Best Paper Towel Poems

I feigned taking a bite
attempting, of course, to convince her

oatmeal was yummy, "good for her"
necessary               etc.


I made rhymes of moons 
          ...

One day I delivered a poem
one that seemed to be premature
so I swaddled her up
and set her aside
to grow 'til I felt reassured

How she yowled and howled for attention...
how she cried so piteously!
How she coughed and she sneezed
whimpered and wheezed
then threw up all over me!

Still...

In The Kitchen:

Hang a pound of hickory smoked thick sliced bacon
Cover the bacon with white paper towel to prevent splatters
Pre-heat oven to 350 degree
Cover baking sheet with silver aluminum foil
Place whole-wheat yeast rolls on the baking sheet
Dot each roll with luscious creamery fresh butter
Place rolls...

The slabbed ceiling tiles are becoming the patio slabs of my childhood home.
I'm highly strung in more ways than one, trying to send my mind elsewhere,
but half-buried memories insert themselves, sliding in with the speculum.
Five years old, the too-close cuddling, pressing and rubbing
his p***s playing...

~ Chzarisma is my Vaccine~

    

People are frightened of joyous, positive  souls. 
They cling to paper masks, sanitizers and paper towel rolls! 


They will not get near me for a chat. 
Too ignorant to know that Sir Death knows exactly where...

I make a cup of coffee, and bathe in its perfume
And add some chocolate cookies til my diet must resume
I pray the photographer doesn't see that I have gone food rogue
Cuz like he said, "Chubby chicks will never grace a page of Vogue."

I'm careful because...

It is hard to show my enthusiasm when everything around is looking so dark and grim
It is hard  to show my enthusiasm when the global events have done me in
I have woken up to a brand new day with hardcore reality flashing in my...

No frills airlines will get your money
My fair means or by foul
This may mean them charging you
If you need a paper towel
Or if decompression occurs
And the oxygen mask is hanging there
You will have to put a pound coin in
Before it dispenses any air...

I've seen the face of evil
It tried to stare me down 
It expected me to run
But instead I stood my ground

Its eyes were bloodshot red
Like a hooker high on meth
Its teeth were in a glass
It tried to gum me half to death

Its nose was like...

There is a limit I can be pushed to
If driven to it, could I kill ?
Last night I found out

As I was undressing
I felt I was being focused upon
The intruder's cold stares froze me in terror
My heart threatening to pound right out of my chest

We...

I knew a girl
once who had
a clothesline that ran
across her kitchen.
When she would water
her houseplants,
she could never remember
how much
water each one needed
to maintain a healthy
green glow.
She said, “I’d rather them
leak than go
thirsty.”
She placed neatly folded paper
towels beneath
each young plant.
An hour after
each over-watering
she would
pick up the...

Your love life goes up and down. You find a person that's so great, loving and everything
you ever wanted but distance causing him to push you away. But you can't understand, your
heart that is. Your heart is having a hard time dealing with the fact...

"Buttons"

Silly word really, right? 

Sounds like when to speak it... like you just admitted that your bottom weighs an amount in the tons. 

Hell man, with me... ! 

"Wouldn't want a cart to move my tired old but".

"It would have to be a big one"....

My daughter,
with Fetal Alcohol crippling emotional intelligence damage
and Cerebral Palsy perpetual TerribleTwo
"is too many,
because Earth is all about ego-defiant me"
has taught herself
to attach her lips,
and sometimes her wet licking tongue
when she is feeling particularly needy
and/or playful
or maybe just hungry,
to my male dominant capital forehead
when she...

Disaster Looming


		Since this virus
		Has come to be,
		All unnatural
		Happenings we see,
		In the store,
		Pray it’s not later,

		Hurry! We need more
		Everyone’s breaking down the door!
		No sanitizers!  No bread! No eggs!
		No napkins!  No paper towel!
		No aspirin!
		This is a mortal sin!
		This is totally unnatural!
		Hundreds...
