Best Favors Poems

When the world ends
There will be more
More tears than you can imagine
More tears than when a mother
Loses her unborn child because someone hit her
More tears than when a young boy
Gets hit by a car
When he gets off the bus 
On his way home from school
But...

PARTY FAVORS

Cruising 
oceans of anger
casting 
shadows on walls
Mathematical
equations
calming
nerves

Deflecting
we wave our
party favors 
of
loneliness

Protecting
bubbles from
bursting into
rainbow 
colored mud

through
hidden
escapes
thirsting for new
freeflow
shallow love

Chance Favors

Chance favors the mind prepared                
Played out in gambling chambers
Positioned for a win as you begin
Glasses Fill with drinks, slots with quarters
Smoke and curses rise and curl away
Pray that...

With heart divided between old and new
both loves so dear and warm and true;
'Cross continents covered with morning dew,
so fleet I ran to be with you. 
 
Cloth marked, banner blazoned, dearly tried;
on I ran to be by your side.
Storm gathered, tide washed, a dear...

Spin the bottle ...
give some unlucky lips a drunken kiss
Pin the tail on the donkey; 
though you didn’t miss 
on purpose you bosom grope insist,
when you stagger slipped
Tilt the bottle ...
pour liquid social stumbles into short cups
Place your hand on a spandex rear end,
and get...

Caramel, Chocolate, and Dark Chocolate
All great favors but with one to choose
Caramel you light and sweet 
Thick like maltase 
Chocolate beautiful brown tone
The cover of strawberries and other fruits
Now Dark Chocolate you’re the healthiest of them all
I can fill your help slide down my throat
So...

Louise has the most exotic doll clothes in the toy chest.
We know she is Meg’s favorite because of her outfits.
Some of us are angry with Louise because of this favoritism.
Some of the prettier dolls are uglier now, and they throw a fit.

Last night Meg created...

BEYOND WHAT WAS EXPECTED
I PROBABLY NEGLECTED
AND FOUND IT EASIER
TO WALK AWAY
WHAT IS THIS TO FUSSING
AND THEN WASTING TIME CUSSING
 IT MAKES IT EASIER TO JUST WALK AWAY
MINDING WHAT I'M DOING
THE EFFORTS TO WHAT I'M PURSUING
OPPORTUNITY WILL HAVE ME TO STAY
REMEMBER IT'S OBJECTIVE
AND REMINDER OF THE...

The thing with favors is that they eventually
outdo themselves,
Almost like overzealous elves,
One too many favors may deem a person
too obliging,
Sometimes they are enhancers to one 
who is conniving,
After a while, favors become redundant,
and they disappear from the memory,
because humans are fickle and lack
camaraderie....

Trump To Curry Favors

Trump likes to curry  many favors;
Never mattered what were flavors;
Owned almost all;
Short, talll or small;
Soem even were Lord and Saviors.

Oh the Hell with it   It’s a Holiday
David J Walker
 
Knowing that
I am going
 
On a diet but that
Fat or slim
 
I will die anyway
But try not to stray
 
Into the fast foods
And savory flavors
 
Tempting me with
Deep fried
 
Culinary favors from
A Pied...

Mary, the daughter of some parental friends, is on her high-school-senior college-tour and my mom (on Face Time) told me their plans called for them to be in New Haven over the weekend.

“Would you mind taking an hour to give her a campus tour?”
I rolled...
