Square Peg, Round Hole

Catch them when they're young
and shape their tiny minds
by telling them to colour
inside the lines
kids are our precious resource
nurture their dreams for the future
break them on the wheel of control
and kill the spirit destroy the soul
conditioned at an early age
they'll be at a loss
when they're told to think
outside the box
complicit in your conspiracy
avoiding confrontation
it's not a guiding hand
it's manipulation
you can't squeeze a square
peg into a round hole
they are who they
are it is what it is
can't pound a square peg
into a round pigeon hole
let them be and mind your own biz

Beg To See Leg With Peg

when we would rehearse
shallow we had found our purse
things will become worse

we could comprehend
that rules will have to amend
prayers to God send

mouth started to sag
when he had been known to brag
ball would have to shag


always great to know
bad news when off big mouth blow
we had told them so

from will have to rid
attitude would be rancid
acted like a kid

when we crossed the track
we will not be coming back
had burned down our shack

when we saw his wart
lied and sold people short
could end up in court

when we saw him beg
we had looked at his each leg
one would wear a peg

once we knew a judge
after we did start to nudge
he would have to fudge

landed in hay loft
was allergic and had coughed
yet still would be soft

thought that he was cute
dumber than cake with much fruit
big mouth off would shoot

had heard latest tweet
his toes did stick out of sheet
which covered his feet

Peg

DREAM BIG, NEXT TIME, DREAM BIGGER.
CAPITAL BITTER HILL GURU BEAST.
CAMILLE IS NOW A STATE OF MIND.

MEG, PEG, SLAY IT'S A DIFFERENCE.
DON'T PUNISH THE PRISIONERS, AND
OUR ART OF WAR, POLITICAL PRIZZI'S HONOR.

NEXT TIME PEG HAVE A LEG HERO.
DESPICABLE US, DOUBLE DARE, SECOND
CHANCE AT LIFE.  STAY WITH THE ANN LIVELY,
MINORITY REPORT.  

SUNG SHI GU FU.
PEG'S NAME ON A MEDALLION.
MATTER STAYED BLACK.
PEGASUS LIVES ON, WHAT OUR DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE.
BE MINDFUL AND THOUGHTFUL WITH WORDS PEG.
NEEDLING OF THE RICHTER SCALE, BALANCING THE THREAD.
EQUILIBRIUMS ADJUSTED INTO FALLEN TEETH.
PEG MISS PEARLIE CROWNED WITH GOLD.  

ENTANGLING THE WAY THE ROOT GROWS.

Persnickety Peg

Persnickety Peg invited me to the spa
We were going to be Zen, with a relaxing ha ha
We sat in the sun, soaking up rays off the snow
She wore her sunglasses, and her face was aglow.

She barely remembered I was there with her at all.
Our masseuse was a tom who was at least half a foot tall.
She giggled and purred and stretched under his paws.
I was getting no attention, so got out my mean claws.

Persnickety Peg was all about herself, boastful of course.
I was irritated that she was her usual arrogant self in full force.
She was boastful and proud, lollygagging there in the sun.
I suddenly remembered she has never been fun.

My Cousin Peg

My cousin Peg is
My cousin Peg does
My cousin Peg does not
My cousin Peg will
My cousin Peg says
My cousin Peg….
I am tired of my cousin’s other cousin, Peg.
I am glad she is on the other side of his family.
I resolve to never like her in any way no matter what.
Then I meet her.
And she is impossible to dislike.
She is pretty much perfect in every single way.
Now I am saying “My cousin’s cousin Peg…”

Mumbo Jumbo Mumblety Peg

Come play mumbo jumbo mumblety peg,
To see who goes first, we spin a raw egg.
Come be a sport.
Free beer by the quart.
We’ll let you keep a finger and maybe a leg.

What To Teach Your Children

WHAT TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN

Do not lament to your ward about
The dark cloud that blocks your sky,
Let them see it as a peg that draws you
Closer to the topmost of your victory. Never

Should you tell the tales of your tears
and angush to your child, for he is going
To see every shadows as an escape to death.

Do not show the scar of joy behind your hand
To your kid. He is going to build a wrong
Sense of every barking black dogs. Shall
He take them for monsters from the hell.

Sing your children the songs of humanity
Not the dirges of hatred that
erupt every single screeching of
the moon from mind.

