Premium MemberDaily Daft Ditties 3 - Slug Meditations

Once, shell-less snails filled me with terror.
That childish outlook was my error.
Now, I laugh it off with a shrug.
It's just another slug.

***

If rock-paper-scissors was a game,
played with creatures whose only aim
was to eat,

when confronted by a duck, new to town,
any slug with pluck, would soon go down
in defeat.

Premium MemberDaft Daily Ditty 2 - Seals and Fishes

Seals and fishes
make wishes - 
large and small.

Bees and beetles
are so leetle - 
they're not big at all.

Premium MemberDaily Daft Ditty 1 - Musical Chairs

I ran downstairs
to play musical chairs - 
how I do recall!

I kept repeating
changing seating
'til there were none at all.

Big Daft Dave

Big Daft Dave
With his smiley round face
Has left this life 
For a maybe better place.
I'd not seen him
For many a long while
But I'll never forget
His why me smile
Or his great 
Infectious grin;
Dave was never slow
At getting them in.
Too late I heard
He'd just recently passed
But he'd remained a card
To the very last.
 His cremation arranged
To the

Daft From Bath

You look stupid in videos on phones at the start,
you don't look like "Badmans" calling women a tart,
when I see those skits I think what a retard,
and don't you know we all skip over that part.

I don't rap with accents like tings and blud innit,
recycling scrap lyrics while some chipmunk sings it,
we're from the same

Surreal and Daft

A strange collage of images dance on a poster board,
  layout of pictographs, stories that move and shout discord;
some sway left, some stand still, some sway alt right
 while tweet and twitter ping on the scoreboard lights.

Wonder what's going on in old DC
 with democratic and republicans on knees;
today they say this, tomorrow who

Premium MemberDaft - Tomato Kisses


My son gave me a great grow-box

to plant some veggies, watch them grow.

Tomatoes chosen 'cause they're red;
 
they grew quite fast...but then...oh no!


Their vines at once became alive;

and reached around to wrap my hips.

Got kisses planted on both cheeks

from succulent tomato lips!

Premium MemberDaft-- Couch Potato

Dear Lordy, what have you done
this loony spouse given me…
he rants and TV- clicks all night
much like a  freakish banshee!

Obsessed with horror movies
remote  control is life's drug:
This model needs rebooting,
It's time for urgent de-bug.

'daft'

It was bought to my attention
I had a rather odd reflection 
When I gave my explanation
There was an order of investigation
It seems my tales of alien penentration
Surely bought lots of speculation
Was it all from hallucination
Or just my wicked imagination

Daft - Madman Tales Vol: 1

The Lunatic living in my right brain
painted two ships on the watery horizon.
I folded the image into a paper crane
and it flew into the sea to die in.

The sun went down with a flash of green
and the Lunatic began to laugh
I asked him why he was causing such a scene
and he said the crane was

Premium MemberDaft Dream

Most of my dreams are quickly forgotten; but this one I keep rehearsing.
I'm not an interpreter of dreams, but  there's a certain direction I'm leaning.

My dream was about a long black snake whose type I could not determine.
I know next to nothing about snakes except maybe the venomous rattling kind.
Anyway, I killed this snake(or

Premium MemberDaft Bites

Daft Bites
I used to suck on nickels and dimes
Ain't nothin wrong wit that it's fine
Metals tasted like saltine crackers
I just gag, throw up like a method actor

Ahh! the aroma, seems not formal
Swallowed a couple pennies many times
Sucking on straws and dimes
My way of unwinding my normal

Daft Shopping

While walking in  the market  one day
I started talking to a friend we had lots to say
Unmindful of whatever came before  me
Kept walking somewhat straight  with glee

Suddenly  my  forehead banged into a pillar
My hard lense fell off and the pain was a killer
Hooding one eye I looked for the

Premium MemberSurreal and Daft

One day the family cat, before my eyes,
changed into a woman. Beautiful was she,
and very soon I came to realize
she also could converse intelligently.

She and I hang out now. There’s no doubt
she’s the coolest! Guys think she’s the bomb!
Just one thing about this all I can’t make out.
She’s female, yet as a cat, she was
