Insist Long List of Rascist

what they did insist
must add them to a longlist
those they call racist's

would not let him in
lonely little men had been
from knee came some skin

a nomenclature
does exist in all nature
pretty when mature

had heard sound of train
had looked through my window pane
saw small deer in rain

would hear whippoorwill
which was always such a thrill
nighty had a slight chill

A Very Long List

Happy birthday, dear Rona Jane, 
World's woes show a very long list; 
Man's life on earth is full of pain, 
In heaven, there's a glorious bliss.

Never Resist a Long List

Never Resist a Long List

Were tempted and could never resist,
After having to read down a long list,
We had adored,
And not afford;
Then on table would pound our fist.

Long List of Presidents

Long List of Presidents

Of Presidents had looked down a long list;
Reached end  and no names were missed;
Rooting then tooting,
Was always for Putin;
Declared current President a Communist.

Oh Wow a Great Big Long List

Ten times a fish cake can be as explosive as an atomic earwig playing with a red hot poker. But a reclusive sea horse often climbs up a cliff. But only when the moon is fat, round, and pink with some blue. Blueberries on the other hand chase pillows around on a street. It is rather interesting and entertaining too. But ooohs and aaahs from sealed bras are neither can can dancers, flip flops or flamingos. So always trip over at least once over a mop bucket especially when ironing a pair of spotted silky trousers. Most often it is deemed necessary for an iron spoon to see a film at a cinema. Cinematic clothes choosing charming chatting chequered creations. And all the little bugs wave. Good. Fish in a pan of stew with a maggot then. Fantastic. Xxxxxxx beautification Z Z Z Z Z
