This Three-Fifth Stooges moron quartet
are brain-slow slugs you don’t wanna IQ know

Just sitting on a milk crate,
waiting outside of the MGM studio gate

The alleyways within the maze are paved with rats and mice.

Evangelists with moneyed fists collect the sacrifice

from losers scorned and rubes reborn, and promise paradise,

while in the back they cook some crack, inhale, and roll...

The Secret Place of the Most High
The sun illumes a land in precarious peace,
There was a time when heroes walked with ease, 
But now, complacency reigns shamelessly, 
And the distracted people take weal for granted.

The decaying dynasty finally crumbles and tumbles,
The...

Art of the Con --- Repost
Listen to the chumps,
listen to the rubes,
screaming that democracy
is going down the tubes

But every wise guy knows
when the fix is in
To put all their money down
on the one who has no chance to win

It's the...

Skagway, Alaska in the late 1890s was sure a rowdy place alright!
It was seethin' with humanity a-raisin' hell all through the day and night!
'Twas the gateway to Chilkoot Pass beyond which lay Klondike gold!
Why! ...

Mating Calls, or, Purdy Please!
Limericks by Michael R. Burch

Nine-thirty? Feeling flirty (and, indeed, a trifle dirty),
I decided to ring prudish Eleanor Purdy ...
When I rang her to bang her,
it seems my words stang her!
She hung...

Downhill Racer
The day was brilliant--Sol spreading diamonds in the sky-- 
When Kathleen and her father faced the slope, 
He with trepidation, she with hope.

They scanned the rise and watched like country rubes
As sliders paused atop the...

Little Miss Sure Shot Gains A Namesake

Rhinestones and rawhide
Prancing horses and the dream
Of the Old Wild West;
Dazzling the Old World crowd:
6 shots through a card tossed in the air,
Ash shot off the Kaiser's cigarette -

The Day You Let the Lion Out
It was the trophy hunt that played you out
In deafening degrees,
This video-invention of yourself revealed –
A theatrical display that formed the day, 
A message of power, the plug-and-play 
Of your most infamous hour

There was no...

Together, they would pray.
They huddled in the upper room
And waited for the Day.

When Pentecost arrived;
A sound like mighty rushing wind:
The Spirit came alive.

Like fire, it rested...

Partisan Politics
As a person of lay,
I do watch in dismay.
All these government rubes,
look like fools on our tubes.

Playing silly games,

upon this President Trump
voted in by us "chumps".

No respect for his...

Keep Ridin' To Be Free
They’re fencin’ off the free range,
Sayin’ that’s the way things will be;
I reckon it rubs us strange;
You just keep ridin’ to be free.

They tell us “do this or that,”
They show us how it should be...
