Dim Witted Poems

As You Age

Your time on Earth is limited.
Use it wisely; don't be dim-witted.
And as you age, be uninhibited!
Don't try to age with grace
always keeping a straight face.
Age with mischief and audacity,
high spirits and vivacity!
If doubts and inhibitions you dispel,
then you'll always have a story to tell.

VERSE PURSE

VERSE PURSE

Yearly tradition
Poetry competition
All had ambition

Just wait for the call
Announced in the Poet Hall
Said the know it all

Poems submitted
Against each other pitted
Even dim-witted

The results were in
The winner identified
And brought to the front

It was a lottery
Not based on experience
Most there were displeased

When not selected
He said to the guy behind
Not chosen, are you

The Silence of the Ewes

The silence of the ewes


He helped run them up seven sheep for the slaughter
got them into the truck, taking them to the abattoir
in a pen outside, they waited and bleated nonstop
Dim-witted perhaps, they didn’t expect a happy result.
In circles, they ran, but one by one, caught and
brought into slaughter.
When it was the last sheep’s turn to go into
the room of lifeblood and gloating men in caps 
the sheep had stopped bleating following its
captors in and offered no resistance.
The men in bloodied overalls were silent 
this was unexpected, yet the axe fell 
In the night, the boy had a dream he had stopped
the slaughter of the seventh sheep, together
boy and animal walked to a green field 
to a place where the sun does not ever set and
 the sky is deep azure.
The boy held on to this dream for a long time
believing it to be the truth, but finally, he had to let go
He was as guilty as the men with gore on their hands
simply by being of the humankind

Lie About Lying

The moral compass is spinning
Democracy’s light is dimming
The country faces ruin
The lies just keep on coming

No honour, dignity or integrity remains
In this government that fails and wanes
Scraping the bottom of the barrel 
Our leaders are the worst kind of self-important, sociopathic rabble

Lies for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Just keep feeding the lies to the dim witted.
Make sure we get all their money.
Let them starve and suffer, it’s so funny!

Throw parties while they’re dying.
Laugh and joke while they’re crying.
Lie about anything and everything.
Lie about lying. 
Let the people die crying because thanks to us England is now dying.

Caught Again

Come, consider his story,
People not used to fear.
He tells a tale
And we entrust him,
But he and his kind,
We simply disgust them.
Prosaic dupes,
(We’re quite the fools)
Praise God as he goes on
And on . . . 

. . . and on he tells of glory,
Battles won - in time.
Salute the flagged boxes,
There’s no disagreeing.
Trust in his word.
Praise to his being.
Dim-witted lot,
(We’re quite the fools)
Blood-letting assaults for days
And days . . . 


. . . and days transform to years,
Numb to a fall from grace.
Treacherous idols,
Allaying fears
Between each smile,
Count souvenirs.
Addlebrained chumps
(We’re quite the fools)
Selling our souls for a penny a pound.

Opinions

Opinions matter, I am clear in head
I do hear them with courtsey and respect
They help me pick up any useful thread
Opinions matter, I am clear in head
I like opinions kindness that embed
For peace and tranquility they help spread
Opinions matter, I am clear in head
I do hear them with courtsey and respect

Opinions that are unsolicited
With calm they can be filtered silently
They need to be discarded if dim witted
Opinions that are unsolicited
Their usefulness is often limited
In one's mind can be deleted quitely
Opinions that are unsolicited
With calm they can be filtered silently

Democracy lets opinions expressed
Even if it's against establishment
Diversity gets beautifully dressed
Democracy lets opinions expressed
Gives voice to the ones that are dispossessed
Lessens their class difference punishment
Democracy lets opinions expressed
Even if it's against establishment

Sour Grapes

I penned a great poem for a contest
Glowing comments stated it should place high
When winners appeared I became distressed
I'd failed to place and released a sad sigh  
 
I silently seethed, didn’t breathe a word,
I held back tears, eyes started to glisten
The placing by this judge was so absurd
I held my tongue as no one would listen

The sponsor had been blatantly unjust
All the winners ignored one simple rule
'Winning’ poems used words of such disgust
That judge proved to be a dim-witted fool
 
I’ve now completed my sour grapes sonnet
If I’m on Mark’s list, I’ll eat my bonnet!

