Inside cell of 16

By 11, I thought I'd have it down by 15,
But by 16 and a sour sunday morn,
And daisy chains foiled into the moor,
And hands that tighten but ne'er lighten, 
Hands that strangle, stitch, and liven.
Of ties that wrangle, withhold, hang o'er the handle,
And toe-tipp'd kisses of kids with scissors,
Incisions of misses by razors and flesh

Premium MemberLook on the Bright Side

My wife picked up the phone and called her friend Lucy
Said we'll be in your haunts, we're coming to D.C.
"We found a hotel in Largo, it has a large pool
It will take our dog, and the kids don't have school."

Lucy replied "Largo hotels shelter many an illegal
"I suppose you picked it because it will allow

Swamp Cleaner

All over Washington D.C.
He flies with pomp and pride
Donald Trump, President
Surveys the swamp overhead
Of wrath and promises bold 
He vows to cleanse the deep
Swamp's dark waters
His axe to wield
America great again to keep

Premium MemberThe black hole of DC

“My name is Jonathan Mellis, I'm solitary confined
In a D.C Jail, where they destroy your mind
They call solitary confinement “the hole”. 
They drop you in and let time erode your soul.

It’s hard to cope with this tunnel of sadness I'm facing
At first, I'm lonely and my mind is racing.
After a while this turns into desperate

Inxs of poison from iron maiden scorpion mamma and ac/dc charged aries papa

Although gainfully unemployed 
(fate now finds me receiving 
social security disability – 
for approximately 
the last baker's dozen years -
the yeast divine intercession 
rose to the occasion), 
I can still vividly visualize 
utter despair during 
early and emerging adulthood.

The following synopsis
wrought, impressed, crafted...

The Goblin takes his place TQ at the start of the race
Five more goody two shoes line up through sixth place
Pumpkin bombs locked at the ready
To turn these five fools into confetti

Gang green trees it at the start gun
A red rocket behind him named Spidey puts four to

Premium MemberDc Blues

Was a small town girl,
With big city views.
Gained a reputation,
On the front page news.

Met a rich young man,
While serving hors d'oeuvres.
She noticed his smile,
He admired her curves.

She was born dirt-poor,
He topped the A-list.
They slipped out back,
For a moonlight tryst.

A heavy kiss first,
Then the garments dropped.
No sooner began,
When the flashbulbs popped.

Blinded by the lights,
And caught unaware.
An

The Rolling Wheels Thunder

The Roar of the Thunder
You do not see the bikes for the roar
As they roll thundering down the interstate
Proclaiming a life once lived and changes sought
Demonstrating the era of wars fought
In a nation divided over peace and war issues

Family, veterans, advocates and friends gather 
To celebrate the Heros and pay tribute to the Fallen
The roar

When Joe and Jill went up the hill
To fetch the passage of a bill
The GOP*
Would not agree

insist government should be of the PARTY, 
by the PARTY and for the PARTY!

Disgusting Crowd
Disgusting crowd consists of Robo type People
They are brainwashed by their idols
Idols are persons who they worship
They are violent, aggressive and ill mannered
They are often dramatic
They behave in a way that one can identify their act
They think they are smart
They try to discover information about other People's opinions
They are employed and unemployed
They have cruel
