Best Repartee Poems

As he stood paper cup in hand by the drinking fountain on a train

 somewhere south of Kankakee, miles from Chicago,

 a quiet, pensive, older man was getting harangued by a loudmouthed, 

 blowsy, beer drinking, inconsiderate, disheveled and overweight woman.

 Aka, his wife. ...

Enjoying an appealing repartee
Over scones and a cup of tea
Belching whilst cooking
Avoiding chronic particles from choking

Comradeship amongst landed gentry and friends
It all makes faultless sense
Avoiding topics that’s nonsensical
Keeping a lid on emotions and remaining sensible

Being sensuously sociable
Status eminent and unreachable
It is nonetheless within pulpit reach
Spattered...

Must confess, you guys keep me alive
On our daily repartee, I continue to thrive
So many friends
Companions to the end
Journeying forth, my joy I can't hide

I relish sparring repartee of clever quips...

Particularly, when voicing and/or
writing bon mots doth betake

rumbled stilled skin,
and e'en rouses 
this mummified corpse
(asleep for bajillion years) 
among sleepers awake,
where mine inside belly 
doth pleasantly ache

jollity the best medicine 
most thus spoke Zarathustra,
asper nonpareil persona...

I saw a fierce tiger moving in the woods,
Last time when I was playing gulf with Tiger Woods.
I looked tony and ready to cruise,
As I was introduced to Toni Cruz.
Big ups to James and Brown for gifting me that nice shoe,
It looks like...

Happy as a pig
Doing a jig
A jig's not my thing, gonna resort to repartee...

My name is Julie Chatterbox,
 I do waste thoughts a lot,
I can perform my monologue,
My brain does yap-a-lot,
All I have to say,
Is raise your coffee this way,
To stinking thinking, okay!
If you want an opinion, ask me,
I can indulge in repartee!...

I had to discourage the love of Mary Lou
My pals advised me what to do 
Just insult her the Texas way
She'll set you free and go away.

But Mary Lou heard on the grapevine of my plan, 
so decided down the road she could kick the...
