Getting wise to it

I hate that I let people waste my time.
They'll clutter my head with busy chatter
and I let them unload their garbage.

They walk away without a clue
that they have defecated on my peace.

I keep thinking they'll get wise to it
but they never do and still I say nothing
but maybe just maybe today's the day...

Dumping Ground

Bringing your troubles; like I was your dumping ground
Walked away with my life without as much as an amen
No words spoken, until my happiness drowned 
Shadows diminishing, never to be seen again

But I am now seeing through your corrupted soul
As you now dance and skip along with my life
It was your master plan, your only

DUMPING SURPLUS FOOD

Discreetly sent to landfill site
then buried out of public sight
where it will slowly rot away
with other waste sent to decay
surely this is morally wrong
in times when people are starving
sell-by dates are partly to blame
as they maintain the profit game
but is this practice really right
dumping good food in landfill site.

Dumping Down Under

The species of Aussie wombat
Are unique when producing 'scat'
I’m not kidding you
They poop square shaped pooh
I wonder if you too knew that!


The poem was a challenge by an on line friend and how could I refuse writing about square poop - thanks for the inspiration

The wombat produces 80 - 100 square cubes of poop a

Killing Her Own

KILLING HER OWN.

She carried him for months,
The pain and the suffering
All now dressed in new pants,
The commencements

Dumped in the street
A stranger picked and raised him.
Nursed by not his own,
Life isn’t a given.

Is this what our mothers have become?
Is this what the fiber of our ancestries have become?
Is this what we call freedom of choice?
Is this

Hello Dear Hello Back Dear

Hello, Dear, I trust the garbage in the road was picked up on Friday.
To add insult to the sweetness,
“I think it amusing there is a no dumping sign” across from where they have dumped.
Yes, I too think it bitterly amusing, since this pile from hell is about 
Six feet from my driveway, which is so

Dumping Addiction

Why won’t addiction  leave me alone,
Get fed up and just go away,
It’s not like we’re friends or get on all the much,
But he insists on having to stay,
We may have the odd laugh,
Hang out when we’re bored,
And he’s there when I’m broken or dumped,
But the rest of the time I don’t want him around,
So

Dumping Pieces of Paper

Dumping pieces of paper is gone
count, inflate, jump, hide figures
do arithmetic of the underworld
boom, bang, boom, bang, bang, oh!

I do see these figures very clearly
imperialism, why are you still here?
boom, boom, bang, bang, bang
clear up; I am coming in, no delay

Colonialism, whom do you waylay?
you make me excited  power-fool
boom, boom, bang, bang give way
stand

The Dumping Ground

Two retired senior citizens
Home a dumping ground with three cats
Two Chihuahuas, one bull dog fat
Question~~who eats pets or denizens?  

Our home has become a dumping place for
unwanted pets: first we got Princess who
someone put out behind our son's home in 
the city then Hairy showed up at our home
then at least two stray cats

The ground said to the
