Long Chug Poems

‘Round eight o’clock this morning I was sitting in our kitchen,
Wondering what the best way was to occupy my day,
When, “Wha’d’ya’ want for breakfast, dear,” Connie suddenly asked,
Which took me by complete surprise…I didn’t know...

From Westerbork transit camp in the Nederland.

Getting stuck sucks
Call it tough luck
You must be nuts
I don't know you enough
So why would I just
Put very much trust
In someone that already bluffed
Over petty stuff

Mosquitoes and flies starting to buzz

Not-So-Heroic Couplets
by Donald Trump
care of Michael R. Burch 

To outfox the pox: 
kill yourself first, with Clorox!

And since death is the goal, 
mainline Lysol! 

No vaccine?
Just chug Mr. Clean!

Is a cure out of reach?

Now doors were all closed, without single crack,
The father exposed, with son was to black,
Inside of a lorry.

Surrounded with fruit, they trembled from cold,
For clothes from Beirut, which little warm hold,
Too thin were and hoary.

Shame on you for dismissing the phrase as cliche.
Tough we might hear the slogan a thousand times this year;
Remember for just a moment,
		There's a meaning
Behind the words that fall bountiful
		And beautiful on a stubborn pair...

Tick tock the grandfather clock
Briefly stops before it pops
Twelve times then it will be midnight

That has fallen on hump day this year

It's three in the morning
And I was awakened by 
An extreme thirst. In the night
It's hard to tell just how thirsty
You really are. It's not so easy
To sneak downstairs to get a drink.
Tiptoeing past my...

I always knew the cider mill was across the road,
Down a little ways from Grandma's house.

The afternoon sun was shining hot; 
The side of the road was dusty.

At least we thought as much.
His lower lip was loaded, 
A three finger dip of snuff…
My mind said, “I think not.”

And he claimed to be a rider,
Bragging of his chaps.

The lazy consciences
of the long yawn, credulity class
work so hard
to be an American Idle

“Care less” is their toga motto

You gotta have Roman candle aspiration
Pleb effigy be the
