So, lost your get up and go?
No! can't pay your monthly bills?
Well, there's one drug you should know,
Dr. Will's Energy Pills.
There's no need for you to gripe,
No indeed, says Mister Depp.
Puts the lead back in your pipe,
And the pep back in your step!
Dr. Will will always call,
Once that you are of the mind.
That thru Winter, Spring, or Fall,
Sadly, you've been left behind.
If folks you want to throttle,
Go buy 'em, if you're able.
Cramped in this tiny bottle,
Stamped on a pretty label.
We kept grinning, cuz we chose,
The need to maximize 'em.
By just thinning out the dose,
Then bleed and micro-size 'em!
A discount we will issue,
If used by Second Cousin.
May need to buy a tissue,
Cuz, we'll charge you by the dozen!
I lost my hair and I lost my pep
That's why I lost the spring in my step
But I couldn't go on
When my manhood was gone
And I lost my wife to Johnny Depp
I am an American actor and most say I have charm.
I’ve never been in horror movies that bring people harm.
I’ve played lots of parts and fans call me versatile.
I have been told that my ability to act makes directors smile.
I create my parts and make the characters as real as I can.
Oh, I nearly forget to tell you that I am an American man.
Between 1980 and 1982 I was in a sit-com wearing a dress.
Called Bosom Buddies, but probably won’t help you guess.
I am not a good looking guy like Swayze, Depp or DiCaprio
The name “Ryan” has come up as a movie I was in, and also,
As one of the lovely ladies I have acted with, I am 6 feet tall.
My wife kept her last name Wilson, it’s the name of a ball.
Playing a pilot and a war hero, prison warder and professor,
I am starting to hope that this sponsor is a good guesser.
I was offended for all women by a guy named Trump .
My most famous role was a guy with initials F. G.
My club
Dudes are welcome with the entry of Mr Modi Ji and Mr Jonny depp hot bpl are also welcome
Enjoy the day

Johnny Depp had a stonking step
That caused shiver like a strep
Once a pirate, captain of the black pearl
His charm caused his fans to twirl

I heard their faerie voices and they sounded far away
ran to get a magnifying glass to check out their fancy sway
it was three mini-faeries dressed in such finery galore.
decked in turquoise, lime and emerald, beautiful and more.
who made your outfits I asked the impressive dazzling three.
they did not speak as I did, their words were gibberish you see.
I was amazed at how hard they tried, they were truly beautiful.
spotted monarch came by and they sailed away, their mission dutiful.
I waved goodbye and forgot to get a selfie, so that is on me.
no one has believed my story about these gorgeous three.
one was a male who looked a lot like Johnny Depp, of course.
glad they got away before the grass was trampled by a horse.
I'll cross the sky of blue and gray
To roam across seas faraway
To the ocean of soaring dreams
Beyond the hills and endless streams
I'll go to land of milk and sweets
I'll ride with bird that roars when tweets
I'll meet the stars of tinsel town
I'll laugh with glitzy and her clown
I'll meet with Depp and Keanu Reeves
With tons of gladness on my sleeves
I'll sing the blues with sexy Swifty
I'll lure the eyes of gorgeous Alexy
I'll go to land of frosty rain
I'll charm the glance of Shania Twain
In land where hearts that long for cradle
Found solace in her sweet cuddle
I'll go to tower of soaring greatness
To meet his crown and charming mistress
In her heart that's full of brilliance
I'll cross the bridge that roused her radiance
I'll go to Oz, the land down under
To feel the shake of her thunder
I'll see the beauty of lovely Nicky
To her, I'll sing with her sweet Keithy
But my grandest dream of all
When I am through, in gust of fall
I'll lay still in paradise
To watch the sea birds on the rise

Joon and Sam

Wearing a helmet in the car
Watching the world pass by
See a man sitting in a tree
A connection is formed
Lose a bet and gain a roommate
Enjoy new ways to experience life
Painting together and sharing a sweet kiss
Feelings and emotions became entwined
Sam and Joon became close friends
It blossomed into a true love
Two hearts became one
In unusual circumstances
Two eccentric people
Trying to navigate their path
Finding love and acceptance
A chance to have a new start
An artist and a performer
Delightful moments together
Ironing cheese sandwiches
In Joon's new apartment
Independence and freedom
Dignity and respect
Choices that are made
To live and learn and love
Joon and Sam together
It's a sweet, whimsical love
To remind us that anything is possible
In our Universe so beautiful

