Speak the truth, the only answer to

The Last Blunder

The walls are imprisoned in silence,
A heavy, powerless silence, shattered
By voices, tears, and crowded souls.
Justice hides in the corridors of greed,
Crimes are sentences uttered in the halls,
The innocent are moving targets,
An age-old burden on the backs of those who did nothing.
Must we remain silent to breathe under this weight?
Must we bend so we are granted

Premium MemberSt Patrick’s Day Blunder

Aunt Bertha’s been drinking with Mable
Ten Guinness cans litter their table
They’re ‘nissed as a pewt’
This fact they dispute
But cannot stand up, they’re unable!

Old Mable can’t rise from her seat
She’s cussing (words I daren’t repeat)
Then she yells, “Get help quick
Cos I’m feeling quite sick"
Which angers the barman named Pete!

Two students help Mable to stand
She blurts, “Getting

A blooper, a blunder, a bungle, a botch
A miscue, a misstep, misjudgment and more
A faux pas, a boo-boo, a bumble for sure
A miscalculation, a miscomputation, grade goes down a notch.

Beauty of Blunder

Just how glass cracks
after a lapse,
one should make a gaffe
to smash the mirror of arrogance.

My husband had purchased fresh flowers
They sweltered in his car for eight hours
Twelve roses of red
Were nearly all dead
His Valentine’s Day gaffe truly sours

Premium MemberMy Wedding Day Blunder

On the first floor of a hotel in Cape Cod
A larger than average lady got on the elevator

She pressed floor number two
Immediately I blurted out “Number two???”
“You could have walked”

Her immediate response was
“What??? And lose a pound!”

My new wife first cringed
then breathed a big sigh of relief

Sometimes I blurt out stuff without thinking
VERY DANGEROUS!!!

Premium MemberPutin's Great Blunder

Putin said he wouldn't invade, but then he's known for his lies
So when he sent in his murdering scum, it came as no surprise 
It will go down in the annals of history, as Putin's great blunder 
And if anything it's united Ukraine, and not tore it asunder. 

American President Joe Biden has now found

God Does Not Laugh At the Blunder of Fools

Frowning, I read the words of a sanctimonious poem.
one t'would be praised and lauded by sinful, Jeroboam.
Its lines were written by one who is ignorant and daft
to think at mankind's flaws, almighty God would laugh.

Scorn Satan if insisting on talking about liars and fools.
Their weaknesses exploited. They're the devil's tools,
but don't point a finger at

Premium MemberThe Blunder

They misread, not misjudged, what was being said.
I lugged it up with my tenebrous mirrorings instead.

The denial to force trials remains an aware voidance.
And my calm is lit, despite the sprinkler's presence.

Once there were three girls who were very bad,
and they did something that would make Mom mad;
they found their Xmas presents,
opened, and switched the contents -
Xmas morn' they pretended to be glad !

Premium MemberBallad of Blunder

Man rules the earth, but watch his ways,
For they are quite insane.
The greed that’s rooted in his core
Drives him always to gain.
He just can’t accept give-and-take
For he has one-track brain.

He blunder forth and not realise
He's speeding to his own demise.

He thinks he’ll keep one step ahead,
As disease spreads worldwide.
He's confident he’ll always win,
And life is

Egregious, inexcusable
Bobbling, gaffing, lapsing
Ever so inexcusable

Desire

Red lips, curvaceous hips
a sway in her walk tips 
the scales and leaves me
wondering how I ended up
here.

A chance meeting, a persuasive
greeting, entices me to
give in, to live in the moment
and enjoy the ride presented
by this illusive female form, 
challenging the norm of my everyday
existence.

I wonder about giving into this peculiar
blunder which erodes my being

Premium MemberSometimes I Blunder

Throughout our lives we sometimes blunder
We assume our writings are received with humor
A failure to understand
The reaction is unplanned
The recipient recoils at the humor off-color
