Premium Member The Illegal Alien Exchange Program

Just how many babies 
Are swapped at birth 
With a look alike other 
That other being 
Some demon or some 
Illegal Alien exchange program 
Being covertly done 
Right under our very noses 
In broad daylight 
In maternity wards worldwide 

I should know 
Being born with bi-fid thumbs 
And six toes on each foot 
Yet, it has to be my sister
She's wicked smart 
Perhaps, too smart for her own good 
And she has a big head
She’s got to be one 

Of course, what’s a little culture shock too 
Beings' stranger in a Strangeland 
After walking the long long walk 
Can’t even talk the strange talk 
Seeking asylum from oppression 
Seeking the land of Liberty 
Feel free to wear their worn-out sandals 
They’ll gladly trade for your Michael Jorden Nikes 

Then again, maybe the exchange comes later 
Some babysitter’s smuggling ring 
Except she promises to turn your little rascal 
Into an angel, for real 
Still criminal but God ordained

With radionic and psionic technology/
The voice to skull is torture/
But, they can't break me/
They tell me to confess/
I refuse, I never done that/
They body possess me/
I will not give in/
They squeeze my liver/
They squeeze my organs/
Telling me to confess/
To things I never done/
I refuse to let them/
Silence and suppress me/
They lower my heart beat/
They lower my blood pressure/
They bring me to the brink of death/
I still refuse to give in/
They resort to voice to mouth/
I still refuse to admit/
To things I never done/
They body possess me/
So? I can do the same thing/
The feeling and emotions possession/
Are easy to fight/
The thought to skull/
Is easy to fight/
I thought we were the/

Premium Member Guaranteed Weight-Loss Program

   Vast sums of money
     enormous chunks of time
   All spent on losing weight ~
     usually ruined by dinnertime

   It's really quite easy
     now I know that sounds cheezy
   But here's the one thing that works, brother
     Sell your car today, and don't buy another

   You'll walk everywhere
     have little time to spare
   for banquets and luncheons
     or to lie around potato chip munchin'

   And even if this radical step doesn't work
     you have my personal guarantee
   I'll sell your car back to you for what you took from me
     ~ sure enjoyed driving it for free

In a Program, After Gaining Training

We all have gathered here together
And we have to leave together
Let us promise to each other
To shape our future better

A small act of remembrance,
Will bring an iota of fragrance,
Let us prove our excellence,
By utilizing our brilliance

Let us always have zeal and zest
To do things to our level best
To say everything in a gist
Le us have good plans in our list!

Premium Member Are We a Space Program Or Energy Waves

I'm utterly a hermetic swarm of chemicals.
Our atoms are uniquely spotted over medicals.
Inside every iota arise unique waves of strenuosity.
It is stunning since we're concerned not to see.

The intensity waves in the query are identical.
In each one of us?In the enduring genetical?
Hence, it is the idea of genuine humanity. 
My inner being is made up mainly of vitality.

Our planet is a satellite girding a stellar body.
On a heroic endeavor as you rest adequately.
There's a compelling goal needs to echo left or right.
All is cautiously stowed to a programmed flight.

While lying in bed wheezing and having a dream
You'd be flabbergasted at the spots will redeem.
You'd have beheld the divine cores in their glory.
What might have ensued will stall you ever-lively?

The eternal truth, however, is a lot as well peculiar.
If you didn't foresee Earth is, in eternal fact, flatter.
There's a compelling reason that needs to unfold more.
It's superb that we didn't all fall on a live shore.

My Government Program

A country is made with
         men and books!
         In the government of poetry,
         less brute force and
         more poetic production...
         Here is my platform of
         policy, government program:
         Poetry as daily entertainment,
         poetry as daily bread!
         Everything else is solved...!

Summer Pre Kindergarten Program

W-indy Thursday night
H-as turned into warm Friday; 
E-vening shadows disappear, 
N-ew dawn leaves the
G-ray.

C-oal clouds twentieth January
H-ave changed into white; 
A-nother day has broken, 
V-iew has set things aright.
E-arly childhood needs education, the youth learn to take exam; 
Z-ealously bring your kid to the summer pre kindergarten program.

Old As a Tv Program

Old as in a TV program 

I watched a TV program set in an older people home
there was a murder with a pillow done by a nurse who stole
valuable items from the week and feeble patience.
Well, our detective solved the case and the owner of the home
was in this foul deed he sold the stolen items.
So far, so good, what I disliked was the patient killed was
eighty years old as was the other at this home.
For the first time in my life, I realized I was one of them 
and I got suspicious are people at supermarket patronizing 
I, when I make my feeble jokes, does the waiter at the cafe
serves me first in case I get elderly grumpy.
Can I trust that people speak to me as an equal and no someone
they have agreed within a concern of my age.
Are my opinions dismissed as an older man´s prattle?
I can´t bear the thought of being patronized by anyone except 
my wife, she has always thought I´m mad.
I have no friends. All I can do is talking to myself.

Premium Member Face Time Glitches

Face time
There you are.
Um…
Gone now.

It is either text or nothing at all.
Some of my friends never hear from their children
Because they do not have I-phones.

I do because I had to learn to text, 
Because my children's generation does not call.
I do not even know what their voices sound like.
I doubt I would recognize them any more on a phone.

What about Face time?
Until they perfect it, no thank you.
It’s a video of a child or grandchild waving
and then
Blip.
They are gone
So annoying!

Premium Member My Own Personal Christmas Lights

I had a red jeep once,
my husband rigged it up with
Christmas lights on the running board.
I was puffed up about it.

My grandparents had the best
Christmas lights; they were jewel-toned,
and bubbled up and down, like a lava lamp,
before lava lamps were a thing, back in
the 50's.

my parents had the same boring, drab,
fat-bulbed  red, blue, green, and orangish-yellow
Christmas lights. We wanted something better, but
these were already paid for.

The best Christmas light was the time I put on a Sunday
School play with 85 children. My vision was to rig up a giant
white star in the back of someone's pick up truck, and the children and their parents would all follow the lit up star from the church to
the sale barn, which was our stable.  

I had to call all of the people in the church directory, because no one could figure out how to do it until I reached a man whose last name began with a Z.  I think I can do that he said, and he did!
I will never forget the awesomeness of this Christmas light though; it was my all-time favorite Christmas light. The procurement of it was awful at the time, but is so sweet in the memory now.  So worth the trouble!

Premium Member Program Murder

confounded, confused
cliffhanger, like a hangnail
unpleasant when there’s no icing

a program diet
stamping my feet
“it had a cult following”

who can resist the pie man
a charming, untouchable chap
quirky characters included

the one minute tell all
from the living dead
murder like a pie in the face

and the same is true
of American Dreams
made it to the chopping block

7/7/2018

Television shows: Pushing Daisies and American Dreams left me wanting more

Quirky things that confound and confuse me contest

Program With Great Plan

Program With Great Plan

We want a program with a great plan,
And reach a goal that  we hope it can;
Wonder why;
Try  and Try;
Even if we did have to lift another ban.

Jim Horn

5,901 heading toward 6,000. It has been 
so hot and our air conditioning is not working.
Will try to write more early in the morning.
