Theory of Devolution
I am a pacifist I despise war.
It’s the only thing I actually hate.
I’m never able to brace myself for
Diplomacy that deteriorates:
Recriminating dialogue amuck
That results in irrationality.
Adults become intellectual schmucks
Whose mentality in reality
Is equivalent to a chimpanzee
In spite of our advances in science.
Our mentality still swings...

Ode To My Wife's Butt
A true vision of loveliness, wiggle-bouncing down the street
Just the sight at times incites a spontaneous victory dance
Particularly when it’s in tight bike shorts perched upon a seat
And I don’t forget the way it flatters your yoga pants

It’s been with us through all our days,...

Premium Member Lent Vs Yom Kippur
Christians have their Lent,
40 days of atonement,
sacrificing something of enjoyment.
When those 40 days of atonement comes to an end,
if you have not indulged once your sacrifice of enjoyment,
all of your past sins get forgiven.
Yom Kippur, now that's a deal I could sink my teeth in.
One...

Sixty-Six
Sixty-Six Sixty-Six Ford Mustangs
Rusting on Sixty-Six acres
Of the Mustang Ranch since
Sixty-Six
Sixty-Six parking tickets
attached to Sixty-Six Sixty-Six
Ford Mustangs
Stuck on Sixty-Six acres
Of the Mustang Rance
Sixty-Six Ladies of the Night
Sixty-Six lacy hankies held
In Sixty-Six dainty hands,
Waving at Sixty-Six Deputy Sheriffs
Supervising Sixty-Six County
Tow-Trucks,
Oh those Sixty-Six Poor Unfortunate
Schmucks...
Gonna cost each...

Premium Member Things I Happen To Like
I like to watch skeins of geese flying in the autumn sky,
And I like the smell of frying bacon and luscious cherry pie!

I like to see the sun tinting Pikes Peak's crown in the early morn,
And the glorious Colorado sky as the sun ends its...

Pump Em Full of Roids

don’t give a *****about baseball,
don’t care about basketball,

& i wouldn’t watch the Tour de France if 
you paid me,
but i know one thing---
if i was one of these schmucks...

Werewolf

Getting through endeavors
Doing better
More focus on what is important instead of only pursuing pleasure

Even though ladies never give me the time of day
Like animals, I'm a stray
Just could not find my way
Deep down quite okay
I tell the truth, so it won't always be nice things...

Premium Member Look On the Bright Side
When the kids are complaining
'cause it won't stop raining,
To be stuck indoors just sucks.
Don't let them pout,
Instead point out,
It's lovely weather for ducks!

When you're feeling blue
'cause your bills are due,
And you've got more checks than bucks,
Don't take to drink,
Count to ten and think,
It's lovely weather...

Mt Everest
8/4/22


Too much crap coming with a high tax
Intentional not by chance
It's always been like that
Others talking behind backs
Especially after sipping out bottles from wine racks
It'll reach an end or climax
After a time lapse
Meanwhile it was in person or done behind glass
Having nothing or everything to...

Bewildering
Do you ever feel as if life is passing you by
You're drowning in a sea's whirlpool of flux
and there's no one around to hear you cry
Sometimes life sucks!   It really sucks

There are times when I feel like I don't belong
Annoyed by friends who...

The Agony and the Eggs I See
aint no big fan of eggs,
scrambled, well, okay
just like the yellow part,
that's all that I can say...

we go back many a year,
my egg friends and dear old me
there's reasons for my ambivalence,
as you will shortly see

one day, a young girl on a visit
to my very...

Back To Sipping
7/7/22

At first it's uplifting
Just want the best for family and friends while living
I'd be content to enjoy a meal with them for thanksgiving
Meanwhile time continues ticking
As there is a battle for control through laws and restricting
They attempt population control yet it's growing not thinning
Since the...

You Are It
“If someone tells you, you can’t do something.
You say: yes I can, I’m doing it right now.”

---- Dinner For Schmucks.


This is it;
the one secret that is right out in the open:-

You are perfectly in-tune;
you are playing your own life-music,
you’re both the instrument and all the...

Planet in pluvial fluvial flux
Planet in flux…it sucks

No refuge..Scrooge rules..

Stooges subterfuge deluge..

Fossil fuel fools..

Poleaxes..then relaxes…

As the earth burns..

As it turns..on its axis..

Puzzling...prattling clucks...

Aloof to proof....daft defiance..

Shucks the sleuth of science..

Glower at their ivory tower..

Absurd herd..cans compliance

Uncouth trampling truth..
