Boris

Well swollen boobies on bullocks Boris is boss
our nations Prime Minister at J Hunt's loss
some say a buffoon and they say it sinister
like the mans brain is only miniature 
think Corbyn the codfish would be better

Brexit, Labour and Lib Dem protestors
"it's another Prime Minister we haven't elected,
this isnt the person the people selected"
these thickheads argue their knowledge of politics...... 
you vote for the party not person you ricks

Boris played football tackled like rugby
once on top gear like the Crazy Froggy
we didn't no May was mad she's crazy
we can't do worse but some say maybe

Boris is mad we and him no that
can't put him down when he looks a prat
I will Corbyn cus he's a wat

As for Boris has he a wife?
you want to mock his private life
what are you doing with your life
pay attention to your own life

I think it needs filling like turkey
your innards and guts have been freed
shall we sprinkle breadcrumb or bird seed
look at his private life mate you're pervy
 
Stop making Downing street a frowned on street
with you in the seat it would be clowning street
rant repeat after your vote defeat
we want Brexit stopped please delete

Come on Boris bloody deliver
make Lib Dem babies shiver
they call themselves democrats
I say all of dem is crats
truth is dreams need to be shattered
the Lib Dems have never mattered

So Holy bullocks with boobies and tails
every politician always fails
Churchill the last one to do well
beating Europe let's repeat that tale 

I must admit it's a tangled story
I'm loving Boris
hating the Tories

13 Foot Away

I'm 13ft away looking down in this hell Im in
Man i think I'm drowning,things are looking up too, no clowning around man,
if you come at me with false words then **** you, i did without love, stacked hate as pain in bank accounts,
As I remain the one looking and seeing everything backwards
The Lord never dealt with me harshly, you wants fact here,
I receive more mercy in one day then u received last year
but it aint my fault just ask Him
If you disagree It's Okay Im still saying **** you
Not like im right about it or seeking your trust here
so trust them, hold your nuts on me, 
when u see me u keep your mouth shut
Oh you thought u could crush them]
what you an enemy me of mine" respect my motha****in boundries

Premium Member Holding On

Purposely off center, on tippy toe.
What a feat; completely nuts.
Tummy tuck, umbrella in hand,
just clowning around; on the brink
of a niagara fall. Tintinnabulation of
power, provoking an audience cower;
…over the rainbow it seems.
                            The audience holds on for dear life.

Colors blossoming like sunbursts.
Muscling up courage to close my eyes.
The ringing in my mind, an eruption
of a pale face, red honker, on the edge.
Blinking umbrella with ab rise and fall.
What was I thinking? Can’t turn back,
losing my grip, decentralized.
                           The audience holds on for dear life.

She Is the Arts

today at two
thirty two pm
eastern standard
time i decided to give

up writing
poetry and take
to scraping paint on
a canvas or at least a board

stepping off of
her pillar she 
offered her
self to

take a pose and
model those frozen hours 
for a still life on canvase that 
ran out lastly as i collapsed on to these

those that
she danced 
with ballerina 
ease taking me 

to piano keys to 
unlock what mystery
the metronome clock would
tick in adagio talk time and i

realized i hadn't
found how to express
her and so spun a wheel and
filled it with a mound of clay minus

her not having a rib 
bone she turned
on her own 
letting my

fingers fill in form but
deformed and not 
what i was trying
to form from

the dirt of 
earth for her
birth was complicated
making her mad and made 

her jump into a cast 
iron frying pan where
though i a chef served 
her well as a delicacy that 

all would agree but she
not tasty enough so
she punched me 
and then we

went to the martial
arts and then to
any and every
art form there

was and she
was with me
juggling and
clowning

around for
without
finding
her it

was
her
that i

Men Cry

Where me cry,
Men don't drink much;
Where me stare
Till eyes are sore;
Women never come,
How did this one do!

Coming to me, she wears
Denims, short to show off
Beautiful legs;
I am busy clowning around for you.

She does not sleep,
Dreaming wishing I could be,
Making love to her;
I am busy begging to make you smile.

She call me at odd hours,
She has never seen any like me;
Yet I have never seen
One like you!

She calls my mother,
Your son loves another not me,
I have tried all I can do,
I even pay for his rent;
But his heart is stuck on another.

Where men cry!

Sober -Part 1-

You know…I like drinking, 
But I’m not sure I like drunk. 
Because then I’m stuck thinking 
About the depths to which I’ve sunk. 

All the insults I let loose from my lips. 
Saying whatever to make sure a balance tips. 
Mistruths spoken and stories just made up. 
Maybe if I put the glass down I could trade up. 
Maybe i could shine more clearly, like light through perfect glass 
And maybe I’d stop stumbling and sounds over my lips could cleanly pass. 
Because I hate what I’ve said in an inebriated state. 
So I think I’ll chill for a minute; actually think straight. 

