Premium Member Jailer From the North

We peep through grated beams in the dark confines, 
Kept in chains by the  tyranny  of audacious  jailers,
unending cynosure of profligates and imposters:  
ruining the destinies of  million  wearied sufferers.
criminals fit for the gallows,  
morons from the days of the  colony. 
dictators in military attires. 
and simpletons kept in power for temporary ease.

our  heirloom forced from us by old monsters.
cabals of criminals, greedy goons, men untutored in reputation. 
Felons and rapscallion  from the military barracks, 
too old for modern ideas.
we are burdened along by colonial tyranny, 
in a country where destinies are suspended in the gale, 
and youths are forced into their own crimes of stealing.  
we could not speak our sentiment freely. 
we are fettered and  riveted by their guns. 
The sword above us, tyranny of archaic mind. 
dreamy theorist acting as lords over multitudes of docile lots.  
   
men made to  cringe and fawn bowing and  stooping to the 
threatening of their guns. 
They armed assassins and sufferers alike, 
paid a trifling sum from the proceeds of corruption,
to keep the masses away from them as old baron loot the treasury,  
this open prison of fancied freedom, 
where marauders  employed by the states with a gun to kill,  
trans versing the south with AK47/. 
terrorist renamed bandits by religious sympathizers. 
from the porous borders of North, 
comradely of Fanatics and bigots of the sword sect. 

Clandestinely overrunning the land. 
Freedom is a crime to fools. 
those who dares becomes enemy of states. 
assaulted by “operation python” dance. 
or raided by Lawless DSS. 
This is but a Jihad disguised as government. 
The road is a trap of death, 
we sleep as watchers waiting for the sword. 
we starve amidst multitudinous  resources,
they Lend to keep us in Bondage. 

The crude in the south. 
and all the resources are carted away to the North 
to pay terrorist.
A state crimes condoned.  
we groan, 
we dare not speak as their armed assassin are 
ready to silence the Voice of Truth. 
one more Truth for the  Jailer from the North.


Rascal Sparkle




Look out for a Scally getting pally in an alley

Or a boy from a Welsh Valley going doolally

Watch out for a Gadabout in polished brogue

Keep tally of reprobates mates out on a rally

The Rogue knack seems to be back in vogue


King of the bling castle that Rascal debacle sparkle 

Why possibly be a flunky if you could instead be

Punky freaky funky sneaky spunky cheeky monkey


Wastrel with Scoundrel and a Ne’er Do Well revel

Grins sparking at sins of fancy dans and Harridans 

Twins of long pins dance spin with larking Larrikins

Drifter Imp or Grifter pimp do scrimp always a cad

Unravel dishevel like a Devil from that lower level

Had by a champ Scamp Artful Dodger to crafty lad


Fond of Rapscallion swearing Vagabond & medallion

Delightful tomfoolery wearing well frightful jewellery

Drunken Scallywag swagbag brag of sunken galleon

Blighter sounder Bounder all rounder fighter & stallion

Villain scouring vulture devouring souring culture carrion


Tyro on giro Rake or Tyke on the take always a Herbert

Hasty helluva pasty fella but tasty & stellar as fresh turbot 

Can't cellar or curb it not a hermit more animal than kermit

Shan’t enslave a fave Knave or Snake who crave a sherbet..

Premium Member The Intruder

Idlers, paved  paths with active energies, purloining,  feigning amity.

Dodgy &  concealing past immoral dregs  by comradely, waspish mien.

Obdurately empowered by this stranger plucked from their nocturnal fantasies    
 
Wanton mistresses of countless broken walls in desperation for time.

Unbridled intrusion cloaked in religiosity vexed by undefined arrogance.  



Oft, in pretext, manipulating, with energies stronger than the POPE.

Habits of a thuggish intervention foist on bewitched  “soul tie” 

Ill-beseeming nuances summoning this Stygian  to their unsealed brothels     

Obvious cliquish  vindictive venom  of  a barrage of past bed felon. 

Zestfully compelling, violently intrusive and surreptitiously preying.  

Ending the  farce,  Rapscallion  oozing  countless entries on the rotten hole.

