This guy looks (and smells) like a loser in every way.
Why does he have to hang around my table today?
Right now, I wish he would turn around and go away.
For the last few days, he has been in this casino.
He is certainly nobody I would want to know.
Overindulging, he has lost every penny to his name.
People who end up like him are surely a shame.
This is an individual who really should not stay.
Ship this guy out of here, and send him to Guantanamo Bay!

Brainstorm
faith’s open palms
vigilant in drought
sunburns brighter, moonshines boozy
grinning
Rainstorm
rustling the leaves
slurry stirred by lightning
overindulging town prayers
applause

Behind the elaborate mask I wear
Beyond the depths of blue soulful eyes
Beneath the painted lips and coiffured hair
my tears flow into an estuary of sorrowful cries
I'm a ripe peach dangling from a tree
temptation before you, ready for picking
but rotted at the core, where you cannot see
I would defile your tongue upon your first licking
I'm a beguiling sampling of fine wine
a sniff, a swirl before reaching your lips
but by overindulging in the fruit of my vine
you may cause your own downfall, an apocalypse
I'm the delicate petals of a fragrant rose
A beauty to behold, but be vigilant of thorns
Drawing blood is a perilous danger they impose
For in all her regal splendor, a betrayed woman scorns

When little human babies are told at birth
How stupid, dumb and ignorant they are
Incalculable damage occurs even if done with mirth.
Feelings of worthlessness follows their star.
Damage like this is not easily undone.
Being called mean words is truly not fun.
It remains with you for the rest of your days
Especially if it came from those who were given you to raise.
So if you are hearing parents call their children names.
Please let them know the damage is no kind of game.
These angry words could cripple them in all kinds of ways.
Much better to risk overindulging and give them some praise.

Cheers For The New Year
We cheer for the New Year at twelve a.m.
Twirling noisemakers and blowing ticklers
And make resolutions we plan to engram.
And party away wearing silly tams
Singing Auld Lang Syne with our sweethearts
And cheer for the New Year at twelve a.m.
Conscious boasts, though we know it’s a sham
The mind is strong, but the body is weaker
And make resolution we plan to engram.
And swing to music played by the band
Stepping on toes amid dance capers
And cheer for the New Year at twelve a.m.
While overindulging in hams and drams,
And tell ourselves we will change later
And make resolutions we plan to engram.
Company abounds chattering flimflam
Sitting around the table sharing laughter,
We cheer for the New Year at twelve a.m.
And make resolutions we plan to engram.

Binging and overindulging with chocolate after a hectic day at work
Eating more than ten fun size chocolate candies without any pause
Risking the glucose levels of blood to rise to a higher unhealthy level
Affecting the progress made with nutrition modification and exercise
Fruits are now an essential element in the daily food requirements
Keeping at bay the sugar cravings that add pounds to the waist
Eating more healthy, the overall health improves dramatically
Achieving a transformed new body and a clean bill of health

A scornful attitude towards others
Inordinate in longing for status
Concuspicent of the carnal desires
Evoke wrath in ideas responses
Overindulging in consuming foods
Copying the traits and abilities
Showing laziness in the own duties
