Best Slow As Molasses Poems


Premium Member The Words That Flow Through My Pen
Sometimes, life has no reason unlike the seasons
It aimlessly drifts with the wind
We find ourselves in places of unfamiliar faces
Bathing in the shadows of sin
Our souls become lost up in the holocaust
That once was a beautiful life
Like a ship drifting upon the tide we bang...

The Old Fart Song
THE OLD FART SONG
(sing to the tune of "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys")

Verse one:

Old men ain't easy to love and they're harder to mold,
so train 'em when young, girls, don't wait till their bones have turned cold.
They're slow as molasses,...

Premium Member Her Tears
The look of diamonds. 
Were caught by the candlelight.

Dove-colored clouds passed overhead. 
As a summer storm came riding in.

On a cold wind ~ soft rolling seas.
Colors from the sun had all but disappeared.

Into the night of glistening starlight.
Summer days were drifting on by.

As slow as...

Be a Better Putter
Be A Better Putter

Was with naughty iron that is a nine,
Which some say has become benign,
That balls seemed slow as molasses;
Did need to take a few more classes.

From whole golf course would be cut;
Had played never learning how to putt,
Should see each scratchy terrible scar,
That...

Golf Putter That Did Sputter
Golf Putter That Did Sputter 

Have naughty eight iron and a nine
That are starting to become benign;
My small balls were slow as molasses;
Did decide to take a couple of classes.

From whole, entire course soon got cut
Because I never learned how to putt,
And should have seen...

After Midnight Musings - impromptu 

cleverly staged
the way you are
slinking in your
trinket-ed skin
oozing pure milk
and manuka honey.

cleverly staged
the way you are
slow as molasses
a flaming lick of
hot lava, the
epitome of life's
thirst-
life's thirst for
a mere droplet
to be overcome
by your 
charming ways

the way you are
cleverly staged....

Superman's Other Achilles' Heel
Superman’s Other Achilles’ Heel

By Elton Camp

Truth, justice and the American way
Superman pursued every single day

Bullets bounced right off his chest
Everything that he did was the best

A locomotive was weaker than he
Steel he bent with hands, you see

Able to leap tall buildings at a bound
He was...

Time (A Riddle)
You can’t make more, 
But you sure can waste it.
Sometimes you want it 
So much you can taste it.
It is fleeting thing, 
Or it as slow as molasses.
You can run after it, 
But you can never catch it.
You can watch it,
But never really see it.
The...

Do need to take many more classes.

TIME
TIME


Precise and constant it marches on.
It waits for no one, yet will stop to heal a broken heart.
Measured in thousandths of a second by swimmers
And in millenniums by the Creator of All Time.
They say it’s money—but it doesn’t make sense
That last weekend can seem so...

Premium Member What Should I Do
Not that folks out there are keeping score--
But I envision myself as something... more

However, the main obstacle getting in my way
Is predicting what could go wrong every day

Particularly because I tend to be strait-laced
No place around here is hiring me with haste

I didn't succeed in...

Teddy Bear
You are sweeter than honey
As fluffy as cotton
But, can be slow as molasses
Love like diamonds
Touch as delicate as a flower
Mind so inspiring
Talks with the quickness
Anger like the steam of an engine
Hugs so warm to the touch
Kisses as sweet as sugar
Compliments so smooth
Opinionated, yes you are

cleaning windows helps me to see
'course at present I too, need glasses
not just through, clearly, but metaphorically
yet without caffine I'm slow as molasses

but still I can get some insight outside
window's panes shine with spiritual gains
able to separate my own Jekyll and Hyde
both the Doctor and...

Premium Member Let's Leave Granny Home
She's slow as molasses,
And really a pain.
Let her stay home forever!
We have nothing to gain.

Taking a walker down the 
stairs?
Is really something, we just
can no longer bear!

Worse is her hearing, deaf 
as a door nail!
She won't be able to even 
read the menu.

She can watch...
