Premium Member Kash Patel

FBI Director Kash Patel:
the POTUS thinks he's really just swell.
But political pundits think he's a knob
who simply isn't up to the job.  

He likes to take credit for others' success.
What he's actually accomplished is anyone's guess.
The Republicans ask "Is he even legit?",
and many conservatives say he's unfit.

In the Pumpkinfuhrer's cabinet,
Kash really takes the cake.
But one should never interrupt an enemy
when he's making a mistake.

Premium Member Well Plaid

A Scotsman going by Archie McFlip
did a stumble, a fall, and a trip
he started to sing
and to do the fling
even though he had broken his hip

Aping back to days of yore

Time was apes stood up on rear two,
Gained height to hail human-like hue.
Today, back to all four,
Backward to times of yore,
Calling it Quodrobics--
Kind of calisthenics,
But he’s bored clueless what to do.

Premium Member College Daze

  
      When I recalled my college days
         spent mainly in a drunken haze

      Invariably I’d wonder why 
         job posts read ~ ‘Degree required’

Premium Member Perhaps - A Humpty Dumpty Tale

'Twas in London town (as I recall). 
I was just a boy so small. 
An egg sat smugly on a wall, 
by the name of Mr. Dumpty. 

Perhaps, it was Spring or early Fall,
that he held me in his thrall, 
the gentleman, I soon would call
(fondly), my friend, Humpty.

Oh, how we would pontificate,
those arms would wildly gesticulate 
Perhaps, I could anticipate, 
he would be kaput. 

But my oval friend with roundish butt,
my warning, he would then rebut,
saying, "fiddle dee dee and tut, tut, tut".
Trouble was afoot.

Perhaps, as he swayed in the breeze,
with spindly legs and knobby knees,
if he'd have listened to my pleas, 
I'd have a different story.

Can one depend upon a horse,  
with feet, but with no hands, of course, 
to mend the consequence of force,
unquestionably gory?

It was so many years ago, 
years of counseling, I'd undergo - 
perhaps, I threw just a little low
to my friend Humpty.

'Twas in London town (as I recall). 
I was just a boy so small. 
when I tossed him that ball, 
saying "Catch it, Mr. Dumpty"

Premium Member The Triple-Axel Flip

It is true that I happened to slip
on a banana peel like a drip,
and yet I invented
the trick I presented -
the very first triple-axel flip.

Premium Member Stumble and Rise There was an old Maid

There was an old maid in the square 
Who tripped over her very long hair,
She grabbed a street lamp
Performed a pole dance
And everyone gave her a cheer.


An old man was approaching  that square
And he  tripped while descending the stairs
He did a cartwheel
Then tapped on his heels
Said Ginger, here’s your Fred Astaire!

The Stumble and Rise

I stumbled straight down by surprise,
To laughter and widening eyes-
But I jumped to my feet,
Made the misstep a beat
and waltzed as the crowd cheered my rise.

she is always bragging about her hick town
where everyone knows you and there is only one frown
I am from Texas where boasting is what we do
trying to outbrag this small- town girl is wearing me blue

Premium Member Every Mistake

I will never give up. I still have time.
I'll boldly go forth, whatever it may take.
The mountain of disaster, I will climb, 
until I've made every kind of mistake.

Premium Member On the Art of Pie-Throwing

Receiving a pie in the crown,
It just might occasion a frown.
But bear well in mind,
One always will find,
The target is never the clown.

Premium Member A Poem is an Artform

  
     A poem is an artform – 
       well, not always

    A poem is an idea –
       hmm, not necessarily

    A poem is all rhythm and rhyme
       Ha! What about ‘free verse’

    A poem is a thing of beauty
       --though some are pretty ugly

    A poem is a window to the writer’s soul
        --though not to Shakespeare’s, whoever he was… 

    O, A poem is what’s just been written 
        Whoever thinks he can explain one 
           ~ that person’s got to be kiddin’

Premium Member One Side of the Story

Adored by all the plants and trees,
but forsaken by his wife,
he loved the sound of a gentle breeze,
and gave the grasses life.
When she said, "time to mow the lawn",
he knew which side that he was on.
