Don't give a jot or
A sod this lot
On your tod..just nod
Seedier greedier leaders
Stun..Shun the Needier
Not just down trodden
Sodden...run roughshod
Beseech each of those clowns..down
In the dumps chumps who chose
Plumps for stealthy
Leeches who teaches
Fools at our schools
Only the wealthy can stay healthy
No education for the nation
Uses...abuses..eschews..media issues..then sues
Argy bargy - sarky malarkey ensues
Bemuses readers…forsake news as fake
It's a Maga Saga ruse for f**ks sake
No immigration...deplore integration
To restore order…close the border
Hardcore race riot diet of denigration
Likes 60's generation segregation
Damnation not salvation..just devastation

i don't hate you,
but i want to.
i don't hate you,
after all you put me through.
my memory,
like a picture frame.
the only time,
i can see your face.
your skin on mine,
between the sheets.
you've turned this in-
-to a sacred place.
you took my soul,
when you left me.
after promising,
you'd never walk away.
but here i am,
with all the scars.
nothing left,
but a broken heart.
i don't hate you,
but i want to.
no, i don't hate you,
after all you put me through.
i don't hate you,
but i probably should,
just know that i don't hate you,
but i would if i could...

"I'm short
I'm fat
I'm a wh*re
My a*s is too flat
I b*tch too much
And play too little
I'm nothing but a sl*t
Who f*ks for crystal
I'm never happy
Always sad
My hair is too nappy
I only make you mad
I suck in bed
Can't give good he*d
I'm not capable of making money
So I'm a thief instead
I'm ugly and disgusting
Nobody can trust me
I'm nothing but a h*e
Who f*ks for dr*gs and money"
So next time you decide
You might want to try to touch on me
Remember those words
The ones you've spoke of me
Because lies and accusations
May satisfy your conscience
But I'm not the one
Harboring skeletons in the closet

Find Father Farrell and Terrell
when over barrel
while incredible church is imperil
find (call) Father Farrell (Terrell)
Parish which we cherish would scream
when scalded with steam so it did see
when either having been suspectable to sterile
or fond of finding a pleasant parishioner
who has happened to ferociously find
that his friend was feral
which we knew would be infuriating
while humiliatingly absurd we have heard
Interesting. Old
priest in Wichita, KS
was Father Bob Terrell.

He sat upon a tree stump
Nestled high on a wheat covered hill
He contemplated life
And if he could find
More f#$ks to give
Patience is a virtue
He learns from his mistakes
But now he'll move in silence
With every decision that he makes
Though it feels
As if reality
Is tighting like a noose
The vail may drop a little lower
To reveal the truths he already knew
So his advice to the world
More so,
A forgotten youth
Perception is the key
Failure,
Is success,
That blooms

I love those
Who wait at my window
With perspectives to share
And paint the last leaf glowing green
Upon the dying tree
In the coldest winter.

how many times can a heart break?
how many times before the pieces don't fit together?
does time truly heal all wounds?
does it ever get better?
I don't think I could do this again,
don't think I could bear this type of agony.
I hate that this is what I've become,
an endless cycle of tragedy
the weight is all-consuming
a pressure that even substances can't shake
it's present even while I'm sleeping
borderline unbearable when I wake
I miss the life I used to have,
the one where I didn't care.
if a higher power does exist,
what made them think that this is fair?
honestly, how many times can a heart break?
how many times before the pieces don't fit together?
does time truly heal all wounds?
please tell me it gets better...

no one told me it would hurt like this.
like sandpaper scraping through my veins.
head pounding, body aching,
tied and bound with chains.
they never explained the pain I'd feel
or the way my body would shut down.
straining against a sea full of destructive things
and I fear that I might drown.
I don't think I can continue
this is far too much to bear
I crave the habits that numbed the pain
that pulled me out of this despair.
the pills used to set me free,
and I'd drink until I slept
now reality beats me down
the title of sobriety is the only thing I've kept
I miss the times I couldn't feel
the times I can't remember
I don't want to feel this way
just a blink away from a bender
being sober feels like torture
I need the drug-induced bliss
I know this is what's best for me
but no one told me it would hurt like this.

FIRST NAME
Te T tered experiences that stem within our being
Va R iating interest accordingly links us, implying accomplishment
Br U sh up of our trades supports us to encourage one another
Ch E ss diversions intensify our maneuvering
Ca F feine keeps us sculptured to be at our utmost best
Fo R bearers are distinct from us, as we share kindred souls
Co I nhered universal characters demonstrate our mirth
St E llar so-called quality of us remains immeasurable
Ha N dshakes transpires being extremely numerous to calculate
Me D als, trophies and other embellishments match our cases
LAST NAME
Al T ogether, we intertwine as a class
Bo O ks on bookshelves standing tightly in a row
Ar B oretums unifies the similarity of the spores
Sc O rpions collectively as a group is called a nest or bed
An N alists combine events of any particular year
Ba D men are those who do evil tied to a gang

This All Could Be
AtTractions of the urban surfer,
ExHibits at the shored enclaves,
AbIde the faithful their sole journey,
BaSking rays of summer's retreat,
CoAstal clutter of crowds roll on,
CeLebrities of the day made true,
LuLled breaks in surf even the tide,
NeCks swivels as eyes scouts the beach,
GoOd times are roaring inland,
MoUnting waves indulges the brave,
DeLving surfs stirs the underwater sands,
DaD's and mom's diligently relaxed a tad,
InBounds revitalize the distracted weary,
EvE set in submission of the day's exchange.

I'm not a race you'd dare to run,
Love no one's creed, God knows whose son,
Is life roulette or dominos?
Cross "T's," dot "I's, and slash zeros,
Improvements brought to Burning Bush?
I'm Rampant Straight, a Royal Flush!
Bloodsucker's victims love their stakes,
Don't ever learn from fortune's breaks,
Who loves the North when trouble's South!!
I flow, more river than a mouth
That swallows hope then spits remorse,
My droppings? Flagrant intercourse,
Won't beg for quarter, court no f**ks,
Capacitance? Magnetic flux!
Exploding vacuum - here and gone!
Content! Some call me Satan's spawn!

Honeymoon At Dodge City
Our honeymoon were on first day;
Overnight in Dodge City did stay;
Supper digested;
Then we rested;
Headed to Colorado without delay.
Jim Horn
That was on Augusy 27th, 1966.
We started out in Wichita, KS.
Garden City is on other side of
Dodge City. They both ar on the
Arkansas River. Dodge City is
having voting problems.

Mick Jagger
Mick Jagger has two rubber lips,
His body is made of elastic,
Swivel and swerve those ageing hips,
Replaced from recycled plastic.
