Scam Likely a Phone Salesman

Scam Likely called me eleven times yesterday
Fifty-two times this week
I do not pick up
I used to though

When I was younger sales calls were a personal challenge to me.
I wanted to see if I could make them hang up first.
Salesman: Do you own your own home?
Me: No, but I would love to. Can you send me

Now I Am More Likely To Say Yes

Would you like to see the prettiest spider in the whole world?
I said “No!” over and over.
Finally agreeing, because my week had been boring.
The spider was more beautiful than expected.
I took photographs of it.
It was a gorgeous combination of yellows, navy, pinks and turquoise.
I ended up winning a prize for these photographs.
Now I am more

Scam Likely

My I-phone rang yesterday; it was a number I did not know
Next to it words read “Scam likely”
how many people would race to answer this one?
I rolled my eyes, glad for a modern day phone.
In the olden days we would have salesmen all the time.
Trying to sell us siding, cars, a new modern mop.
I used

A Likely Story

I hope I'm not a Silly Cow
Sitting here and wondering how
This phrase came into being.
Take a Gander means a look or seeing
Talking Turkey means to speak the truth'
Simpleton is a silly Gooth.
I'm still sitting here and wondering why,
As I watch a flight of Pigs fly by

Page 183 More Likely

He pushed her rapidly to the edge so many times
But she was a good girl, she told herself, shutting out her grandma’s voice
Poison him! Her grandmother urged. Showing her which herbs to gather.
His anger filled the room, wrote despair on the walls of her soul.
Still she ignored the voice, because she was from the Bible

Tragedy Is This Child Likely Exists

In my bed I lay
Here I want to stay
Let my mind wander astray
In to an ordinary day.
 
My father persists
‘Up now, you will be late for school’
He greets me with another
Breakfast to go.
Pops is on the porch
Readying my bike
For a quick get away
Granny rocks in her chair
Chuntering away.
I run out, running late
Granny grabs me
‘Lucky girl’

There Is Where Most Likely You Will Find Me

On a winter or fall’s eve, dark and deep,
snuggled in my bed, I’ll be fast asleep,
but online (if Sandman acts unkindly);
there is where most likely you will find me!

In spring or summer, I’ll be having fun
just sitting with my pen beneath the sun
on my patio writing poetry.
There is where most likely you will find me.

Likely Hardly

Hardly...
If good times do roll
Likely...
Do bad times if holds

Too often...
We only speak the likely words
And hardly we listen....
Dare I say we know the when... heard

We change...
Perhaps when finally we digest
Did we maintain...
When the living knows no rest

Unspoken...
We matured to shut up
Re-awoken
Our changing world is an ever changing doubt

Likely...
Will bad times be gone
Hardly...
Do good times we

A Likely Friendship

It is early on in life that Pride meets Ego. In 2nd grade in fact. Pride sits quietly admiring the gold star at the top of his drawing. Ego, sitting close by, slaps Pride on the back, lifts him into the air and tells him he deserves it. They become immediate friends. As they spend

A Likely Tale

A  LIKELY  TALE



Husband beetle gets  home late 
Not just at seven but well after eight
Wife asks, what’s your excuse
For being  on the loose?

Well,  I just got inside a window pane
And couldn’t get back out again
I  guess  I  musta  dozed
Cos when I woke up it was closed
Then

The One Least Likely

The One least likely to understand, 
Was the One who knew the most 
On broken knees, I cannot stand, 
But haunt, do I, as wraith or ghost 
The One least likely to be subtle, 
Was as gentle as a Lamb 
And, Oh! My emotions, deeply muddled- 
Woe is me is all I am!

Maybe An Iota, More Likely Just a Jot

Does God care? I think
Not… but if she does care… she
Doesn’t care a lot

The Most Likely To Succeed

All the windows down.
Shades drawn.
Door locked.
Against the imitation mahogany, a little manila card:
"Check out time:  3 o'clock."

Click!
All dark now.
Hmmmmm.
The Wizard Deluxe 16" Oscillating Fan
makes a lot of noise.
Click.
It's too cool anyway.


Whew!  Those ugly flowers on the rug!
I can almost smell them.
And the bedsprings creak.

What am I doing here...
the Big Guy...
