Superman

My dad told me when he was young
And fit as fit could be
As the best Saharan lumberjack
He cut down every tree

He rode a wild dinosaur
From York to Timbuctu
He took it back to London
And put it in the Zoo

Then later on in World War two
The German horde he beat
With just his trusty penknife
He forced them to retreat

He’s swam the Indian ocean
Ate crocodiles for tea
Paddled up Niagara falls
And still got home by three

I relate my fathers exploits
Friends give me such a ribbing
They say his tales are tall ones
And that my dad is fibbing

But I know my dads not lying
There is no way he can
I know my dads not fibbing
He’s a real life superman

Premium Member April Fooling Around

April Fools is on the new horizon 
When the next time the sun rises 
There will be innocent fibbing and lying 
Is it a prank, a joke? 
Or just a forum for one to stand up to insult? 
It is a whole day dedicated to giving 
Laughter an opportunity to make a better living 
Hopefully the day will be relaxed 
And nobody will face the issue of being sacked 
Beware of the pen 
With the exploding ink it could send 
Then there could be an alluring call 
That rings inside the working stall 
Look at things closer 
Especially if the reading is off the informative poster 
All in all a good little spook 
Could end up as a romantic hook 
And as time carries on 
From the flirty spring fling con 
He could walk down the aisle to say ‘I do’ 
Allowing her to reply, “April Fools on you”

Narcissistic Commitment

People don’t think of you the way that you like 
who do you think you’re conning when talking all that ite 
blagging everybody you come into contact with 
proud of the first opportunity to take advantage of gifts
boasting about your blagging skills as if you ain’t known as a blagger who can’t be trusted with anything always a late giver backer
when the first impression you make shifts to a shady replacement 
to never reappear after that first meeting you’re different 
and when debts ain’t paid you never blame yourself 
you go and point incompetence at somebody else 
so it’s never your fault and therefore cannot be helped 
treating friends unfair 
until there ain’t no one there 
because you just don’t care 
but in your stories you swear 
that you’re selfless and prepared 
to save everyone who is facing despair 
after blaming the individual for their own fate 
comparing the fact you made decisions that they ain’t 
because you make the right choices and have superior vision 
sounding authentic to those who don’t expect to hear fibbing 
and when you big yourself up there’s also somebody digging 
and though they helped you back up you forget that as you kick ‘em 
saying you wanna help as you continue to hit ‘em 
acting like it’s all their fault as you leak criticism 
combined with a sad face to ensure the sympathy’s given 
because you lost a mate 
when they fell into this place 
but last month they were fake 
and it was too much to take 
for now they’re nowhere to trace 
as they avoid you with hate 
as you remove yourself 
from any involvement or blame 
and act all confused
saying they must be insane 
because to not like you 
must mean they haven’t a brain 
and then you emphasis this point 
by saying they’re the slow train 
who you have to help by shining 
a light that explains 
the simplest interactions 
that they take the wrong way
in fact if you speak to your friend 
they would be right as rain 
as the fact they don’t like you 
is their stupid mistake 

The narcissist in you evident 
cold twisted malevolent 
suffering though you’re innocent 
from someone far less intelligent 
now confused by developments 
believing things deemed irrelevant 
a friend you’ll save cus you’re brilliant 
despite the painful experience

Magna Veritas

Mightier than fibs and sharp swords, 
Manacled truth will with time prevail
Against high peak and gigantic vale, 
And glossed lips' deodorized words. 

Sharper than lucre's nectared studs
Stabs tested truth's right-driven nail;
Till all wrong-worn tongues wax frail, 
And fain betray old veneered guards. 

Unfettered truth predates olden floods.
Earlier than Noah's Ark and hasty hail
Unbowed stood her long-tenured trail, 
Defanging vibes of fact-twisting nerds. 

Unbent still won truth's candid cards, 
Outlasting every knavish fibbing tale; 
And justice bespectacled favored jail, 
Where oft cool heels of reptiled duds.

