Black Jack
"The dealer cheated!" You cry to deaf ears Or at least, ears that need some aid "The game makers should've by now retreated, You will keep in mind my tears When you pay for what I paid." Honey, the world doesn't work remotely like that It won't turn in your favor when you play Blackjack The masses are cruel, they'll ridicule you like...

was the whiskey and the jazz playing On too many black nights with too Many lonely women and not a poem Between them How many times can you run From the shadow of the voices that Surround you Beating like drums in the darkness Tasting more of your flesh each time Not leaving enough for a man to breathe No way for a man to...

The rain that had been falling all morning had dissipated but dark clouds still covered the sky. For some unknown reason she glanced at the clock and noted the time Simultaneously the clouds parted and the sun streamed in through the large bay window Filling the room with light and warmth It only lasted a few minutes then...

Josh Moore of South Dakota Why is God Love Jack?
Oval day broke and hunger looking for $5 meal Walk into the discount store. Food fossils line the shelves, with beverages stacked in dusty years and bread petrified with mold, hard for two weeks. Jesus sings to shoppers from the boombox. Nero mocks Biden for losing to Caesar. They ban weed and *********** but hand...

Premium Member Step the Road Jack
A young man would strut round the office block Thinking he was god's gift, come from fine stock But his hip wiggle Made the girls giggle If only he'd known how the staff would mock. Plainly seeking some office romances But the fool of a man spoilt his chances At an office do He was stuck like glue To the boss's wife, making...

Premium Member Refurbished Nursery Rhymes: Jack Be Nimble
...or Jack be walking funny for a while... Jack was nimble, And Jack was quick, But he miscalculated That candlestick. It was skinny and tall, He was thick and quite small. When he lit, It was with an undignified bump, With a blister The size of his fist on his rump. Then a notion occurred To this game little actor, Before he tries it again, Jack will use a...
