Cy Tries to Impress Parents

Cy the snail comes a courting with tulips and daisies fine.
they must be for me, yelled Cybil, they are all mine!
They are for your mother, snail told her. Keep your hands off.
Her daddy tried to warn the snail with a subtle cough.

But the snail was obstinate and did not take a clue.
He gave Cybil’s other the tulips in lavender and pretty blue.
Trying to make a good impression, but lost Cybil in the deal.
She refused to go on the date, even though it meant a free meal.

Did Butterfly Princess Impress You

Butterfly princess landed in the garden on a warm May day
She isn’t local, must be from an ever land far far away
Her gown was refined, with corals, lavenders and sky blue
She had dainty features, and wore a silver bell on each shoe.

Tinkling while she walked, she approached the lilies first.
They needed a drink, so she stopped and quenched their thirst.
The tomatoes needed weeding, so butterfly princess did that too
She impressed the radishes and carrots. How about you?

Nah it aint that
if you wanna be
real and all
you tell me to
call you on the telly
you never pick up
when I call
Change the definition
of Love
to yo' own conveyance
All that woman is
ricca monroe jazz
Dude tryna build
a relationship
ya'll say he either moving
too slow
or he moving to fast

You're still the one
the only one
top-me, number one
on toppa the stack
Don't you label me
as someone your
freinds can relate too
for real you know me better
than that

Your single freinds 
act real strange
they use to smile
Said I wanna baby
now everythings changed
aint no tippin out
if you go you gone
your momma taught you
right from wrong
don'n me
to find another
I aint your freind
and I aint your other

We done vowed
our marrage bed

Dress to impress!- bawdy humour

My sister got married in white
Gran commented, “That isn’t right -
You are no virgin bride
That’s YOUR son by your side
You should have kept your legs shut tight!”

Inked Impress

We are as we were before,
But you inspire me more.

Any real poet knows you're with us or against us,
Together we're one.
The world will wonder what's wrong,
When our work here is done.

We honor the new,
We honor the old.
We do as we say.
We say as we're told.

We know the answer and it goes without saying,
Peace of mind in our work,
Moral compass not straying.

I have yet searched for your name but see you none the less,
I created this writing to honor your consistent quality,
I must admire,
I must Confess.

It doesn't impress me much

It doesn't impress me much
If you are felty rich
And money is your God
Also you will be miserable
Because you will have
Lot's of headaches
Looking after money
It doesn't impress me much
You are only interested in people
Who have money to be your friends
You despise the poor people
It doesn't impress me much
If you own a Porsche
I am a poor man
And I can't afford a car like you
I take public transit
Every where I go
It is much cheaper

- Impress Mother-in-law -

                                  It takes maximum five seconds
                                        to open the dishwasher, 
                                    place the cup in the machine
                                           and close the door

                                           When my husband
                                           puts the coffee cup 
                                            in the dishwasher
                                         It's not about the cup 
                                            by the sink ... but

                                             Wait a minute ...
                                                was it today
                                       my mother was coming ?

Sandwiches To Impress

His mother went the extra mile
Spending hours after others went to bed
Creating sandwiches shaped like frogs
Baking cakes that resembled dinosaurs

Today Mat’s lunch was butterfly sandwich
Created from raisins, carrots and cucumbers
He traded it to his friend Willy
Loving Willy’s peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

Feeling jealous of Willy who had a playful kind mother
Wishing his mother would spend less time trying to impress
Wanting her time, wishing she would listen or play a game
She was too busy with her job and her sandwich creating

How To Impress Your Mother-In-Law

Try not to roll your eyes
when she is giving helpful hints
of how she does everything.

Make sure her son (your hubby) 
calls her every Sunday 
and offer  to help her with her gardening chores
even though you detest everything
to do with gardening

Take her a cooked casserole 
every week, and sit and watch
her favorite TV show with her.
It’s the little things that count more

And let her boast about her roast
and how he(her son) loves her cooking the most.
After all, one day, you too

will be a Mother-in- Law. 

An aside: This is purely fictional and written 
to a prompt - to write a How to poem.
I actually loved my Mother-in-Law and we got along 
famously.  I was heart broken when she passed away.

Impress With Words and Wine

In his speech always some difference,
Even while it is tea conference.
Often for the No-Nonsense Meeting.
Where one must check Effusive Greeting;
Raising the notion of deference:
Stanley’s robust search for reverence.
And for quotes to minds a reference…

But Wit is beginning to Ear ache,
In the past served and much was cake ;
Wit changed to Dollar had dropped naught,
His speech ready, he’s with eyes fought;
“Talks are better ended with French wine
And the population, here, needs nine.”

Less

Less 

I dressed to impress 
But I felt less
You see I attracted 
The senseless 
Who thought I
 was 
Worthless
My wardrobe was endless
But they were 
merciless 
So 
regardless
I threw it all away. 
Including their 
opinions

And became  priceless 
Cloth-less
Naked

Dress At Officers Mess

You may any nearby mess
Some tomorrow access
Just to cleanly assess 
Their customary dress …

Still it is an easy guess,
What they wear at officers’ mess:
More of a liberating mufti than less;
The Civilly Military for Easeful Recess …

A body cover to unfailingly bless
But fail to grant “A Dress”,
Because it does slowly impress
And wearer’s skeleton does stress …

But wisely they wear at the mess
What you wash and need not press.

Impress Me

I am not impressed by beauty anymore, for it is not difficult nor extraordinary to turn someone on
I am not impressed by fame anymore, for it is not impossible or improbable to take the spotlight now
However if you have the knowledge to work on my soul, to stimulate my mind in ways others have failed, well that’s Triumphant, that’s impressive, that’s magic to me

Paradoxes

Whomever you’ve detained 
You’ve retained,
Whatever you’ve maintained
Equally sustained,
The feeling you repressed  
You also suppressed; 
The person you depressed 
You haven’t at all impressed.

One is with another already in battle 
When brought into play one’s mettle;
There will still be new protesting “moos” to settle, 
When you’ve started grazing long unfed cattle.  

Any time your lips make a plosive 
You’ve acted like an explosive; 
Your siblings you fend 
You nutritionally defend; 
Whenever you’ve started one praising 
You are a morale raising 
And some self doubts erasing; 
Not just words phrasing. 

And when you rant 
Your desire near their grant 
Just as when your tiredness you pant
 People now know you “can’t”
