Best Quackery Poems

What underhanded monkey business 
razzle-dazzle bull is this? 
Whose double-crossing, flimflam scam, 
debauchery or hocus sham 
is wheeling dealing in romance, 
putting lovers in a trance? 

Antics, capers or witch's brew, 
enchanting hymns or shaman's stew, 
whose quackery or voodoo drink 
made Casanova stop and...

Though still within our infancy, 
we strive to thrive, but woefully 
we flash and flaunt our 'primacy',
display our trophies pridefully.
 
Our terra firma ecstasy
destroys survival's harmony,
lays waste to life on land and sea.
Mankind, thy name is vanity!

By doubting Nature's regnancy,
defying laws with levity,
we strain our...

Ever heard of a creep name'a bully gates?
The real snake eyed misb-egotton rake
Of death he quotes; and compiles notes
To paroxsyms erotic does his being shake?
Croons dead flat, pennys left; its eyes he'll take
Sickness he offers, and its spores with glee
He's not out to stop! any...

OF THE COMMON SEAS
  "We must come down from our heights, and leave our straight paths, for the byways and low places of life, if we would learn truths by strong contrasts; and in hovels, in forecastles, and among our own outcasts in foreign...

Perhaps like a lightning
bolt of clear out of the blue
rigor mortis (tenon and
three decades hence)
two thousand fifty nine if you
count from January 13th 2019, adieu

attest that day 9 months I did brew
in wound (of the late Harriet Harris),
now finds me loved ones
crying boo hoo,
after this...

Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand
Surely the most pious, learned Christian in all the land

Came out today with a most scholarly shocker
For which I find it hard to do aught but mock her

She told several fawning reporters** that restricting abortion
Is against the Christian faith, at least its...

THE STREET EVANGELIST

There is a new dark shroud of wintry mass,
Covering the hidden beauty of the land.

It emanates from a deceptive layer 
Of smooth-honeyed words which stroke
Their spiteful way into artless minds,
Hearing with open conduits. 

The charlatan, dressed up 
As a worthy preacher, 
Smirks through...

The Truth About Psychics

By Elton Camp

How can people be so easy to deceive
That in “psychics” they will believe?

And somehow even fail to understand
Studies show trickery or sleight of hand

The Amazing Randi is one I much admire
For he sets the charlatans’ coat tails on fire

Hitler was...

 Quiet quibbles with silence and hushed wind’s quackery.
Have nonsensical need for an ice cold daiquiri.

Chicanery of leafy season, coursing slowly,
before its blustery countermand uplifts wholly.

Monotonous quarrel needs a quaff of arctic air,
an unquestioning brisk of maple burning its flare,

Like brandy, in quiescent afterglow’s flirtation,
