Ronald Rump
repugnant racist republican reviled - rickettsia re:itch ruler. 
rapaciously ravaged revered reverential rubric. 
radical ruthless renegade rapidly riotously rips rigged ramparts. 
refrains retaining remnant redolent regal, resplendent rafters.
riches rudely rupture rooted rectified rights.
ruckus ricochets revenant reign. 
ratified rattlebrained rules roil reductionism.
rumbustious rapscallions rollick; render ruinous...

Premium Member The Iselin Fair
When we were young we went to the fair 
With our brothers and our sisters 
We tilted on the Tilt-a-Whirl 
And we twisted on the Twisters
 
We bulleted on the Bullet 
And quite dizzy we would feel 
But my stomach always turned and turned 
When...

The Winning Raffle
The Martin family lived in a rented house across from us,
and some of the kids were forced to sleep in a converted bus.
There were thirteen kids ‘hell raising’; every one I got to know,
but the two I hung around with were Alec and his brother...

Googled and Bamboozled
Googled and Bamboozled 

When she saw my eyes they both were googled
Causing her to be dumfounded and bamboozled
And then ended up becoming completely baffled
When off all my entire brains had been raffled.

How big of a hint do you ever have to receive?
Before belligerent mind soon...

Second Amendment and Child Like Behaviour
Second Amendment and Child Like Behaviour

Suppose a red rose we should start to see
Reminding all those there of you and me
And such a short life together we did live
Total devotion to each other we would give.

AR-15 rifle is being raffled off by someone
Both automatic rifle...

Premium Member To the One Who Touched My Heart
You were only twelve when I first met you through your mom 
a special star in the sky that shone always brighter then the sun
You had the rare ability Alison of seeing auras around each soul 
and when you spoke about it, your eyes pinned...

I miss us
#I_miss_us
In this maze, you've left me, I'm now stuck, holding tight to your warm moist palms touch in my hand, something that keep my hope intact that you will some day come back, not only to me but for me. Something is out of nature...

I dread the United States presidential 2024 outcome
I dread the United States presidential 2024 outcome...

Whereby yours truly presages and doth abhor
nothing short of an imminent civil war
dwarfing insurrection on January 6, 2021
oddly enough even reducing
ordinary decibels to a mute whisper
madding crowd trumpeting cacophony of 'th?r
drowning out sense and sensibility
allowing, enabling, and providing
golden...

Souls Intertwine
Tears soothe heart's sorrow
A shoulder to lean heals the weak.
No soul seals the heart’s pore
The self only pictures its gore.
Humanity needs a shoulder to cry on,
As a star needs a night to shine.
Souls intertwine.
No man fills an island
Even testos do ease in she hand.

Sole forage...

Ronald Rump Reasonably Roasted

Remarkable – recourse retaining rickety 
rambling reverence regarding “r.”

My lookalike dilemma
#My_Lookalike_Dilemma
Feels like a Curse, since my childhood someone somewhere looked like me, Nigerians call me Ogah, Somalians calls me Their Own, got punished for being a Lookalike, forced to witness my Purity feathers raffled, bruised from inside out, 

fear cripples my bones, I'm never free...

Lovely weather for Dunners' ducks
Lovely weather for Dunners' ducks (tongue in cheek peek at Dunedin's historic deluge)


"Stares upstairs..

Angels’ weeing above..

Be a good chap..

Show some love bruv..

Turn off the tap..

*****
No refuge from the subterfuge of the deluge..

Parched sandbag phalanxes..

Ranks marching in flanks..

Arching across busted banks..

Quaffing..scoffing..downpour spanks..

Disbelief at the leisurely river...
