Long Loudmouth Poems

Rum had heard the rumour, “There’s a great new movie out.”
He asked around to find out what the plot might be about
It’s a tale of dogs so naughty, folk won’t go outdoors
Twas Ronnie Rat that...

Me barber’s still one of them blokes who lives the school of old,
using methods quite old fashioned to what modern trends unfold,
so with scissors, clippers, hot towel, then lathered with a brush,
he’ll shave you with...

I was in a bar in Texas,
in the eastern back-country,
with three beers already inside
and another draining quickly.
It was a perfect redneck bar,
the kind of place I love,
with sawdust on the floors below
and taxidermy up above.

He loves being incorrect,
politically and otherwise
He revels in how bad he disrespects
anybody who don’t agree with him
His supporters staunchly defend
all of his boorish behavior
His critics call those supporters,
his crutch enablers,
who don’t have a leg to...

History is a loudmouth dunghill hen,
Who so hid hind it were left to cavil,
He who loves here and now’s a happy man.  

Past, a flightless bird, primes its wings in vain, 
A dodo buried...

I am a tree,still talking like a loudmouth
When no one is around, I silently shout
Understand that I am a den of pessimism
Fantasizing, dreaming of fresh prison
Let’s see who remains to listen
How many left? Seven? I...

Monstrous, talking, evil thing.
Spouting out lies, verily, daily!
And we?
Whatever news it spouts?
Many drool over every word
as truth, like helpless louts.

It should have a truth-o-meter.
Instead it is a spreader of hate.
Not of good, heavens, never!
It's only...

Zeal the Zealot just made some poison,
and he was proud of it as can be.

He touted that his would kill all the mice and rats,
but, promised...

So brother you ain’t got it bad,
You have no right to be mad,
There are children starving to death,
And old people struggling for breath,
Poor people with no food to eat,
Are shot dead in the street.
You’re pissed...

The Alcoholic in Your Life

Might be the dirty man in the gutter,
Or your mate, so loaded he can only stutter.
She might be the loudmouth at the bar,
Or the woman who almost died,wrecking her car.

Sadly, could...

Walking on moonlight
Sweet thrilling chills 
Love stricken
How did it all fade away into the darkness?
All that time we were together
You lied through your teeth, broken promises shattered dream
I know more about yourself, then you know...

Blades blow left then over again
 turning, spinning in the breezy wind
 a little to the demo of autocratic powered right
 only static glitches in the republic cutting of the middlemen;

Putting words on paper does not make a poet,
Writing a recipe does not make a cake.
Knowing how to comment on football does not make a coach.

It’s been another bad day with the slots,
looks like I was the only one with the “Hots!”
The machine stared back with complete onus,
I put another Benjamin in and still no bonus.

This scene repeats itself time...

Murder was served at the table.
The fellow is dead, not stable.
Page turned, nothing could be subtler -
Suspicion fell on the butler.

It was the salt and peppering -
It’s clear his oversteppering
was found out this night…all knives...

I am tired of being punished for the actions of others.
I did not rob you.
I did not hurt you.
I did not do any wrong by you.
Do not hold me accountable for their actions.

They are dying in Ukraine, you know...
America voted in the clowns;

Russian bombs falling on Maternity
Hospitals, you know...America voted

Bernie Sanders and his wife 
taking a second honeymoon
in Russian, perhaps? Seeming nowhere to be found,

Blah, blah, blah, is all I hear,
Talking heads far and near,
They only love the sounds they make,
Never giving, only take, take, take.

So many worthless words are said,
Spewing from their talking heads,
Making noise just to hear...

The source of BO on the airplane

And the noisy drunk at the concert I saved for all year

The generous seas do roam vividly,
And sacred words spoken earnestly.
People suffer and people go to war,
I just hope these words will go afar.

Yesterday I published a FREE book,
Indeed a feat of altruism, no crook!

The train was packed; I had a seat.
I read my magazine.
The car was fairly quiet,
Though you’d never say serene.

Still, I was in the middle of
A story quite engrossing,
When someone with the biggest mouth
Began with his...
