Shy

Shy of condition

Shyness afflicted

Shy opaque canvas butterfly

Who only speaks when addressed

Oh shy , Oh shy
Opaque butterfly
Who only speaks when addressed

Converses only in chilling whispers
shyness permitting

Corner to corner when in a room searching camouflage in which
to shelter cloak invisibility

Personable , polite , contrite yet
sadly lacking personality

Apart from shyness to call 
on as a solent friend and crutch
to lean upon

So shy and friendless butterfly 
has no one but himself to pacify
his mental health

On the outside but still a bystander
fenced in by wall's built out of social
convention barricade stone's

Alone is shy with untapped depth
bound and blighted by crippling 
stage fright

For fear of letting one's presence
be known and felt in company

But no less worthy of being heard
than those who crave and hogg the
limelight for themselves

Who are probably no less or
even more insecure than the
terminal shy 

Both suffer from the same 
personality condition
just express themselves
in different or their own way

Shy , eccentric , exhibitionist
two sides of the same coin

Unable to express oneself
for fear of being torn apart
for being different

In a world shepherded by sheep
where everyone aspires to be a
lookalike

Everyone eventually ends up
looking like mutton dressed
up in lamb's designer wool

With the wool pulled firmly
over our eye's


Premium Member They Are Eating The Dogs

They are eating the dogs
They are eating the cats
They are eating the pets
They are eating the wild hogs.

In the early 20th “c”, Germans used to eat blockade mutton
That’s absolute truth. It’s a shame that this felon
Is desperate and going wild. The dude is a pathological liar
Who will do anything. He’s a tremendous cheater.

Immigrants do not eat the pets
Especially Haitians who love chickens
Tassot or griot meats, black rice and beans.

Haitians love Soup Joumou with lots of carrots
Haitians enjoy one of the best cuisines on the planet
Liar, liar, nobody is perfect. That’s correct.

On Second Thoughts

And shall this piece of twisted wire
bring me all I could desire,
and will this ugly-looking button
that tears my flesh to shredded mutton,
grant me up there a first-row seat
where heavenly angels come to meet?
Can Heaven in mercy ever cover
my slaying children with their mother?
What of those maids in Paradise?
I yearn for them, but what's the price?
Lo, I behold a pale white dove.
Is this a sign from Heaven above?
No more to see the golden sun,
the silver moon when day is done?
Renounce the joys of married bliss
for an airy-fairy virgin's kiss?
Should I God's earthy gifts despise.?
There's time anon to Heavenwards rise.

Where I Am From

I am from the black earthen pot behind my grandmothers burnt brick store
That springs cold water in and out of season for thirsty souls to drink
I am from pounded yam with melon soup, garnished with mutton

I am from huge greenery with strong and well rooted trees and oceans of rain
Whose backyard is filled with grasses and shrubs much taller than the fences built to protect the houses
I am from the yellow hibiscus, the sunny and cheery daffodils

I am from the Ifa legendary clan
The descendants of Oduduwa, that great servant of Eludumare
I am from the great Sasere dynasty, men of pride and loyalty

I am from the proud households of great Lords, that stand only for the truth
Great warriors who fought for just cause 
The stubborn impregnable optimists

I am from the heart of men loyal to Ifa 
The great deity whose prayers-
Eludumare never fails to answer

I am from the womb of the great woman who defied science 
And fought cancer head on bravely for years, though lost the battle
Opened up hope for others fighting the same battles

I am from broken bones and crumbling gold
I am Adeshina, the son of Aladeshawe
From the Ancient Yoruba land of Owo.

Adeshina Aladeshawe- December 2018

Premium Member Halloween Horror

        Octopus spinning twisting terrifying tentacles.
     Witty witch showing black magic doing miracles.
    Vampires flying all around displaying wide wings.
    Kids of ghost with long teeth laugh loud and swings.
                                                                       
              Ghostly gibbous Moon peeps through clouds, winks wizard.
              Nocturnal owl whirling  eyes turns back to attack limping lizard.
              Lovely lioness left lazy  lion embracing lonely  leopard.
             
                Unicorn washing curvy horn in blood with glycerin soap
               Demons playing tug of war with venomous python as rope.
                Opponents were gang of giants: Scary monsters notorious.
                   Black spider crawling, jumping, running rushing ferocious.  

         Eight eyes of black widow sparkled through wide window .
         Moon cast ghostly shadow on shrubs in adjacent meadow .   
         Weird witch cunning most sitting with scary ghost
          eating rotten mutton roast and burnt butter toast.

                   Kids of ghost carve sweet swollen pumpkin 
                   Valorous vampire , howling wolf jumped in.
                    Gang of ghosts danced merrily with kith and kin.
     
         Vigorous going on scary Halloween dance
         All are exulted , hated to miss the chance.
           Kitty cat danced standing on its  paws
             exhibiting strong spiky curdy claws.
           
         Violent viper, always hyper continuous shedding tear
          ' I love you, Dear ' to whisper close to my ears.
       Jumper Vampire hugged me swift to inspire,
        gifting me a shiny sapphire : Me about to expire .       

