Best Spangly Poems


Premium Member Famous Quotes of Abraham Lincoln

“No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar”
There are too many hypocrites caught with their pants on fire
There is one Honest Abe fan whose words are now gone
“When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on”

“You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry”
His true colors will always show no matter how spangly
One’s temper can surely put you in an awful fix
Silence can be golden when your opinions don’t mix

“I would rather be a little nobody
then to be an evil somebody”
Never stand on stage to boast or brag
Hold on to your humility, don’t point fingers and nag

Organized religion, I no longer belong
I don’t need a fancy building and membership to keep my faith strong
God knows where my heart is simply by our pidgin
“When I do good I feel good When I do bad I feel bad that’s my religion”

Premium Member Purging the Extra Stuff

When I am honest with my belongings 
I am amazed to find that I have surrounded myself
With things that I thought I could not live without
Once upon a time…..

But once upon a time is long gone, and these things
no longer give me joy, or make me happy in any kind of
weird way.

That sparkly spangly pillow I did not think I could live 
without two months ago Is uncomfortably hard, and
scrapes my fingers in an unkind way when I accidentally
brush up against it. But here it sits because I did pay
Twenty-three dollars for it, right?
Wrong!

It is going, and so are thousands of other items that
no longer give me joy.  I am loading up the truck with
buckets and boxes of insane things when my husband
starts to stroll around the corner. Whisk! He is now
hiding behind the edge of the porch.

He has seen me in this mood many times, and he 
always comments that he is surprised I have not
yet hauled him off. I glare at him. Wishing he would
get just a little closer for I am in that mood.

Beautiful Irony

Women of society dressed in silk
Thin pink spangly dresses that shine
Viciously blown away by the wind:
At all not but all never afraid
Ever to expose naked bodies
Swathed in extreme beauty.


Tis the elegance of our society
The ambivalence of our dexterity
The vicious tenacity of their temerity
The very ambivalence of this beauty
The hidden nature in it of this beauty
The hidden nature in it of this levity
Is a promiscuous social beauty.

We quarreled to bitter, burning degrees 
(you)loving me 
as a tender trespasser 
     a chew toy 
     boy 
demanding compliance 
forced feedings 
down
to sock selection 
(your)conspicuous usage of chlorine 
blistering eyes 
a woman my mother may have idolized 
(your)disciplined hemlines 
entirely circumspect 
	subtracting the abusements 
	how (your)words struck, in the rage of an enemy fire 
	and less, the undisturbed lust after hog's feet
I was heading for America 
	a better sow to plow 
        with spangly blue eyes
        and ruddy virtue brimming inside her countenance
out of the despicable cold,
The harpy's fury 
	(you)poked at my shortness
	magnified my retardations
I was a crouching slug in (your)supercilious shadows
Understanding I couldn't swim
as all the world knows   
any banal fact 
     for example, water is wet 
and a million times (your)augur's ball
pronounced death by sea 
     little legs shall not be inclined to desert the scalding Egyptian sands
was it (your)psychosis or mine ... doubts dressed as destiny?
I missed the exodus of the unsinkable ship.
The Titanic horn tolled whilst she distanced,
the mocking tintinnabulation 
of elegiac bells.

Premium Member Dilbert Digglewink Dapper Frog

Dilbert Digglewink, dangly spangly gentleman frog
Was heartily hopping all around the St Louis bog
Thinking he was all this and that, in his outfit dapper.
His toes and feet flopping around like an incensed flapper.

I watched him high and I watched him low.
He moved quickly and agile, he was never slow.
The lady frogs came and batted their eyes.
One with long lashes promised him a big surprise.

He left with one, and came back with two.
Dressed to the nines, he did a fine soft shoe.
Dilbert Digglewink, the most exciting bachelor around
Is doing a dance and a song; the big run-around!

Bazball or Bazbat goes soft and flat

Alright have to admit that whole drole Bazball or Baz Bat cool cat vibe…rabbit out of hat tribe.. is taking its toll..sunk in a hole..losing it’s goal and soul..not being a vitriol troll..maybe need to mull over a cull of this rigmarole..

Can’t pretend..is the end of this spangly jangly new fangled trend…nothing off the shelf…just express yourself…won’t spank you..will almost thank you.. if you tank…bonkers fools rules you can’t bend…must always go stonkers.. all cool no old school…when you shan't defend and depend on a blend of soft conkers and tracks to conquer..

Let’s explain there are many ways to play and entertain…the lotto of the Baz grotto..no dull lulls …no more bore score draws…one motto…just high octane insane where seemingly the sole means to control is a flat track that blunts and shunts how every attack does bowl..

I know..have already banged on..had a go at the pitches…feather beds so flat you can bat gung ho heave ho from the get go.. no wear and tear..glitches or hitches.. despair to stop the flair.. no real movement in the air or off the square..the Bazball pest…Bazbat conquest..effectively saying no we won’t be surfing the crest of a true test contest of willow and leather..hey ho nonny no…to the real deal Test fest..tally ho..

No pretension..apprehension of the lacking dimensions and few mentions of the best Test tensions..

Also must rebuke how they have turned the duke ball from a serious nuke which would spook.. enthrall..now reliant on a cherry that gets so soft you need a fluke ..well Dukes will be compliant as England’s their biggest client…we saw our copper haired laird no longer..stronger defiant..again came a cropper..and this was hardly a proper whopper green topper..

It seems kitsch Bazball rule needily greedily avoids any glitches or hitches in batter’s riches which in turn.. does spurn and bewitches merchants of seams and stitches..

Well it can be dicey to make your tracks at home too spicy..get in a lather…at the palaver as runs become rather pricey..when you could goad..milk that ilk as you explode on a silk road..

Our selector trifecta…the three wise men..Baz..Bob and Ben.. know if there is no speedster thuggery… no Geoffrey jaffas…bunsen spin skulduggery..they will be the gaffers with some Bazball muggery..
