I asked Euston, my new son-in-law,
"Was it a car or a cat I saw?"
Euston saw I was not Sue.
He finds me (Sue's mom) a shrew,
so he scoffed, "Does a car have a claw?"
Flamboyant words harshly spoken from little blonde with hot temper
Imagine there's no heaven
so easily i didn't need to try
hell around us
Outwith us, only sky-water isn't blue its clear
Imagine all the people
Dying for today
Ahhh bisto
Imagine there's no s try
It is so hard to do
Something to kill or die for
And religion,
gone too
Imagine all the people
Dead in pieces
Even You
You may say I'm a dreamer
Wish i was the only one
I hope your all gone
And the world gets a chance to live on
Imagine no possessions-all those dead billionaires
I wonder if you can
be all agreed hunger now can not stand
A brotherhood of man-what a sexist saying
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world-i mean seriously we cant share space
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
Wish i was the only one
I hope someday you'll die in a puff of light
And hope the world will live humanity gone
We laugh to be pleased.
It may be harsh and haughty.
It may seem quite rough.
Haters use satire to taunt.
It's a criminal's platform.

Closing down sale
A big thank you to all our customers
Ok, you humans down there, making wishes on us stars
with “Wish I may, wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight.”
Who the heck do you people think you are?
Why are you writing poems all the time like “Star Light, Star Bright”?
Of COURSE, we’re bright and a heck of a lot brighter than YOU.
Is sitting around making wishes all you can do?
Even waiting around to see which one of us will fall? The gall!
Good grief, you’d think to see a shooting star is the greatest thing of all!
Where did you come up with “count your lucky stars,” you dimwits?
You would die a billion deaths before you finished counting my friends and me.
I get laughs hearing your gaffes, but other than that, MY life is the pits!
I wish for YOU to make ME into a MOVIE star. I’d be a diva for an eternity!
Then I could really live it up in style, like you glitzy dolts down below.
Yeah, and keep “reaching for the stars.” Let’s see how THAT goes.

This brain´s on fire.

it's good for the health

Being Sarcastic
By: Miracle Man
12-16-2019
Winters breath is upon us
Today a freezing mist encompasses the area.
Traffic will snarl, body shops will be busy,
and insurance companies will raise their rates.
City police are on “operation slick streets”
which means they won’t come and investigate accidents.
You are required by law to do it yourself, download a form and mail it in.
And Oh yes, Krispy Kreme
is making a killing.
All adding to the economy’s GNP.
Life is good!
Sarcastic sunrise
An ode to summer's demise
Over burnt tea leaves
Fists raised in anger.
Protest against inequality,
inequity, all biases,
poverty and hunger.
Wet and cold forecast.
March cancelled.
Pumpkin spice latte please.
Kids don’t play anymore.
kids don't need understanding now
we make them into men.
Young men for the everlasting old war.
Ripe harvests of the current generation.
So vast the mind of men...
So vast the universe...
So vast both.
Merely a vast cynical joke
Arrogance, sarcasm and suggestive wit,
Some people in this world I admit,
Think is so cool and fun,
But actually in the long run,
One day they go too far, and have to quit.
At an old forgotten Oriental cemetery,
half buried in the soil emerges a decomposed skull.
-nothing unpleasant, by the by-
It looks like glass when the sun whitens it.
No nose, eyes, ears or mouth;
therefore no face, no mask.
It has nothing of its own except it's veil of mourn and dust
and its eternal smile.
Its grimace might seem both tragic or blissful.
Leaving my reason apart
I said:
"There is no feature that distinguishes you especially,
you could be anyone.
Are you not the precious image
of each and all of us ?"
And the answer seemed to me
both silent but eloquent
-it couldn´t be otherwise-
Just the eternal half veiled smile
when again the skull contemplates
the worries and doubts of their living fellows.
