Premium Member Ballad for the Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube-Man
air rockets skyward
uppercutting inside
plastic neon flesh
contorting at inhuman angles
what does my body language spell?

ankles anchored into the Earth
to stay grounded as the wave
of time and space crashes
a flood of stagnant flux

there is a symphony of bones
snapping and cracking
in twisted orchestrations
the act of existing for me
is...

Boob Tube
watching the boob tube
not a waste of time
PBS is good
got me through grade school
use to watch Hunter
Virginia
on Friday nights
the step daughters
loved their Baywatch
eighty-six
world series
eyes were glued
Red Sox
they lost
shucks...

Jimmy the Tube
JIMMY THE TUBE

Here's the story of Jimmy the Tube
who greased his mind with stupid lube.
He watched TV day and night
end result he wasn't bright.

While watching ball one afternoon
in through the door walk three big goons,
New World Order nazi guys
looking for some exercise.

They took their sticks...

LONDON TUBE EXPLOSION 2017

Another explosion in London today
When will they learn to go away?
General public hurt yet again 
These terrorists are a real big pain

Setting off a device in a public place
You’re no member of the human race
Hurting people doing their daily chores
You certainly won’t...

Tube Ambition

I wanna be one under,

From being on this planet.

Premium Member You Can Put Anything On U-Tube
They are speaking about their U-Tube channels.
One says he makes about fifty bucks a month with his.
I am amazed, not seeing him as a singer, dancer, or entertainer.
What do you put on your channel? I ask him.

All of these fifth grade boys begin shaking their...

Boob's Tube
My TV quit today
God saw fit to take it away


Big ol ice storm came along
Knocked that boob tube
Off his throne.

Cable company doesn't care
They think I can just sit and stare
At a blank screen with no sound.

People I'm not kidd'n round
My way of life has run...

No You Tube Film
The singer’s throat is very sore,
In fact, she’s rather hoarse,
And now there’s been a power cut -
No ‘You Tube’ film, of course…

for PD’s contest...

Lonely Clone In a Test Tube
Toxic  bones from the Jurassic
Walking amongst the masses
Current classes of classic
Acidic in shattered glasses 

Sliding into yesterday
Their dancing shoes soulless
Catching on the high fever
Intoxicated on their madness

My clone is sitting alone
I watch him like my own reflection
How his problems he also likes to postpone
He...

Premium Member You Tube Kazoo
Elmer Fudd learned how to play the kazoo
He felt he needed to do something new
   First he would inhale
   Then he would turn pale
Oops! His kazoo was a You Tube taboo...

Flash Flood Warning
aka
Terry's Rush Hour Tube Trauma

A voice rose from a burning bush,
"O feel the contours of my tush!
Ounce for ounce
Cheeks will bounce
With just an itty-bitty push!"...

Premium Member The Victoria Line
hanging straps and travel apps.
beeping doors and littered floors.
rocking cars and metal bars.
rattling track and aching back.
ticket fare and lack of air.
bags on lap and 'mind the gap'.
heavy heat now WARREN STREET:


Way Out. 
Places.
Platform spaces.
Cell Phones. Faces. 
Adverts every too few paces.

Noone cares. 
Moving stairs....
