Best Lay Down The Law Poems
Old TomOld Tom was wrinkled
His face full of care
A military blazer
He'd always wear
Tom was a fighter
He'd boxed in the ring
He had gone to war
He'd fought for his King
His medals with pride
He always wore
In the pub of an evening
He'd lay down the law
Every November
He went...

Lyric
Nature of the Beast: : the Black Panther SpeaksAs the only large cat with a voice I roar from within my solitude
Prowling with swagga and a side of attitude
My voice is wild game's command
Order in the kingdom is my superior demand
Backed clearly by my teeth and claws
They call...

As the naughtiest word in the english language
By this new extremely naughty four letter word
Yup! You guessed it... SNOW!!!
The notorious S-Bomb!

Oh the shame of it all
The parents try so hard to bring...

Twentieth Century Oz - For the WizMr Wiz, Munchkin Land
Be so kind to lend a hand...
Cartwheeling cottage? how daft is that
Landed quite safely, all level and flat
Some midget fellow said, who else heard that
I think ‘Wicked Westie’ might just have gone splat
Tin men and lions and blokes full of straw
Red shoes...

Good EggsI feel like I’m blessed in this life by good eggs
But, of course, on occasion one’s rotten,
A good egg compares to a wine that has legs
The rare bad one is quickly forgotten.
A good egg just seems to slide down oh so nice
While a bad one...

Crimes of the Future(Authors Note: Be advised; this poem contains some non-delicate language but
it does have fewer calories than other similar generic poems)
Crimes of the future wait like raw sausages
Fat fingers in the eye of justice
Blind, inevitable, they climb greasy
Time is right around the corner in a...

Tarturus's RaptureRadiance, shining, illuminating translucency
sky's vast, expansive blue richoting and rivaling ocean views
loose limbs and bashful expression lay scattered across the placid sky
divinity fixed in a space unaffected by man
white clouds swirl, wrapping like ivy around golden gates.
Ultraviolent inferno lay below while serine holy oceans...

Cliches AwayThree sheets in the wind
And rubbed the wrong way
By a fair weather friend
You must seize the day
Let your hair down
And lay down the law
Be the talk of the town
With your last hurrah
With all your high hopes
Few and far in between
Up against the ropes
Taking one...

AuthorityAuthority
Authority is a privilege
It is power mixed with rule
It’s control and domination
Oftentimes misused as tool
And when orders are not followed
When instruction is ignored
Then the charge will be defiance
Which will soon be underscored
For authority wants order
Yes, it will lay down the law
And expect your acquiescence
Whether or...

Ballad
Top of the Tree
There’s a charming woodland creature
reputed to be wise
With a knack for spotting problems
with their eager, clever eyes
Keen and daring to be different
Turning heads through all degrees
They love imparting knowledge
showing off their expertise
And in amongst their hunting
firmly grasped by bill and claw
they hold a sense of...

TabooIn life so much is such a taboo,
too many things you ought not to do.
Do them anyway, just for the thrill,
right from the heart,
your soul,
your will.
People may gasp,disgust, dismay.
That'll just increase the secrets we play.
Wont be told what's right or wrong,
the world's just singing to...

So, Just Say It's SoIt's your right to choose.
It's no love to lose.
Funny how life does go.
So, just say it's so.
Yes, she can't see it,
so step up and be it.
For one tender moment...
go on, embrace her -
you need to face her.
Feelings that you know -
not afraid to show.
When...

Lyric
Fiddy Cents
Raise up the oars,
get ready to row
Fiddy cents to a dollar,
start rocking the boat
Lay down the law,
be on the swivel scold
Fiddy cents to a dollar,
ropes are tightening throats
Don’t kill the messenger
bringing the bad news
Fiddy cents to a dollar,
you got nothing to lose
Night of the reaper,
death...
