RuggedI 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...

Candid CameraHere 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...

Trilogy of TerrorA metaphorical allegory
Real life-or a war story
The first one was to end them all
So they called it great
The next saw evil rise and fall
One's hate had sealed his fate
One Korea to Saigon
Russia to Bulgaria
China to Taiwan
Bloodshed in Syria
My God, oh my dear...

Ponder YonderIntoxicated 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 LoveWe’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 YouthWearing 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...

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 2I 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...

She's Thwarted His Advances For Bluer SkiesShe'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

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,...

Stomp-PadI could kill you right now
but what would that fix
any way I'm too tiered
to hand out some 'licks'
Test me again
on some other occasion
and I'll cause more drama
than an 'Alien' invasion
Disrespect me
Calling me names
Speaking in tongue's
playing little-girl games
Haven't you learned
to think about others
Don't be so...

Ronnie Coy Lee WheelerRonnie 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...
