Blue Moon
I'm lost inside your world...
       Hang on every word...
       A love I can't afford...
       I breaks my heart...
       Sapping my hopes..

I am going to write a funny poem
Why does life have tomorrow?
Because if it doesn't 
Wouldn't you have it today?
Far near
How far is far
And how near is near?
Close enough to me
You are too close
What do you take one by?
By the hand?
I am nothing to you
By...

Premium Member Candid Camera
Here are some fun things that happened
On that classic Candid Camera show
A man walked backwards on a sidewalk
People copied him, wouldn't you know?

A man wearing only tighty whiteys
Asked the hotel clerk for a room
A street cleaner starts cleaning the gutters
With a broom handle but missing...

Ponder Yonder
Intoxicated by the vast open sea
Her music and fragrance
Let me entice you with my words sticky
Don’t get hot under the collar
For it is nothing but words
Simple words yet powerful
That is, if you allow yourself to be carried away
Whatever you are thinking right now
Is not what...

A Kind of Love
We’re writing hieroglyphics for the next civilization to decipher
Armageddon is brewed in the lab for children like us born in petri-dishes
Raised like crops plugged amid weeds
We downgrade to something less than human
The weather forecast is hot under the collar
Amid self elected rule
A runaway economy fallen...

Estranged Youth
Wearing your ego in that ride as you go
A new fragrance to hide an old flaw 
A cool flow that’s hot under the collar
In that overdue ostentation soon to follow

Wearing labels you are labelled like a billboard
And branding a fake patriotism and brotherhood 
You are...

Premium Member Six Months of Lockdown


Don't tell me to wear a mask, it's so frightful.
I find God's fresh air more than delightful!

So be on your way, and happy vaccine day!
Natural living, great immunity and organic diet are my way.

Now this makes some people hot under the collar.
But since I can't leave...

Pompano Fishing, Part 2
I didn’t tell them, it had started as a joke
When I caught two more that’s when they started to croak
They checked my rig to make sure that theirs was the same
Took my spot in boat, still I heard them complain

Then I caught another one from...

Premium Member She's Thwarted His Advances For Bluer Skies
She's thwarted his advances for bluer skies 

cat chasing her tail
to poking at nothing there
why is this such a fail
retrieving her blank stare

he tries again, his paws
grasping thin air
his teeth into her jaw
for answers to her impair

he scowls, then paces to scare
purring none the less
as...

Artificial Intelligence
By: Tom 
2/14/2021

Things are created each day
that will be man’s downfall.
example:
A.I. has given me a robotic dog,
he isn’t bothered by cold,
has no problems with fleas,
but is plagued with a skin rash called rust,
so he stays inside when raining or has to be oiled daily.
oh,...

Ronnie Coy Lee Wheeler
Ronnie was born on October the thirteen.
Ozzfest was here on his first birthday.
Next year he will be twelve years old.
Nearly a teenager he will be.
Inch by inch he is growing up.
Every year he reminds me more and more of lil' coy.

Careless and daring he is.
Out...

To Cook My Head
it was hot
makes you feel spent just breathin'
but she was comfortable as judas in hades
just like ice cool in the shade
you shout and dance about with all this jealousy
you are electric hot under the collar
but the winds are blowing in her favor
but the rivers are...

Premium Member Go Large
Was in Burger King when I spied her
The other staff, mingers beside her
I ordered, hot under the collar
She asked me, go large for a dollar?

Next day, I went there quite late
I asked if she’d come on a date
You buying? I heard her boss holler
She guessed...

Love Song's
I LOOKED AT HER
IN THEM TIGHT FITTEN' JEANS

SUMBODY KNEADIN LOVE

YET STAY'S WITHIN THE LINES
HOW CAN I WONDER