        Green-eyed black cat chasing macro mouse wagging tails.
     Vultures and hawks coming in flocks ringing jingle bells   
     Me in party at  haunted house trembling and heart fails.

Premium Member Santa Hits the Snooze Button

Santa Hits The Snooze Button


Santa went out last night dressed as mutton 
drinking too much at the costume party.
Being a glutton woke up with a hearty 
hangover.

He turned over
and hit the snooze button one more time. 
Mrs. Santa gave him a cup of lime,
tomato juice, and beer to get over
the hangover. 

Wake up. Wake up. Please wake up.

I can't. I stayed out too late with Buttercup.
I ate and drank until it I tossed up 
all of my cookies and liquor sup.

Santa! Wake up. Please wake up 
before the morn and children wake up.

Rudolph battery is running low
before it goes while it still glows 
you need to deliver all the children's toys. 
You're going to ruin the joy of the girls and boys.

Billionaires hunker down in their Queenstown bunker lairs

Let’s pester Uncle Fester

After dafter Luxon 

Pushed the button

Welcomed every glutton

To the isles of mutton


Theme of the meme

Team New Zealand 

It does seem

No longer a

Stronger eclectic sceptic


Spanked by the rank 

Septic tank stream

Peptic Pyramid scheme


Grand slam.. glam sham scam

Desperate Dan or Tangerine tan plan

God damn..American dream


Our rancour on social media

Danker seedier leaders crimes 

Hanker for every greedier 

Rhymes with banker


Sleazier golden geezer visas 

Accept any offers to

Fill their many coffers


Brokery.. jiggery pokery 

Immunity without impunity 

To the unity of community

Profanity of their vanity


Insanity of their depravity

Clarity...disparity not charity

Tramples ample wokery


Our amazing landscape

Instead becomes their escape

Coined..after all they’ve purloined

Jolly jape…no red tape


Not being rash

But it is a rash

Debunk the gunk & funk

Forsaking the avarice 

Taking the pis*

Bliss abyss monk


Crass..brash..flash git

S***k a chunk of cash

From their balderdash stash

Making..a complete hash of it


Fake elite on the take

As they see fit

Billionaire boys ploys annoys

Replete yet still cheat 

Have your cake and eat it


Our government just envoys

For a small fee..sweet

Deploys the swanky..w**ky

Yankee all about me

Time to flee plea


They lit the fire

Liar & denier

Dug the quagmire


Piety for impropriety

Moolah Messiah ruler

High flyer pariah

Crueler society


Who when the s**t 

Does hit the fan

No fibs..his nibs gets

First dibs on cribs


Outlier masterplan zen..know 

Then where to go


Can always hunker down

In a spick & span den

Their Queenstown bunker


Amen

Premium Member Greedy Guts - Do Join In the Collaboration

My auntie’s best friend Liselotte
Adores making sweet panna cotta
Auntie’s over the moon
Grabs an enormous spoon
Then greedily gobbles the lotta!

By piling sweet treats on her plate
Poor auntie starts putting on weight
She steps on the scales
Then curses and wails
Must diet before it's too late

Written by Jan Allison

Jan's Auntie has become quite a glutton
Feasting on panna cotta and mutton
Now her butt crack's exposed
I'm keeping my eyes closed
Zipper's broken, and she popped a button

She devoured the custard and the Chablis
She's drunk and ready to go Full Monty
Not trying to be rude
But her plump rump, nude
Would bring about nightmares to haunt me

Written by Lin Lane

1/10/20

Jan's huge auntie had a weakness for cheese
When offered seconds always said" yes please"
She was known as' big Nelly'
Because of her fat belly
And her large boobies hung down to her knees...

She went off with her friends to sunny Spain
But would have needed three seats on the plane
Although it was freezing cold
Nelly opted for the hold
On landing they had to use a large crane...

Written by Tom Cunningham

Jan's too full Auntie crashes on the bed
complaining her guts hurt from too much bread
she lands with a loud pop
expelling gas nonstop
and yelling that was a relief, she said

Jan's Uncle is so tired he wants to sleep
He enters the bedroom, the stench is deep
Auntie is passed out
snoring like a trout
He runs back onto the couch with a leap

Written by Tania Kitchin

She went straight back to see Liselotte
and ate MORE of that thick panacotta!
But she’s full of regret
for right now she’s beset
by a quiver that’s making her totter.

The doctor explained. “If you gobble
too much of that stuff, then you’re nobbled!
You can run, you can sweat
off the calories - yet
you will NEVER get rid of the wobble!”

Premium Member Blood and Sweat

The tirade of the tyrant
Has subdued the trident
Gloating over the viceroy 
It's the blood and sweat of 
  victory.

The subdued voice of defeat
Veiled in unapologetic  defiance
Shedding secret tears of what could
  have been?
What would have been in the hood
It's the defeat drenched in blood and 
  sweat.

The table is set for dinner,
Choice meats, mutton, chicken beef....
This is a parade of victory for the price
Of blood and sweat of the masses.

The meat is gorging on, the flesh is stuck between  the teeth
A pain in the mouth, transversing the whole
 polity
The bodies of the dead nationals crushed
A vivid reminder of the price of victory
Of shed blood and sweat.
