Big Ben
When asked, 'If the orchestra conductor
had made an effort more concerted
not to miss the concert
and a sordid scene averted,
would he have been less disconcerted?'
"Don’t ask me, I’m only the drummer,"
replied I in chagrin.
And, altho' the name of my favourite band
is the one I am currently in,
I do like the sound of the moniker, 'Big Ben,'
it's

Disorderly Conduct
Dear Karen, there’s something I need:
I’ve got you a poem to read.
A deficit in one’s attention
is probably best left unmentioned.
If boring writes get you distracted,
my outcome’s adversely impacted.
For when the dear reader is addled,
strong placements just up and skedaddle.
Before you’ve a chance to retort,
just know that I’m keeping it short.
Disorder escapes its confines
perusing these final

Sculpting his idol with magiC,
Prayers she offers saying, “HellO”!
Exclusively with leaves so greeN,
Carefully, for him a garlanD,
Imagining him as her beaU,
Always makes singing a lyriC!
Love is mad, in facT!!

Keep to the right
Keep to the right
Teachers all taught
Keep to the right
Stay on the right
While we all walk
So it’s not chaos
Crossing crosswalks
Dodging and bumping
While in the store
Now it’s all madness
No order no more
Keep to the right
Is obsolete
It went in decline
For the…me me
Keep to your right
Or to your left
It’s about

Let No One Despise Your Youth
Let no one despise your youth
May all disciples tell you the truth
In Word,
Not just the first, second, or third, let your thoughts be heard
And your feelings unstirred
Your heart Misguided and Misheard
Let no lesson go unlearned
Leave your grief submerged, only take what you’ve earned, and if deserved, Justice will be served
So let your mind go

Never
Don’t live your life with skin that’s thin.
Never be sorry, never give in.
Never apologize, never explain.
Never surrender to meanings not plain.
Never forgive, never forget
Never be soft, never regret
Always defend what you know is true
Against others who haven’t a clue.
Arguments based on empathy,
Are spineless, and lack honesty
Though stated with intensity.
They're nonsense, not reality.

Miss Conduct
Miss Conduct rocks on her high horse
And vitriol soon starts to course
Right through all her veins
She always complains
There’s never a hint of remorse
She’s always so nasty and rude
Her language is often quite crude
She sure likes to holler
But thinks she’s top dollar
Her actions can’t be misconstrued

Conveyed Orderly Conduct-
Now is the beginning end;
Your enemy is truly your friend;
When it's finished,
and it's over it's never completed;
Before it's under succeeded;
And I confess;
That I have established;
I am that I am;
Conveyed orderly conduct;
Here I stand;
An enabling product;

Disorderly Conduct
Quiet on the set, you annoying disrupter
Your carrying on is causing unproductivity
The well oiled machine has lost its lubricant
A clog in the artery of consistsncy, you block blessings
With so many distracted minds, you are not needed
One cannot paint if one cannot focus
Move your self from the assembly line
Disrupt those who yearn

Karma
Before actions go around to come around,
all deeds ascend up, then truth lessons shower down.
Such is the universe’s tried, true recipe
that has been employed for all of history.
Whether conduct is good, bad or otherwise,
all human behavior meets heaven’s keen eyes.
If we say it, pray it, think it or do it,
it goes up, then down once

Unsportsmanlike Conduct
Such violent acts going on in the N.F.L.
And all glossed over by Roger Goodell
In seeing the tape of Ray Rice's knockout
Rodger didn't see any wrong in such a bout
Then when Mr. Peterson beat his own child
Rodger said I've seen worse, that one is mild
See Roger makes 43 million dollars a year
In holding his prestigious

Conduct Caliber -
Which is the greatest conduct of them all,
which one denies terpitude & futility most strenuously,
which exhalts productivity & nobility most vigorously,
is there a single method of action, behavior of best results
that is preeminent & priority above all others, a vangaurd conduct marshalling the rest,
I am the voice of Sympathy,
where there is woe, misery, lamentations abounding