Why not tell it to blank wingless birds: 
If stoutest truth's tempest-tossed sail
Long neutered was by wealthier gale, 
Over gold's Monsoon-storming girds? 

~~~Magna est veritas et praevalebit~~~.

Premium Member Posting a Dramatic Dilemma

Almost  

Decided to make that post  

A tweet  

That I thought would put on the heat  

Entire world could read it   

Some may say to me ‘beat it’  

Wanted to get things off my chest  

Since my blood pressure it did test  

Almost I did this vengeful act  

Based on an opinion feeling and not fact  

Resulting in a meeting where the boss would give me the sack  

I said I almost did something like that  

Confessing to being a trolling rat  

Instead, I caught myself as I sat  

And cleared my mind  

Decided to decline  

Making that post  

To the social media ghost  

And in the end  

No need to defend  

My keyboard used instead of a pen  
Work I deleted not pressing the button send  

So, I will honor my duties of formal host  

Giving the award winner the special toast  

No telling them what I honestly felt  

As they fill their money belt   

Tightened in a way  

Where it would stay  

Silent and quiet  

Not stirring any tabloid circus riot  

Am I committing a crime worthy of an arrest?  

Fibbing about whom was the actual best  

In a situation that truly is a mess  

Ready to confess  

Unless  

I went through  

With what I was going to do  

Almost  

Post  

About why I did not want to be the tuxedo wearing entertaining host

Premium Member Curly Red Haired Girl

Have you seen the new curly red haired girl?
Cannot say that I have, he replied, wondering.
Why was everyone saying this to him?
This was the fourth person who had asked.

There she is! Four people shouted, watching his reaction.
The minute he saw her, he understood why.
She looked like his mother had looked when she was young.
She had died when he was six, but he remembered her face.

Her hair was a bit darker than this girl’s but her eyes were the same.
Everyone wants us to meet, the girl told him, except she was not a girl.
He invited her to lunch and they talked; she was a terrific listener.
He felt he had regained a tiny bit of his mother, which was soothing.

I guess I remind people of your mother? She suggested.
She looked a lot like you, he admitted, but she was not a great listener.
I prefer speaking to you.
And he was not fibbing.

Happy Birthday To Me

Birthdays.
What a dubious way to celebrate the imminent proximity of an epilogue.
A concept I have found myself familiar with, as I wait for its darkness to breathe my flesh into an eternity of condemn. 
It’s so monotonously profound, rousing my revulsion into a cavern of numbing ecstasy.
The hallucination of confetti blinds me in a disdain of joyous vibrancy I beseech for a defrauding.
A joyous vibrancy I elude in a hope of inevitable invasion.
A joyous vibrancy I hunt until the trail of its scorn boils with the distraught of my blood.
The mascara pours down my face; a river of infamy, coercing the heft of my obscenity. 
The lipstick smears down my chin; a sadistic endeavour to ravage the dereliction of my leeches.
The highlighter gleams; a grotesque jubilation of a fibbing mockery.
And the fundamental rigour of my perished rot derides in a soul prompting conjecture;
I hope this is my last birthday.

Premium Member Cat On a Hot Tin Roof

Cat on a hot tin roof, and I am not kidding. I am really not!
This black cat is lying in wait. I am not fibbing. The roof is his cot!
I saw him up there in the heat of a hot summery Arizona day. 
I yelled, Hey, bummery of a cat, are you up there to stay? 

He was lying on his back, scratching the tile with his boobly-doo.
I knew he was enjoying himself. Did not think he’d ever be through.
He was lying in the sun, soaking it up like, well, a warm black cat.
I decided to climb up there, and see what I could do about that.

When I got closer, he opened one eye and said “Just give it a try.”
So I flung myself down and looked up into the pretty blue sky.
This was so much nicer than anything I had done the entire week.
I decided to stay up here, and rest.  My breathing became weak.

“You like it don’t you?” the black cat asked, in a most peculiar way.
 I realized he was my grandfather, reincarnated, on that Tuesday.
No one could get me off the roof with supper or promise of a bed.
I lay back and relaxed, and did not care if I was ever fed.

When I awoke my grandpa was gone but the stars were out so bright.
I knew I had been gifted another peek of him that every night.
I had not seen my favorite grandpa since November 13th of 1964.
I will never forget this day with my grandfather, it was enough and more.

Premium Member A Soup Opera: As the Nose Grows

Mr. and Mrs. Pinocchio are carvings of wood
No matter how they try, they cannot be good
Lying is their habit. The constant fibbing shows
by the length of snouts; each has a distended nose

They bray like donkeys in the Disney movie
Arrogantly thinking they're impressively groovy
They will never be able to become a real girl and boy
unless they stop lying and end to their cunning ploy

Geppetto, why'd you give these imps a tongue
Their lies are far fetched and their tales far flung
How they love to fabricate fibs and wickedly conspire
Perhaps that wood would be put to better use in a bonfire
