Premium Member Who Needs Red Tape!

It seems it takes reams of paperwork to get things done nowadays.
You can become so snarled in red tape that it'll leave you in a daze!
I wonder how Noah would've coped with such onerous fiddle-faddle,
Had panels and boards been involved to design for him a simple paddle!

Did he have building codes and hordes of bureaucrats to appease,
Or pesky environmentalists hugging the gopherwood trees?
Was there an OSHA lurking about enforcing inane regulations?
Such balderdash would've added to his heap of frustrations!

Was an ASPCA "watchdog" there fretting about all the creatures,
Insisting that cages and stalls have the latest comfort features?
Was their a labor union hovering nigh demanding a living wage?
Such piffle would've launched Noah into a towering rage!

Had Noah heeded those who showered him with sneer and scorn,
Or had he drowned in seas of red tape to stifle his Godly bourne,
He might've been discouraged and cancelled the whole affair.
That could've spelled doom for humankind right then and there!

But Noah's Boss, that Master Architect superintending from Above,
Gave Noah the specifications and a not too gentle shove!
Noah, Japheth, Ham and Shem hustled and the Ark soon took shape.
'Twas built on schedule, with no cost overruns and no red tape!

ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS
                     •	



on scorching sun with scissors of red ray
kids waded paper boats down winding bay
     huge rock slammed their course
      sails flat, with full force!
so rock/paper/scissors bets winged a tricky play
                               •	
  
although the rushed pace was like wrestling
and left their fists flushed red and sweating,
     best of  four rounds caused seizures
     playmates hid crazed wrist fissures
hours after, hungry tummies stopped pretending

Red Headed Stepchild

I beat her like a
   red headed stepchild because
      That is what she is...


*JOKE- I don't beat her,
but I do have a red headed
stepchild.  :)

Red

Little Red Riding Hood, we'll call her "Red",
Was taking her granny some food
But the wolf had spotted her basket
And thought that he'd be shrewd

He said, "Hey little girl, where you goin?"
The wolf was thinking he's cool
But Red paid him no nevermind
And mumbled,"I'm just passing thru"

"What's in the basket, little girl?"
The wolf asked her with an awful grin
But Red replied, for the second time,
"Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin"

Oh wait, that's a different story
That wolf is this one's brother
I think their daddys were different
But I'm sure, they have the same mother

Anyway, the wolf took him a shortcut
And to granny's house, he went
But, poor granny didn't recognize him
For he spoke with a Brittish accent

She let him in and he gobbled her up
And his stomach began to churn
You shouldn't eat things that's out of date
But that wolf will never learn

Now, Red has finally made it
And the wolf says, "Won't you come in?"
He greets her in granny's bed clothes
While sporting an evil grin

Red says "Granny, what big eyes you have"
And the wolf begins to cry
For that was a touchy subject
And I dare not ask him why

"Granny, what a big nose you have"
As she waits for the wolf's reply
Once again, that's too sensitive
And he gives her the evil eye

Now she'd done it, the wolf was mad
And was planning this little girl's death
When he opened his mouth, a burp came out
And her granny was still on his breath

Red began to run and scream
Looking for a place to hide
The wolf began to chase her
As her granny struggled inside

The wolf tripped over a footstool
As granny came tumbling out
Then Red suddenly remembered
That she was a Brownie Scout

Red was now the hero
And knew what she had to do
The wolf began to cower in fear
For he was sure his terror was thru

But Red showed that old wolf mercy
And granny forgave his transgression
That wolf seen Red in a whole new light
For, she'd certainly made an impression

Instead of trying to eat them now
That wolf just started lickin'
As soon as Red wipe the slobbers away
They shared her basket of chicken

The chicken they ate was delicious
Colonel Sanders would have been proud
His breath smelled of chicken, not granny  
And they all started laughing out loud

Premium Member "bravo Brock"

Into the midst of the hen flock 
Brock my brown leghorn flying cock
Mediterranean breading stock
Flew off the roost to dock

When  barnbyard dust settled you see
Hens begin cackling with glee
As soon as was able to see
That rooster was handsomely he

As marsupial much alarmed
As brown leghorn spurs fully armed
Being exposed to the great charmed
The hens flapped their wings thus informed

Opossum tucked babes in her pouch
Her most inner juvenile  couch 
Plain to see that my Brock’s no slouch
Awesome spurs would surely mean ouch!!

Legitimately now has he 
A very large harem you see
There are many chick yet to be
As shall many opossums flee

Many red tail hawks on the wind
But my red rooster will defend
His harem band of lady friends
Every day again and again

At danger he will never baulk
`Tis cackle, cackle, cackle, squawk 
`Tis the brown leghorn rooster talk
Cock of the squawk barnyard boardwalk

Premium Member "a Tale Multicolored"

In a box of color crayons
I would be the color called red
Favorite of child's fairy wands
With a very sharp pencil head


Surely would be very worse dread
If to a stove of fire kid sped
Melting off the red my fine head
As to the fire my head was fed

My very fine texture would glow
The child's parents would surely know
My red blood would begin to flow
Paddle's appease to seat would go

Not yet Leonardo Da Vinci
An artist of portrait display 
Child sit in corner on benches
Smell very well would give him away 

No effort of the Da Vinci
Broke a smile of the century  
Mona the Lisa smile so mild
Would agape at this mischief child

So very sad my red's been bled
And my pencil head has been fed
By mischief of a kid who sped
Fulfilling my very worse dread 

Now my box of fairy crayons
I hope has not caused a big yawn
As hope is that you've grown quite fond
Of my tale of fairy's red wand

Can-Can

Superb Moulanic entertainment
Rouge by colour a red the colour of lust

Perhaps vermillion crimson or scarlet 
Not quite a Cardinal red - Oh no!

A bawdy well loved old dance
High kicking girls a screaming yelp

Energetic and flying jumping splits
A view quite pleasant of split crotch knickers

The Talk of the Monsters Ball

I went to the Monsters Ball.
I must have been 7 feet tall.
I was wearing stilettos so steep.
They were really hurting my feet.

You will never guess what I wore.
And not to tell it I always swore.
But I guess I'll have to confess.
Someone saw me and now it's a mess.

I was wearing a red sheer gown.
And the top was halfway down.
Red sheer hose covered my legs.
Held up by red garters like pegs.

It was a monstrous sight.
If you'd been there that night.
Like the person who saw.
Writing poems in the raw.

His name I will not disclose.
But I visited him on tippy toes.
He wore Tag body spray, I could tell.
Writing poetry as funny as............

Well...I guess I'd better end here.
Or I might get beat in the rear.
