Premium Member The Easter Chick

Chick in the pond
Is from double yolk 
Born Easter morn
He’s a little slow

He couldn’t swim
He barely floats
Oh look at him
The butt of jokes

One day a kid
Was tossing bread
He hit the chick
On his yellow head

Chick wobbles and splash
Gags and chokes
The other chicks laugh
Calling him a dope

Carrot top kid has an idea
Why should the chick nearly drown here
He wants to help chic persevere 
He tosses a toy boat off the pier

So yellow chick
Grabs the toy boat
He rides in it
And leads the row

The other chicks
Now proudly gloat
“Did you see my brother’s boat?”

Premium Member Retirement

"Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.” –Mark Twain


Gray strands, falling over crinkly skin
Where once was reflected beauty and approval,
Now there is merely old age, a has been
Someone who knows about radiance removal

A measured pace has replaced the brisk gait
Where there was once delight in the amusement park
Now there is more pleasure in the checkmate
And, frankly - the peaceful sleep that comes at dark

Laughter and smiles embraced most of my distant past
Where joy and beauty were the blessings felt
By a heart who knows that true love will surely last
But, too – discerns the meaning of grace and faith, so heartfelt

Wrinkles may have replaced the glow on my coat
Where there was perfection, now there is only defects
Despite the splotches that reveal my age, don’t gloat
Because you’ll realize it’s nearly time friends pay their respects

Old age is not for the faint of heart – no sir
Where there are strong, wise, resilient and fervent
Some of us reach the time when illness will occur,
But that doesn’t mean we give up on being God’s servant

Loneliness often comes to those who are senior people
And even though we have the children, the younger generation
We might need medicine to get us through, a sleep pill
Or possibly some other drugs, even those that mean sedation

Never underestimate the elderly who’ve lived through times
Some harder than others – some that you’d not wish on your rival
Although we’re not young anymore, we once were in our primes,
Where we lived like we knew all we needed to for our survival

It has taken me all these years to reach this destination - OLD
I’ve survived the doubts, fears, the darkness of some dreadful years
Through everything I’ve faced on earth, a sight to behold…
In the mirror, gazing at me… a woman who was not who she appears

She was so old, it seems  – she bled not blood, but grief and tears!

Protestang

Didn't you not go to me?

How did I seethe, because an elongation of an entanglement is the alter-alto as the Omega cake..?

So swimmingly
I'm finishing the date,

I'm even allowed to procreate,

say that today as we all wander in the phase,
the glistening light is a connector of the ways...


48 equations away... 

One more long lasting stay,

I am trapping the animals and characterizing,

you upped the anti with troubling enrapturing!

You even trampled the past in THE!!!

Sometimes I sweat over the gloat and the capturing,

sometimes I'm the boat that is rafting the very temperament I haven't opportunely been the camp in the.

Premium Member The Artist

Self-styled you yell from the lofty roof top,
nobody lends ears but you don’t ever stop.
You pronounce you’ll make a great name
as an artist, in loud voice you do proclaim
so that everybody can hear.

You assert there are multi-colors in your eye,
we all know it's nothing but a pure white lie.
You think you’re born with gene of an artist,
restrained laughter spurts, people can’t resist,
but it doesn’t reach your ear.

You construe your brush has a Monet touch,
your trees stand as clusters of plumb crutch,	
something like water in river is cobalt opaque. 
You can’t even make the semblance of a fake
with the paints you smear.

You gloat you got the modern Picasso flair, 
crude art shapes distort the pallid paint layer, 
formless faces are entangled in web of cubes
as a bizarre pile of squeezed out color tubes,
you collected over the years.

Premium Member A Couple of Nags

A Couple Of Nags


A couple of fellows who weren't very bright
Got terribly drunk in the pub one night
It gave them a bit of a shock of course
When in a drunk bet... They each won a horse

With just enough money for chips and some haddock
They couldn't afford the price of a paddock
Bob said we'll rent a small field for a start
But how would we then tell our horses apart?

