When business went
from bad to worse
and the Nookie Bookie
(a pimp)
with a curse
saw the number of customers'
trousers drop
he took umbrage
at an advertisement in the press
inserted by the local knocking shop
(where pleasure is a business)
which was seen to say...
RED LIGHT SPECIAL
Too many hookers spoil the brothel
Gentlemen
today's the day you're in luck
2 for the price of 1
more BANG for your buck!

The old ‘Pass-Punt-Kick’ contest
misappropriated by politicos
You’re familiar with the stereotype
the kind who check which way the wind blows
Like a hot potato they pass the buck
If asked a tough question, they punt
And when a financial decision looms, they
kick the can years down the road
So, fans, it seems we have a winner
535 Congressmen, each and every one a sinner

Despair not,
The wound is superficial
The arrow only grazing
Your death mask delayed
The pain is real
But the end,
far from us

In Preparing children for the adult world,
There is no better game to teach them than pass the parcel,
No better game to show them that we live in a caring world.
And when they reach adulthood in our caring world,
It will easy for them to exchange a buck for the parcel,
And add one more rule to make it in the adult world,
You do not treat the buck like a parcel.
No, passing the buck,
Is a better way of making it in the adult world,
As is, not the system to buck.
And never getting caught in the adult world,
Holding the buck.
For the advanced player,
Passing over as few bucks as possible,
For a parcel,
Of land that is profitable,
Is the ultimate goal for an advanced player,
Who knows who to leave holding the buck.

A young buck in Toronto named Trask
sunbathes nude for the girls if they ask.
They're impressed with his dong,
it's so thick, long and strong
and it's certainly up for the task!

Late in the afternoon,
long shadows drive in-roads,
between paths of sunlight.
Got my Nikon on.
Locked and loaded.
The white tail just came too close,
got him!
Man did he fly when he heard,
the whir and click of a live camera!
Shot him startled and looking,
shot him leaping.
Took him down
as he disappeared
back into the deep woods.
Man,
I think I will hang
his big old beautiful head
on a wall,
somewhere at the back of my brain
forever.

Oh, for the taste of a sweet, juicy berry,
some sweet rose petals would make me happy;
I'm so tired of woody browse and acorns,
my throat gets dry and my teeth are worn.
For an aging buck needs good sustenance;
I hate the browse cracking, such dissonance!
I long for tree buds, tender grass and shoots;
I'd kiss a squirrel for some acorns or fruits.
I love buckeye, chestnuts, pecans and raspberry;
some strawberries, blueberries and blackberries.
To run through the fields seeking a spouse
and revel in the colors of those lovely grouse.
An apple or two, perhaps some paw-paws,
fresh almonds are tasty to chomp in my jaws.
Sweet herbs like lemon grass, sage and chicory,
dandelions, alfalfa, plantain and hickory.
I yearn for those tasty pleasures of Spring,
my mate and I will enjoy everything!

Prettiest buck acted like he did not know he was fine.
We watched him hop over fences with does in a line.
They all want his attention, they flirt with him sublime.
The other bucks pick out his leftovers, saying “that one’s mine.”

There once was a stupid $hmuck
Who tried earning an honest buck
But his job drove him crazy
So he became lazy
And no longer gave a ....

Antlers big and strong
Big changes like all phases
Capricorn in view
So near to Mother Gaia
The heart stands at center stage

Young tough Billy Buck,
had one more puff.
Then went for his gun,
and ran out of luck.
He was tough, but not fast.
two slugs his last gasp.
Here lie's young Billy Buck,
Ash to Ash, Dust to Dust

Rufus Buck
With him folks wanted no truck.
He was evil and mean, his thoughts were unclean.
To meet him was just plain bad luck.

The promises fell
as excuses became,
the voice of the man
who is casting the blame
While off on vacation
these moment to share
Informing the masses
he hadn’t a care
“It comes from another
who made this design,”
he mumbles and stutters
in televised time
“Do not look at me
for I haven’t a clue
It is obvious now from
the scenes out on view”
“The pipeline I stopped
and the border is free,
but this is much different
you cannot blame me”
So now as they die
harshly falling from planes
Their old way of life,
not a fraction remains
The enemy now holds
the key to the vault
Yet still he insists
it’s another man’s fault
“I’ve stopped everything
he had put into law
But this I choose not for
you can’t have it all”
He has no regrets,
the one truth he has told
While winking at China,
his soul quickly sold
He sits in his chair
with a beady eyed leer
Counting his yen for the
buck does stop here
The Afghan people have been betrayed as this weak and ineffective President vacations.
