Premium Member Putting A Podiatry Round

Skin felt the pain  

While playing a peaceful golfing game  

Challenging the course’s blister campaign  

Terrorizing the toe  

Forcing a temporary surgical sew  

Oh 

No 

To keep this show  

On the go  

They must know  

Basic health care  

Not to scare  

Removing infected nail  

Transporting remains towards the waste management pail  

Bloody and red  

Now dead  

Left as trash  

Above the fairway grass  

Next to Frank’s Furter  

Who was murdered  

After pork barrel spending  

And over lending  

Worth commending  

Pending  

Cooking the links  

Hearing what others think  

About another medical review  

Of the pinkie one too 

Country club house bound 

And the parfect round   

No bogeys in sight  

Feeling right  

Since all has healed  

Closing the deal  

Without a squeal  

Or scream 

From the green  

Manicured and pristine  

Ready for a four-day dream

Premium Member Air Conditioning Is Evil

just take off a layer
or walk around
topless 
i am the archpriest
eating sugar puffs
i am the prelate
eating bagels
i am halfway
in
and halfway 
out the window 

the mother-in-law wants it off
i am not for sale
my successors are labouring
like hercules
the hidrosis is formulaic 
like glib one-liners

"it's bad for the bones and
you'll catch a cold"

bring on the catarrh
the indisposition
the bogeys
the runny front bonnet
and collectivist honk 
the towel over the bowl
of hot adam's ale 

seduce my soul my doxy
my concubine
a night emission 
i make love to the air conditioner

Premium Member Gaslight Square

In another narcoleptic nightmare,
along crepuscular curbs
I am endlessly stalked by the depraved. 
Their railing against conspiring contrivances.
These gaslighting doctors of spin.

On every corner a barking Icke or Alex Jones,
On every path a fear-mongering Judy Mikovits.
Get hip to all the globalist conspiracies, 
Look smart, as all the word-crafters think for you!
Submit, as all the witchcrafters take from you!
These gaslighting doctors of spin.

Everywhere the nebulous deep state threat! 
Don’t you know?
OAN told me so,
	and Fox News provided the echo.
Co-conspirators of conspiracy conspiring,
Their shrieking against baleful bogeys,
Their immolation of fading truths.
These gaslighting doctors of spin.

Warlord POTUS, a Stalin, and Hitler disciple.
“Truth isn’t truth,” Rudy told us, after all.
The best control of the masses:
choke all channels 
with conspiring conspiracy cocktails,
these gaslighting doctors of spin.


Premium Member Exploring the Crows Nest - Bawdy

Our nickname for bogeys was 'crows'
Small fingers were wedged up our nose 
We got frequently told
Please stop digging for gold
Did I excavate ... shh no one knows!

As children we called bogeys ‘crows’ it is a regional word in the Derby/Nottingham/Stoke areas... incidentally my hubby grew up about 5 miles from where I lived yet he called them bogeys

Premium Member Green Sleeves - Bawdy Limerick Edited

Val’s daughter was picking her nose
Then wiping snot on Val’s new clothes
When Val finds sticky mess
Of green slime on her dress
The distress in her quickly rose

Green bogeys all over her sleeve
So slimy they make poor Val heave
To resolve this issue
Hands daughter a tissue
But bogeys on dress will not leave!

Val’s outfit that once was pristine
Is covered with snot of bright green
To compound Val’s distress
She cannot wash this dress 
Dry cleaning should get her dress clean!

The Old-Age Home

It wasn't in India, it wasn't even here,
rather, where you wanted it to be my dear,
I don't like the food and all the old fogeys,
they all just sit there picking their bogeys.

We tell stories: some chap worked for Unilevers,
was he selling Mars bars in Africa - would you believe us?
I was there - they ask me: 'Why did you return?'
I'll tell you: 'Before my balls started to burn.'

Before I was hacked like Captain Cook in the South Seas,
my time was over when I was the 'bee's knees,'
however, I miss the wide open spaces when heart races,
due to sky and horizon with great interfaces.

Now I'd like the time back when I saw a cheetah in my path,
If they asked me: 'Did it hurt?' 'Only when I laugh.'
