On tariff Vs taarif

Trump’s top gun that has been tariff
That caused him to skid off the cliff, 
He, unwise of its woes,
Gung ho, gaga who goes,
Still hopes for vain waah and taarif!
Now, his move gone haywire,
On reverse gear, rear fire,
Mighty worried he’s of what if.

More Than A Soft Toy

for-More Than A Soft Toy Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Natasha L Scragg 

there once was a child from Adelaide,
who had a teddy called Marmalade.
taking each other by the hand,
they roamed imaginations land:
there, they never turned scared or afraid.

this world they only had each other,
no mother, father or big brother.
on a tandem they would ride,
or they`d walk side by side;
in this world for two, and no other.

they fought a fire breathing dragon,
and rode in an old cowboys wagon.
played with a stegosaurus,
hand fed a brontosaurus;
then fought another fiery dragon.

they took a rocket ship to mars,
and flew all around shining stars.
met a Martian green,
who was kind, not mean;
so took him, in their big space car.

adventures must finally end,
when the sleep fairy calls you friend.
she will take you by the hand,
to enter into her land;
then you`ll say, a happy amen.

What the tea leaves reveal

From a loud-mouth, world’s cease-fire arranger
To desperate man as if in manger,
Who when naught was rendered,
Panned, having surrendered,
And what is worse than that,
For a rival to bat,
Dubbed as salesman and Putin’s messenger!

Note: Meeting between Trump and Putin in Alaska.  Boasts galore and no more boats to reach the coast across! Putin conceded little, trump ceded his boasts, reduced from being a realtor president to a salesman and messenger to relay Russian terms to EU and Ukraine. But the deal maker that he is, Trump might still get Russian oil to flow in the world easing prices, access rare earths from Ukraine, and his coveted Nobel peace prize.

Premium MemberWhere's the Beef?

Sickle speckled like deckles of beef

Girl freckled gave my pickle relief

She pecked on my schmeckle

Like Heckle and Jeckle

Then deep beneath erupted a queef


It grew and blew my shoe out to sea

But soon I knew was coming for me

As the gas flew higher

It lit my ass on fire

A Roman Candle I seemed to be 


Flame stung the cats, it cut 'em like knives

Wind flung the rats, they ran for their lives 

Red turds swelling the eye

Dead birds fell from the sky 

The news predicts that no one survives

Premium MemberThat bite of that cake

I know her well, and she knows me too well,
the way we two talk, the whole town can tell,
ten years wed, fire she spits,
drives me crazy, out of wits, 
how wedding cakes can change heaven to hell!


Premium MemberNature’s Tricks

Butterless flies flutter by
and dragons without fire fly.
	Over and under, 
	curious wonder.
Nature’s tricks do mystify.

Limericks Written In A Country Churchyard

There once was a sensitive vicar,
who said, "I'm not one to bicker,
but the peal of that bell,
makes me feel quite unwell,
and plays merry hell with my ticker."

An incensed old soul by the spire,
preaching incense-igniting to the choir,
exclaimed, "There is but one catch,
when striking a match,
don't set your surplice on fire."

A parson spoke from the nave,
"Spend all you can, do not save,
if you've spilled all the sands,
and still have time on your hands,
you can't take it with you to the grave."

A wise minister in the kirk,
enlightened, observed with a smirk,
"When it's dark out there,
put your hands in the air,
as many hands make light work.”

Premium Memberand how are we feeling today?

Can readers or authors foresee 
Freed up manic moods and more glee?
Mixed-up word orphans
Induce endorphins
Without a psychiatrist’s fee

OR

What do poem authors desire?
Freed up manic moods and less ire!
We rhyme word orphans
To boost endorphins
So psychiatrists we can fire

Premium MemberHot to Trot

She's the hottest girl I've ever had 

Wet head to toe and scantily clad

I felt flames of desire

But I put out her fire

That's what my Mom said about my Dad


Guess acorns don't fall far from the tree

She explained why when talking to me 

You're a really nice guy 

And you gave it a try

But it takes more time than one...two...THREE

Premium MemberPurim Theorem!

Purim Theorem!

Rambam holds Hashem is math,
Hashem does not take a path,
Like “Squaring the Circle”,
Such is illogical,
Yet the Zohar differs on Hashem’s craft!

Witness the Aron anomaly,
Giving rise to a homily,
Finite length & width yet zero volume,
Boggling the mind, yielding it solemn,
Evoking Emunah more than normally!

Size yet no volume?
Anomaly! as in Shalom,
Moshe saw that the “Burning Bush”,
Was unconsumed, he didn’t silence: Hush!,
Risking ridicule, courage to be alone!

Moshe saw water & fire combine,
Hashem’s Shalom nonintuitively align,
Illogic surprise from mire,
Despair be gone!  Lost? A Divine sign!

Purim, 339 Before Common Era,
Hashem again was a true “Chevra”,
Upending Haman’s goose,
In a long necked noose,
Saving the Yidden from an evil schema!

Arrogance vanquished,
Anomaly? Yes by logic languished,
Expect the unsuspected,
Human reason dissected,
Headstand of man anguished!

“Shemayim’s” Burning Bush is a hymn,
Let the “Olam” Hear Him,
Again no novelty,
“Chiddush” renewal, an end to “Evilty!”
All Adds Up to Purim Theorem!

Dumpster Fire Poetry

There once was a poet so dire,
Whose verses set readers afire.
With chaos unbound,
No rhythm or sound,
They called it a dumpster fire!

Premium MemberX Rated - bawdy

With my girlfriend in tip top condition
To film sex scenes for late television
She got sick in bed
So I went instead
And was heckled with spiteful derision

Well their laughter had made me feel silly
As I stood there butt naked and chilly
They said, “Get a hair dryer,
Or an electric fire,
For you sure need to warm up that willy.”

The director called three naked geezers
Who he said were real audience pleasers
Then he looked at my lot
And said, “Let’s get this shot,
With my new close up lens… and some tweezers.”

Grabbed a sock and ran home in the nuddy
And I tripped in a field, wet and cruddy
But I’d slipped on the sock 
So my girl got a shock
When just one bit of me wasn’t muddy

*

That’s my self respect gone for a burton…
Then the morning sun shone through my curtain
I awoke in my bed
“Only dreaming,” I said
But I took a quick peek to be certain

Premium MemberDumpster Fire


To sell smart trash bins a man George did hire,
but loss loomed large, put him in dumpster fire.
          He promptly fired the dumb man,
          became a keen garbage fan,
saved his business going downright haywire.

Premium MemberHot Trash

The queen of rubbish raised her man’s ire
By not calling the king of trash, sire
She just refused
His ‘Royal Refuse’
So he raged into a dumpster fire


For Dumpster Fire Contest
fun

Premium MemberDumpster Fire

In a dumpster at a house close to me
were the contents of a home bourgeoisie. 
In the night, it caught fire,
which did fill me with ire;
was gonna dive for a velvet settee!
