Unintentional Innuendo
NOT FOR CONTEST
He took me to breakfast then suggested a movie -
he had a roomy, would watching at my place suit me?
Our first date, I wasn't feeling him, but then, okay,
maybe we'd become friends and good company.
When we arrived, I set the movie, he sat the couch.
I said, 'be right back, need the little girl's

Le Nouveau Monde,Le bistrot du Lounge
the foods here caused a conversation
One that had several people to find
facts that made them wonder.
In film research, exploratory research
is often referred to as formulative research
or practice-based research. It focuses on
gathering preliminary information to
understand a new topic.There are many
places named "St. Leonard" or "Saint-Léonard"

The Pool Shark
The Pool Shark
Double or nothing
I go for the gold.
I meet with the devil
and sell him my soul.
Content with the knowledge
I will win it all.
I let him guide me
to the pool hall table.
Dressed in my white suit
with Panama hat.
I stand with my cue
and watch my sucker rack.
As I line up my shot
I hear bets exchanged.
Their values

POEMS ABOUT POOL SHARKS
Fair Game
by Michael R. Burch
At the Tennessee State Fair,
the largest stuffed animals hang tilt-a-whirl over the pool tables
with mocking button eyes,
knowing the playing field is unlevel,
that the rails slant, ever so slightly, north or south,
so that gravity is always on their side,
conspiring to save their plush, extravagant hides
year after year.
“Come hither, come

Sunny Afternoon
There we sat, a sunny afternoon
The barbie lit, not quite enough flame
Her father fans it, wife tries to explain
Happy families. Two language game
I’ve nothing in common, forgotten their name.
I let myself go, release my sarcastic mood
We’re all inane smiles personified polite
He’s waving at the barbie dust on the food
My wife hangs on to her rage

Right On Cue - Bawdy Limerick
A surprise anniversary gift,
Caused giggles, which gave me such a lift,
If I was a nun,
I sure could have fun,
A cucumber .. if you get my drift!
My lovely friend Chris gave me a bag with some chocolates and a card and carefully wrapped in white tissue paper was a 9 inch cucumber which her husband had

When hitting the eight ball he knew

Bounced like a rocket
Around and around, then it flew

Blue Cue Cards
Is this war
Is this life?
Is it the core?
Is this what we came for?
More and more:
Pain and sorrow,
A journey and a hard knock
Life coined: the dual forces
Of reality, from steady grounds to earth quakes...
Strange clouds to fogs,
Man its cold when hit The bottom!
Blues and oceans flows
Sharks so scary, and whales
Those giants but

On Cue
On cue
God his purpose is elusive
What is actually his role?
In our lives and in our planning
What good is worship as a whole?
Don’t we long for independence?
Why would this start up a fuss?
Why should we give God the power
To decide what’s right for us?
We don’t want to be directed
Why wait for his sign and cue?
We could

If I'D Picked Up a Snooker Cue
If I’d picked up a snooker cue, when I picked up a pen;
and then gone on to build a break of eight or nine or ten.
If I had only listened more to those who understand;
who told me not to play the game by using just one hand.
If I’d just watched Big Break much more, instead

Mister Cue Ball Man
Just noticed for the very first time
My hairline is definitely receding
My crowning glory, my silvery dome
My time here is short I'm conceding
If I ever wind up as Mr. Cue Ball Man
It's my time to close up shop
Basically, it'll be over, over and done
No incentive with no silvery crop
May sound vain, a wee bit conceded
But with

The Cue, Clue and Glue of Mathematics
I never dreamt
Mathematics once a terror
I’ve ever learnt
From my life would delete a major error
As I struggled to make sense
Out of the labyrinth
Mathematics built from the nonsense
The terror in silly stealth
Conveyed in minds
That by dint of patience and perseverance
Gleaned from underneath concepts, processes and procedure behind blinds
Rewarded in a walk punctuated by persistence and insistence
To
