To stop you ending in a lump!

Invisible
You’ve been toeing the line
from the onset 
twiddling your thumbs 
while you waited your turn 
keeping your wobbly chin up
even as gloom piles up and
begins to dampen even 
the upper crust 
But then fortune prances...

All the karmic forces came in and settled themselves down upon the fence
As the two parties arrived; with their arms full, of their grounds of defence

The learned judge cleaned his glasses and yawns; he’s seen...

The Boar of Dumm - a Jabberwocky Parody
'Twas later in the afternoon

When the work of the day was done:

Many sat waiting for the moon,

Idly twiddling their thumbs.



'Beware the Boar of Dumm, my son!

The eyes that dull, the yawns that tire,

Beware the slowing...

Through the Fog
The answer came without a clue.
When I finally made it through.

Of yesterday's polluted smog.

Unfinished
I have yet to walk across the stage

Bottled up anger, I’ve inhaled all my rage

Alone twiddling their thumbs, 
the chaotic mastermind 
sat in eternal quander of why

the mastermind’s thoughts stood clamoring...

Premium Member I Live a Limbo At Work
I live in a limbo, wired trance every day,
Hands up in the air at a chair.
Expected to sit, silently screaming inert, 
Eyes closed to professional flare.
