Best Follies Poems

Beware of Satan, for He's a cunning
trickster, well-versed in tactics of deceit.
But alas, these words fall upon deaf ears;
sin's addiction isn't easy to defeat.

Blind to the truth, some cannot see its light,
and thus, are lost to the dark forever.
Impressed by their image in the mirror,
they...

The homophobic banker he was penned
That careless fool was found to misspend
He thought prison would be cake
Until he met fat old Jake
Now he has got a hairy boyfriend!...

Small little  Halle, Molly, and Dolly  
full of mischief, puppy collies; 
climbing over each other in their folly. 
Snarling and growling, around in the yard, 
while Reilly the Saint Bernard stands guard. 
Reilly rolls onto its back, as they come hard 
climbing all...

These demimondaines, these Follies, on their Parisian stage
Frequently exciting in titillation to naked bare they
Encouraging heckles in erupt amidst sweated brows...

Congressional Follies

What’s happening in this world of ours
That use to be ideal
Congress has become a joke
They don’t care what the people feel
Politician's play the power game
Washington’s in disarray
Grown men acting like children
It’s time they went away!

They brought shame upon America
Leading us to the brink
Virtually playing...

O Earth, Sweet Earth, Forgive My Follies



O' earth , earth , sweet earth forgive my follies, 
 ten thousand days of roaming upon thy bosom
 slashing and bruising in wicked deeds;
no foresight in my multitude of transgressions,
 so guilty of grief and pain inflicted
 in...

natures jollies we see human follies



donkey raced down to the lea
happy, happy, like a bee
racing for his flower
a mare feeling his sour
he was the collector 
of her nectar
he wanted some now
now, now,now
of her, to sow
sow, sow, sow
he had needs
he had greed
he had neglect
for her respect
wielding...

My chicken has been flickin'
Her feathers in the hay
The cattle waged a battle
In their field the other day
A turkey feeling perky
Jumped up and ran away
Feeling daft, I laughed and laughed,
That's all I've got to say....

Porky Pig plastic bank, streaked with tears
Offered at my parent's bedside as they quarrel
          over money scarce like the scent of angels
Bickering exhaustion
          that steals the dark's...

“Don’t take candy from a stranger,”
My mother said,
Unless you’re dressed like Frankenstein
With a hideous mask on your head.

If Christmas is about a baby’s birth,
Why do we buy trinkets and bobbles,
For all daddy’s worth?

When that baby died,
And rose from the dead,
To celebrate they told me,
A rabbit...

Ferociously fought Footballer's in Fray on Field,
Italian storm did French fend off fairly for a time;
Materazzi muttered malicious mouthful,
Zinedan Zidane zealous; headbutt callous
Chest of foe concave became
Fell to pitch, 'nother victim o' Zidane
Red card issued, final curtain
Frenchies lose, Zidane for certain....

Oh, the excruciating job of finding
a comfortable pair of shoes!
And why do we fall asleep so darn 
early at night?

Driving after sundown is a fright!
Hey, gravity, stop pulling on my face!
There's a younger man I...

Another day of work
begins at 6 and ends at 2
could be dead, could be busy
don't know for sure
everyday is different from the last
fast food is unpredictable
guess I'll have to wait and see
how busy we're going to be
I'll count down the minutes til I get to...

Diamonds and roses, a wall
Painted with blood and tears
Glass slippers, a ball
Slept for a hundred years

It's Saturday morning and still dark as night
My pursuit continues in the pale moonlight
I’ve baited my hook and I’ve cast just right
I eagerly await in the glow of dawn's light
 
I've been noticed by a few but not seen by all
A few ducks arrive, giving...
