Long Impolite Poems

Dunce! You can’t spell cat

Shaming and exposing big men and women.
And shouting expletives upon expletives.

hovers over 100 seconds to midnight 
as of January 2022, 
which apocalyptic prognostication
established by the Bulletin 
of Atomic Scientists
maintained since 1947, 
the clock quantifies a metaphor 
for threats to humanity 
from unchecked...

Old blabber mouth gets on my wick
His attitude makes me quite sick
He plays to the crowd 
Is brash and so loud

On Friday nights a melting pot,
descends upon the pub,
truck drivers, cockies, factory hands,
and workers from the scrub,
to mingle in the many shouts,
that see their glasses fill,
who leave before they’re entertained,
by workers from the mill.

The timber...

Before commiting to battle,
A wise warrior reviews the odds,
Determines the likelyhood of success,
And judges accordingly...

In my younger, gang years,
I at times deviated from this basic logic...
Such as the time I and fellow member,

Doomsday Clock January 2022...

the most recent tabulation
signaled one hundred seconds to midnight

A couple years ago

I adopt dainty etiquette
when quenching thirst or dining
to buzzfeed growling beast

The missus requests obedience
raising both my little fingers in the air
upon taking beverage or repast to lips.

Additionally, she also requires I

Some watching my ease
Of execution of the self
The latent anxiety unteased
Writes me off in simplicity.
Some denuding me of honor's wealth
Wait in turmoil 
For a scab to fall and unveil its pus
And if I do not...

ROCKING
											———————————-
Perhaps near you, too?  Or
You may have a memory 
Of a one separate soul
To the side —
Young and staring ahead,
  Or an elderly life 
Over by the windowed wall,

Amazing acrobats astound awe-stricken audiences.  Amy always asks about acts already arranged.

Bouncing bears balance beach balls.  Bobby Bear bicycled behind Betsy Bear.

Crazy clowns crash carelessly.  Carousels circle clockwise.

Daring demonstrations dazzle dazed dreamers....

I was poised to take a picture of a ladybug when she turned around and said, 
“Do you mind!  
It’s impolite to take a picture of a lady from behind!”

“I hope you know…” she...

(All right you scallywags of questionable seaworthiness, we begin with an up-tempo step-liveliness.)

Roll me up...

I’m the baby chick kicking out of the
crippling darkness with no knowledge
of what’s beyond my cracked world
lost only in the frantic desperation to burst out.

Growing, stretching out of my skin,
out of my life, out of...

Looms as harbinger unless
Homo sapiens can unite

Ongematert wishing ye

Somewhere in the fight
Like the 1, 2 punch
the 3 and the 4 punch
I throw out the old, the bad, the ugly, a right left combo
jab into your rib cage, right side
You're unfazed
We fight to the...

When I'm traveling and away from you,
Not to worry, dear, my love is true.

In a tryst with a miss behind closed doors,
It's not...
