Best Most Unpleasant Poems

What is the future? The present? The past?
Just a quick question I thought I'd just ask
Can scientists help us? So is it mere physics?
Is time metaphysical? Mental Olympics?

Do we walk backwards? See only what's been?
Or look into the fog? Far future unseen
Is there free will?...

Steam Train Troubles

Percival the steward of the train
Ordered foie gras and oysters too
But left them on the station platform like a fool
Wealthy customers will find this rather tedious
Trips from Switzerland to Germany can be quite mundane
There is plenty of coal though to keep the engine...

The Ballad of Stinking Mick

Now Mick hung close to a Butt verbose,
And the cheese it ran like treacle,
Some said it was on the bloody nose,
That he lived, was thought unbelievable,

For he was a hairy Wombat Louse,
Hitchhiking on a vehicle,
He tried sucking up to a Mouse,
got...

I love you, my love 
Like our Father's love from above
I know our tongues carry a common scar 
Scar caused by slurs
Held back during the times of war
War declared to impel my own delight
While slowly killing your dimunitive glee
My love, your untainted warmth soothed me
And...

In 1963 Dr. King gave a speech in Washington D.C.
it was a most stirring address that became a prophecy
he made mention of a dream of an America he had invisioned
one with justice, equality for all and no more racial division

In 1964 the Civil Rights Bill...

I have a can of wasp and hornet spray on my desk
It says killer on it.
Do I feel guilty?
Not a bit.
Will I use it?
Oh, yes!

During the day the wasps hide out in cracks and crevices.
But when my computer is on at night, they creep out...

Dream state yields deep sleep personifications

Upon lying supine - eye shutter lids
into the land of Wynken, Blynken, and Nod,
where the sandman beckons and bids
dead to the webbed wide world,
yours truly immune to wakefulness 
despite being tasered courtesy cattle prod,
or struck by lightning hurled 
by the...

To many of us, well, for sure, for me...
Getting up in the morning
is a most unpleasant daily chore,
You didn't sleep well, if at all...
with worries through the night...
Or, if you're a PoetrySoup addict,
you're like a drug addict for
a computer screen...
Life was so mush simpler, almost
pastoral,...

Every mortal blessed with a long life has a date with destiny.
The destiny of which I speak is not our final destiny, but one that              tends to come gradually and subtly. ...

A furor surely was ignited
When somebody from United
Made a bad decision
With a most unpleasant end.

A carrier with dog inside
(The flight attendant notified)
Was placed with luggage which
The family couldn’t comprehend.

The overhead compartment where
Kokito languished had no air
And so he barked, expecting
That he soon would be unpenned.

The...

Spoiler Forewarning Alert!

This averred title announced straight
away so lingering fans
(hoop fully letting me abbreviate)
a short cut so ye
can up and evacuate,
while metered time,

not yet foregone and not to late
hence best heed mine caution
which can protect minimum damage,
asper gray matter within pate
or blithely ignore
admonishment, aye accentuate

hmm...okay,...you...

This situation
most unpleasant
left me
more than empty handed

Staged love 
unrequited and dwindling
Although the thorough attempts
to misguide and bleed me dry
are all too common and harsh
I stand where I was placed

As if you were born of me
I remain glued to you
Your every breath
and every sentence

You disappear
when I...

a ttt- tom's true tale;

Back in the late sixties,
A rumour went around,
You could get high by
smoking banana peels,
It's veracity seemed quite sound,

So our little evil minds,
Went out and did procure,
A veritable ton of bananas
To get high, we were sure...

So we put them in the oven,
Over...

Grim reaper scion donned as nodule on lung...

Lodged squarely upon corporeal property
(i.e. necessary soft tissue)
of Amelie Beth Harris-McGeehan
mine eldest sister,
when medical technician informed
aforementioned unpleasant tidings
earlier today February 25th.

Utmost grievousness grips
analogous to invisible
strong hands strangulating
"I can't breathe"
while grappling trying to process
apocalyptic forebodings
(impinging on mine corporeal
fifty plus...

The fly lurks around putrid matter,
and delights in savouring human waste.
The distasteful things we love to hate
satisfy his insatiable taste
for foul smelling things that are better
cast in the bin from our very sight.
He does not savour anything right,
he comes to dine without our request
for he...
