APROPOS OF DING DONG DITCH AND PALS
APROPOS OF DING DONG DITCH AND PALS
Literally, AI pranks
Have caused suicides:-
One while on the computer;
The other by a back shot:-
This may sound funny,
But death is no silly joke;
Neither should pranks be:-
Putting all in perspective,
In half of a month,
Check out “AI Psychosis”
And its friend, “Sycophancy”!?!
As must be with war,
Let us crack down on greed and
Its collateral

Traitorous Eye
by Charles d’Orleans
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Traitorous eye, what’s new?
What lewd pranks do you have in view?
Without civil warning, you spy,
And no one ever knows why!
Who understands anything you do?
You’re rash and crass in your boldness too,
And your lewdness is hard

I Miss You Big Brother Potd
Remember when we were young, you and I
Bit of boyish mischief we used to cause
The swearing, pushing, shoving, and punches
We'd put on the charm when it came to mom
Bit of boyish mischief we used to cause
You, big brother, I followed and looked up to
We'd put on the charm when

Annihilate Defeat's Pranks and Tanks
Gaze into eyes of defeat and daze him
Knocking out the swagger he flaunts
Ensuring no longer can he trim
To size your awesome arsenal as he taunts
Midgets and Gullivers alike
Trampling their toes, crumpling their pride
Crushing their every effort to manifest his dislike
For the courage and temerity they dare not hide
When defeat springs forth like a gladiator
Eager to

Pranks
AGE, likes to play pranks
And tamper with my eyes
When I look in a mirror
It reflects awful lies.
My hair medium brown
Long ago turned grey.
Mustache on my lip,
No, no , no how, no way!
My figures an hourglass
Sad my sands shifted
My minds creative
It memories drifted.
What about those jowls
Hanging down so low
My full luscious lips
Now, where did they

Birth Pranks
Birth Pranks!
labour....a baby cries
then popcorn of exploding smiles
yet, he's wary of lies
will he quickly talk
before he can do anything or walk
to tell if he is his folk?
"why not like his brother
nor at least the face of his mother
or me his ugly father!?"
common labour pranks,
aftermath of protracted labour pangs
is wagging of tongues!

Pranks
not just any jokes;
but a humorous prank,
in dirty deeds and actions.
a banana peel for slipping,
a whoopie cushion for surprising.
series of sarcasms for icebreakers,
at last, untold execution of tickling for random giggles.
and maybe a secret diss in your wish list.
