Premium MemberI'm just starting - in Trump's own words

Everything I've touched has turned to gold,
A feeling that never gets too worn or old,
I savor every moment, every win,
With my opponents stuck in their unsightly bin.

The more they shout and flail their arms,
The more my inner soul it calms,
Their din is music to my ears,
It gives me pep; it takes off years.

My aims are

Mouldy Fear Fugue

  
she drinks mouldy fear in morning 
the morning needing vit C vit C
team Alice alliterates twig pieces to be 
to be sprouting green leaves true blue 
sweeping bits onto dustpan hue true  
grit to cubes which only they read heed 
using time making dough row seed
painting faces so cute for pic to

Premium MemberOut of Respect

At the monument to the Roman Emperor Hadrian near the Tower
There is no place to put flowers
But if they made a pedestal there
And wrote Put your flowers here
I’ve no doubt that
People would bring their flowers to the foot of the statue
Out of respect for law and order
What a good move that would be
And politically useful
Some

Premium MemberEveryone Knows It’s Wendy’s

Verse I

Who serves up burgers in pie squares 
calling them different I’d beware?           
Who makes the golden arches look rusty
stealing the crown from ol’ Burger King?
Who dulls Taco Bell’s ring?
Everyone knows it’s Wendy’s

Premium MemberMy Favourite Things

Bagels have holes in, my garden has moles in
Some teeth have gold in and some text has bold in
Teeth, moles and text is a song no one sings
But holes must be some of my favourite things

Donuts have holes in, the ocean has shoals in
I’ve got a door that is letting the cold in
Seas, fish and

Superman's Disguise

Suppose for a moment
Superman had no nose
Three eyes
And one leg three inches too short
He’d surely need a better disguise…

Or would he?

Premium MemberPenny Laine

As he gently pressed his lips against her photograph
His one last hope; to see her once again
A tear ran down his cheek as he spoke her name…
Penny Laine

He sits there with the roof down on his motor car
And cursed the rock on which she tripped and fell
The lifeboats; they had searched the sea in pouring

Premium MemberAn AI Walks into a Poetry Contest

It rhymed “desire” with “funeral pyre,” 
and closed with “...thus, I stand redeemed.” 
The judge said, “Odd—no space, all fire.”

Each line marched out like neat attire, 
iambs in rows, a formal dream— 
it rhymed “desire” with “funeral pyre.”

An echo here, a fractured lyre, 
a sunset soaked in self-esteem …
The judge said, “Odd—no space, all fire.”

Ode to the Voice I Never Wanted to Hear

Oh, the joy of telemarketers,
Who call you up without a care,
With offers they believe are clever,
But really just provoke despair.

They call with grand insurance plans,
Covid kits and credit schemes,
As if I’m some prized target
For their automated dreams.

“End-of-life” expense protection —
Oh, what a cheery nightly theme!
I nod along sarcastically
Inside my caller-haunted dreams.

And then there’s Medicare, of

Class Reunion Dreamin'

All my friends are round 
And their hair is gray 
I can hardly walk 
On class reunion day 
I'd be safe and warm 
If I'd stayed in bed today 
Class reunion dreamin' 
Oh what a telling day

Fell down in a lurch
When stumbling 'long the way
Well, I got up on my knees 
And there I was

Madmen leaked a rash of sky-blue puddle;
fatally cloistered the hat-flu's hubble -

To wit:

- the half-time half-life smile of she and the other half-wonder of me.

Far far ready to say maybe to love;
moved in half-dream to plumb half-baked memories.

You took this man from rags to riches..When you spent all
Heaven had to spare.' Your Sons blood bought me real redemption..Oh Father how you truly care.'

Now I'll no longer be that beg-gar.' You've made my golden
Dreams come true..' For He took my rags and gave back
Riches, now my destiny is up to you.'

21st Century Emperor's

The emperors have no clothes on!
People are living in a trance
Psychologists like to call it cognitive dissonance
Perhaps even a carefully crafted chance
To see what isn't there, only to praise a hollow show,
While truth and reason disappear, common senses go.
It’s just simply a situation gone sad
I can’t help but wonder, have we been had or merely
