Best Punches Poems

From my editor:
     “I’ll call you Deadline Devonshire, a nickname born
     Your tombstone will read, ‘She was never late before’”

From my sister:
     “I’ll take claim to the gene pool’s beauty and brains

ROLLING WITH THE PUNCHES

one true constant in life we all
know too well is 
change

just when you love that your days form
patterns, things grow
strange

circumstances change in split seconds
accidently they
rearrange

we have to roll with the punches
adjust , accept and
sustain 

go with the flow, try not to control
God...

"Let me draw your bath, dear Grace!" 
(the space heater's perched upon the rim, 
and there's hydrochloric acid, just in case!) 

My .45 revolver, my machete from Trelew 
will come in very handy 
if the other two exigencies fall through! 

I think I've thought of...

"Let me draw your bath, Sweet Face!"
(the space heater's perched upon the rim,
with some hydrochloric acid, just in case.)

My .45 revolver, my machete from Trelew
will come in very handy, lest 
the other two exigencies fall through.

I think I've thought of everything
except that creep you slept...

TOTALLY tongue-in-cheek!  Inspired by a character in Dylan Thomas' "Under Milk Wood" who plotted to poison his wife. It was all in his mind, as is the case with my character here.

The last thing my doctor said to me as I walked out the door
Remember you’re not twenty, dear you’re almost seventy-four
As I turned to leave I thought to myself it won’t be such a chore
My sister and her cat moved first, I had a week,...

Pull no punches

Game no Thrones

Salt your favorite food less and less

Undress not in the company of others
unless of course you plan on swimming

And do it then whilst undercover or
in a bolted clock room closet

Never let or give all your very best
secrets away

Maybe keep them well...

R-oll with the punches, 
O-utsmart the situation;
L-ife changes constantly, 
L-etting you get up, not 
Y-awn.

D-espite the odds be brave enough, 
E-vil deeds can't put you down;
L-ittle breakthrough truly brings  
I-mmeasurable result that you've found. 
Z-est and zeal dwell in your heart, aiming to give...

Can't cure the ills of the world, there's good days and there's bad
Best we can do is roll with punches, listen to this experienced lad
Been around many blocks
Had a few knocks
But all in all, it's been better than average, I might add...

A time you must exploit
To have things for him spoilt;
To stop The Cynical,
His knockout ‘Technical’…

Let him drink more punches
And keep making bunches;
Soon, The guy you would waste
And His Hopeless Case rest…

More jabs to his soft head
To soon help him see Red…
He’d be hating himself
And you...

Can't cure all the ills, there's good days and bad
Roll with punches, according to this experienced old lad
Been around many blocks
Had a few knocks
But all in all, it's been better than the alternative I might add...

You're throwing one set of punches
Barely acting on your hunches.
You can't be lucky with left hooks.
They'll, sure, connect them: Boxer Crooks:
Perhaps, then, stop to at you grin
Like Spinks had at Homes for  a win...

The point: stop launching lame attacks
Or you watch out as your...
