Long Shebang Poems

Steve: This sounds like the traditional Hindu caste system. I get it; all that Kama Sutra stuff.

John: You mean Kama Sutra IPA? It’s a local brew. Not bad.

Steve: Douche bag say wha?

John: Wha?

Steve: Please continue,...

battles are about where they disappear
the ones that walk away

What cause to thrust me off my narrow road?
When truth, factual actual truth unto me bestowed,
In my inner deep’s deepness such sowing sowed,
What cause then, to have me in hysterics of unknown kind?
Far-off the clandestine...

Armadilly Billy needed repair work on the home, as he wanted to move in.
Asking around Troll Lake Town, the answer was Leavit, again and again.
A bit confused, he needed repairs; he couldn’t leave it, like...

Silence occupied the room for so long
No signs of a visitor to step on coming
Trying to entertain himself in craving
Of bygones and the future just like a throng

Shebang of party for a corporation
Another shanty is...

Got a plop in my fizz
And a tiger in my tank
Impossible is nothing
(That’s why Titanic sank)

Got milk? Just do it.
Wash your troubles down the drain
Tastes so good 
Cats ask for it by name

Eat fresh. I’m...

Shebang Squirrel was the fastest most frolicking squirrel in the yard.
She could outrun pitchforks, farmers, and toddler in leotard.
Her reputation soon came to the attention of the Squirrel Queen.
Who watched her gathering skills, and saw...

I’d like to discuss the manners of crow,
That dine on the roads where cars come and go.

They peck at road kill without forks or knives,
But ‘caw, caw’ to their friends, saving their lives.

They don’t use...

Your list of words is *dubious,
so many came from slang.
I fear my up-tight mama
would forbid the whole shebang.
*Affaire de coeur is French of course
and we may only borrow.
I also know what’s slang today
could be correct...

If I were rich I would live in Orlando, 
Where the sun grooms the watered land, 
Where busyness is quelled by knowing that, 
You can always live in another city grand. 

My Disney poems would...

“Mice” is nice but might be called “mouses”
if a couple is next to a screen
and there is no screaming from me
except in excitement at my selection.

That Razer Viper V2 Pro

Have I done enough good 
to offset the bad
have I delivered enough performances 
that were deemed acceptable
to place in the chorus-line 
my performances that were not
or

   Was caught today playing with a boomerang
Later to onlookers she showed her fang 
   As she stuffed her face with banana pie meringue 

As one hand...

I am a mountain
one with trees 
growing on it
and grass
sprout- sprouting forth

I am a valley
one with rivers 
gushing from its bossom
giving life 
to the whole shebang. 

I am war
my claws claim lives 
defiled,
undefiled
and souls so pure. 

I...

I like faint fire I feel
fueling me with fervor
for far off places without you

I like sweet scent of spring I smell
when you fan the flames
ignited by your carefree hand

I like warmth seeping in
letting my blood...

Soiree
See you Saturday
In Santa Fe

Fancy Shebang
Quick overnight boomerang
In convertible Mustang

Masked Escapade
No typical charade
Invitation says masquerade

Frame or Fame
Play the game
Hide your name

Real Deal
Say your spiel
Save the reveal

Quite Gourmet
They’ll serve Dubonnet
For floral bouquet

Midnight Champagne
Take private plane
Mile high...

Long ago
a year or so
I received accolades a plenty
I won this, and I won that
I was on top of it all
I was almost the whole shebang
I was important
I was all about me
I pandered and pounded
I...
