' Bauk-Than or Than Bauk' Contest by charles messina
The following scenario occurred via the guest sharing with me
when I was managing the front desk at a hotel in San Francisco,
fronting Union Square. I found his morals promising and conform
to a highly acceptable standard of right and wrong. The ambiance
at the time was understandably festive, and he occasioned me the
day after bearing a pleasant decency. A pricey hotel and a priceless
moment in my lifetime.

A man deplanes
Key Biscayne's flight

Opts for mincab

Up and at 'um

~*~ ~*~
Two souls passing,
eyes lashing while
dashing connects.
Man out in town,
Lauren brown suit
and down-brim cap.
~*~ ~*~
Her nuanced face,
garbed black lace that
draped mace hides well.
The schemed conversed,
his bad nursed, hers
rehearsed ensue.

He treats a fine
place to wine and
to dine, ere show!
Ceremony
Christmas Tree Lights
City main square.

Union Square drinks,
glasses clinks, the

----------
In my world, 'jokester' and 'cokester'
rhyme with 'jokester' and are two syllables.
Maybe this one's a bit more interesting?
It has short TAIL
Me to TELL now.

Alert at NIGHT
Its eye SIGHT keen

A rare good sou-L
at Mote-L Six
who smel-Led different.
Then she tell m-E
somebo-Dy took
her P-ink wallet.
dropped her O-ff
someplace d-Owntown
I kn-Ow about.
Next I had s-Ort
self-ctr-Olled and
my O-h fresh bills.
Gave same addres-S
like the la-St cab
ride S-aid. Same spot.
Story she h-Ad
was a b-Ag like
purse A-nd not hers.
When we avrr-Ived
I'm surpr-Ised, that's
her, sm-Iling there.
Lady beh-Ind
said out s-Ide Where'd,
you f-Ind it! Well?
I had to lo-Ok,
say, I kn-Ow her,
We're fr-Om Shanghai. (Ladies say to cabbie)
Banana split:
I admit that
I quit fighting.
Where to begin?
A split, when shared:
most inviting.
Scoops number three
by decree; less
will be DQ’d.
They use soft creams
’nilla streams, all,
which seems quite rude.
First chocolate:
that’s a great start;
Why wait for more?
Then strawberry:
likely me, but
now free to soar.
Vanilla bean:
no machine, please!
So clean and nice.
Whipping cream plan:
one long can spraaaay.
Oh man, or twice!
Cherry on top,
time to drop all
and stop hopin’
~~
Last bite must tide;
one more, I’d be
split wide open.

Humbly allowed
myself proud-- of
endowed graces
my will is free
pray for me, for
holy, pure mind
purity's crown
makes some frown, but
i'm down with it
my heart agrees
with Kolbe's, that
we please her heart
Immaculate,
sorrows split, if
admit to sins
humbling my pride
don't just hide, from
God's side of Love
friends are okay
unless they-- lead
astray my soul
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
(1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
Blue soul whispers
nightmare toll on
ice cold pier stroll
