It’s not for lack of intelligence
My inhibitor is on the fritz
A frontal lobe phenomena
I’m prone to gaffes and fits
My amygdalae are loaded
A hair trigger set to snap
Sometimes words escape me
Like rats outsmarting a trap
Brunswickian Who Bloviates
I once had known some sloppy Senator
With loose running mouth needing an inhibitor
And my view of was really quite very vivid
What he loved to do was make people livid.
He often embroiled and then would bloviate
Understand what this meant had to educate
Us so that we could recognize a mannequin
Of someone who looked like a Brunswickian.
A Brunswickian who bloviates here and there
Being afraid he has give up his fair share
So we will have to put your name on file
For auction from the Louie Lewis trash pile.
Must be from Bolivia to understand all of this
In Brunswick County or your just may miss
Each and every point I have been making
What next is the county cooking up and baking?

PS Bloviating and blow harding are both the same thing.
I'm planting a rose today,
a knock-out rose
for you, dear friend.
My hands wield the shovel,
crumble and sift the soil,
sprinkle weed inhibitor,
settle with water,
and scatter mulch,
as I think of you.
The rose bush steadies down,
assents to your ownership
its limbs posing petals
of pink, white, and salmon,
as varied and beneficial
as the gifts you bring.
Your art, your photos,
your words bestow peace,
benevolent as quiet rain
on a warm summer day.
Palma Christe Uses
Food additive and flavoring agent no wonder we get sick now
Mold inhibitor agree with this one mold could not survive in its presence
Ingredients in skin care products like lipstick_don't lick those lips so much
Part of the seed contains a potent toxin called ricin which is deadly poison
An infection lingered after doctor's visit
Momma said castor oil the solution
Grape flavored slime
Gag, gag, nausea
Vomit, vomit, vomit, vomit
Cough, cough, cough
Diarrhea all night
Now two illnesses, upset stomach and snotty nose
Thank God no longer used as a medical treatment
How could anyone give poison to a person anyway
