Measuring Vice

A serving size they say is wise
Never issued a measuring cup
Nobody led with avoid demise
Here take a sweet nothing, yup!

How do you quantify gluttony?
Misrecognition from the start
Is it hunger or just bad company?
The hollow sale of a poisoned dart

measuring big foots prints

I was not expecting to see big foot’s prints in the snow
When I came upon them to my horse I yelled “whoa!”
Took out my turquoise tape and measured one of them too.
Sixteen inches long, and the width was longer than my boo.

A Literal Dick Measuring Contest

I laid down my long schlong 
On a table full of kong dongs
The judges had short tongs 
To flip the dongs flop
the men and women on song 
You wouldn't guess who won?
God, Tom, John, Cock?
No, you are so wrong 
It was not my long schlong 
Or Johns God  throbbing Cock 
It was  Moscow

Measuring With Metrics

Little is less than a lot
And most is not a few
I need a handle on this
So I know what to do
When measuring more
Into my favorite recipe
For a palmful is okay
Measuring for me …
Then come the metrics
Confusing me more
I cannot read labels
In the grocery store
I know about ounces
Milligrams are strange
And what is a liter
I cannot exchange
Guess

Measuring the Worst Rape

I have the criminalizing tape
For measuring the worst rape
And appropriately dealing with the Debased Ape:
The length of time victim’s mouth had remained agape
And the rapist’s victorious shouts of YEE-EP!
The ‘I-can-choke-you-to death!’on her nape
And victim’s tightening teeth of sour grape;
Also, her dozen-times-tried-dozen-times failed escape
And the iron pants she would now over the poor thing drape.

Father Will I Ever Measure Up

I Have Read Some of Your Book, the Stories told and the Positive Messages it attempts to Portray.


I Believe in them, But Don’t know if I Can Live up To Them?


To Prove My Worth as A Man, I Seek Power, Influence, Monetary Wealth and Prestige.


I Think of Being Virtuous, A Man Of Character, Humble and

Measuring a Corn Field

The whole world I can measure in this cornfield.
Why would I need
to go to Indiana or Pennsylvania
or Katmandu?

Ohio is right here, and the rattling gold of the corn is here.
Yes Indiana has its rustic temples also ~
as does Kentucky and Idaho,
all over the world the sky is wide open
and the green and yellow corn is

Measuring God

How are you going to do it?
How do you weigh the Infinite?
How do you measure the Absolute?
How do you test the IQ of Omniscience? 

Would you measure God for a suit?
Would you ask His age,or how much
money He has in the Bank of Heaven?
What about race, or His education?
What are His interests, likes or dislikes,
pet

Measuring Our Intentions

I GAVE UP BEING A STRANGER
WHEN I BECAME YOUR FRIEND
I GAVE UP ON BEING YOUR FRIEND
WHEN I BECAME YOUR LOVER
I NEVER STOPPED LOVING YOU:
EVEN WHEN YOU BECAME MY FIANCEE.
I'LL NEVER STOP LOVING YOU NOW
THAT YOU HAVE AGREED TO BE MY WIFE.


LOVE INSPIRES US TO LOOK TO THOSE TOMORROWS
WERE WE HAVE NEED TO BELONG
TO BE TOGETHER

Measuring the Depth of Misery

The young mind weaved the tapestry of dream
as the expectant mother floating on cloud nine.
The flower of future she perceived with pleasure
blooming, its petals touching her within softly
sparking so much of adored excitement dormant
that melted in the nightmare of relentless tears
for the new premature life was born still.

Her mind took time to rise from debris

Monty's Measuring Tape

From the moment they gave him the measuring tape
That's the second Monty started to measure away
Measuring this and measuring that
From the round side of rings to the square side of flat

He measured the span on the wings of a fly
The knees of the bees as they buzzed him by
He measured the toot from the sound

Measuring Up

They had all taken leave
said their farewells.

The transplant team were harvesting
Frank's heart, kidneys, eyes
purposeful, tense
I waited with Kevin
the youngest
who'd disappointed
never measured up 
to the expectations of his father.

This was his moment of resolve
to say his own farewell 
to his father's cadaver
in spite of the nurse's caution 
that Frank would be drained
white.

He accepted advice that I

Measuring Monuments

So much education
No wiser for the cost
Given over to lofty ideas
The reason for what was lost

All the tools in the box
To chisel an honorable name
What appeal is in the dirt
When you could've opted for fame

Behind a silver counter
When you could be sitting at a desk
You could have been GREAT
But you wanted to be less

~than all

Measuring Years

"measuring years"

how do I measure the years
do I start at the beginning or the end
will it cover the many tears
anger and bitterness I will not defend
just let me be to have my mind
as the years of pain are intertwined
years one and two and counting are gone
I know there will be a new dawn
I know all
