Premium MemberTwo seasoned horses

I tuned into yesterday's presidential debate
where neither candidate came across great.
Two seasoned horses at the gate, one will
determine this country's fate.
Too many problems on our plate and they
began to argue about some thing innate..
The borders, inflation, and two wars in our
lap and these old blokes discussed which
golfer has the better handicap!!!

Parly to con-verse, lia to mislead or inform
Mindfully as in (ment) 
Parli is part of a word that explains, with
lia in the middle who so often complains
Ment to misdirect one.. Or billions? its moot?

To distort our mentality..What can it all be about?
Parl lia ment if you've noticed says it all in its name!

It might not

HuH!!!
there be no honey bees in the winter
naked are the trees
NO! cold Pepsi Cola no RC
Heated are the harden heart, which are no longer gold
the deaf, the blind, the invalids screams not,
nor are their voices heard

My sister Lucile sold her acoustic guitar
To buy a hot motor scooter with a sidecar
Her bad luck, they soon separated
On which she hadn’t calculated
But I said, “For her that’s definitely a par!”

Ukraine War Is With Hell At Par

War deeply cuts my heart,
I don't know how to comfort

Children are equal to God,
They are Angels on the Sod

God cries when they suffer,
In this matter, he won't differ

Separation from mom and dad
Will make fragile minds bad

This must be never at all had
This makes noble souls sad

Ooze out blood tears
Come only cruel fears

Can't imagine that state
It

Faith Is Trust

Things happen
and we get caught nappin’.

Have you given God charge in your life?
Can you really rest in Him and stay calm in strife?
Do you sound out His orders on your drum and fife?

With sacred drum set a steady pace,
with fife add notes of grace,
stress to face.

Live in peace
In praying never cease

giving thanks, when the rains

With ebb and flow your phrases make sense,
With remarkable meter and exquisite rhyme.

Humble Tribute To Jo Daniel - a Poet Par Excellence

"When The Snow Melts", 
When "Spring Is In The Air"
When "Tears Of The Sky" shower blessings
When"Zephyr's Silky Tendrils" caresses us
When "A Nightingale Sings Of Dawn's Glory"
When basking in "Sunset Silence"
When "Night Sky's Party" is splendid...

We thank our "Saviour"
for the"The Luxury Of Breathing"
for "Bottomless Love" 
We are "On Cloud Nine"!

When we are filled with "A Sense

Premium MemberPar For the Course - a Bit Bawdy

There is a golfer from Lima, Peru
        On each of his balls, a llama tattooed
          Up and down his scores jump
          Like a llama's big hump

Premium MemberBarrabas By Par Lagerkvist

just like I did
you’ll read this short novel
with bated breath

in the first few pages
you’ll realize this story is one
you know all too well

yet the book is narrated
by someone who has no clue
a rebel intrigued and mystified

compelled like a magnet to find answers
and you omniscient follow his journey
but it’s how it speaks to your heart

the intrigue

Premium MemberPlaying the Skins Game

There was a pair 
Both having creative flair 
Then another two 
Having nothing to do 
Twins on two wheels 
Looking for a steal 
No need for a club 
Being in the woods with these guys who were studs 
Partying at the lake 
Spending what they make 
Not thinking this is a mistake 
A DJ was