I've dabbled in the written word
Fighting to be heard
Sharing my pain for years
Doing my best to hide my tears
The days in a dark haze
Mired in malicious malaise
But hey, I'm still alive
And boy do I strive
To get beyond all of that
So I trimmed the fat
I found ways to get into trouble
Some things should have stayed in the thought bubble
But I put on the brakes
And learned from my mistakes
And I've bled for my creed
And it gave birth to a seed
That if I could temporarily cope
I'd eventually find hope
And recover from the fights
And the lonely nights
It's hard to articulate I was mentally unwell
But perhaps it's best not to dwell
So here I do tell I'm ascending ever higher
And in my heart is a fire
Knowing tomorrow
I'll be free of this sorrow
Word after word you've all seen it all
How I had no choice but to fall
But see I heeded the call
And now I assuredly stand tall
And though I'm a troublemaker
I'm also a subtle faker
I never learned how to properly write
Even if my words burn bright
Indubitably immaculately intelligent
I'm in Hell again
But this time I'm just passing by
To show me why
I went through it to make myself better
No longer chained to the debtor
For my debts are paid
And my future is made
So I've dabbled in the written word
But no longer fighting to be heard

Goodbye and Good Riddance Former Ersatz Trumpeting President

Joseph Robinette Biden
now commander in chief yay
manning ship of state
tossing anchors aweigh
heavily pierced tattooed
donning sheepish pirate(s)
at heady roiling waterway
fending off trolling rapscallion
much more thrilling

than watching cabaret
January twenty first two thousand
twenty one marks his first full day
wherein Oval Office finally
flushed, ousted, and zapped,
whose paternal ancestry
begat genealogical linkedin émigré
name unknown, nevertheless

one Johann Trump born within
Bobenheim am Berg, a village
in Palatinate, Germany circa 1789
moved to nearby village of Kallstadt
where his grandson, Friedrich Trump,
the grandfather of Donald Trump,
born in 1869 gamboled
upon grassy fairway
whereby grandson notorious

to grandstand and gainsay,
but especially renowned
windblown coiffure
kept intact courtesy "fake" hairspray
said product he did fulminate
against and inveigh,
cuz he envied (as does yours truly)
the trademark thatch sported by J.F.K.

At long last, a stalwart adept candidate
unwittingly saddled
with onerous figurative freight
COVID-19, homelessness, joblessness
sober statistics impossible mission to inflate,
whose physique slender and lightweight
boot pulleys and levers of power

he quite savvily can operate
personable and suave demeanor doth resonate
allowing, enabling, and providing
law and order to materialize,
and accomplishments downplayed
(unlike previous commander in chief)
whose braggadocio would never underrate.

Concern still prevails
regarding that woman user
egging fascistic paramilitary
white supremacist ilk
twittering as a digital schmoozer
hell bent on sowing anarchy,

cuz other Democratic contestant
did not defeat
soured at prospect their man beat
(him - who shall not be named again
ranks as a sore loser)
nevertheless, an oafish shill bruiser.

If prognostications allowed me,
at bedtime, when a supine American,
one garden variety and generic
sleepy Joe among madding crowd
will experience glee

at prospective buoyancy, decency,
fraternity, harmony, jollity, levity,
nobility, prosperity, serenity, tranquility...
wishing no ill will toward
former forty sixth president.

Rapscallion Raps Raptly

Rapturousness wrought Unitarian
transformational spiritual rapport
traversing thru space/time
continuum appending increasing
chronological orbitz as an Earthling,
frivolously did cavort,

who (with ever more energy)
required exhaustively to sport
fretfully clinging to each moment
after downing a quart of port
poured by Norwegian bachelor
farmers of Lake Woebegone amort

admirable administrators in
conjunction with last rites opport,
who knit tee necessitates
intercession of a Holy Vintner import
tint so ill fated mortal, (who met
their demise) gets special escort

delivered with utmost diligence as
if destined to Mar-Lago resort
accompanied with trumpeting
"NON FAKE" grim reaper cohort,
the grateful dead black hooded
bone a fied scythe swinging bro

cracking gallows humor comport
to perk spirits of deceased, a
generic, nondescript, uber fort
tuff hide will never need a passport
after coursing into the afterlife
way beyond the outer limits of fort

hit who'd, yup even light years from
twilight zone, this dimension in short
to require an eternity to reach,
hence body stiffened by rigor mortis
securely strapped into davenport

essentially a coffin tricked out by Norte
American latest technological gizmos,
an eclectic assortment recycled, reimagined,
repurposed, paraphernalia to Voldemort,
thus one cold body helping contribute to MAGA!

