Premium Member This Poem is Ridiculous

There once was a red kangaroo
Fell in love with a white cockatoo
Met in a suburb called Woolloomooloo
Decided a family they'd breed 
But couldn't fornicate to plant viable seed
The relationship finally fell through

There once was a little echidna
Said to wallaby let's get together I'll wed ya
Great nuptial feast in Willcannia
They exchanged wedding vows
Then danced many hours
Then undressed from wedding regalia

There once was a hairy young bandicoot
Was courting mallee fowl  what a hoot
Amazingly, arrived, fancy offspring, what a  brilliant offshoot
They went to reside on a big cattle farm
A successful relationship full of much charm
He played the fiddle whilst she played the flute

There once was an eagle flew high in the sky
Saw down below, a koala, unable to fly
Let's tie the knot, until the day that we die
Lived in a town with the title of Berri
Crossed Murray river aboard a fine ferry
A relationship full of fun and much laughter, Koalas humour resoundingly dry

There once was a devoted, spiritual wombat
To pray 'twas on his backside that's how he sat
Lived all alone in a bush habitat
Forever he wished that he would stay single
No desire to have marriage vows jingle
Made his home, far from the city of old Ballaarat

I awaken at midnight, kangaroo bouncing, inside of my head
This poem's ridiculous but I've said what I've said
Now it's complete I'll go back to my bed
Hope I have cleared all of this bouncing, can once again  sleep
If I'm unable will have to revert, to counting some sheep
I've warned you once, but I'll warn you again this poem's ridiculous but I've said what I said

Love In Marriage By Weston Gregory

Love in Marriage 

For this reason, love precious joy
is shared, expressed; 
that within the confine of marriage 
its significance, are memories 
though sometime small 
hold the most potent experience.

Marrraige is a give and take
love is a give all you can take 
marriage is equal estate, 
love gift offering keeps you
fill while never sate.

For satisfaction, love though 
is not lacking in conviction,
marriage on the other hand
is truly the best one, 
offering completion one to 
another to safe guard our 
institutions.

From seeing its growth, 
feeling its unadulterated dose,

the best strokes.

are the loveliness of our children 
when mom and dad tie the knot.

A bond of inclusiveness
A bond resolved on two people
promise to share in matrimony 
love for all eternity.

Synthetic Epidemic

Yet another soul taken away.
Another family's loss is great.
Another time tears rolled down this face.
Why won't they realize its purpose and quit making these mistakes 

Barely an adult still having child like thoughts
Barely coping with life and all that it's brought
Numbing the emotions is what is sought
But death is all that's caught.

They feel these struggles these days it's so hard to make ends meet
Opportunities are few they can't seem to get on their feet.
They prefer to forget their failures prefer to just sleep
And while attempting to be okay they forget to breathe

They look peaceful like the pain has left
But little do we know they are dangling so close to death
In a minute it's slows to one maybe two or just three breaths
And then....

They are gone right before your eyes
We scream to the heavens begging to know why
Our hearts our souls are devasted as our eyes cry.
Breaking us inside

It takes away our ability to cope
Some choosing the drug some not even knowing it's in their dope.
Killing the same whether or not you know 
So little of this drug can end  all hope

Listen to me hear what I am saying
If you know they are doing drugs then don't even play
Don't kick them out or push them away
Don't feed their habits but understand their ways

They don't mean to hurt you. No it's not an excuse. 
They want to be okay, to be clean but wonder what's the use. 
These days are hard even more so for our youth.
The pandemic, desocialization, struggling in work, at home, and in school. 

Give them knowledge, give them a reason to hope. 
Show them different ways to be okay and to cope. 
Don't belittle the addict, don't tie the knot in the rope. 
Restore their faith, don't let them turn even more to dope.

Don't whisper accusation
Don't deliver ultimatums 
Don't end relations
Don't add to their equations

Be honest, speak up, make your thoughts and feelings quite apparent. 
Allow them to show emotions as they scream and rant. 
Listen when they say they wish they could stop but feel that they can't.
Don't roll your eyes thinking that they can. 

Its dangerous and painful withdrawals,  emotionally and physically.
Don't push them away. They will need their family. 
And not just financially. 
Be patient for they'll recover eventually.
Stop the useless fatalities.

Premium Member Never Dated An Irish Lass

Al had dated many women from France, Spain, England and such.
you have never dated an Irish lassie though? Asked his brother Dutch.
not yet, he admitted, are they different than the ones I have squired?
Dutch said, ”You would have your hands full, now until you get retired.”

Colleen was an Irish beauty, with ginger hair and a verdant eye stare.
Al tried to look away, but the idea of dating her was more than a dare.
Colleen laughed when he approached, acted like he was a Boston dope.
he was soon spending all his hours washing himself with zesty soap.

he wanted to impress Colleen; she was the best he had ever seen.
she had her brothers look him over, Al to them was not quite keen.
this cinched the deal, and the young couple ran to tie the knot.
with a five-year-old, a four-year-old, a two-year-old; they are still very hot!

