Some come with hands out
when they want to borrow things;
not just to visit.

If we don’t Leave,
riots in the cities,
anger won’t cease
invalid democracy
economy decrease
millions go crazy
blind to a peace
Remain minority
Leave the beast
The Peoples Vote march in numbers
The Peoples Vote are outnumbered
blind ignorant dumber
stop being such bummers

Oh hearken to me Destroyer of Poets
With heart in hand I declare my feelings
Without pretentiousness humbly kneeling
Thou art the greatest and now I show it
In verse for all so they shall to know it
My desire for you I've been concealing
Conversations with you left me reeling
I'm amazed how you remain so stoic
So beautiful, so gracious, and funny
Promptly greeting then eating newcomers
Wittiness and charm forever ascends
You cast the longest shadow when sunny
And call out those duplicitous bummers
I'm glad we've decided to be good friends
Italian Sonnet rhyme scheme abba abba cde cde
an original poem by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner
For my friend Linda "Poet Destroyer"

Those guys in white shirts are so lucky.
Compared to our job, theirs is ducky.
I speak for us plumbers.
Some days are such bummers,
spent knee-deep in things really yucky.

Cool, groovy, hip
No bummers here
Just a psychedelic love explosion
A total gas
We had a blast
The chicks were far out
So many foxes
The babes were alright
The whole scene was out of sight!
A good trip all told
This poem is circa the 1960's

One after another-
I fail to fast an egg for another-
one after another...
I ready reasons-
corroding all of the studded,
I claim to be beamed-
compounding my bummers,
shouting to withstand,
or reprimand my shudder,
ending in the rudder,
rotating a lover,
loading of the stowaways hover.

Sometimes I think that life's a bummer and then you die.............
Then other times I think was that me or some other guy..........
Because in reality life isn't all that bad............
And i'm thinking if I really do think that way it would be pretty sad......
And every time I get to feeling down and out I just think about all my great
family and friends...............................................................
And for some reason or other the bummer abruptly ends..............
I think it is a complete waste of time to stress over things about which you
have no control............................................................................
All though it seems when it comes to bummers some people really know
how to dole.....................................
So enjoy every day and be sure to take it one day at a time...........
So this is the way I see things, and my outlook on life so I just thought
I would put it all down in a little rhyme........................................js

Yes it’s like that,
we are dealin’ with real fake facts,
dealin’ with smokers actin’ like smoke stacks,
livin’ face to ace with a gunner out in a pack-
dealin’ with cats,
and real hate acts,
in other worlds,
not countries with borders and backs.
Yes it’s like that!
Winning the Warner's over with shiny take backs,
givers of gonad's come home to be shoveled back!
New age drama solving all of the slaughter,
out on the ****,
with a new lover of money and ribs-
...it’s like this,
i’m a gunner but also a runner who’s fast as a swinging ax!
It’s like this...
I’m done with the bummers got to be funner than all that fake fact!
Just like I’ve done her,
now I am a lover and now I’ve gotta
hate that **** back!
They old, they breed, they lie, they attack!
So fake that,
so make that!
Come on and shun um’,
we’re a lot more than what is comin',
we have bits and pieces of whats fumblin',
and it’s all for us to make into somethin'!
To break glass!
To tap ass!
And learn about a world that’s the same as we made it act...
