Premium Member Rubber Tire Prayer
On the way to brother's funeral I prayed not for the seeds of his soul to root in the merciful soil of heaven Mostly I prayed not to get a flat tire it would have killed me to not arrive on time. A five-mile drive from a yellowing motel to the foot of a flat stone, An angel swept both nail and...

Glass and Rubber
I know I have a big heart Because I can feel how often it cracks. It's fragile like glass, But bounces back, Broken, then fixed, Then broken, then fixed, Recoiling like elastic And snapping back into place. But elastic gets weak, And eventually, wears out. Glass, though constantly breaking, Can be sealed back together. I hope I am like glass And not like elastic....

Premium Member The Siren of Tennessee
On my farm, my daughter Zoe grew strong She became a beauty, like a happy country song. She didn't smoke or drink, had lots of fresh air But an exorcist once took a look, told me to beware Down a dusty road in the evening glow, She'd walk in her gown where the wildflowers grow. Deceptive beauty...

Premium Member No Rubber Ducks Today
Today there are no rubber ducks, no flawless hues, To hide behind, as we once did. This day is dark, and gray and dreary, Air thick with the scent of decay and mold, Dull light filters in through the window, Casting a somber tone across everything. Even the freesia suds have gone bad, The water in the tub is murky, opaque...

Not Rubber Bullets
The so-called Rubber Bullets are live And are not to leave hit victims alive… So, Shooting Time, do not ever drive And ‘Spraying Hour’ you try to dive, If really you wish to survive. Better so than their penetration Followed by a battle to self revive Or on surgeries a concentration To not your family a life deprive... You go ahead to...

Premium Member Rubber Duck - Bawdy
A duck got himself a young lady They went to a cheap hotel He booked a room - a little shady Where he’d get to know her well She was hot but on reflection He thought that he should use protection Rang room service, (that was drastic) Ordered up a prophylactic A voice said we’re here to be serving I’ll send a condom...

Premium Member The Alarm Clock
We need an alarm clock for daybreaks For morning calls For embarking on special expeditions But down in a poor village The cock crows The cold wind blows The night fades The mountains covered with mist The grass wetted The birds sing But there is neither bustle of life Nor ringing of an alarm clock Inside the cottage Oh, the parents have long awakened Before dawn Their morning begins...
