Best Screw Loose Poems

She’s not right.
She has something wrong with her.
She has a screw loose.
She’s got problems.

What is wrong with him?
How do we fix that?
I am no doctor but….

Having several issues myself, I am
Hypersensitive to these kinds of 
Statements.

Yet I hear them all the time.
Yesterday a substitute teacher...

We got really dumped on yesterday

Was hoping we would miss out on this one

But must remember, this is Canada!

The land of ice and snow and parkas and snow shoes

At least that's the general perception

We have electricity and runny water and even indoor toilets

And not only...

Why why why revile ya,
why why why revile ya,
the stinking rich want you for their *****,
at $4 dollars an hour,
and no more!

Aussie ships on the ocean are clueless,

 Replaced by twerps $4 an hour serfs,
the sour smell of...

GETTING  TOO  OLD



Her story told by old charts, scattered, water-drenched. 
Portholes all broken, shaft and screw missing :  a  wreck ,
Grounded  on concrete platform  like an old man sitting on bench, 
Battered  funnel,  broken hawsers, holes in...

The White Knight
Intrepid and sly.
Has a screw loose. 
Aptly,
Rattling, obsessively.
Somewhere,
In his shattered avatar.
He believes that he is a god. 
A god of women.

Of needy goddesses who are full of holes, 
  curves, dips and lips. 
To fill. 
With white. 
Of course.
Beautiful promises and lies,...

WRECKS


Battered  funnel,  broken hawsers, holes in deck,
Grounded  on concrete platform  like an old man sitting on bench, 
Portholes all broken, shaft and screw missing :  a  wreck ,
Her story told by old charts, scattered, water-drenched. 


Battered hat, torn trousers,...

Anxious in Ancona (2)

The Doge has apportioned a fleet for his use,
but is proving an Indian giver.
A pope with a navy (and with a screw loose)
is no-one’s idea of chopped liver,
so Venice, delaying and playing obtuse,
is selling the pope down the river.

A Christian army, devoted...

You sat and looked at me as if,
I had lost my mind.
You told me I was crazy,
That I was unrefined.
The kind of life I offered
That you could not accept.
I think there’s just a few lines
That I may have overstepped.

You said I had a screw loose
That...

*** Directions to Our House ***


To find our house, you first go
Carefully down the towering show
Of those puffed cloud stairs
Touched by golden sun-glows.
Proceed to pass the nearby hilltop’s forested grove,
Where you might glimpse the hidden homes
Of some remaining urban fox and deer.
Then, turn left and...

That jalopy is still puttin' along
Slow start on cold mornings
Loud stinky foul exhaust
And the finish is quite weathered

His seat is lumpy
He uses a lot of fuel
Not as fast anymore
And has a screw loose somewhere

But she tells her girlfriends
She still loves her husband
After forty two years
Even...

Neuropathy in my hands.
A panoply is the rest.
A screw loose in my head.
With itis through my back.
It's what old sawbones said.
But he saved the best for last.
Seems I have two more days
Please pass the ham and mayonnaise...

Prime Minister has a screw loose
Or does he want a Christmas goose?
A pandemic heaven
Is 24/7
And not one has declared a truce!...

Hundred million K' away neighbour, Mars
