Earl Grey

A cup of tea is what I need to start off each and every day
and if that tea is going to get me through then it must be Earl Grey

I am not quite sure what it is about that exact type of tea 
is there magic in bergamot because it's so pleasing to me

Premium MemberSeated Together at James Earl Carter’s Funeral

God’s timing impeccable, bringing
together presidential adversaries, ringing
in the new year, giving us a chance
for revival. We hear about truthtelling stance.
We shall all pass into the great beyond;
Will these politicians find a way to bond,
Put aside their swords of tongue and lash,
so in heaven, no need for teeth to gnash?
Will these men and women embrace the

Parrots At the Earl De Grey

At one time it was said
From Hull to Valparaiso,
Or  any deep sea port
Any Mariner might know,
You could find a body who’d
Heard of the old Earl de Grey,
Many had even been there
On an onshore off duty day.

They’d talk of the girls
Offering friendship to all
And of the famous parrots
On their perches by the wall.

I knew a man nicknamed "Merle"
His first two names were William Earl 
He wasn't a mama's boy 
a singer playwright director joy 
He wasn't infamous yet semi-famous berle

Tears For Earl Simmons Draft

No more dmx 
A vigil held. A body put to rest

Tears were spilled 
A dog killed

Loved in life
But more in death

I cried for you
I know, not what dogs do

So rest in power earl 
For a moment you effected the world

If only you knew how many people you touched 
This poem just isn't enough 

But it's

Premium MemberA Deadication To William Earl Davis- Where Is William Earl

Where is William Earl Davis?
He was one of my best friends growing up
From first grade to twelve grade
Where are you William Earl?
You whom nickname was Merle
Pray you’re alive and doing well

Where are you William Earl Davis?
Your works, you craft so courageous
This is not a web
Not natural, not satin nor silk
Where are you 
William Earl?
He’s my

who always lived in constant peril
when someone swam too close by
and flipped sand in his eye
he was forced to make a danged pearl

Tenth Earl of Kildare

The teeth are dry. 
It is Silken Thomas 
muffling for promises 
among the rats in his straw, 
jostling for a hand, 
once wielding but now 
scratching the toes of power. 

The tongue leather bitten, 
studded with the supplication to You. 
A lament of request, 
where a crumpled 
cluster of bones saddens. 
We can’t only touch

Premium MemberThe Earl of Pence

'Twas a dark and stormy night! (OK!  So I'm being a tad histrionic!)
The Earl of Pence was lounging by the fire sipping his gin and tonic.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared sending shivers down his spine!
Even his hound, Lord Percival, was so upset that he began to whine!

'Twas well-known thereabouts that phantoms haunted the earl's
