Trumpasaurus Extinction Highly Unlikely
Huge life like mockup 
rigged up to bark
dare buzzfeed outsize monstrosity
diet coke, McDonald's and meatloaf
pet banality, execrable, and misogynistic words
greets visitors at formerly named
Mosquito State Park forever known as
Donald Trump State Park.

Whom so e'er decreed...

If you’re in the mood for a tale
Please come sit with me a spell

I’ll spin a yarn of sheer delight
Concerning October’s final night

Children dress up in their suits
Parents thinking, “Oh so cute”

Chico the Wino
He drifted into town one day.
We didn't ask his name
Or where he came from.
(Some guessed way up north.)
They called him Chico the Wino.

We didn't muse or ponder
That he was some mother's son --

Gather round while I spin a yarn
  'bout a young gal, grew up in a barn
With horses and cows, she had her own stall
  She loved taking care of them, most of all

Do footles ever fournicate?
From two come more, and soon there’s eight
The image conjured up ain’t great
Them spondees, trochees on a date

Cuz less...

That Girl
She is the queen of words who sits 
Serenely at her desk and contemplates 
How she can compose to show her wit 
And put an end to their debates,
With all the tales she relates.

To Dance With Thieves
Those stealers of hearts;
Untrue were some within the waltz,
Wishful toes so carefully stepped on.
So many a fair maiden dipped in deceit.

Twirling their dreams into dizzy confusion,
As they spin a yarn so sweetly in ear.
Those fleeting...

Midnight comes and I'm lying in my bed wide awake due to 
Anxious thoughts of what will happen tomorrow at the
Staff Christmas party. No doubt the alcohol will flow leading to
Questionable decisions made by myself...

Maybe we can spin the time
Spin a yarn or two

but the audience surely knows
that men don't live much longer than
the heyday of their town's proud factory
or the life span of an empire in the modern...

The Midwife
Written: by Tom Wright
2006

The man who says he's nothing to hide
is the man with it previously hidden?

The greater hurt lies in what...
