Best Set The Record Straight Poems

The reason why I gamble,
I ought to tell the truth.
Those squalid tales I spun before…
Well, don’t go seeking proof.

The one about the heart op
And my desperate plight for cash -
A pack of lies, I’m fit and well
(Except a little rash).

And then there was the other...

It’s Not About You

I got something to say to you
And I hope you Understand
I hope to get the message through
To interrupt your plan
You walk around with your nose
In the air looking down on me
You walk around conceited
Thinking you is better than me

Your hopes and your...

Waste not want not.

 Oh the rabbit went and died. 
You should have seen us all. 
The news was  like a car, 
smashed into a wall! 

The feeling it was shock, 
i felt like i would cry. 
How could it be so, 
that Thumper...

Puzzled are the recipients of a fruit cake from Santa Claus this year!

I hear the train coming
An I'm chasing the train humming
I see the smoke puffing
I see the light in the dungeon
I see fight Tussling
I see might Hustling
I see fright rumbling
I'm on the railroad
Following the trail to gold
I...

WHAT’S IN A NAME

My Name? 
I'll set the record straight, right now for what it's worth
Wordancer was not the name my mother gave me at my birth.
My avatar can be Emu, Fairy, Frog, or a dinner suited Wagtail 
Like the one who tattles to the...

One day this old earth shall pass,
When the cosmic gods unleash their last damning curse.
Everything will be digested, into the bellies of a billion skies,
The black smoke will paint hands, waving a billion goodbyes.
It will be the end of all roads:
The day the sun explodes.

There...

I heard the tale of Humpty Dumpty who sat on a wall,
and how he managed  to have a terrible and fatal fall.

But let me be the first to set the record straight,
everything that happened that day was not fate.

Humpty was a rising  and...

sweet decadent belly
how ever will you forgive me
i didn’t know
couldn’t know 
how to love you

i didn’t see that you were more than a belly
you were an entire person
an easy breezy lover girl committed to the pursuit of all things joyful

i used to joke that you...

Lonely & hurt 
Broken I remain
Can't shake the guilt
Living in shame
Put on fake smile
I slowly fade away
The nightmare of your death 
We live with every day
The meaning of it all this
to which my mind attends
Has not one answer
that I can fully comprehend
WHY why did this...

Humpty Dumpty had no yolk
As oft implied to younger folk.
This hatched idea in oviform
Should never have become the norm.
And so, before it is too late
I mean to set the record straight.

For Humpty was a tortoise bold
With hankerings to break the mould.
‘Why should it be?’ he’d...

"He was a brave, resourceful and honest boy. He would have been a successful man under 
other circumstances. I loved the youngster in the old days and can say now after the passing 
fifty years that I still love his memory. He has gained an...

If I were an elephant:

I would set the record straight 
And squash that big fat lie. I'm 
not scared of an little ole mouse.
It's fleas that scare the HELL of me!

 As My Life Goes On

The past is gaining on me 
There's nowhere else to go
I'm tired of running
Ready or not it's time to face my foes

The ghosts the demons the skeletons the scheming
The lies the deceit
I was young and dumb I kept it all...

Have gone so far
To be left behind
No longer longing for a reward
To set the record straight
I know I lived every day
But these thoughts are rearranged
Can’t remember and I forgot
What I was after in the first place
What I sought now I’m after
Is for someone to fill...
