Best Safe Than Sorry Poems


Premium Member Picture This
Picture life in heaven
perhaps it's time to try
Better safe than sorry
And live with God,on high;
Picture all the people,
Loving day, by day

Picture there,a wedding
a supper with a feast
where the last is first
and the grandest is the least;
Picture all the people,
Loving day, by day

You may say I...

Premium Member How's Your Old Ticker Ticking
How's your dear old ticker ticking
When's the last time you had it checked
If it's been a while then get right to it
Better safe than sorry by heck

Us old guys need to keep on top of it
Procrastination can be a deadly thing
Knew a man who's now...

Quija Board
Be warned one and all, 
Quija board is not a game,
Because it opens up a 
dimensional gate. 

Rules were made to be 
broken,
fools would think its harmless,
It does not see colour,gender 
or race,

Ignorant is not an excuse,
Arrogant are attracted like 
flies,
Better be safe than sorry.

You...

Better Choice At the End
The wife ‘n I were taken out
by me’ bosses on a Christmas ‘do’,
to a restaurant I can’t afford,
uptown in some swank avenue,
where a waiter dressed up to kill,
in a black formal suit with a tie,
pulled out the chair for me bottom,
and placed a napkin over...

Welcome Back To School
It is almost that time,
the summer is disappearing in the skies.
Have to make sure I am able to educate,
teaching writing to the youth is how I elevate.
I have:
my lesson plan book,
a pretty business suit,
2 pens and a pencil,
a cup of coffee in hand,
Welcome Back to...

Life Itself
Titanium, 
Strong mental minded, behind it
Looking for the lost and found, but can't find it.
Sharp energy intense, timed it
No one can see the future - I guess we’re all blinded.

Strong like gorilla, softer than blue, skys above your head sunny afternoon.
Delicate delight, delicious every bite...

Early in the MOURNING I usually went out,
To ride my bike on a FLOUR filled route.

A nice ride in the evening I had arranged.

I found myself riding THREW the dark scary WOULDS,
A BARE popped out and I dropped...

Criminals-- Part 5
After the ware house we decided to
seperate for a week or two
I grabbed a brew down on Girard
avenue 
thats right where you can still see 
the ghost tormenting all but the so-called
sinners.
My trip out of town will be a different
kind of assembly, a couple of...

Food For Thought
A stitch in time could save nine that makes sense
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket, that’s recompense
By hook or by crook, by the skin of your teeth, as old as the hills
You’re as young as you feel; come what may, keep taking the...

A Safe State of Affairs
Better safe than sorry?
Fallacy.
I say, better sorry than safe.
Even if brought, calamity.
Safe never dreams.
Safe never changes.
Safe found no new thing, new places,
a new people's strangeness.
New cultures, new stars, new planets.
Safe hides in fortified sameness.
Safe only discovered a sandy smile.
Flightless, oversized bird that it is.
Safe killed...

To My Sons Your Farthers Instructions
The words I give you are sound
They have been my comfort
They have been my companion
This is Protocol never be anxious 
Be Slow to speak and quick to listen
And when in doubt, wait and think about it
Always respond and never react to a crisis
Never panic always...

Only time will tell the outcome of this rhyme,
Whether it will succeed in the nick of time.
So better safe than sorry, as they say,
A good beginning makes a good ending, I pray. 

I’ll write a little bit of this and a little bit of that,
All...

Premium Member Woman In Gilded Cage
Better safe than sorry, some claim it to be.
This gilded cage that can deceive.

Safe the woman held within, whom may never
spread her wings or sail in the wind.

The safety of this gilded cage hinders, 
those scared or forced to stay.

A potential so great may never...
