Long Down pat(p) Poems

“Die Another Day”


“Your mission, should you so deem it,
Is to infiltrate ALL Fluff Clusters in K.A.O.S. Headquarters
And bloody well steam it!”


“The Place is a hazardous mess of a trap
Over run with Double Agents, ulterior motives
Amorous...

You are sweet,
But yet realistic,
You have been through a lot,
But still haven't fell apart,

Your my prince,
That helps put stuff in place,
You ment my heart,
When something here goes wrong,

You make me laugh and smile,
When I feel...

There are rules she said.
Let’s break them, said I.
She was horrified, shocked,
A military woman, due or die.
 
We cannot she admonished me.
It’s the way it has to be.
I was horrified and shocked,
She was my daughter,...

Far from the throes with foes who dip acid,

but

still wiping flows from my nose, cooked by oil-based pros. The intensity grows, when it's mixed with White Whoes', and you come out yo' clothes, 'cause you're...

Well, at least it wasn't another hard fall. 

But when she said we were having two kids, it made my skin crawl. 

I mean, it's been so long since I've seen her, 

and we only...

Gravity keeps our feet on the ground,
Stops us from slapdash flying around.
This force of attraction ‘fictitious’ gives weight
And makes all fall down at equivalent rate.

(Albeit in flights of fancy it seems
That gravity follows the laws...

Sighed Adam to Eve:
“Because you were deceived,
Like a fool, I believed.
Sadly, all our conceived
Will be sorely bereaved.”

Well, that should be it, right?
No, boys and girls, not quite!

So you can hear what they were all up...

Melania spotted a louse
And caught a cab home sans her spouse
When Barron asked, "Why?"
She said with a sigh,
"Your father is in the dog house!"

Well, Ivanka soon learned the score
And despatched a nurse to the door
Nurse...

SILENT  LOVE

JOHN M. ARRIBAS




I waited too long I thought you’d always be here
When we all got together I would move to be near 
Its quite late now I’m afraid my dream may never come...

You are one cruel hearted man.
One too many for my life span.

You have inflicted one too many abuses.
I am so tired of your lousy excuses!

Whether it be with your mouth, fist, or actions
You found ways...

I don’t know who is more excited 
At the thought of my weekly visits
Me or the old folks at the residence

I bring along some cheerful music 
and we limber up their appendages 
Swinging about at...

why do you hate me?

You hate me because I stand up
(instead of lie down)

I tell the truth
(instead of contorting my lips, my life, my soul
to fit into your perfectly tidy little
story) 

Your perfect plan...

Everything that...

One Day I was listening to an old Cowboy song
My boots began to tapping & I began to sing along
A Cowgirl stepped to the mic & as she began to sing
It sounded like a falsetto...

Hip, cat, daddy-o 
Hey, what's cookin bro'
Man, I dig this groovy melody
It flows free. Baby
With the  harmony

Jimmy is "smokin'" tonight
Look at that cat, lickety split
He's a telescopic sight
It's crazy, man. I dig it
This cat's...

The pain of your love, pricks me to the bone
Like a pissed off praying mantis, I plead with tentacles
The pedigree of your love, powers me to a craze
Pumps my heart to a refill, primes my...

My love for you knows no bounds
An exquisite affair of the heart
Passionately addicted to the nth degree
Knew it right from the start

The signs were there for everyone to see
Google-eyed and mumbling away
Forgetting important meetings and...

You think you have me down pat
So, I’m going to move when you say this or that
Go scrub the rust from the pipes in your head
Can’t you remember I escaped your bed

Your heart engorged with...

Charmaine, the dear soul writes like an angel
Her poetry is beautiful and touching
She writes with a passion known to only a few
You'll find your heart you'll be clutching

Some just know how to create those phrases

I don’t remember much about our party line, only that we weren’t quite as bad off as what they showed on the Green Acres tv series. We didn’t have to climb a pole to make...

In youth, vacations lent my Summers wings
and Christmas gilded wintertime in gold.
I've aged (a bit) and love my Falls and Springs
for landing in between too hot or cold.
In time, I've learned it doesn't pay to...

You've heard tell the road to hell
Is paved with good intentions
I've been on that crew and so have you 
Do I even need to mention

I've held the measuring tape as you paved the way
The blacktop...

His hands shook as he sat
On the side of the muddy shell ridden road 
He had the makings of a cigarette down pat
But the shaking meant no smoke to ease his load

So he gave up...