I hate what I’ve decided to bet when I’m drowning 
And it’s probably high time I stop fooling around and clowning. 
 Because 1-20 isn’t a funny number when I’m behind the wheel, 
And the bottle we just bought already has a broken seal. 
So instead of starting ignition by turning some keys, 
Perhaps, instead of vodka, I’ll drink in the mountains, trees, and breeze. 

I’m an anxious person, that can’t be denied, 
And I thought that liquor could help me hide. 
But anxiety becomes paranoia, which either spirals to angry or sad, 
And I don’t like the paranoid person I am when I’m drunk and I’m mad. 
Trust and loyalty mean nothing to a poison-drenched mind, 
And though no evidence exists, I’ll make it up, then that I’ll find. 
And I would like to have that all be avoided. 
So I think my future alcohol purchases can be voided.

Premium Member A Grin from Ear to Leer

I wear a smiley face, the sad world to cheer,
With a red smile painted across my face from ear to ear.
My shoes are monstrous, my laugh billows, raucous out loud.
I'm the jester dancing in your face to please the crowd.

But deep within this masked disguise of paint,
Something inside has died, that's neither funny, silly nor quaint.
For the tears painted on my face are not fake but real,
For I cannot shed the dark cloud's doom, and its thunderous peal.

Playing the fool, clowning around is a shield,
For the somber dark sadness felt within and revealed,
When the tears of clowns roll down my painted cheeks.
Warm, wet and fresh, as the sadness within wells-up, and bleats.

Premium Member Behind Cryptic Doors

Clumsily tripping, over our own feet
Sometimes, minds aren't meant to meet
perhaps we're off just a micro beat
thoughts obscured, behind glass covered in sleet

Sure there are those, who wish to exploit
but really in the end, what's the point?
We're all merely visitors, in this joint
Trying our best, with words to annoint

Cloisterd in shadows, wanting to be found
glimmers of earlier selves, clowning around
When others laugh, why do our fears compound?
Downturned mouths, strangled crying sounds

Embarrassing moments, last an eternity
Sometimes I'm my very worst enemy
Thinking hidden messages, are meant for me
Is that what poetry is meant to be?

I let essential words, roll off my lips
Credentials have no taste, when I take deep sips
Preferring a message, from a page that drips
My mind unfocused, takes many trips

I like the power, of words intrinsic
Flavors and texture, is what I like to lick
If it's too saccharin and sweet it makes me sick
My pleasure comes, from words hot and thick

So you see, I too like to word explore
Words found, behind a cryptic door
I start upright, end up on the floor
Keep on reading, until I can't absorb anymore!

Premium Member Clowning Around-..Not!

The boy was only four years old
but he’d watched Scoobey Doo
Seen them chase many a monsters
who’d escaped at the zoo.

The October sun was soon down.
His parents day was through.
His Mom had hand sewn his costume
SHE thought he looked real cute!

The boy was only four years old
but even small men new;
you didn’t stop the mean monsters
as a clown at the zoo!

In many stripes of red and white
a white ruff at his neck;
he thought of Shaggy and Thelma
and monsters soon on deck…

The boy was only four years old
HE can make a RATTLE!
So, he ran into the kitchen
for an empty soda bottle.

A few small stones dropped down the neck
some yarn made it dangle
and he’d made a fine hoodoo charm
and bring it to battle!

He’d seen Shaggy fighting zombies
witch doctors in their day.
He’d watched Scoobey scare the monsters
He knew just how to play!

Frankenstien and Dracula 
frightened kids in his line 
but when they came to that cute clown
HE scared THEM you’ll find!

He shook his homemade hoodoo charm
and watched them skedaddle
cause theirs nothing quite so frightenin’ 
as a MAD CLOWN with a rattle!

A Futile Race

much of humanity magnetised by 
             hollow yellow sheen shine
feels kind, divine, sublime —- 
  such energies enlarge into  
                                     desires
acquires, attires, identifiers
                           sallow 
                           hollow — 

it liquid floats in dreams upon streams
                           glittering downstream  
nuggets that suck muck — brings no
                                            joyful luck

vain it transmutes purity 
                                          into insecurity 
illusions becoming sureties 
              as Midas asked for everything 
              to turn to gold
              many enter this foolish fold

…….  …….


save these oh ALL from drowning 
                           in glowing frowning 
clowning ___
                       howling bloodied 
gold running thick brings drownings ! 
                             
oh ALL ! let pointless futile races become 
                   pauses for peace facing 
                   godly causes .... acing

let shores of spirits restful pulse
                 heartbeats escorted by 
                             angelic applauses 
                              
          let gloomy gold unshackle
         morphing
creation becoming not mere dwarfing

             races for hollow gold 
                can alchemise bold
                                     into veracity 
                                           w i s d o m 
                                              c a p a c i t i e s ~
