Long Snots Poems

just an average typical morning within this same old town
avoiding all the neighbors that nosily creep these grounds
while all these other folks keep busy bodying gossiping and all
who has whiter teeth, bigger boobs, or the...

Last night dinner
with four couples
points out the difficulties in living together
and apart. 
                Even the
son of a wealthy doctor, disdainful...

"Knock It"

What I smoke is frosted
Money and time it costed
Has yet to turn out how I've wanted
Remaining undaunted
Going in and out of areas that are haunted
People continually taunted
So worried about what the cat brought in

Doggone...

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

1.
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...

I don’t do all I am told, questions I always ask.
If I do, my friends take me to task.
Not me, I, in independence, do bask!

I do mean those in your face with a bang!
These are...

I awake in the morning to all kinds of sounds.
First of which is me, snoring profound.
Next usually comes a burp and a fart ,
but generally speaking, I can't tell them apart.

Then comes...

the soul
encounters 
tiny fractures of death

hairline cracks
seemingly invisible, superficial
yet they run deep

Very soon I go away,
Very soon I board my plane and go to Sydney,
Very soon I will try heal my pain.
Very soon I will find love for you...
For you leaving me.

Very soon after Sydney I...

Red one
Blue one
Old on
New one
Ah heck
Side effects
I think I am 
Due one

They’ll flatten
Or fatten
Always been
In Latin
Or tongue twistish
Latinglish
To patent
A statin

But I’ve had my fill
And summoned the will
To say bye to the ill
Coz I’m over the...

I've written about chickens with big fat legs
Told of eating my way through the fridge
My psychiatrist says I'm really quite normal
Though I feel unbalanced, a smidge

I've heard of a place, can't remember where
They can treat...

Elves and imps are surrounding the earthy cottage now.
She is made of mushrooms, moss, and spiders that bow.
Who made this creation? Who is the designer? She is a wow!
One of the imps stepped on a...

The first smell of rain hitting city walls
Before slipping down into guttery streams
Heavy drops splattering layers of ashes and dirt
Causing clouds to clot in noses of newly wet children
Wet soot snots that run so black...

When I was a child we had comics that featured Little Dot
She was full of good intentions, and had a smile well taught
Her room, bicycle, pets, and curtains were all polka dots.
She has way too...

To love means:
To be happy for this person
No pretensions, no malice
To share energy with her
To be together or not 
Is a matter of Destiny and Time.
 
To love is without 
Any disappointments
No snots and whistles...
