The Charm Offensive Extrapolation
I wasn't as surprised
as I should’ve been—
grayed avatar,
dead links,
cached titles still looking
to lead somewhere.
And here I am,
already down
a cell phone—
with FedEx in no hurry,
nothing left
to refresh-obsess over.
What’ll I do
with all this time?
Not that this is about me—
or is it?
By the power of Strunk & White,
have mercy,
I hope
I can take at least
partial credit.
I’ll

The drone of birds in war offensive
hear the drone of war
pity the birds, amassing
way out there someplace,
they'll be back in droves to drone
the piteous drum of war

When 'Defensive' is Offensive
Israel has every right to defend itself

How do they think that would play?

A ditty to my titty
A ditty to my titty
There you are upon my chest
You used to be the boob I loved best
But now all you do is cause me grief
I just need a moments relief
But you would rather swell and cause me pain
Make my skin itch again and again
This journey so far , has been too long
I’m starting to

Offensive banners
Why are we seeing isis flags? that waved before above
Those who were to be be-headed !!
Why does the government not put such horror to bed?
Where is the right to live in peace?
A Britian integral, where all should live with all surceace
Wholly free' no iron fist; no foreign law.'
The senses of the people, I feel are

Devilishly Stupid Offensive Things To Say
Your mother must be ohh so proud
of you
Of all the complex things and thoughts
you have to say
Choose to write down and post
Oh how I bet she must share them
with all the other countless mother
stork's
Have them printed and placed above
her fireplace in gothic crucifix frames
Just incase the devil pop's in for
afternoon tea and a

Everything's Offensive
Offensive is a common word,
And used a little much.
Some will use it for a crutch,
For every little thing they heard,
And then speak out as such.
Everything’s offensive.
It really just depends,
On who it least offends,
if it’s that extensive,
And how the statement ends.
Say perhaps a garden bed,
The home of many flowers,
Beautiful are thoughts of ours,
But offended those who

Meditations of An Offensive Lineman
MEDITATIONS OF AN
OFFENSIVE LINEMAN
I am the essence
of patience and method
No reckless trash talk; I never
say a word
I am John Henry, harder,
A hammer on your bones driving
spikes through your soul and
your disintegrating self esteem
We have a chunky young
tailback who dances through
turbulence like light through the
trees in a storm borne by wind
When he runs with

A bug-eyed and smarmy young rat,
Was eating a big lump of fat,
A guy that he knew,
Said "You can't! You're a Jew!"
He replied "It's not bacon you pratt!"

The Fight That Changed the World
Satan licked his chops in perverse anticipation
His excitement reached an unprecedented level
culminating in a deranged euphoria
that invigorated the evil energies within
He smiled in an unnervingly sinister manner
as he stepped forward into the darkness
He had been waiting for this opportunity
since, essentially, the beginning of time
As Satan moved forward,
he saw a figure huddling and shivering
in the furthest

Go Be Offensive
I was skimming the internet
and found a man who preached,
can’t ever say that I’d agree
with any of his speech.
He hated nuclear power,
said that it should be banned,
that is was just a folly and
would be the end of man.
So I asked this man if he thought
that we faced climate change?
He said he did, so I said

Quy Nhon and the Tet Offensive
Quy Nhon and The Tet Offensive
By Franklin Price
9/2/2018
Quy Nhon and the Tet offensive, more than fifty years ago
That Chinese New Year changed our world and most its ebb and flow
Until that day the boonies were the combat place of plan
Tet brought the war to cities for every woman, child and man
I was TDY to Phu

in a constant

quarrelsome
battle field
which exists
within this
intrusive mentality
brought up from the past
into the present killing
