Best Runts Poems

Every couple 'a years or so 
Our family reunites
It takes a couple 'a years or so
To recover from the fights

A family like our'n
Doesn't party like most do
Ours gets a little out of hand
That's why we have so few

It's a redneck family reunion
everybody has a grand...

Funny the things that stick with you
like gum beneath the table
as the years go by.
My brains goes as far back as three solar circuits;
big bro put the Wonder bread in the microwave
(package and all) --- sparks went a'flying.
And poor Mother, what would she say,
when the...

DAMSEL CAUSING DISTRESS


The knight errant sent for me, but I’ve gone missing
For three days now, while he’s composed a ditty:
In the tide of feminism I still haven’t given up kissing
Being what is termed fatalistically pretty - 

But I can be the ‘no’ that makes for...

Pawn
You've been a peon, lowly pawn your whole life
Never amounted to much,
nothing much ever went right
Grew up dirt piss poor,
never knew the reason why
you were put on this earth for
So you start cyber chasing every get-rich-scam or scheme,
cashing out is a lame loser's favorite daily...

What's fair and right we oft dismiss
While clinging to our prejudice.
But biggest biases of all
Are aimed at us, the short and small.

What's tall or towers people praise,
But opposites get no bouquets.
Short applicants are shown the door,
And folks the undersized ignore.

You call us names that really...

Rickity Ragity  by James Edward Lee Sr.
 
Rickity risked
rags while rolling rolls
role playing rogues
rose roused rubbing
rubbish right handed
ricochet retained objective

Rickity Ragity is his full name
He is a rabbit who ain't ashamed
Sewing and gambling is his game

retaining ripen red roses
russet runts running mates
ripping rip roaring...

They were wavy heart told,
there was a silver star-shaped pot of gold
at the end of the hellstorm rainbow

This was the time-honored 
private talk 
to the latest crop 
of pawn fodder privates

Battlefield grunts on the frontline
A pact of brothers
	of diverse colors
		in the Death Metal Band
Human shield...

Politics are the province of people in power,
Who eschew with all their might,
Our money and fear in which we cower,
Under their militant and watchful sight.

See the skies and you'll see the spies,
Who spray poisons in the blue,
From the planes and telemetric lies,
Tell us all is...

Christmas has it's candy canes and chocolate Santa Claus doll
Easter with it's Peeps and jelly bird eggs can get a little dull
But do you recall the greatest candy Holiday of all...

Through the dark of night guided by a dim flashlight
going house to house with an...

To my friend
I love when you bring me down
Dropping me onto the floor
Headfirst 
While my hands are forever bruised
With the shape of your fingers
Midnight, down in my room
Paint fumes, runts, waste
Sticks, non-toxic taste
Notes on squares small
And I love it all...

The little cats all look up to the terrible lion.
If they do not pay homage, he may eat them.
He gobbles the weakest runts and the old ones up in big bites.
Letting them know what he thinks of them, bullying and snarling.

Why do we look up...

Majestic evergreens, ramrod tall, towering over the fence they border
   Long-ago runts, thirsting for water, struggling for their place in the sun

Bought for a pittance, a young man's dreams egging them on
   Now he's older, they've left him behind, stumbling in...

ANOTHER    DAY   ANOTHER   JOVIAN  *  DOLLAR

Strolled down to the café to meet the guys,
The braves  as  we call ourselves in vain.
Get  a breath of fresh ammonia  from the skies 
Maybe a ...

I once heard and had myself a taste
The emptiness of hell is as vast as space
I entered the vortex trying to find
How to drive the demons from my mind
Like a snake I learned to shed my skin
Found the door to my soul and crawled on...

The last place to find what you want!!
The Garden of Action is where you must hunt.
Hoping is not powerful, and it's made for runts.
You will discover nothing at all brilliant.


In the Garden of Action is your strongest steed.
Planting your seeds for your goals you must...
