Premium Member Banshee Stand Up
So my mom's parents are from Ireland; her mom is from Galway and her dad is from Cork. My grandma had 13 siblings.

Botox Goldilocks
Goldilocks and the three bears, The story is a classic. But one idea came to mind, What if she was made of plastic? With lips so swollen And cheeks so bloated She was red and shiny And was very coated. The bears that came saw the porridge, They searched and found Goldilocks. Screaming and fearful,...

Modern Sea Creatures
Creatures of the sea, all beautiful and fair. A thought comes to mind, what if they swam in the air? Would we swat fish away as we do with bugs Or tentacle arms always giving hugs? Whales would want nicknames, Sardines playing hopscotch games, Lion-fish need to be tamed, Crabs at cafes sipping coffee...

Premium Member I think my boyfriend's Gay
The way he gazes at the moon, Doesn't quite feel right; every day he has a different tune. I envy his starlight, the perfect fit for a groom The kind that doesn't find a reason to fight With much passion, I was drawn by his spiritual side, Putting on a show with his flamboyant stride...
