I refer you to my answer to a very good comment by our
Stalwart poet Joe Dimino.' You neef only Peel away to view..In the
Meantime i offer; all love to you.!
The Disabled.
You might be fit as fiddle
Yet be more disabled than the legless;
You might be as colourful as peacock
Yet be more disabled than dwarf;
You might be busy as bee
Yet be more disabled than shelless slug;
You might be champion of your world
And know your onions indeed-
But you do nothing to benefit
Your world and society in need;
Then you are the most disabled indeed.
Being disabled is barely a physical thing,
For if your mind or conscience is eroded,
And your psych corrupted; you are truly disabled.
Talk the Talk and Walk the Walk
Know Your Onions
Hey there Big Cheese
I think you are the bee’s knees
Not a bluenose or a flat tire,
But, ooh hardboiled & too Oliver Twist to resist
Let us skip the youths' rub & head far removed from the petting pantry
Share a jorum of skee at the local speakeasy
Now we are on the trolley!
Let us slowly ankle to the joint
I’m a copasetic-bearcat
Watch my gams, catch my point?
Oh hepcat I’ll get your handcuff or
This darb Sheba’s bank is closed for someone else
Butt me, you spiffy sheik
Cuz I’m stuck on you bimbo
Unleash
Know your onions & manacle this
Choice bit of calico,
You know you can’t resist
Then and then only will you wield me to your struggle buggy and
We’ll be jake!
The cat's pajamas!!
Berries!
