Hapless Laments a Man
Chess perhaps be the only game That mirrors life men live—so tame: King, as men in kingdom, Cannot move in freedom, Queen, any which way in the frame! If king gets no long rope, Is there any a hope For poor men worth their worthy name? ________________________________ Limerick |06.08.2023| humour, men...

That robot on line is so crafty! Pick a number, he says; make it snappy! Or go to the App He'll get nowhere with that; He should know by now I'm un-appy!...

Premium Member When She's Sick I'M So In Trouble - In the Words of a Hapless Husband
When she’s sick I’m so in trouble Rocks my world, bursts my bubble, All at once my head is spinning, Forehead aching, hair fast thinning. I’m not trained to handle chores, Clean the house, go to stores, Cook the meals, feed the kids, My existence on the skids. Give me patience, show me how She won’t quickly disavow This poor man she claimed to...

Help the Helpless and the Hapless
Too many questions life asks me To which I offer no accurate answers Not that as a busy bee I can’t assemble diva dancers To satisfy life’s curiosity Meant to uncover Why life in my city Bestows on me a thousand chances to discover If my potential in width and depth Generates at right rates outputs In consonance with the faith I profess in the...

The Hapless Crime of Being a Victim
It was a very dark night With no one to listen her plight She looked for mercy, but found wanton eyes filled with lustful delight. She saw her life flash before her eyes, her fright now scaled new height It was a horrendous feeling, one of pain and Hurt Alas it was all over: the face of her family suddenly...

Hapless
Hapless days have come and passed In memory they remain but only in my mind Every moment every task assigned Looking back its picture perfect Though only pain is what it brought Born a saint though with every sin I become a sinner And sinners are born only to live and die There was once a day or so...

Hapless In Helmand
four star circus side show of war, thugs on a hillside another killing floor, greedy men squabble loudly gulping down the poor, coalition vacuole futility galore, sobbing children in the dust silent tears like rain, generation lost to time born in tragic pain, greener valleys stretch on out blot out the crimson stain, sons and daughters of the fist hope for love in vain, win the peace, slogans fly bloviating head, metal coffin...

The Seductress Is Hapless
Here she comes like shaft of the sun, walking, As sullen eyes and widened mouth feast – Dubbed the slayer of love; the goddess of lust – all stalking Libidinously like a fun starved beast Beauty so hypnotic, enslaving whoever looked twice Ensnared kings, drunks, gamblers and sorcerers Ducked in her den as hankering pleasure floats itchy eyes – Loyal...

Hapless, Helpless, Hopeless
I'd like a chance of true romance To dance across my loveless path A seed in me to place- implant, But I find it all a laugh! In splendored lands to hold our hands, While Beauty lies where Love will stand? Ha! But in an instant, it feels so distant- A Union to disband...

The Hapless Youth
Look at him and see that he's determined To win the glories now denied; See his zeal and study his will, It is the highest satisfaction he wants to feel. Father of all and the Author of Truth, Look towards him with merciful favor, And guard him from those uncouth, And bless his every toil and endeavor....

Hapless Gaff
The teleprompter tumbles in the clamorous migration of doting interns and banner-waving believers, as the majority rallies yet again toward fervor behind pitch-black sound bites guaranteed to stir frothing complacency of thought. As the seconds stretch in the arc of gravity, the press core readies their cut-to-tape excuses while half the bodies on stage begin talking to their sleeves with darting eyes hushed behind nearly opaque lenses until the shattering collapse and...
