A Grisly Tapeworm

A Grisly Tapeworm	


In Anger and in Hatred, a Tapeworm I see 
Unless internally hosted, its Life will not be.
From egg it starts Life, ‘fore an adult worm
Fed on Host’s blood, it gains a portly form.

While finer or fatter, greedy Worm gnaws,
The wretched Host, pale and thin he grows.
Then the anaemic Host, too ill to live a day	
Falls in the dark pit, where there’s no ray!

                         *
	
The same story is true of a Man with Hate
Hate soon embraced, is an iniquitous mate.
So, I avidly learned , my temper to narrow
Perspective being that it eats man’s marrow.

To nurture it in Heart, Hate will grow so big
And wiggle one’s Dignity; like a tail of a pig!
For, Anger grows so fat that Man is in sorrow
By eating all his vim to leave a man hollow!

                         *

To internalise Hate is to eat a sharp blade
That curves from inside while fast you fade.
It spins some mortal blow in its incisive poise	
That fates and finishes by its hushed noise:

The structure curves in, trusses cut and gone
He falls on the floor with not a single bone!


                             *

Hearken ye therefore, Hate begets dearth
Piety Mad Haters who know no inner mirth!
For, to lavish in Love, denigrating foolish Hate
Bestows inner Peace or sense of pure sate.

Gimme not filthy wealth, gimme not lucre
I’m a happy man giving Love and Succour!!

Premium Member A Grisly Tale

About the lives of bears for years
A Czech and Pole were keen.
But neither had in their careers
A grizzly ever seen.

They therefore flew to Yellowstone
With data they'd compiled
To find and study on their own
Some grizzlies in the wild.

"It's mating season, so beware,"
They heard a ranger say.
"We need to know you're safe out there,
So call us every day."

The calls arrived for five days straight,
But then no more were heard.
Officials said investigate
To find what had occurred.

The rangers searched both day and night
And hope was growing dim.
A pair then found the camping site,
But what they saw was grim.

Some bears had torn the camp to shreds.
The men were not around.
But luckily the female's treads
Observant rangers found.

They followed, killed, and sliced the bear
To stomach contents scan.
The Pole's remains were clearly there,
But not the other man.

One ranger said, "It does appear
We've searched to no avail."
The other nodded, "Yes, I fear
The Czech is in the male."

The Lady With the Grisly Face

And it was not till this day, that I looked upon her saddened grisly face that time had erased, and taken away and deformed, and it was not till this day that I came to realize, why it was fated that she be fortuned with love and not I, but upon this realization I smiled...

Premium Member Grisly Grizzly Bear

The Brown Grizzly Bear is so called, 
not for its grizzled hair, grey-tipped
but because it is truly grisly, horrible!
(Ursus arctos horribilis)
This brown bear is gruesome and deplorable.

The amber Pizzly Bear is so called,
not for its swizzle stick.
but because it is a hybrid bear, 
a Polar-Grizzly cross, 
(Ursus maritimus × Ursus arctos)

The ash-grey Koala Bear is not a bear at all,
though it's nice and teddy-bear cuddly.
(Phascolarctos cinereus) 
But the 'arktos' in its genus name, means 'bear'.
Its been wrongly named from the start, 
the 'ashy-grey' pouched bear.
So there you have it!
Three bears, caught breaking and entering, 
slagging off the language.

Atomic Brinkmanship Double Edged Grisly Horror Jawbones Kristallnacht

Vladimir Putin itching
to loose nuclear bomb
end of the world scenario ofttimes
iterated throughout history
though an atheist (actually Unitarian),
no doubt this, that or another psalm
countless times the Bible
references Armageddon and doomsday
impossible mission to remain
cool, collected and calm.

Whether affiliated with donkey or elephant
Democrat or Republican viz
blue war red respectively
political hot issues don't amount
to a (Sam) hill of beans
when Sword of Damocles count
approaches zero hour
as global tensions mount

signaling increased chance

Red Herring

As a young boy
when not very old
I did enjoy
being told
grisly bedtime stories
by my Mother
the favourite was
none other
than
altho' I was just a nipper
Whitechapel Fishmonger Murders
perpetrated by
Jack the Kipper
