A Lot of Nerve
I prefer raw dates to most candidates
Robert to Bill Gates
Watching mine to lifting weights
fewer versus more states
Some call me a rock-ribbed conservative

Do I have the Nerve
White foamy waves like a spider’s web
Rising out of the water, surrounding the point
The cliffs are darker at this time of year
No breeze today, so this is a natural spring
Irish spring, how marvelous
I wonder about the dangers of getting closer
Dare I try my feet on these giant rocks?
What if I plunge into the depths of

Now that you are gone, I ask myself if you
Ever loved me. You
Really played me for a fool. I must admit you have ice in your
Veins. You had the gall to convince me you
Even cared.

True colors
A recent brush with death,
makes most people reflect..
They stop and think of God,
not just give him a nod..
It's been less then two weeks
and Trump's back to nasty tweets..
True colors flaring again, slings
mud at Joe Biden.
This man has got the nerve,
"Biden's not fit to serve".
President Biden deciding not to rerun,
not enough for some Republicans..

Beware of our nerve asinine
Not all cheers come but from cloud nine,
Nor every vintage is good wine,
Nor just in fools’ fiefdom
Fools are fonts of wisdom,
Beware of man’s nerve asinine.

She can be a jerk, a meanie, she is a pretty big a...
Along the way I see throw up all over the hall floor.
I use my walkie to call the custodian to come to this door.

Nerve the Gifted
Nerve is a mind neatly lit,
In many things neatly fit,
His best weapon Dancing Wit;
Quite a great deal of The Writ.
He knows how to with them hit,
As his rivals their teeth grit
For being made to seem Nit Wit.
A thousand brows Nerve would knit,
His strength against champions pit,
Cause them to with force down sit
All challengers in

On My Last Nerve
Old curmudgeons who poke and prod
Acting like they are always near to God,
Having nothing of value to do or say
Admonishing me to kneel and pray,
Get on my nerves, and make me mad,
And when they go, I’m awfully glad.
I do not admire their toxic attitudes,
These geezers who truck in platitudes
To think you, hypocrite, know of love
Your

Verve of My Nerve
History, forgotten element of man`s life
Adage of forgiving and forgetting
Messing and proceeding on the solemn assembly
Expunging and blotting life-long terribly
but carefully committed and covered-up tracks.
If at all the inanimate had ears and eyes
We would all be at ransom for our lives
If mistakes could be made up and rounded
up to significance of our lives
humanity would erode

Bragging Iguana Was On My Last Nerve
The bragging iguana was on my last nerve.
He ran into a cloud after he took a fast swerve.
He’s such a show off! For an inventor I said.
He had invented a tea kettle hot air balloon bed.
His invention traveled all over the meadow today.
Some easily influenced children were shouting hooray.
I was annoyed by his attitude; he

You'Ve Got Alot of Nerve
After shutting off the bedroom
lights by closing my eyes; I see
sparks of fireworks in my mind
thinking synaptically.
It's not in anyway a day
to celebrate nor holiday,
so making me more to
think feeding with fuel
thoughts forgotten, now done
brought up from depths not
sought; for caution when
stepping on the edge
of what's surely the deepest depths
of my mind's

Some People Have a Lot of Nerve
I’m tempted to backhand the ones who call
us sixty-somethings old or elderly.
How dare they use such terms describing me?
Infuriating! Boy, do they have gall!
