Best Totally Poems
"All alone! Whether you like it or not,
alone is something you'll be quite a lot!"
Quote from- Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You'll Go! And The Larax
________________________
Sometimes I am utterly, totally, entirely lonely,
There are days all I want to do is eat macaroni;
And on the carpet play roly-poly with my doggie,
Secluded and apart, toasty, cozy and all solitary.
Alone in myself, all alone wholly and sorrowfully,
Altogether silent, oh I enjoy the quiet completely;
Lonely can be good for writing a long, long story,
Or penning a sweet verse or rhyming a little poesy.
So when you feel lonely, just be still and write poetry,
And don't be sad, don't be afraid and don't be angry,
Just be lonely.

Tacos are a delight
I think I want one tonight
Something crunchy to eat
Nothing sugarly just hamburger meat
Not just one, I want a whole bunch
For breakfast, dinner, snack, and lunch
Lettuce, tomato and mexican cheese
Lets go get one now momma, pretty please

It's totally me to be so free
independence non-arrested and just to be
to wander without lust yet now to rust
yet my heels I'm sorry may leave you in the dust
whether doing nothing is all I can do
or speed of lighting race leaves all subdued
I'm consistent about being me weee... weeee. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-
Yet we're all the same, we're all just "We"
we can all stand together wherever we are
or we can break the Unity of our "lone star"
Independent, reserved, basically limited me
What to do? Just let me "be" with my poetic "glee"
And you can be you to live your day
Company really doesn't love misery everyday
brighten your heart once for a start
with the heedy words I hope to impart
Just be you and I'll just be me
Right? Write! Rite aid... I did spree!
Ha! Ha!
Tah! Tah!
I support you
Through the thick and thin of it all
I support you
When you're sick or when so blue
When money's tight and trouble falls
When I am totally appalled
I support you
This is a form called a Rondelet
I Was Totally Lost, Till Jesus Found Me!
I found myself lost and stumbling around.
Any true hope was nowhere to be found.
The satisfaction I was looking for wasn’t there.
I got to the point in life where I didn’t care!
There were dark things I was trying to hide.
But this body of mine was really aching inside!
The habits I had, were pulling
in a downward momentum.
The things I did… I don’t want to mention them!
I knew that my life was crashing down fast!
Any kind of pleasure I tried… It didn’t last!
What would I do? I began to ponder.
I was very confused and began to wonder…
Then one night, I cried out to Jesus’ name.
Things in my life would never be the same!
I asked God; “Will you take me?”
“I’ve nothing to give!”
I was discouraged and tired of the way I lived!
Just when all seemed hopeless with no way out…
God touched me with his love throughout!
As time went by, I learned to trust him!
He did so much for me! How much I loved him!
He took away the uncertainties, doubts and fear.
I now know he’s with me, and is always here!
I’ m not lost anymore! My path is brightened!
By God’s glory and beauty, my life is enlightened!
I thank you Jesus and give praise to you alone!
You’ve blessed my life, my heart and home!

There once was a lass from Toronto
Loved being ridden like a bucking bronco
Enjoyed a rough ride
“Ride 'em cowboy” she cried
Till her senses they became totally blotto

Thanking God, His most graciousness, I am all healed.
Totally at peace, my grateful body now feels.
Crushed knee, thigh broken in two pieces.
I howled uncontrollably,with no ceases.
Trauma center,six hour surgery.
Hospital, heaven on earth!
Food for royalty.
Kindness galore.
Perfection!
Tribute to UC Davis Trauma Center, Sacramento, California
Thank you, miracle workers!

Note to poets. Horrendous fall in November. Took 6 months to heal.
How great the ability to walk is! It feels akin to flying.
Thanks to all of you who wrote, read my poetry and supported me.
And a first class family, who stood by me, on this long road to
recovery.
All of you are angels!

Thank you, Lord, for not having the brains of fawn.
Like the Texas man, who broke into a home, to mow the lawn?

Have you ever personally wondered
If you're playing with a totally full deck?
It may be that you just think you're normal
And you really don't even suspect
You're certain it's got to be everyone else
That's just a little bit off centre
It can't be you, you're totally sane
In your mind that thought never entered
Well, here's a news flash, me buckeroo!
A wake up call I'm sending to you
Those images swirling around in your brain
They're not real, there's something askew!
Believe me, I used to be totally insane
Then got zapped between the eyes
By a bolt of lightning that cleared my sinuses
As well as all the sewers nearby!
You may not be operating on all eight cylinders
See a shrink before it's too late
He surely can prescribe some strong medication
So you won't go around half baked!
Have you ever personally wondered
If you're playing with a totally full deck?
Here's a wake up call, me buckeroo
Seems your train might have been in a wreck!

