A,B,C's of Alliteration
Almost always, as additional allurements arrive, ask as a Being...
 By better borne behests become best Causes ?
  Can causes create concise concepts Diligently ?
   Do doers do decidedly dumb doldrums Ever ?
    Each eek echoes egotistical efforts enduring...

Premium Member I Was Born At a Very Early Age - Part 2
That's my dad for you... getting his hands deep into the knitty-gritty, when most others would just back off a safe distance away saying, "No thanks! Maybe when Armageddon comes a'knocking we can talk religion, but right now I'm in the middle of favorite show...

Premium Member The Barbershop Quartet
THE BARBERSHOP QUARTET

The barbershop quartet, mustache brushes in hand.
A Capella joviality, with torquing wrists, snapping fingers.
Bristles foaming, silky white and smooth, voices grand.

Dapper in their pinstripe suits, hats — Delmonico brand.
Sweet Adeline, drawn out.  My Adeline — peaks, lingers.
The barbershop quartet, mustache brushes in...

The Drunken Pen
The drunken pen dips and swerves around curves on paper. Paper for the purpose of writing things—thoughts a pen brings. My cursive swings, wild and loopy. Oops! Too loopy. Took that curve too fast, ran plumb off the paper. And even worse, it spilled the...

Predilections of the Phallic Beast
Adulterous besieging capstone damnation
exploitation foists groping, heaving
insidiously jerking
knowingly lunges
machinations notoriously nymphomaniacal 
officiating penile quests
rapaciously, sadistically 
tenaciously, unstoppably 
vasocongested wickedness 
Xerses yawped zeolously.
*************************** 
All throughout history of  man/woman kind
ascendent civilizations extensively gouged, 
impailed, kindled, murderous outrages 
quashing sacred urges, women yearned.
***************************
Versatile thematic refrain punctuating nubiles...

Premium Member Laughter
Laughter's healthy, contagious, and brightens your day.
It's pun that's a groaner or joke that's risque.
It's a belly laugh, horse laugh, or laugh like a loon
At a comic strip. slapstick or clown or cartoon.

Laughter's chuckles and chortles, a snicker or snort.
It's a humorist's quip or a...

When Comedians Marry
When Comedians Marry

Comics juggle three rings when they wed
On trampoline bed they start a circus 
Keep gold bands on hand while thinking zany thoughts  
The comic husband wears two condoms all the time
To find the little things in life that matter
The rubbers glow in...

Riddle Me a Riddle
ottava rima

A rambling riddle; hope you'll play along...
Fingers when I have played too much cello. 
Head, neck and shoulders baked in sun too long; 
Zingers by Hostess and cherry jello. 
Used with blue and white, patriotic song; 
singers’ roses but not Texas yellow. 
Hot pink...

Peppy Panorama
PEPPY PANORAMA

Doe eyed dusky beauty
Silky tress and milky dress 
Exuding scent so fruity

She gazed at glorious tulips
Lovely hue, purplish blue
Kiss Planted with tender lips

She sat beside the limpid lake
Crystal clear, smiled with cheer
With her reflection she spake

She fondled a furry bunny
Fed it carrot tops and...

Unbeknownst to this unsuspecting witty mortal,

who resides within Bhutan, his dignified volition
accorded me magnanimity titled sage without any

influential collusion from Russians bestowed yours

Premium Member Battle of the Muses
Verses flow from my brain like sudden zingers 
While “Inventions” by Bach flow through my fingers 
Sometimes one Muse will trample the Muse of the other 
Sometimes, I go for a walk before I succumb to the smother.

Vacation
Vacation comes but once per year
A real treat for my family and me
Condos and water parks fit just fine
American past times revisit again
The Myrtle Beach sky coaster is calling
Intentionally beckoning me to visit this year
Other days the zip line would be my great thrill
No more...