Purpose

I've always wondered what I wanted to be
A beautiful bird that flies or a fish in the sea?
A rocky mountain to climb to the very top 
Or simply a mother and wife to tie the knot

I've always said I could be what I wanted to be
Or a stationary plum or sweet apple tree
A stream that sings you lullabies to sleep
Or a scary spider or snake --- free to creep

It wasn't until tonight what I wanted to be I recall
An author, mother, wife, and Officer of the Law
A colorful shape to fight evil on good's side
But also a mother and wife I want to confide

An author of poetry --- I'll write to my full emotion
A mother of a son whom I'll love with all devotion
A wife to a man who Heaven and Earth I will move
And an Officer of Law to bring the town good news

Of all of my purposes the questions I've asked
Of all this wasted time inside I have basked
I believe tonight I answered my life's purpose
And established the starting stone of a new surface

Premium Member The Strange Marriage of Love and Pain

Love and Pain
Decided to get married
I know it seems strange
For you would have expected
Love and affection to want to tie the knot
After all…they were similar
They socialized in the same set of word families
The artistonyms
Love and passion also wanted
To be forever joined
That everyone condoned and blessed

But, oh, how everyone laughed
At the strange request
Of Love and Pain 	
To be wed
“What’s wrong with your head?
You two are from different worlds
From antonym slums
You can’t unite
And become one!”

Love held on to Pain
And would not let her go….
He smiled a knowing smile
“There has never been
One of us without the other
We belong…
For only when you truly encounter Love
Will you experience Pain.”

Pain shed a tear
And yet she smiled
“Where Love exists
I hover near…
Have no fear
Our union will produce
Beautiful babies
Love sires Joy
A darling child
Love fathers Peace
And Tranquility, in turn
These are the children we will bear
But do beware
Love can’t survive, without Me
For how would He know
How would He be certain
That he is alive….and well
Were it not for ME!

And so Love and Pain
Were wed
Amongst great fanfare
It was a match made in heaven
For never did they depart
One from another

Love and Pain?
Not so insane
Everyone did testify
That one did not come
Without the other
They were tied together
Inseparable
Nothing could come between them
Except their little babies
The most beautiful mixed babies
That eye shall ever see!
Sweet harmony
Of Love and Pain
Who lived.......companionably ever after!

Premium Member The Splendor of Love

They Will Never Understand.....

The fullness of your love that forever is in my hands.
Nor the joy in my heart that lives, though we are miles apart.
People wonder, why didn’t you marry another man?
As if that Hellenic angel, can ever be replaced by another face.

I cannot think of more sadder fate.
Shallow, shallow, they understand me not! I have an eternal mate!
A symphonic joy designed by the fates.

They think I need a ring and white dress and must tie the knot?
I must give up the joy of my life that literally moves this pen?
Never! Not Even tomorrow! What a sorrow!

A fate worse than death and with poison, filled to the brim.
A daily chalice of sorrow to exist in?
I know who I am eternally committed to...
Allow me the space to be me, and please, be you!

My heart made of red roses and the finest lace.
And beats only for his embtace.
In eternity, is our home and everlasting space.
A tapestry of stars, waiting for our eager embrace!

Premium Member - Soft Swan Wings -

You are a jeweled gift sparkling diamond rock temple 
One of thousand in the world touched petal by petal 

Skies above true blue wrapped cotton white emotions 
Arches over our earthly plains east to west one circle 

Inside silk ribbon feelings tie the knot perfectly 
With wings of a swan bound unto you eternally

In you who crowns the heart with passions ignite magic 
When the sky was falling into the promised land chants 

Carnation of a flower deeply stirring dewdrops rose 
In light of the rainbow mountains shone glitter dust

Loving you morning and night never goes out of fashion 
Amor helped to ignite flames that burn purely with love

Premium Member The Bow Tie Wins

Ryan and Amy are getting married next month…as couples often do…
As the father of the groom in honor of their tying the knot…I thought I’d tie one too.

When I found the perfect bow tie…I knew I had to buy it…
and by my calculations I had two months in which to learn to tie it.

The bow tie, however, came with no directions…in the box just one untied tie and nothing more…but I was undeterred…after all…that’s what You Tube videos are for.

So I Googled the easiest way to tie a bow tie and a smiling man came into view…
He said this is easy…not to worry…do exactly what I do.

And I tried…I really tried to do exactly what he did…I tried with all my might…
but I realized after 70 years upon this Earth I didn’t know my left hand from my right.

And he was much too hard to follow…his hands moved too quickly to and fro…
when he was finished tying…I hadn’t even started a bow.

My confidence was beginning to wane…but I still had my tenacity…
I have put together IKEA furniture…one little bow tie would not get the better of me.

So I turned to another You Tube video…then a a third, a fourth, a fifth…
after which I was certain the easiest way to tie a bow tie was nothing but a myth.

I even printed out written directions where after each step I could stop and check…
but the finished bowtie in the picture never matched the one around my neck.

After one month of painstaking practice…I finally had it down…
When I showed Deborah she asked, “Did you mean to make it quite big…you look more like a clown.”

She was right but no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t make that bow tie small…
and looking like a clown at Ryan and Amy’s wedding…well that won’t do at all.

So when they tie the knot next month…
my hand tied bow tie is a fantasy I now have shed…
I wonder if Ryan and Amy would be happy….
with something from IKEA instead.