Time for some more sillies
“D'ya know what burns my ass?
A flame about THIS high!”
Heard it before?, I ask
Got about a million of 'em
Stay tuned, here's some I chose
“If a cow laughs really hard
Does milk come out it's nose”?
“Do vegetarians eat animal crackers”?
“Is it good if a vacuum sucks”?
Did I just hear you say groaners
That's why I'm paid the big bucks!
“Do bald men wash their heads
With bar soap or shampoo”?
Good question, never thought about it
Shinola is what they should use!
“Does a mailman deliver his own mail”?
Do we actually still have mailmen?
“Why say 'bye bye' but not 'hi hi”?
Never thought of it, dear friends
“If feathers tickle us human beans
Do feathers tickle birds”?
“Do deer only cross at those yellow signs”?
Now that is totally absurd!

The prettiest, piteous, pompous, chick,
A hideous, devious, worst than sick,
Weak but slick, sneakily obvious,
Suspicious yet ambitious, cautiously quick,
Treat yet trick, easily malicious,
Strain to obtain the mundane matter,
Faint from pain of abstaining chatter,
Blabber and flattered by factor inane,
Bloodstained arranged for the vainest ever,
Help her, pamper and slander in vain,
Dismal and fickle, her civil threshold,
A symbol, abysmal, a snivel she'll hold,
A goal for gold, a fold and dismissal,
So lethal, the pickle, a quibble is sold,
Was told in bold, but behold such evil,
Extraction then traction, conception proposed,
Compassion contraction, attraction imposed,
A ghost, foremost is posed as distraction,
Selection of actions, reaction composed,
A host at most while close to destruction.
Everything’s been frantic since the break.
What people don’t tell you about college,
is that you’re just tired ALL of the time.
I’m so tired, yawn ‘scuse me.
So if you’re planning to talk to me, bring coffee, make
some effort to be interesting - clap your hands or.. something.
Work piled up on me while I was sick (I missed two days!)
and it radiated across my.. everything, like nuclear waste.
In New Haven, you have the inalienable right to fall behind.
ok, let’s put it poetically..
The microorganism was as fast and brutal as a twister
and it spun, tricksily, out of a clear blue day
leaving me weak, in shock and totally focked.
I needed things that come after a natural disaster
- wailing sirens, to clear the way for organized relief
but no volunteers can help me pick-up the pieces.
I guess I needed another challenge this term.
Sure, my roommates check in, but they have their own traumas
and they’re like those slow, drive-by accident-tourists that gawk.
Too bad there’s no such thing as missed class/assignment insurance.
There’s a saying (cleaned up), here at Yale, that goes:
It’ll get done because it HAS to get done.

There are several songs for this piece:
‘We're All Alone’ by Kennedy Ryon
‘Totally Wired’ by The Fall
or ‘Baxter (These Are My Friends)’ by Fred again.. & Baxter Dury
Two days: 4 lectures, 3 labs, 600 pages of reading. Things roll baby - they certainly don’t stop for mE.
Webster: Inalienable: impossible to take away or give up
I was in my sins being seemingly without hope and saving
But God the Father granted me His son Jesus endless mercies grace
Now I am clean completely copiously more or less
quite perfectly wholly repented, renewed heavenly bless
utterly fully all halleluiah
entirely thoroughly absolutely
O’ My father found me
Now I am gladly Oh so madly, now I am
Perfectly Totally found
exactly
altogether all over heartily
at length in whole substantially
through and through generally
Out of the blue
Skies shining brilliants hues
predominantly greatly unqualifiedly
O’ My father found me
Now I am gladly Oh so madly, now I am
Perfectly Totally found
downright to the max
categorically to the hilt
down to the ground down the line
infinite, limitless, boundless tilt
O’ My father found me
Now I am gladly Oh so madly, now I am
Perfectly Totally found
primarily principally extensive innumerable
generously abundantly predominately halleluiah
overall hands down by and large vast unlimited
immeasurable illimitable measureless fathomless
unmeasured inestimable incomputable
O’ My father found me
Now I am gladly Oh so madly, now I am
Perfectly Totally found
unbounded unfathomable
immense inexhaustible bottomless indefinite
abysmal incalculable
immensurable exhaustless halleluiah
O’ My father found me
Now I am gladly Oh so madly, now I am
Father, Father I thank you Lord God I am Perfectly Totally found
