New Wine In Old Bottle

At cock crow 
Lady and Mr. Y, turned seventy
They googled themselves;
The wind whistled past
And exposed the gooses back
They felt the wrinkles 
On their temple,
The rings around their eyes
And the tires around their waistline;
They threw caution to the wind,
Damned God's wisdom;
Rejected and refused the notion
That every product 
Has a manufacture and expiration date

Like Adam and Eve,
They rebelled and went 
On a rehabilitation and refurbishing spree:
First, was a tummy tuck, Liposuction,
Rhinoplasty and facelift,
Then,
Necklift, browlift, chinlift, breastlift 
And facial rejuvenation.....
For a while,
They shortchanged nature
As a snake shells it's outer layer
But,
Could not cheat death
When it came knocking.

Premium Member Wheel of Misfortune

Welcome to the "Wheel of Misfortune"
With your host, “Dirty Clothes” Pat
And dear sweet “Hole In Her Gowns” Vanna
You could lose your fortune like that

Players contribute ten grand of their own
The one with the most money loses
Ain't easy giving all incorrect answers
Ya feel like a bunch of silly gooses

First contestant is the one that goes last
Are you following, it can be a bit confusing
Audience get baffled, some leave in a huff
A few were even caught snoozing

Where's all this leading, I haven't a clue
Really feels like I've lost my control
Maybe I'll just gracefully fade to black
And crawl back in my wee cubbyhole

Expressionless faces from nondescript places
Each to work races to go through their paces
Mothers on day trips with Garrys and Tracys
Hope to avoid unexpected disgraces

Packed in like sardines which happens routinely
Keep a hair’s breadth apart, else it’s unseemly
A man who’s expression says ‘thinking obscenely’
Presses up close, just a little too keenly

Did I feel a hand where a hand shouldn’t be
I don’t mean my arm and I don’t mean my knee
If Mr Obscene one more time gooses me
I’ll give that old pervert a lobotomy

I’ve thought it before and I’ll think it again
This daily commute renders good folk insane
Will I get a medal if I inflict pain
On those who bring prams on a rush hour train?

Premium Member - Small Notes -


  Frozen window a blackboard to write on
  a motivational boost 

  Smelling romantic moonlight
  can be a two-part problem - or shared enjoyment

  Sliding down the hill in an open suitcase
  reindeer in fur coats - the merchant's profit

  The bathing season is already ended
  scientists cast doubt on the health effects of ice bathing

  The frozen untuned strings of the soul
  I'm considering buying a piano

  You don't need professional education
  look - the gooses track in the snow

  Wet lips, juicy tangerines
  garlic and ginger in a bread bag

  In the Advent calendar's windows
  soft velvet hearts and twin cherries

  Avoid this year's cold - recommend
  a splash of whiskey morning, noon and night