Johnny Depp was playing a role
That his wife would never console
He took her to court
And will not abort
'til one or both are on the dole!
I suppose it wouldn't be that bad to star in a cheesy tv show if the show was about cheese.
Careful what you order in the Korean noodle shop. It might arrive with mayonnaise on top.
Why are there no great InCel stand-up comics? And people say feminists aren't funny.
Ever heard of "Story Mapping"? Apparently it's a cult thing. A box of air for which people pay money.
"Come meet Baby Kim!" said the invite. Brought little knitted slippers. Turned out it was a kimberly monitor lizard.
Maybe covid virus can be spread by our ears. Do not go out without earplugs! Also, do not drop your pants in public.
I thought I saw Johnny Depp downtown, wearing a girly hat. But it was Jennifer Tilly.
I'm a fan of Johnny Depp, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Orlando Bloom, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie, Selena Gomez, Ariande Grande, Goo Goo Dolls, Eminem, Rheanna, Dr. Phil, Ellen Degeneres, Paris Jackson, Taylor Swift, Lily-Rose Depp, Winona Ryder, Kate Moss, The Clooneys, and Royalty. Who are you a fan of?
( … if you catch me doing one of these.)
Naming any baby Finton,
voting for Hillary Clinton,
complimenting Nascar,
moving to Nebraska,
using "literally" to mean "very",
calling Derry Londonderry,
uttering the word "redact",
claiming Johnny Depp can act,
saying society's to blame,
mentioning fifteen minutes of fame,
feeling sorry for Amanda Knox,
watching anything on Fox,
or even one second of Jerry Springer,
making speech marks with my fingers,
drinking alcohol alone,
admiring Sharon Stone,
labelling anyone a pagan,
sighing "bring back Ronald Reagan",
playing Rod Stewart's "We Are Sailing",
paying money to see Van Halen ...
(and if ever, instead of clever,
I say smart,
I promise to wear -
right there -
a target across my heart.)
I see that you started following me
Did you click the gold star on a whim
Are you now sitting back, trying to relax
Waiting for it all to begin
Did you come here looking for answers
Or simply to be entertained
Should I now bring in the flamingo dancers
Arriving daily on the boogie train
Are you here to share in some laughs
Or looking for a shoulder to cry
Maybe you felt a pull to follow this fool
And you have no idea of why
Did you read the fine print..."If you follow me"
To closely it might drive you insane
I have dozens of lawyers waiting in the wings
That can expertly shift all the blame
So whether I hang out with the head of Johnny Depp+
Or start belly button lint dust fires+
Even digging up the body of Elvis +
All would be true if it wasn't a lie
Just remember that whatever happens
When I open the door to my soul
And give a slight peak, inside to see
It's not like you haven't been warned
+Shameless plugs on some of my odder poems
It's not enough to know of your worth
Through mother/father lips:
'You special, good looking, cool,
Smart, genius and also mesmerizing,
Have great charisma...
With personality to match
The best of all historic figures,
Great athlete also...
Well deserving someone
Who's rich like Gates or Buffet
Looking like Depp or, at least, Clooney...
With Jesus Christ's significance and morals
And, add to it, Jerry Sienfeld's funny -
All in one person, nonetheless.'
What's life will tell you in advance
Will give you all the warnings, lessons:
'It's not delusional assessments
It's what others
Thinking of you...
And if you are in demand
By other and another persons.'
A face in my heart,
with a worrisome glee,
a river in my heart,
with exorbitant wave,
cupid has got me wrong,
this time,not with arrow and bow
But with tong and fang
my heart tilt and tilt,
finding no convenient position.
it's dark and cloudy in my head,
my heart finds finding a way herculean,
I've eaten from the golden apple of discord,
Eris and Cupid battles on and on,
in my heart,
maybe i belong to one,
But not the other,
Maybe i belong to none,
And it's just a child's play
Can I love both,
Love both at the same height?
From my heart,
I heard John Depp say,
"If you love two people at the same time choose the second"
My heart skipped on hearing these...
But his second words were pain relief,
He said........
"Because if you really loved the first,
You wouldn't have fallen for the second"
Is this infidelity?
I'm so pained in this reality.
