Best Joshing Poems

My new husband was a farm boy
who didn't like to roam.
It always took a lot of nagging
to get him to leave home.
But we were newly married,
I hadn't learned all of his dislikes.
I imagined us as travelers
who'd be going on big hikes.
So I was unaware of...

If I could have a Christmas miracle,
I would surely like to go
Back to Mama’s bounteous table
And the ones that I loved so.

My dear daddy would still be there,
My brothers and my son,
My young husband and my mama
Before the sad times had begun.

And because this is...

A beggar cannot dare expect fabulous gifts.
His impolite joshing keeps logical men nervous.
Old panhandlers quite regularly start to upbraid virtuous women.
X-rateds yield zilch....

You can't commit suicide by holding your breath
Going to try it now my good friends
If it works it's been great knowing you guys
If  my  poe-m  e-n-d-s  h-e-r-e  t-h-e-n-n-n-n-n . . .

Don't panic people, still alive and kicking
Just joshing and having...

A “fat psychic” is a “four chin teller” 
A yukker from my extensive comedy cellar
Where my funnies lie
With my barbiturate supply 
Joshing in case some cops are Soup dwellers...

I've got a rash on my hand and wrist
Right where my little mouse doth sit
Does anyone know where I can find
A hypoallergenic mouse of any kind

funny to think about..)...

Vane glorious and absolutistic,
     though I defiantly,
     cavalierly, and blithely attest
Yukon bet your (laugh-in) sweet bippy
     mine acidic breast

houses anarchic, anti-poetic ballistic,
     barbaric, and bubonic

My eldest sister Amélie Beth...
ever the amateur family entomologist

Upon texting her a picture
(countless moments ago
since October ninth)
unfamiliar delicate looking critter -
(seen inside the apartment many times),
she quickly identified crane fly
agilely affixed to lampshade.

I figuratively tip hat at Tipulidae
long legged dainty insect
poised to strike proboscis,
where adults...

NO, IT WAS NOT PANAMA PETE THIS TIME
She and I met at a bar so it’s very ironic
That now I should require some pills and a tonic
Just to forget what Joe the barkeep wants to know
I simply suppose because business was slow
So Joe told me...

Church Supper

She puts salt and pepper on tables
covered in white paper from rolls.
She always enjoys church suppers -
special recipes from different kitchens.
She can’t help as much as she used to,
but she can put out condiments and butter.

She watches the bustle in the kitchen -
men and...

Pitching electioneering, albeit Democratic ticket...
as 2020 presidential election nearing
pleading joshing, and endearing...

The choice for commander in chief dum...
dum... dum... dum..
will winnow down, thus
political prognosticator pundits
no longer remain mum
between Donald John Trump,
whose second term win,
would find yours truly numb

versus Joseph Robinette Biden Junior
could infuse flickering
uneasiness among...

The genuisness exited
Leave it cuz
Numbers don't add
Due to no money
Joshing you
Judges raise the roof
Two Sams are kinged not knighted
Our chronicles erased
Nah me high
East of here is the job
Palms are crossed
Always liked verbs
Eccles cakes are tasted
The solo man sings
I say aaaaah
Germs of my laments
Easy Kel
Dan as...

America at a critical political crossroads...,

nevertheless hope springs eternal,
especially after listening
to Vice President Kamala Harris
and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz
speak at the The Liacouras Center
1776 North Broad Street,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19121
on the evening of August sixth,
two thousand and twenty four.

able bodied, minded
and spirited Democratic...
