Best Overstated Poems

Indeed, it is so far, far, far back where last I
Stood in sight of all her unnerving ambiguities...          
This overstated manner inborn of an innate
And intimidating elegance.         ...

Randomling 1:  Matthew Macfadyen

I believe I'm in love with Matthew Macfadyen
He inspires in me a terribly bad yen
But as poetry goes
His name 'spires woes
Cause nothing rhymes with "Macfadyen”.

I wonder---can you get one from...

Three Year Old….thinking

that potty training thing was over rated
and that “big boy” thing - quite overstated

now I can pee on the ants
thank goodness for my “big boy” pants

my feet are cold
I miss my “footies”

my “wuzzie” – mom had to boil it
just cuz I washed it...

Sometimes to no avail
You struggle to be different
Like snowflakes you fall 
Believe you are vindicated, distinct and exclusive
With innovative design and crystallized mind
Attempting to impress everyone with the hand you have 
only we all have the same cards
Razor sharp edges and frosty images
We are slush...

Can you see
through to his invisibility
Don’t grasp onto
who you need him to be.
Sure, he’s a bit complicated
Let him be fancy free and overstated 
If you try to hard you’ll never be sated

Change this
change that
He’ll never be that cat
Meow mix baby 
listen to him scat
His ideas...

What the Butler Heard
Extract from a memoir

Lord Illustrious Penge of Lampwicker Hall,
Welcomed local Toffs, to his Name-Dropper ball.
Noses upturned with a touch of conceit,
Hob-Knobbing with gentry and gentleman elite.
Colonel recalled, his luncheon with Churchill,
Discussing backbenchers and a new Commons bill.
Shooting down Stukas, Captains claim to...

Don't slide your arm around my shoulder
unless you want yours to be dislocated
Don't try to tell me I'm beautiful
trust me it's overstated and overrated
Don't ask me if you can get me a shot
I'll probably give you some lip
not the kind your thinking though
more like replying...

Give me something I that I can hold on to
If I am to lose you now
My heart will implode from desperate sorrow
We promised to be there though to the end, it was an eternal vow

Can you stay? We know we need each other more than...

Hypocritical, unethical, selfish, and unlearned
        Under developed use of our overstated minds
           Militant masochists tend to rule this world

They said that love was for creepers.

People who spend too much on booze
and praise saxophone blues. 
Bodies aching for a warm touch-
waltzing alone in a room filled with people.

And love impairs your senses
makes you see the best in people. 
It makes assholes look like heroes.

And...

Ken sits and stares from his pink cadillac.
She’s unlike the pretty girl he dated.
Birthday suit stretched on tight over nude slacks.
She’s definitely not overstated.

Ken thinks his Godiva’s lost her mind.
Nevertheless he buys her a pony
to ride and a very long wig that blinds.
Barbie giddyaps —...

You’re a nice guy but, 
No veneer toughness to call your own
Arguments are a mystery that you fail to solve
You're a nice guy but, 
Trouble is the mirror image of swagger 
You struggle from shattered glass syndrome 
You're a nice guy but, 
A tale I’ve...

He threw away…he threw away my friendship
I’m as sad as a lonesome goldfish in the bowl
Oooh…I must get a grip
Get a grip, man…
I don’t know what…I don’t know what to think anymore
Without you opening me up, I’m a locked door
Oooh…I must get a grip
Get a...

there is no ink between those lines 
so sit beside me, put away your ire
no whitespace to read, everything's fine 
It's been a long day and we're both tired

even now, golden is the light to be seen
windowed breeze blows fresh to inhale
now breathe it deep...