Ted slurred his words and burped when he said
Couldn't we paint a white stripe on one's head
Bob said we're too skint to buy us some fags
So we can't afford paint for marking our nags

We could tie a pink bow onto one of their tails
Scratch names on their flanks with a couple of nails
Or if you're not liking the sound of all that
Could we make one of them wear a straw hat?

Bob simply belched before he then said
We need to do something much cheaper instead
We can't afford ribbon or a silly straw hat
Did you think me too drunk to have thought about that?

Well we need to do something before we get old
Or before we end up stone dead from the cold
But then Bob jumped up and he started to gloat
I've sussed it he boasted, just give one your coat

Not likely said Ted, the thought makes me chilly
So frankly, he burped, you're idea is silly
Next you'll suggest that we smear one with jelly
Or maybe we ought to make one wear a welly

The two of them sat there, each scratching his head
Then Bob had a brainwave and here's what he said
We really must get this decided tonight
So you have the black horse, and I'll have the white.

Premium Member Confounded Contest

I hate it that you don't like what I write
You'd think at least one time I'd get it right
I get first place with others, never you
Won't join another one, that's what I will do

Consistently put down, oh what a drain!
I find your selectivity a pain!
Most others think my writes are pretty cool
But when I write for you, I'm just a fool

Well, here's to let you know that I am done
Cause entering your contests sure ain't fun
I squeeze my brain in hopes to win your smile
But I get tossed right out on rubbish pile

I'll gloat and savor every winning place
From one to three are ones that light my face
From 4 on down, you freaking kidding me????
Dear contest sponsor, you are HISTORY!

Everybody Loved Tom Bosley

For many years you starred on Happy Days as Howard Cunningham.
When your fans learned that you died, they most likely said "DAMN!"
You starred in Father Dowling Mysteries as a Catholic Priest.
You have passed away and now you will Rest In Peace.
When you began acting, everybody knew that you would go far.
First you married Jane Eliot and later you married Patricia Carr.
You starred as Sheriff Amos Tupper on Murder She Wrote.
Even though you were rich and famous, you didn't gloat.
I've watched you on TV shows since I was a little boy.
You were a friendly and talented man who people enjoyed.
You were a loving husband and an awesome dad.
You died at the age of 83 and millions of people are sad.

(DEDICATED TO TOM BOSLEY WHO DIED OCTOBER 19, 2010.)

Premium Member Fun House Politics

On the eve of the big election, asses and elephants are sparring.
One tramples our heart; the other slowly nibbles it to death.
Affluence trying to seduce the minions with their million-dollar smirks
and five-and-dime lips.

I enter the election booth. 
Staring through a kaleidoscope of red, white, and blue.
A referendum written by whom.

I'm the dreamy fool, placing my future 
in the palm of warlocks and witches.
Funhouse perverts and pigs
twirling ideologies with jesters on a crooked pledge.

The election cycle will come to a merciful end.
Asses and elephants will gloat unchained. 
Trampling and nibbling away until the madness sets in.
While a horde of sheep and lemmings 
heads for the icy cliff.

Premium Member Plastic Bubble Gum

It forever holds its flavor 
One is all you’ll ever need 
One can savor it for later 
Or share it with a lover 
Your brother if you’re onto that 
A friend who’s a bestie 
Or a stranger who’s in need 
I’ve repurposed a pill box 
To dispense my favorite flavor of the day 
It will never disintegrate 
And is guaranteed  
Or your money back 

If this gum just happened 
To fall into the ocean 
It would surely float 
Be gobbled up by some random fish 
Or get caught up 
In the net of a fishing boat 
And the Captain will surely gloat, 
“Yum, cherry apple red.” 

But like most trash 
Gum ends up in the dump 
Where it remains forever flavorful 
For the ants and bums 
Who rummage for just one
