Best On A Roll Poems


Premium Member My Muse Is On a Roll
My mind has taken off for Neverland,
I am hanging on by a cobweb, 
It is bumping me against Venus
and has dragged me up through a black hole
or two.  I barely dodge a couple of rocket-spinning- asteroids.

 4:11 a.m.
I am screaming, “Slow down! Stop! Please...

Premium Member I Was On a Roll
I was on a roll
Dunked into vegetable soup 
We passed peas, corn, and carrots
Someone slathered butter on me.
Uh-oh!...

On a Roll With the Dole
Sending foreign aid just doesn’t make sense
With American families living in tents
Just how many countries rushed to give cash
When into New Orleans Katrina crashed

San Andreas fault runs through our nation
Cross Western states, widespread devastation
Our British, Aussie and Canadian friends
Are the only ones on whom we...

Premium Member On a Roll For Contest
I nestled my bottom on the seat
Of the toilet - I’m being discrete
I finished my job
Now need a lynch mob
It’s a good thing I didn’t excrete!

There’s no paper left in the loo
My language is turning quite blue
If you use the last sheet
Will you kindly replete
Or...

Look love lines link
Ideas in ink
Give gain grand grope
Heed hidden hope
Touch trouble tears
Sense sober seer


Crude charms crumble
Ask aid ample
Mindset moves match
Employ each etch
Reap rapture's rum
Ask apt alarm


Appease amber
Cool clear charmer
Troupe telling think
Invoke iced ink
Observe oil ooze
Noxious new noose


Write words wound well
Heaven hurls hell
Earn each evolve

Angry Ex-On-A-Roll
You called me a smartass, and this I must confess,
                  it’s better than that other part it seems that you know best.

Your better half you called your man...

Education On a Roll
Cutting to the chase
School is the far most place
Learning never stops
No matter how old we are
The earth is so vast 
Just as our minds 
Using small portions 
Wast valued signs
Books 
People
Events
Open door sits...

Premium Member On a Roll
Some dogs are disasters,
ignoring their masters;
she’s simply not that type.
Though she gets on a roll,
she’s quite good on the whole,
so I rather hate to gripe.
My one little issue:
she likes to eat tissue,
a form of internal wipe.

LIFE ON A ROLL

Another sunset to walk towards,
This day ending.  Boots worn down some more.
Rascal at my side.  We ate only once.
No complaints, no whimpers, only sore.

We'll find a place to lay,
as the sun sets behind an oak.
Perhaps for a while we'll stay,
with...

Premium Member On a Roll Again
On a roll again, fell off the wagon for a bit
A wee glitch, no idea why garbage I did emit
Well I'm over it now
No more nonsense I vow
Strictly perfection as usual, really no ****!...

On a Roll Is my Role Horn Haik
when in the parlor
should see Christmas squalor
grow taller and taller

while really on a roll
Christas tree was full of coal
all my gifts Santa stole

when college scholar
who would receive a caller
head stuck in huge howler

when receiving shawl
for Christmas from shopping maul
stuck it in shower stall 

for Christmas...
