Best Snots Poems

As the clock ticks on,
the soul
encounters 
tiny fractures of death

hairline cracks
seemingly invisible, superficial
yet they run deep

just an average typical morning within this same old town
avoiding all the neighbors that nosily creep these grounds
while all these other folks keep busy bodying gossiping and all
who has whiter teeth, bigger boobs, or the cutest guy at the mall
i stopped at the library to...

Red one
Blue one
Old on
New one
Ah heck
Side effects
I think I am 
Due one

They’ll flatten
Or fatten
Always been
In Latin
Or tongue twistish
Latinglish
To patent
A statin

But I’ve had my fill
And summoned the will
To say bye to the ill
Coz I’m over the pill

There were lots
Of drug shots
That I got
For clots
And sun spots
To...

I've written about chickens with big fat legs
Told of eating my way through the fridge
My psychiatrist says I'm really quite normal
Though I feel unbalanced, a smidge

I've heard of a place, can't remember where
They can treat an affliction like mine
Problem is though, it means a lobotomy
Sends...

Last night dinner
with four couples
points out the difficulties in living together
and apart. 
                Even the
son of a wealthy doctor, disdainful of
inebriates more artificial than the moon,
full, full of joy for...

Morning Sounds
by M. Griswold
06212000

I awake in the morning to all kinds of sounds.
First of which is me, snoring profound.
Next usually comes a burp and a fart ,
but generally speaking, I can't tell them apart.

Then comes the alarm clock ringing at me,
causing screams of confusion momentarily.
Banging...

Mating Calls, or, Purdy Please!
Limericks by Michael R. Burch

1.
Nine-thirty? Feeling flirty (and, indeed, a trifle dirty),
I decided to ring prudish Eleanor Purdy ...
When I rang her to bang her,
it seems my words stang her!
She hung up the phone, so I banged off, alone.

2.
Still dreaming to...

Elves and imps are surrounding the earthy cottage now.
She is made of mushrooms, moss, and spiders that bow.
Who made this creation? Who is the designer? She is a wow!
One of the imps stepped on a sharp twig and yelled “ow! ow! ow!”

Don’t be a baby...

Delete Fear and Dance
                 (Ode to Joy)



Many fear-mongers met at Marseilles!
To make sure all nations shook in dismay.
They used Covid for their piece de resistance display.
Schools, shops, towns all...

"Knock It"

What I smoke is frosted
Money and time it costed
Has yet to turn out how I've wanted
Remaining undaunted
Going in and out of areas that are haunted
People continually taunted
So worried about what the cat brought in

Doggone it
Occurring far or near life that is aquatic
Constant not just...

Empty porridge bowl
Birthright sold, no blessing left
Tears and flying snots...

I don’t do all I am told, questions I always ask.
If I do, my friends take me to task.
Not me, I, in independence, do bask!

I do mean those in your face with a bang!
These are the "must-do" gang.
Out to shame and scare women with constant...

A banjo picker elite I once used to be, 
Now my nose is the favorite choice of me
Don't always enjoy
The pickin' finger it soils
Let alone getting snots on my manly goatee...

When I was a child we had comics that featured Little Dot
She was full of good intentions, and had a smile well taught
Her room, bicycle, pets, and curtains were all polka dots.
She has way too many circles, said some surly unknown snots.

But the rest of...

The first smell of rain hitting city walls
Before slipping down into guttery streams
Heavy drops splattering layers of ashes and dirt
Causing clouds to clot in noses of newly wet children
Wet soot snots that run so black  memories keep coming back
Like scabs on bare and dirty...
