SpellCeckers, Down!
——————————————————————-
I’m Spellcheckers. I’ll read your mind,
Starting always from two lines behind.
So, you’ll use up all your time
Going back to proofread every line,
Not for your errors, but for mine.
I’m a pure-bred SpellCheckers. Even
Presidents, those haughty men,
Don’t like me, like when
I turn “fiend” from “friend,” or, then
When writing the nation’s budgets,
I’ll change their “land”
to “lend.” Hear Ye! I’m more than
A pouf-wearing proofer, I’m Mother!
“I know you better than you do.”
Gimme a second, I’ll proof it to youse
Look, in the necks Poem, I’ll let loose!

It’s a weed in name only
Spikey green leaves, a yellow face
Hearty with a no-nonsense enthusiasm
Growing with total abandon
With no regard for rules
In gardens, lawns, in tiny cracks
At last forming a perfect ball of silver threads
Pouf! The seeds blown by the wind
Or by little ones with childish delight
The dandelion….

We instantly clicked so sure I’d found my twin flame
A friend who understood the quirky parts of me
A companion to explore peculiar things we had in common
Those many interests all others seem to find a bore
A friend who understood the quirky parts of me
A mate to inspire me up that ladder of dreams and ambitions
Those many interests all others seem to find a bore
But gone like the wind you disappeared without a word pouf!
A mate to inspire me up that ladder of dreams and ambitions
A companion to explore peculiar things we had in common
But gone like the wind you disappeared without a word pouf!
We instantly clicked so sure I’d found my twin flame

A glass, a sip
A chardonnay
Winding down after the long day
Leave it behind
All forgotten
Retiring soon
One day coming
Passing the baton, the madness
Years of abuse
About to end
Put up with it
For years and years
Now’s my time to heal and recoup
Let others deal
As best they can
Turn a blind eye
And a deaf ear
Someone else’s turn to perform
Feats of magic
Miracles, pouf!
A smile with that
Cherry on top
My tour of duty is over
Thanks for the laughs
It’s been a blast

my blood is clean never on an aisle
to donate as you put a label on it
frou frou I wear laces and no bra
I buried many front of the judge
with panty to tell you the menu
top top I circle the noise of a tennis ball
but the golf my dog likes and will not stop
harassing the liberty front of my eyes
pouf pouf play your dick
my pantry down and a syringe never
to silence the birds in need of seeds

Male macho am I
With bulging biceps and the rest
Stern indeed is my mien.
I take control
My every move I plan
Hate sissies, I do!
Yet give me a tear-jerker
And I'll jerk them out
In copious streams!
But Macho am I
None can dare see me cry,
Reduced to Maudlin mush!
Give me a sob story
Chocolate melt is my heart
Macho is mucho gone!
Body sports, guts and grit
Is all very fine
But anyone game for a bit of bitching?
Metro, Hetro, Alpha and the rest
All words erased
With the pouf of purfume/scent!
ARDHANARISHWAR!

Progressive has Flo; Toyota has Jan.
I really don’t get their appeal.
At first, Flo was cool, with her retro pouf hair
But with Jan – tell me, what is the deal?
By now I can say, well, they’re both on my nerves
And I’m sure many others agree;
So a word of advice to their ad people – please
Make commercials both Flo- and Jan-free.
Recognition’s important – I get that, I do,
But a negative sticks in the craw;
If these ads were like diamonds, I’d have to admit
Jan and Flo feel like finding a flaw.
