Aging

Problems with my joints
Problems with insomnia
Problems with my memory
Problems with my concentration
Problems with my energy levels
Problems with my taste buds
Problems with desire

Getting old is one big problem
One problem after another
This problem isn’t for the faint of heart
Well, at least I am still alive
And able to write bad poetry!!

Joints

The sound sometimes my
joints make when I walk is 
often compared to a 
gun going off with the help of 
compressed air.

My 120 pound house guest

He's an elder now so don't dare forget.
He has special needs and they need to be met..
Always been a hot boy so keep the thermostat down,
or he'll gulp too much water and in urine you'll drown..
Never was a barker but now lets you know.
Better pay attention or he'll just let it flow..
The laminated flooring makes

out of all the gin joints

out of all the gin joints in Chicago
she had to choose this one
she had an uncanny likeness to the woman he had lost
he could not stop staring

Assessing Joints

Swollen knees bring
fears of blocked tubes -- 
harbingers of destruction,
cold limbs, looming amputations.

Swollen knees bring
alternate explanations for pain –
cysts maybe? fears subside.
maybe just an infection…

Swollen knees bring
reminders of aging frames.
age-related deterioration,
speaks of a well-ripened life.

Swollen knees bring
streams of gratitude for
the many things knees can do.
joints of thanksgiving breaking through…

Brand New Joints

If I must run for my life, I’m a dead duck
These old worn-out hips will give out quick
Time came when my arthritis was undeniable
When I walk now,  I hear my knees click.
I’m thinking I should consider replacements
Those newfangled techniques are superb,
I saw an old lady with brand new hip joints
Kick an unwitting purse snatcher

Bic

Their lighters

     allow me to smoke

  joints and cigarettes

that inspire depressing poetry

      written in their pens' ink,

which I cut myself to with

  their razors.

                    

17 Joints

(Against Marijuana)

*How many do you take a day?*
The journalist asked in a joking tone.

*Seventeen ni o*
The teenager replied.

Seventeen times he smoked that day.
A routine that continues till this moment.

Like an exhaust pipe,
He kept up the smoke emissions.

Like Sango, the Yoruba mythological god of thunder,
His eyes burned red and his mouth spouted fire.

One puff among friends

360 Joints To Thank

Three hundred and sixty joints in the human body,
To stand,
To sit,
To bend,
To stretch,
To fold,
To hear,
To see,
To talk,
To walk,
To think,
To thank God!

Clip Joints

Used to be I got haircuts for two bits,

      Along with a shave and hair tonic spritz,

          From the barber bawdy jokes

               Juicy gossip from town blokes!

Of All the Gin Joints In the World

They say that living is a disgrace
those who worship the dead
I never felt that way
I love the adventure of life
it does not contaminate my soul
the way it does my body

the Gestapo order the violins
while the Marsellaise plays
I dance to different songs

I was younger, many years ago
and never afraid of things
then wave, after wave of fear

Clip Joints

You can give up that nasty habit if you try.
Just think of all the things your money will buy.
Each one of those houses is a den of debauchery.
They are clip joints just out to get your money.
When you dump at the tables or feed the machines,
the end result is usually some egregious scenes. 
If you

Are Fast Food Joints To Blame For Obese Kids

Fast Food Joints to Blame for Obese Kids?

By Elton Camp


McDonald’s is sometime singled out for blame
Of other similar places we can claim the same

Their food is filled with calories, fat and salt
And to eat such worthless tripe, nobody ought

But to say this is the main reason kids are fat
It would be very hard to go

Joints

joints, bend or stay straight

rivers, turn or overflow banks

eyes, see forever.
