzed after attacking me.
a neat freak is compulsive
excessive and obsessed
their day revolves around cleaning
a neat freak has a one-track mind
and will not budge their focus
their one true friend is bleach
a neat freak disinfects all day
intolerant to imperfection
time and effort never a problem
a neat freak will not rest
till every thing's in order
and every surface shines
let's not mince words
a neat freak is maniacal
and a neat freak i am not

He enters the neighborhood bitter
from cold cases old grudges and gripes
his musty breath is shallow stone cold
coming from his angry nostrils transferred
yet again for bad behavior after sucking
the life out of another non suspecting poor
individual while suspended to the desk duties
for a few months he lay in waiting creating slander
perpetrating falsehoods for the weak the helpless
the vulnerable homeless the disabled the injured
veterans families down on their luck he's mastered
the boroughs villages canals valley's street corners
and hills throughout the city children run from his
thumping hoofs craving blood sweat and tears
of urban survivors holding on by mere threads
praying for spiritual guidance redemption from
this evil hoping for strong minded individuals
to somehow provide ethical support leadership
crumbles rams locking horns while performing their
civic duties of washing the scum off the streets
when instead Mr excessive force organized brutality
home invasions intimidation fear corruption
abuse of power rises about the small towns
of little people whose cries are never heard
until a sudden riot approaching engulfing a city
the watchers always look on in disbelief as the flames
crawl block for block windows smashed glass shatters
into a million pieces reflecting the eyes of despair
graffiti begins to cover store fronts meanwhile
friendly fire explodes sifting through reasoning
remorse the crying kind Danny boy oh boy oh boy
a quiet calm cease to behold a sullen peace
the trying time beckoning the emptiest eyes
malice unfolds first responders are grieving
as Mr excessive force is now leaving
Excessive and Depressive
If my ego attempts and tries to attack
Yours must try to give it some slack
When you discover it has been disturbed
My poor behavior should stop and be curbed.
Egos are roused as they become depleted
Constantly in conflict when not completed
Searching for some place to end up and go
While it will expand and continue to grow.
Unless they can come up with a cure
My manic ego must have to endure
Am so sorry when it becomes excessive
And result of emotions were all depressive.

PS. Last one for the morning.
How many have I written so far
and what is easiest way to account
for total number of poems?
He's on a health kick,
Running until he's feeling sick.
No alcohol or flavoured vapes,
Sleeping eight hours with closed drapes.
Chopping up veggies with brown rice,
Drinking green smoothies with cubes of ice.
Avoiding French fries and burger meals,
Measuring his blood pressure when he feels.
Chicken is his only meat,
Especially eaten as a treat.
He has decaffeinated tea and coffee,
And natural sweetness in his banoffee.
Enjoying pasta with basil oil,
Some sourdough pieces, quite small.
Swimming daily fifty lengths,
To keep up his body strength.
He's a regular at the gym,
His personal trainer looks up to him.
Because he's on a health kick,
And exercising until he's feeling sick.

Deliver Down River and God Is Giver
always deliver
down what is wide river
God has been giver
do me a favor
we know now that a neighbor
carries sword in sabre
appeared a skater
ran over alligator
on a fast freighter
was some stoic style
trump on turbulent trial
which he did defile
ate ball full of fuzz
which always would be because
my cat always does
