Beware Poems

Beware of Mama Bear

My Mama told me, "Don't get Lippy!"

"Better back up, and I mean Skippy!"

Scrunched up eyes, bloodshot Red,

Punched two teeth, from my Head!

I joined a Cult, became a Hippy!

Beware The Gate Ahead

“Hey, look there Jim” the young girl said
“What is this old gate up ahead?
Now do you think we should go through.
I’m really game if you will too.”

We’ll have to clear these sticks away
and find the latch - what’s that you say?
You don’t think we should touch the gate?
What lies beyond might not be great?

Oh, come

Beware of a Witchs Razorbacks

Hodgepodge of high-brow, hoity-toity happy hogs
Happened upon a wagonload of St Bernard dogs
In a hocus-pocus way they turned them into logs
You do not fool with a witch’s razorbacks in these bogs.

Look again, beware

Look again, my dear
things are not as they appear
while words deceive
they slither and they weave
your eyes can also lie
lead you astray with just a sigh

Look deep beyond the surface, dear
and trust not everything you hear

Beware the Ol' Schnozz

Beware if you find yourself in a dark dank place
You may become the prey of Old Schnozz Face
Don't bother spraying him with a can of mace
He's a Vampiric creature of the Mosquito race

I detest the sound of his buzz buzzing in my ear
When in bed, that irksome droning sound I hear
That long needle nose is

beware of his tail

beware of the painted salamander
he can squirt you with toxic liquid
flee if he raises his tail

farage has snitched'

I suppise its been coming, yet its a sad day to see, Rupert
Lowe, has been shopped; on some discrepacy? I have no more
To put here.' I shall wait as must all..Yet a black flag it is
Apparant is now farages livery.' Let This be a lesson on
Not how to fall.'

Beware the Ides of March

The virtues, sacrificed
  By muscling vices,
Lay dying 
Across the dusty crusts of Earth.

The sky, once admirably azure, 
Now bleeds dark streams of gray 
Above the sight of flying vultures
Flapping, circling in wait.

buyer beware

the land of the free
a million dollar slogan~
false advertising

beware of biblioklepts

Libraries put biblioklepts on wanted posters
In workrooms next to aluminum coffee pots and toasters
So, the librarians will not check these felons out
Because they steal books and tapes without a doubt

Beware of Wisdom

In case you’re an artist, beware of wisdom
Experience brings reassurance 
That you have developed yourself into system
Through years of work and endurance
But don’t fool yourself with a pretty deceit
You can’t do it right, though you try
Experience tells you to do what you did
But anyway, it’s a far cry
From works of the past, that achieved a

THE VENOM BENEATH THE KISS

Never be swayed by a woman in need,
For "billing" is her constant creed.
"I'm hungry," "my gas is dry,"
Her words, a drain, a constant sigh.

Rescue not a woman from poverty's grasp,
For she'll seek escape, and leave at last.
Her heart, a calculator, cold and grey,
Values measured in economic way.

Survival tops feelings in her book,
A lady's love, a

Driver's Beware

If you're operating a motor vehicle look for signs 
Especially, if you don't want to pay ticket fines 
Don't drive all that fast or all that slow 
Especially, if you want to get to where you want to go
Because accidents happen when you drive too fast or try to pass 
And by driving too slowly

beware of scorpions

beware of arachnids of the worst type
I speak of scorpions, this is no hype
they have a serious sting and venom too
found in deserts and grasslands, they make you blue

a cousin of spiders, ticks, and the tiny mite
this mini lobster’s tricks are worse than dynamite
beware my child of this dangerous predator so fine
His whip tail will

Beware, Moon too fragile is

If COVID lockdowns can turn the Moon cold,
Colonizing it oh, what not would hold.
Having ruined Mother Earth,
Should man make Moon his hearth?
The satellite’s far too fragile a mould.
