Premium Member Ode To the Scotch Broom
The hillsides are covered
with miles of Scotch Broom.
Pretty to see
but an allergy doom.

This transplanted weed
should not be here.
It causes allergy symptoms
most of which are severe.

Some one once decided
Broom belonged in the garden.
That person's now reviled
and should be begging our pardon.

Early Spring the citizens
with their spades...

(Hop-Scotch)


Clouds are nice and take many shapes
If you don't believe take a look
They travel fast and can reshape
Clouds I see like a picture book
Sometimes see angels or an ape
Observe in sky they can't escape
They're great to watch from site or nook

Clouds fantastic God's  creation

Scotch and Soda
From behind the bar I recall what led me here.
Not to see people fight over spots on a board.
But to bring them togather as friends.
Not drive them apart as enimies.

To see the glass stay full.
And the spirts to bring cheer.
Jokes hold truth.
As the jester I...

Short Snort of Scotch
Short Snort of Scotch

We will be going on trip week from tomorrow
And a bright idea I recently tried to borrow
Must be careful making sure I don't botch
By forgetting to bring along a bottle of Scotch.

Finally the ship so sleekly away had sailed
Everyone had to pass...

Watch Scotch Who Would Botch
after drinking scotch
what we did do was to watch
plan they had would botch

up efforts will boost
while we watched a chicken roost
that they always must

we would like to wish
always again and again
free us from our sin

fight with an ally
worst was fighting without them
would prefer the first

wonder...

Premium Member They'll be no hop scotch
They'll be no hop scotch with a broken crotch.
No gyrating like Elvis with a fractured pelvis..
Don't plan on doing the hoot Chie cootch.
Better settle for a smooch.
No leisurely long car rides, not until the pain subsides..
If you are planning to stand, better keep pains meds....

Premium Member Scotch
How many brands of scotch whiskey do you know?
It seems its popularity continues to grow.
Scotch has garnered worldwide support.
It has become a big British export.
Distilled from fermented barley malt,
this is something connoisseurs exalt.
Scotch has a unique smoky flavor.
This quality makes it a beverage to savor.
Scotch...

My Glass of Scotch
You just sit there without saying anything, with that amaizing body. Im attracted without you even having to say a word. Your body language is calling, pulling me close. So I get close. I get a taste, then suddenly I want you more. When i'm...

Bonnie Scotch Ladies
Oh !
The swirl o the kilt !

The Maid
There was an old maid of Pitlochary whose morals were truly a mockery
For under her bed she'd a fellow instead of the usual porcelain crockery !

to the haunt o the pipe !

Each time Lady Sutherland swooned

A Quart of Scotch With Chinese Food
somehow having a child

in a city kept you desperate,

made you accept drinking

as a way of life.


the chain smoking

the waitress job

that gin mill

the office job.



belonging is another

form of punishment.


beaten by men

              by odds,

Hopscotch With Some Scotch
"HOPSCOTCH WITH SOME SCOTCH"


there are times 
when I wonder about 
everything that has 
happened, everything that has 
put me inside 
my current location in 
life. when they 
gave me air only 
to drown me, 
when the claws ripped 
my life apart, 
when the dirt was...

A Glass of Scotch
She poured another glass of scotch
And gulped it down in one;
She knew the answer wasn’t booze -
But dying wasn’t fun.

For Paula’s sip contest...

Watch Them Drinking Scotch
what we all would watch 
him drinking bottle of Scotch
for each drink carved notch

became rescission 
when we made a decision 
to watch television

grass seeds we had thrown
causing the grass to be grown
grew around each stone

the affair did stun
and life had been over and done
was shot...

Scotch Off Guard
empty stomach
eyes bagged from lunch
lingering taste 
of the hangover hunch
cotton chew 
of minced inner cheek
dead cigarette cloak
stains of the meek

dreams of a bedside fountain
flow through
the dry mouth dream
hopes for buildup to swallow
to flush the liquid unclean

ache of head
drool glued to the bed
a familiar vortex
spins out...
