Pesky Phil

Groundhog Day 
What is it they say?
If he sees his shadow, six more weeks of winter 
Should we let something like this become a hinder
After all, this started as a Pennsylvania Dutch superstition 
Who thought of this proposition 
Was this used for farmers to seed their fields and grow crops 
If it was I have

I Posit Picayune Propensities Prevail Among Pesky Management

I posit picayune propensities prevail among pesky management

Most favored renter status imposed on us
i.e. meaning myself;
(one tarnished prince of Highland Manor)
and the missus, his princess consort
who must abide by rigorous writ
of tidiness, whereby
every flat surface cleaned
(with our) elbow grease and spit
which weekly inspections
includes a triumvirate,
and when they enter unit b44,
yours truly feigns being a nitwit

Premium MemberBat Tries To Help Me Get Rid of a Pesky Toad

A bumpy toad jumped on my nose and refused to get off.
I tried to gross him out, much phlegm I garnered in a cough.
He was determined and held on tightly with his webbed toes.
I was irritated because after all, it is my own private nose.

Come help me! I yelled to a bat in the belfry

Mercy Shown

When you kill
An ant
do you stop and think

Does it come under
Extension
Of mercy. Am I placing myself on the brink

As the mercy we are given
Is the mercy
We have shown


I go through this
every year
When they try to invade my home

The ones I
Destroy with my own
Cruel hands

Behaving as an
Ogre
May God understand

I  take
None of His works lightly
As I

Premium MemberPesky Pet - Humour Warning

My pet wasp is called Sunny Jim
I captured this pet on a whim
He got out his stinger
And stung my friend’s finger
Pal Susie just cannot stand him!


Poor Susie lets out a loud howl
As Sunny Jim’s still on the prowl
I cannot deny
My 'pet' needs to die …
I smothered wasp Jim with a towel

Inspired by a crazy challenge

Premium MemberDie Die Pesky Fly - Lipogram

Sweltering summer temperatures
and warm sultry summer nights
left me scratching my legs red raw
I hate receiving nasty insect bites
 
I’d slather bare limbs with cream
that the chemist had given me
Bites are an issue that I live with
itchy red legs are quite unsightly
 
Every beach dress skims the earth
and I ensure I spray all my skin
But these

Dang Pesky Pigeons

Pigeons



There’s a pigeon on the rooftop
And he’s driving me insane
For his constant pigeon noises
Seem to permeate my brain

From his perch upon the chimney
He’s coo cooing to his mate
It just thunders through the building
And it comes out in the grate

The noise is quite incessant
And no matter where I sit
I still hear this damned bird calling
It annoys

Premium MemberPesky Lion

The lion thinks he is the king but he is not
I am the true ruler of this rocky gray spot
The lion does not even belong here if you ask me
I am angry the men brought him across the sea

I am the mightiest one, the biggest, and the brave.
To think anything else makes you a non-thinking

Pesky Candle

Poems to read and many to write
All to be done under this flickering light
Of an ageless candle’s burning flame
Silent words begin to have claim.

A stream of wax drips down the side
My eyes close while trying to decide,
Either ruffle it with joy or let it be sad
A touch of humor gets on my pad.

Trifle as it

Pesky Loose Ends

If everything were simple it would shape just like a brain,
And I’d take it out and look at it and never feel a pain,
And I’d pity poorer mortals who didn’t care if it were true,
For the clear and simple reasons that explained their shallow view,
And my life would be a pleasure with no pondering to

Premium MemberPesky Yellow Jackets Can Sting You

They hover around parked vehicles
Looking just like an evil wasp
Make sure you’re back in time
Or you’ll find out to your cost

A black and yellow summons
will be stuck to your windscreen
And when you see the parking fine
No doubt you’ll want to scream

So when you’re busy shopping
Don’t be tempted to browse or linger
And if you've obtained parking

Premium MemberPesky Patriarchal Polynomials

Today we want to give a shout out,
and maybe within yin,
to both Group Mathematic Eco-TheoLogians
concerned with sacred ecology

capable of ecologically distinguishing
while predicting secular health

which are deductively/inductively equivalent

(Or at least not unequal)

Pesky Poppycock Payback Please Prepare

Prevarication permits pretend perception, presenting
piquantly piqued, pimply pimping playboy, plucky
pulchritudinous previously pusillanimous, prevalently
puckish, psychic packman, pokemon playing proletarian

puppeteer pygmy, peevishly punky, plummy, plumy,
pompously pushy, pampered, prefabricated pinchbeck,
pokily plying plowshear, plodding peregrination, pied
piper pitifully peppy pornographic potato pealing,

parsimonious paradoxical protagonist, proposing
preposterous panicky pacification plots, prioritization
pertinent penultimate peroration, perhaps perceiving
perjuring, perplexing, perverting puzzling pronouncements

Pesky Soprano

Female skeeter singing for a favor
wanting my blood for her next caper
she's playing with fire
her future looks dire
joining others on my wallpaper.
