It is a teamwork type of thing-
Ringing the bell so well
The next mashup of a maxed out bashing of an over flowing cup of mountain water upstream-
Kings the next castling on the other side of the ring
Ding-ding
Back for more “bling, bling!”
Onion rings on the side, pretty please!
Watch how my truck sings as it revs up after a mental rental goes caching ching
Just saying...
Lying, laying, slaying & spraying-
Weighed in like Jayda- WILL SMITH I "lit" my cig-
was fuzzy wuzzy big?
Failed Trigonometry
Sold Origami
My salami
Is like " Salam Aleiki"
Hate me please
It could be a breeze
I am NOT on my knees
Please
Jeez!
Go TX!
Is any thing I say meaningful?
-----------------------------------
we spent many hours talking about
lounging
sorted differences seeking fun
our time for planning had taught us
that our next venture had begun
Words out loud mde it officail
we'd been cordnating things
there is a fine line between prudent
and parinoid
sometime just do your thing
every mention is challenged
an obstacle to overcome
sometimes advice is undermining
you never know where it's coming from
take sometime smooth the edges
done cursed a many still
ask my lord for forgivness
you might think that such is a thrill
Damn the alternaters busted
gotta fix it all over again
you might think I like this situation
trust me it's ah bitter pill
in the weird nothingness
I found some releif
the stress of contridiction
has strenghtened my belief

Dang It!
How Am I
Supposed To Live
Forever With These
Flimsy Bones?
That May Not Appear
Creative, But I'm
Surprised By Why
I'd Want To.
Dang It.

Pony-up, you owe the money
Your protests, not even funny
When you win, we pay up fast
The about-face ~ What a contrast
Brits have gone bonkers over this:
Matt & Gina just shared a kiss!
Unless you are wealthy
Kissing is not healthy
Keep your distance! NEVER share bliss!
Pigeons
There’s a pigeon on the rooftop
And he’s driving me insane
For his constant pigeon noises
Seem to permeate my brain
From his perch upon the chimney
He’s coo cooing to his mate
It just thunders through the building
And it comes out in the grate
The noise is quite incessant
And no matter where I sit
I still hear this damned bird calling
It annoys me, quite a bit
How I wish he’d find another house
To broadcast to his lover
Why does he have to use my roof
Why can’t he find another

Mum says I got
To eat these
Danged ole peas
No matter how I beg
And say please
I still got to eat
Dem danged ole peas
So I shoves
Some on the floor
Flipped a few
Out the door
Gave a bunch
To the dog
Crammed a wad
In my pocket
Then dumped the rest
In sisters bowl
I'm looking slyly at
My clean plate
Mum smiles and says
Your the fastest pea eater
I've ever seen
I can see you like
Peas so much
Let me scoop you
Another bunch
So all I can say
Jeeze O please
No more of them
Danged ole peas
DANG YANKEES
I got a hole in my head
I wish I was dead
Somebody shot a hole in me.
My ears are gone
I feel something's wrong
Why am I tied to this tree?
I want 'a go home
My buddies are all gone
Nothing here I want 'a see.
Yankees are winning
Seems they are all grinning
Not a safe place to be.
So all in all
I'm having a ball
Wouldn't you agree.
J. Truman Stewart
They call us 'rents'.
Less kind than kin.
Their words obscured in part
Though their tongues
Are hinged and unpinned.
As if they could think,
But not fully speak,
Their minds formed--
Simple,
Mono-syllabic their words,
Concatenated words,
Puffing and cheeky words.
As if, tongues are burdensome,
Spared the effort spent.
Lips to move--hard pressed,
Breathing steady, no duress,
But a second syllable?
It is seldom expressed.
A decade back
Would we have, yea did,
Spew our poly-syllabic words
Coin of our age
Page upon blessed page
Until, by-and-by,
We had to stop, pause, breathe.
Ah-h-h-h.
And there is the rub!
We made those words last,
If last they could,
If last they would
Longer than we, ourselves.
And where is that language now?
The Next Generation speaks!
Soon Americans will be 'Cans'
Or is that word already
Rendered,
Or rent?
Eh?
Oh, not the 'rents like we
Nor rent once paid as fee,
But rent as rent
As rended, twisted, spent;
Torn in twain,
Until all that is left of the word
Is an honorable mention
A guttural intervention,
A single syllable
Meaningless
Incoherent.
Coinage for a lazy tongue.
her increasing wants ergeses me
to satisfy
the need for meat
I never ask why
the gravy sauces the plate
and covers the imperfections
of potatoes mashed to accompany the meat
this meat so tender
so damn tender
the edges crisp with sweet caramelized sweetness
salted perfectly
pink the center of the funk
the plate holds all this junk
tender enough to eat with a spoon
cooked well enough to tell somebody
to come over here
and eat like I ate,
come on ya'll dig the ripe, ripe roast
chef want sum pleasing for his teasing
tip the waitress, no?
your glad bag, and sum pictures
remove the meat from yo' denture
the wine was cheat but sweet
I really enjoyed yo' sweet, sweet meat!
dan saying haiku
dairy queen da hot ice part
little monkey fart
i am left of center in life's enigma,
but in politics i am more in the write.
letters and words mix to cause confusion,
think carefully now.....am I right?
Hint at the irony, I'm trying to be bright,
With a letter that stands for individual might...

everybody knows when the wind don’t blow
but if you go to the picture show

everybody sing the ding dang song
a ding dang diggy diggy ding dang do
diggy diggy diggy diggy
