Best Friendlies Poems

Some days are diamond, some are stone
We all need a mix of diamonds and stones
Otherwise we would miss the comparison
If life was all diamonds, we wouldn't be able to
Handle those stone days
And all stone days, we would be on a suicide watch
The perfect mix produces...

Is there any better sleep than an afternoon nap?

I think not, my Soup friendlies

Hands down, it's like I imagine what heaven is like

Not that I'm in any big hurry to make the trip

I really don't advise doing this if you haven't retired yet

Your boss could...

All you friendlies here on the site
A fire under me bum you always ignite
Can't wait to arise
To converse with you guys
It's a pleasure, a thrill, a tremendous delight

Went to the well and the well was dry

So what shall I do, oh me, oh my

My mind's in a quandary, what shall I do

I fear I've run dry, I haven't a clue

Is there some medication that I can take

My mind's in a dither for...

As Erica fought for her liberty
She be truly began to see
What life would be like for her
But her troubles only got rougher
As she grew and claimed more 
She often left others broken and sore
She destroyed them as she forged her path
Not stopping to think of...

In the dictionary beside the word 'dementia'
Is a picture of your man Jackers
 The description reads 'he's off his noodle'
This man is totally crackers

Not a sane thought in his whole damn noodle
Couldn't handle it if there was
Probably freak out and strip down naked
Running hell bent...

Gonna let you all in on a little secret
My real name isn't Jack at all
Charles is the name I was christened with
A late change caused a huge falderal

My seven older sisters ended up in a furor
A last minute change by my dad
Didn't go over well...

Hello there my little friendlies
I'm Archibald Denton Frog
I'm here to tell you the story
Of Catherine Clemetine Clogg!

Clemmie as she's always been known
To a bunch of her closest friends
Has a wonderful talent for juggling
While sitting on her bottom end!

That may not sound so astonishing
But imagine the...

Remember when the Taliban 
took back Afghanistan 
from an international coalition
led by the American 

When enemies 
became friendlies 
invading their own 
territories 

Fighting ISIS 
avoiding crisis 
which evil 
is the nicest 

as the crowds stood packed
still the terrorists attacked 
killing their own people 
as the...

Blankety blankety blank blank blank
Blankety blank blank blank
So how do like my poem so far
Getting pretty low in the tank

To resort to this ridiculous bit of nonsense
Must be pretty damn desperate I'd say
You can fool some people some of the time
But never you friendlies each...

Getting pretty low in the tank

To resort to this ridiculous bit of nonsense
Must be pretty damn desperate I'd say
You can fool some people some of the time
But never you friendlies each day

"Blessed assurance glory divine ..."

Supine haze swiped tall grass wooing shadows,
as chimes of wren's feathers a float parade,
begs a trace with leaves sought resting barrows, 
the fondness parting loft and low portrayed.

Nourishing willows stranding morning dews,
while lengthy lappings the murmured streaming, 
courses the sourcing promises...