Premium Member What Would This Scallywag Know

It was one of those nights that a rapscallion would swoon
our pirate ship glided almost silently by the light of the moon
we were stealthily advancing on a world we did not know
They would experience our cutthroat ways before we would go

I hear they have women my bunkmate whispered to me
What would this scallywag know? He was merely twenty-three.
I hear they are pretty whispered a lad on the other side
I rolled my eyes; when we got there, where would they hide?

They were not true pirates, they did not understand.
They were bold, loud, young and foolish, not part of our band.
I was irritated with our leader for letting them get on board.
While I was thinking this, one of them loudly snored.

For over thirty years we had sneaked into this marvelous cove.
We had stolen their best things, I swear this, by jove!
But on this trip these young ones ruined everything by being loud.
We barely escaped with your lives from the hostile island crowd.

Folderol Gallimaufry

At the risk of coming off turgid
I offer this tale esoteric
Hoping it’s not found insipid
Nor causes one to be apoplectic
But rather received with alacrity
Without the need for paroxysm
My word there’ll be no chicanery
And avoidance of anachronism
Far from being sesquipedalian
Nor need for any razzmatazz
The tale of the slubberdegullion
Who thought himself full with pizzazz
Though being so supercilious
His affect stirred only dudgeon
Any good was so very fugacious
From this untoward tatterdemalion
Yet still he persisted a mumpsimus
If you will, and worse a panjandrum
So aggravating and rumbustious
Redeeming qualities not a modicum
An unquestioned snollygoster
Given to being quite vagary
An ill-reputed hugger-mugger
And a voice of such cacophony
But I see that you are insouciant
And consider my warning malarkey
Since you wish to be recalcitrant
My apologies for being persnickety
I end my tale of the rapscallion
Without further ado or rigmarole
Avoiding becoming ultracrepidarian
I have met my supererogatory parole

Premium Member I Hug the Ocean More Than Any Tree

From shore to deep, the colors of the sea,
tan sand and white meringue bursting forth.
Can you picture the lovers on the edge
             long after they're gone? 
                    Footprints of fun
                          and frolic.
          The ghost, of bikini and boxers
painted pretty with tropical flowers, on bods.

The ocean wall, an enigmatic blue and sand monster
like a cloudy day sky. It has the look of adventure
                    as it cascades.
                      I want to climb it’s peak,
                         examine it’s underwings.
                Toes sink, knees deep, waist high -
I’m just an earthling enamored with the mystic sea.

When on a cruise deck, and God shut the lights off,
                   except for the moon
                        and stars,
                    I want to lean over -
don’t stop me as I dive with my prayers and imagination
into the frothing lullaby -
                               its rocking,
                                  sloshing,
                                     satisfying.

I hug the ocean more than any tree. It cools me,
surrounds me with
                           danger,
                               love,
                      romance…yes,
swashbuckles me, captures me, and lets me go.

The ocean let Jonah go and so did the great fish,
but I will not let the sea free me so easily. This salt
                            has it in her blood,
                                even standing too close
                                  to the rocks
       near the lighthouse that illuminates a warning.

Mrs. Muir saw the Captain in her dreams, full-bearded -
the cape cottage window open to the endless tide.

The danger now is not sharks nor shipwrecks
but the needles in the sand, the chasing off
of blanketed lovers by the unsavory beach pirates.
                           Us earthlings
             must clean up our ebb and flow.

Illuminate me on pink sands. Draw me into a rapscallion tale.
I shall cross swords on the deck as the sea comes to my rescue.

Baz Bob and Ben


Freely admit am more than a bit of a Test cricket junkie

VIP pass doff for punky class of Bazball’s start so spunky

Revel in rocking devil may care peacocking flair so funky  

But when stuttered became rather cluttered and clunky


Then Ben not with his men again is still a cheeky monkey

Iffy getting squiffy forgot curfew & in a jiffy all got gunky

Palaver in a lather farce of toff ECB job & gob of slob Key

Smelt wrong the pong not dope has felt old school skunky 


Hunky stallion did quaff the trough now rapscallion donkey 

Scoff not bob on plunky fob off dob em in for being a flunky

Got a cob on Baz a show off ar*e & Rob chubby and chunky

Sob should burn on the hob as each other’s jail bit*h bunkie

Turn the door k*ob in lob Baz & Bob then Ben lose the key
