Premium Member The Grinning Cheshire Cat
What lies behind that grimacing catty coy smile, it’s upside down
Thinking perplexes me mentally, topsy-turvy confusions beastly
Kitty, popping off riddles to confound all humanity’s realistic
Way of thinking!
 Swishing his feline tail with utter cat flatting happiness, a word to the
Wise my dearest sweet Alice beware,...

Grinning
One night at my house a strange man had got in
When I asked him to leave he gave me a grin
I called the authorities who were of no use
He slipped out the back door, a man on the loose

But then he returned as soon as...

Your Grinning Dolls
Your dolls grin in my summer 
melted silver plastic sin
and I heard a crow caw 
all for my belated needs 
I never intended life 
finding my self six feet deep 
My pall bearer lover-needs 
me and my simple sweet soul! 
All for you I oiled...

Spinning, Grinning, Winning
~*~
Spinning
slashing swirling
powerful    tornado
lightning  bolts, thunder  and  sirens
Spinning wind sounds like a train, head Spinning
homes  spun  to  the  land  of  Oz
a whole town blown away
dizzy  head still 
Spinning

dazed and confused

Just Stood There Grinning
Just stood there grinning
Watching fools pass by
Being what they pretend
Hiding from own reality

Lost in false impressions
More valued than dignity
Laughing for sake's effect
Happy yet truly sad

Wrapped in plastic surroundings
Slipping up drooling slopes
Talking to hear themselves
Deaf to any answer

Hair blowing in breeze
More concerned with style
Than what lies...

Grinning Like a Possum
Grinning Like a Possum

By Elton Camp

The president seems to be well pleased
At the last second, victory he seized

The filthy rich will fork over more
The middle class about as before

His enemies blocked him at every turn
So this tax struggle was hard to earn

The wealthy may well...

The Enlightening Encomium of Grinning Garrick Beauregard, Or, a Sailor's Death
No towering, flowering landlocked tree
Will weep for the waning life of thee
Forgive them, friend, they never saw you smile
Forgive them, friend, they never saw you smile

To mistress maritime were you married
For her you lived, so to her be buried
Below the surface of sorrowful sin
Where above...

The Grinning Tears That Held the Shade of Southern Suicides.
There was the capture of life somewhere inside his eyes...

We wiped away tears in the slipping of secrets, and I remembered the draw of suicide as
the shade of Southern Octobers grasped me in his glance.

He pursued me, his kiss and his smile the nets that...

Just They'Re Grinning
This cold night bites
They have just turned off the 
lights
 
My head is spinning
they’re just grinning 

Is this actually 
real?
Tommorow will I be able to feel?

I wait and wonder and cry some 
more  
trying to rise from the cold floor 

They could hear my...

Premium Member Grinning At the Thought of Fingers
“Caps for sale, fifty cents a cap!”*

But that was just the crowning lie,
my pinnacle tooth should be solid gold!
Oh, if the truth could be sold -
And I feel so old…

So my crown not quite queenly,
feels unnatural, quite unseemly.
I will give it a speedy test drive
and...