Read the story of beautiful life to their ears
Let them feel the reliance breezes of the Eden
While they are alive.

Preach affection manuscript to their hearts,
and with wits of it, their hearts become more tender.

Show them the world where a sun
Radiate the lands than the one that
Burns your scalps and shrink you for sweats.

Teach them love and smile. 
Teach them to have both in their lives.

Al and Peg Bundy

Why don’t you get in the kitchen Peg and stick your head in the oven?
Peg rolls her eyes, wishing she had stayed in safety of her witch’s coven.  

Al, if I put anything in the oven, it will be your head, not mine.
She said, with a sweetness that made her Chicago accent sublime.

Yes, the sparring has begun because these two are married and awake. 
Kelly and Bud are not downstairs yet, couple’s snide remarks no mistake.

There is nothing healthy to eat in the kitchen maybe a bit of lemon or lime.
For to shop for groceries would take Peg away from clothes shopping time.

Al is sitting in front of the TV, his stomach growling for some kind of food.
He is thinking things about Peg, his wife, and most of these things are rude.

Their banter is hilarious to watch on TV, fun to watch, gives us a laugh.
The eighties was when rudeness on the screen was a sought after giraffe.

Here come Kelly and Bud to add more sarcastic comments to the screen.
For some reason or another, this is when mean became a lot less obscene.

Peg

I love it
When you touch me
And squeeze me really tight

You make me
Feel important
With all the warmth and light

I value 
Every moment
Even if they’re brief 

Getting noticed
And being chosen
Is such a huge relief

Don’t let
The skies rule you
And tell you what to do

Sitting idle 
In a heap
Can be really bad for you

Don’t keep
Me in the dark
I prefer not to take a break

I’m happiest 
Being out there
When integrity’s at stake

Even though 
I’m weathered 
Strength is my best feature 

I’ve endured 
Hard times before
And survived a vicious creature

But still 
I’m always faithful 
When I know that you are mine

I hold on tight
With all my might
To your best clothes on the line

Peg the Pirate

I once knew a pirate named Meg
The poor girl had only one leg
So I carved a prosthetic  
But it looked so pathetic
That everyone now calls her Peg

Peg and Gimpy

When Reggie was in the army
He lost a leg
His fellow soldiers
Renamed him Peg
He was extremely brave
Soon forgot the pain
Although without this limb
He would never be the same again
Jake was a friend
Peg met in the local pub
To have a game of billiards
And a bite of grub
One day when they were talking
Jake mentioned Reggies leg
He asked if Peg could kick a ball
So that they could visit the park instead
Peg agreed so off they went
To play out in the sun
Jake had an advantage over Peg
He had two strong legs
Peg only one
They started to kick the ball
Boy this was fun
Reggie's wooden leg was heavy
It made it difficult to run
But run he did and kicked the ball
It flew up in the air
Jake ran to kick it back
That's when the pair
Collided and fell
Peg landed on top of Jake
What a sight to see
Reggie's peg pierced Jake's ankle
Also twisted his knee
The two men lay on the ground
Suffering great pain
Silently both thinking
We won't play that again
Shakily they got up
Jake feeling a little wimpy
Reggie smiled ruefully
And changed Jake's name to Gimpy

Miss Peg

i have a proud hen called miss peg
who hasn't given me one egg
she is failing to produce
i am starting to deduce
the best part of her is the leg

A peg of wine at night 
By nine lessens my

Bring To Life- the Clothes Peg

It lies with it's kin in the bag they live in, collectively known as a 'float',
not quite sure why that's so but there's one thing I know
and that's they've never been near a boat.
They hustle and clatter , skins not coated in batter, in different hues, green, yellow, red,
there's a blue one, poor thing with a twisted wire spring
that's unused, I assume that he's dead.
From a hook under the stairs they will come out in pairs
although sometimes they will hunt in threes
when bedsheets they attack, or their jaws may just crack
as it fights them all off in the breeze.
If encountering a red one, for sure, you're a dead one,
it nips at your fingers and toes,
and when the timing is right it's a horrible sight on the tip of a young child's nose.
I can honestly state that they sometimes migrate
not a lot, since they always get caught,
but please take it from me, that I can guarantee on washdays you are always one short.

Round Peg In Square Hole

i always felt 
like a round 
peg in a square 
hole within 
society 
i never felt 
as if i fit 
into this 
world's 
social
norms
