Polish Poems

No man ever

No man can ever understand,
There's Spring Cleaning across this land,
Miss Mop and Clean waves her hand,
Snoring is his male band,
Not to worry, no time to sup,
Gals want to sparkle up,
One shelf at a time,
Spray and Wipe sublime,
Fresh is the cupboard smell,
Charity bags cast their spell,
All tidy now, so it seems,
Polished the dog, he gleams,
Must detox

Polish Your Pearl

Written By:  D. Collins 3/27/25



Find what comes easy and keep doing it.
Move it to the top of your to-do list.
Nourish it along with some passion and zest.
Before long, you might rate as one of the best.


Inject some soul into it and really cut loose.
Let your talent bling like some spit-shined boots.
Constantly polish that gift

POLISH YOUR DIAMOND

Be there for yourself
Shape your rough edges.
Your known worth is not enough
But your effort as you progress is priceless.

Polish your diamond
Reveal your sparkling beauty.
Use the fire within you to illuminate
Your incredible light and color.

Polish your diamond to enhance your sparkle
So that your value increases
And your bumps become a thing of the past.
You glow when you

Polish the Beacon

Polish the beacon of your face
and give the weary world a smile;
despairing people need some grace.
Polish the beacon of your face;
make optimism commonplace
and luminous joy your lifestyle.
Polish the beacon of your face
and give the weary world a smile.

Premium MemberNazis, the Polish,Hitler and Us

Tortured, beyond torture.
Considered , non Aryan, too.
Thousands shot daily
Piles of their bones, so dogs 
could chew!

Hitler figured a better way!
Camps would be of no dismay.
Using slave labor,  no shame!
Matthausen, being of most fame.

Carrying heavy bricks, 
Up 186 steps thick
300,00 perished there! 
Moustached, Hitler, just stared

Oh, a famous maniac plus ..was he!
Crystal meth, in his

Premium MemberThings We Could Do With Out

Make up, it clogs the pores and makes skin flake. 
Why not go natural for goodness sake?
deodorant, soap and water serves you fine, and a little body odor most people won't mind.
razors, they nic and cut and cause a bleed, if hair grows there just let it be.
hairspray, it's bad for the lungs, best do

Premium MemberPolish Limerick-And Then Some

There once was a dumb blonde from Warsaw
'twas the dumbest blonde I ever saw.
She was bound for Krakow
but wound up in Moscow
holding a kielbasa in each paw.

This dumb blonde headed back to Warsaw
without kielbasa in either paw.
Under a chair beneath
she had lost her false teeth
and had to eat sausage through a straw.

Premium MemberThe Titmouse Symphony the Name Sikorski Means Titmouse In Polish

Captivated and compelled to find my little friend,
who has broken out in song again.
Sitting on the window ledge,
he stretches his neck as he tilts his head.
Releasing a group of compact and purposeful notes,
I gaze blissfully upon his silken, iridescent cloak.
Feathers...
Fashioned and fitted
and plucked to perfection, 
he begins to sing this mornings delightful rendition.
I am wondering

The Man In the Moon - a Polish Fable

I think it's always been there
 just in the back of my mind where 
a moral spin 
 of subtle children's interpretations
 recalled a story told in  Babcis and Dziedzic explanations;

Some men and women find themselves in

Polish my shoe, polish my shoe today!
Polish shoe, polish shoe, reflect Sun’s ray, 
Hide my head to look at you,
So he will not have a clue,
Polish my shoe till my boss goes away!

Premium MemberPolish Those Shoes and Tuck In That Shirt

Up every day well before five
  if you plan to do more than survive
Polish those boots and tuck in that shirt
  Don't let your C.O. see any dirt

Stand in the line-up ramrod straight
  Don't move a muscle while you wait --
for the signal to take off at a trot
  whether your

Polish Your Bomb

Polish Your Bomb
Oh how mighty and special they are!
Hail thee to our lovely bombs!
Hark to the power of the bomb
Our own bombs that we love and desire

Situated in our homes to keep us safe
Located in our factories to give security
We love our bombs like nothing else
More important than a parent, cousin,

Sibling, wife, friend or pet
We
