Methinks I'm overdoing these pep talks
You people must be tired and bored
I hereby announce, going back to the sillies
Worry not, it's off my own accord
A niche that's always been my cup of tea
Poetry that includes lots of humour
Get quite a kick out of making folks laugh
Losing my smile's just a rumour
So here we go, are you ready for this stuff
I'm afraid it can get a bit hokay
What did the water say to the cruise ship?
Nothing, it just waved... okay-dokay
Now wasn't that extremely thoughtful of me
Coming up with this comedic gem
I'm not just another pretty face you know
I'm real kind and a genuine friend
Are you ready to bust a gut laughing again
Well maybe I'm exaggerating a bit
Are you ready to pee in your pantaloons
Oops sorry! No off colour quips
I've always been known as a rebellious sort
But I've tried hard to mend my ways
So it's nothing but sillies from this day forward
You can bet all your hard earned pay!
Your eyes pierce my heart
They have from our very start
They're filled with wonderess dimension
So many that even I can not find enough words to mention
But I will try forever to capture your loving eyes
For me they are my lifes most special surprise
As I enjoy breathing air, it has become apparent that life is undeniably better just because you're there
I hope with all my heart
That me seeing you for you
Has been special from our start too
For I am certain you carry a fire within one that brings my water to a boil
I in return will give you emotional depth and love with my every toil
For I see the real you sweetheart for the goddess that you are
Yes there is your outer, but I care are about the you that shines so infinitly far
You do not wear your beauty or use it to charge a toll
You show it in your wisdom and depth, it comes from your very soul
Yes I asked for your time because I saw wonderful beauty in your eyes
Imagine my surprise at your true grace, the real you is not just another pretty face
It's an unpriceable credit to the entire human race
This guy's not just another pretty face
Got brains up my bum, quite a weird place
You guessed it
A bit of a twist
A vision you'll have lots of trouble to erase
This guy's not just another pretty face
Got brains up my bum, quite a weird place
You guessed it
It's a bit of a twist
A vision you'll have lots of trouble to erase
Ya know this guy's not just another pretty face
Got brains up my bum, and other weird places
You guessed it
A bit of a twist
A vision you'll likely have trouble to erase
There’s a dark side to the pretty,
an ugly secret kept locked in a closet
She of perfect body dimensions,
masterpeice artistry muscle tone
Face of smitten appeal
sends gender opposite inhibitions home
But the ugly duckling truth is,
this Cinderella got a beautiful mind
She’s not just another pretty face
Step mama
and step sisters unkind,
know without a doubt
Rella Dee got a beautiful mind
She’s not just another pretty face,
who you think is gonna be an easy lay
Missy R.D
don’t play the tricks of the streets
She doesn’t have a Jezebel bone in her body
Ain’t just another pretty face,
whose gonna get painted like a whore
She’s got a beautiful ebony mind ...
and so much Snow White more
Virgin vanilla is her dove feelings,
chocolate pure is her caramel thoughts of love
Melting hearts with the touch thereof
Just because you think you're special
got news for you my peeps all over the globe
us Canuckies have unique stuff to offer
even in the summer, we walk around in parkas
and mukluks wearing nose tuques
well, that's what the world envisions anyway
actually, we've become quite civilized
since the beginning of the twenty-first century
running water, electricity and even, AND EVEN
free sex in the suburbs!!!
but you must know who to approach
like women!!! THAT'S if you're a male of the species
otherwise... well surely you ladies know!
the ones with stuff down below like well... you know
okay I must calm down or my pooper will pop
phew close call, now I'm gonna be serious
sheep shrink in the rain...
see I'm not just another pretty face!!!
Okay, youse guys you're probably on limerick overload
Gonna back off, from now on some Wordsworth stuff will flow
With nose in the air
And clean underwear
Will prove I'm not just another pretty face, you know
Now this is quite ingenious whatd'ya think
Using the old noodle when life's on the brink
Listen up dear pupils
Saves oodles and oodles
Not just another pretty face wink wink
Ya know this guy's not just another pretty face
Got brains up my bum, and another weird place
You guessed it
A bit of a twist
A vision you'll likely have trouble to erase
This guy's not just another pretty face
Got brains up my bum, quite a weird place
You guessed it
A bit of a twist
A vision you'll have lots of trouble to erase
THEY SAID BY THIS TIME WE WOULD
ALL HAVE CHIPS IN OUR HANDS
Sharp- tack like. Smart- in the way of the whip.
Not just another pretty face
Another prepay throwaway phone number
A melting face scorching heat summer
This deity of feminine endings
A portable telecom utilize powered solar waves
Sentience to embrace
Not just a common *****
Romance to begin
A deathly contentment witch
Cellular radio telephonic device
Your fate dwells depending
A sentence to this
Sewn on Siamese twin
A human centipede stitch
To connect via radio frequency
All these men a chip in their hand?
The chips already there
They hold it everyday
And Candy-crush
Facebook
Angry-birds
Zombies of hypnotic freemium turds
They have implanted the chip
You swore you never would succumb
It is either attached to your hip
Or glued to your thumbs
In irony
(Zombie gardening apt analogy)
Unsung Hero Audrey
Audrey Hepburn, not just another pretty face
Eloquent little girl, fragile beauty, boundless grace
Danced upon the stage and world
A young star started out with humble voice and noble causes
Accomplished ballerina making money on her early path
And running messages deep within the Dutch Resistance
WWII was no simple feat for Audrey and her selfless acts
If caught in both activities it meant an instant death
By those in opposition to her quest
But she prevailed. All that has passed
And she remained with us as blessed
The Hepburn Children’s Fund for fighting hunger
And UNICEF continue with her aid, at her bequest
Though she is gone, no longer with us
Her causes continue on with energy and spirit
The world still sings her song
Our hero, we love you Audrey, unsung little one
We sing your praises
Rest in peace sweet princess
Created 7/31/14 for - Unsung Hero contest

playing pool on a Saturday night
long neck in hand, juke plays behind
jeans and boots and cowboy hats
Saturday night, and I'm kicking back
the tune on the juke becomes real slow
you saunter up, to give me a go
if you want to dance cowboy
there is something you oughta know
I'm tough as nails, soft as velvet
my heart is cold and melts like butter
if you want to dance with me
better get some things straight
I'm not just another pretty face
much to my surprise, one dance lead to another
soon I've told you things, I haven't even told my mother
and you're fessing up to some secrets of your own
no matter how this plays, I'm going home alone
you get my number and tell me you will call
maybe you will, maybe you won't all
it doesn't really matter, one way or another
it was just a pool hall night that turned out right
now every Saturday night, I'm playing pool with you
longnecks in hand and we haven't missed a cue
and when they play our song we're out on that floor
you've melted my heart and left me wanting more
