Best Ruled The Roost Poems

For years the men have ruled the roost
so it’s high time ladies soccer got a boost
In July the winning team will lift the cup
it’ll be filled with bubbly for gals to sup!

Two teams will play in the final game
the winning side will see their name
as...

There once was a canary full of rage.
Who shrewdly trapped a sly cat in her cage.
Without a feather ruffled
and Kittie's meows muffled,
she now ruled the roost, as queen of her stage!

Oh how unlucky can a boy be
Not to have one sister but three
I was always the one who got the blame
And had to hang my head in shame
For everything 
They could do no wrong
And how they'd tease me all day long
They made Cinderella's ugly sisters...

Inferiority complex as a kid, adolescent and emerging adult

Yours truly (an amazingly,
gracefully, and markedly modest
passively aging baby boomer -
formerly introverted long haired
pencil necked geek),
prattling wordsmith doth behold
nostalgic memories regarding father
(Boyce Brandon Harris)
long ago lapsed decades

during papa's prime time
many years past when complacence
existed about joie de...

Dwight D. Eisenhower, a heroic general in World War Two
  Elected thirty-fourth President of the USA in 1952 

Fondly remembered as an American Golden Age 
  His era had its fair share of turbulence and rage
    on both the domestic...

In Chicago, Mayor RICHARD J ruled the roost DALEY for 21 years,
  Til he breathed his last, giving way to the 'next sir:'  
  A pol named MICHAEL, who was dull and B'LAND-ICk!
When a snowstorm paved the way for a female successor.

'Hurricane...

Though fear is an instinctive characteristic
It is implanted by some suckers, on the society
Giving birth to an intimidating practice; hoary
That has gripped the humanity since genesis.

Exploitation is the dearest offspring of fear
That has enslaved humankind down the ages
Unleashing a reign of trepidation repeatedly
Has no parallel...

Venomous poison ran through my veins
exuding an emotionless nihilism
that led to everyday iniquitous quarrels
that left us devoid of truth and peace.
 
Why did I lose myself in such self-pity?
Can I blame you for your obscene replies?
Had love taken an undeserved holiday?
Confusion and irrational thoughts reigned.

The cinnamon red rooster lost
His place in the pecking order
Of the flock where another rooster
Battled him to near death
Leaving him with one eye pecked out
And the other swollen shut
Like a boxer who had gone too many rounds
Against the superior contender

That old rooster, forlorn and isolated
From...

Saturdays, Tom and Jerry ruled the roost
Their antics gave my young life a real big boost
Laughing was the rule
Hallelujah, no school
They were hilarious, many chuckles they induced...

With photography
figurative art did flee
defeated by ego 'selfie'
Impressions took centre stage
'til 20th century abstract
became the rage
This expressive genre
still ruled the roost
until  digital facility was introduced
&  by AI was traduced...

How can I mingle with the poor, I’m a millionaire,
My intellect superior,
And the masses inferior.
I am a street sweeper, my name is Jane,
Passers by think I’m insane,
I am the sole earner in a family of five.
I have been voted in as a president,
Those idiots out...

timid, meek, and demure (effeminate) me,
essentially ruled the roost
regarding Harris household
sole son characterized vis a vis
presented passive resistant
outward nonestablishmentarian mold
worst case scenario
would witness Matthew Scott Harris
spending longevity old and feeble minded
at 324 Level Road

outliving parents, pets
(comprising inordinate
number of dust bunnies) and siblings
(an older and younger...

Tyler was a real happy man,
looking down at his phone,
the mayor said,“We need less police,
their crimes are so well known.”
They’d not arrest if you stole less
than a thousand from a store,
and decided, for the ‘oppressed,’
no cash bail anymore.
This was just great for Tyler since
three times...

My mind ruled the roost in my little world.
My mind is the fury below the calm water flow.
My mind is the darkness behind the blue summer sky.
My mind is revenge for all the cries in your life.

My mind is your weapon even in hindsight.
My mind...