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - Don'T Let the Title Put You Off Reading

The sponsor chose words I’ve never heard of before
So if I don’t win the contest I’ll declare he’s a bore


It’s axiomatic that I’ve an altruistic attitude
But I don’t give a fig if folks think that I’m rude!

I’ll sign a declaration of my asseveration
Then bare my teeth like an angry Alsatian!

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words
Is this word some kind of cynical joke aimed at dim witted nerds!


REQUIRED WORDS axiomatic, altruistic, asseveration

Tongue  firmly in cheek poem for contest

I Am Dumb Perhaps Dumber

Lloyd and Harry, two dim witted men
they made me laugh, laugh, then laugh again
with their innocent acts
slapstick, gags and wisecracks 
I love this movie, well now and then.

Nowt funnier than dumb and dumber 
this great film makes me laugh and blubber
so fills my mind with glee
because they are like me
I'm stupid, but a lot chubbier.

Lol

I'm learning so much these days
Social mediating my way through this life
Like how to get away with things that I say
Which most times aren't very nice

It's really not that big of a secret
Anyone can join in on the fun
Just throw an LOL! on the end my friend
And you can insult most anyone

For example, you're the worst person in the world LOL!
Simple enough...see what I mean?
As you let the truth fly the wise in their own eyes
Have no idea of what they've just seen

So let's all try this together
Everyone line up single file
Wait! You call that a line?! Are you people out of your minds?!?
Do you all have beans for brains? LOL!

I think you all now get what I'm saying
I think I explained it rather well
Unless your all just a bunch of dim witted Neanderthals
Oh I almost forgot.....LOL!

Poetry Soup

liquid generally served warm
boiling solid words of passion
purees thickened with weird im-
ages out of the mind of a crazy cr-
eator meters rhymes calculations an-
d counting were of the old kind when
dim witted patrons mostly ruling dwelled
in rules and regulations order and structure
when they dressed up to eat at their mansions
now we are in this kind of free world and we ma-
ke free juicy creamy warm soups of anarchic love

Paris Summit On Climate Change

God,

In His infinite wisdom said:*

“Let there be light” 

Then 

He went on to create this spectacular world

For us to delight!
 
Man,

In his infinite "stupidity"** retorted: 
 
“ Let there be darkness” 

Then 

He was set to destroy this marvelous world 

With his mind's dim-witted starkness! 

Now,

Man has the horrible consequence of his 

Abominable crime to face

That no other is than the obliteration of 
  
Self-centred human race!

*Genesis, 1:3  

**“Albert Einstein said: "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.”

*** Although I do not post these days I wish to repeat what I have said before for it is important for all of us to ponder, along with the rest of the world. In some cities, as Beijing today, one cannot see more than ten meters because of pollution. I know for I have passed seven months there.

Memory Lapse

MEMORY LAPSE

they peer at me
in short panted
breaths
against cuts and 
breezes
childhood days
and drifts like
wood in dark
mahogany
past pastels
through every
heart torched that
touched my soul

now life gapes
huge holes
cracked mirrors
with
fissured tears
faces that visit
and giggle
clueless
dim-witted
brainless
obtuse

a memory lapse
unaware 
of what was
left behind

Pawn

soft as whispers from souls as they transcend our plane,
hot wet tears silent fall down a face wrecked with pain
how much longer can she be so calm, so serene
while a wicked wind gathers to crush her true dream
all along were the signs from a universe that speaks
but to only those willing to listen and keep
one wild eye on the wolves ravenous, circle her now
the other stole low, as if criminal may she prowl
remember sweet nothing though labours be oft
and should anyone tell you its not worth the cost
shout out loud how you couldnt care less were they tossed
simply smile sly and sexy yet ever stay strong,
it confuses the masses of dim-witted pawns

Ride To a Nuthouse

Now I am sitting alone in this
Funny wagon with my boom box
and minding my own business
along with a bunch of numskulls
who thinks I am a nutcase like them—
What a drag! And they think we are
all going to a Funny Farm where
they take those who go bananas!

But I know better because
I am good and dandy--
One hell of a cockscomb dude!
All I am doing is 
bamboozling them for now,
Behaving as if I am one of them—
These dolts, dim-witted blockheads!

But, YOU, who’s reading this,
can vouch for me, won’t ya?
Why? Because you are as cool as I am,
It takes one to know one!

You catching my drift, ain’t ya?
