Handle my heart with care.
Be gentle in the way you speak.
I'm hurting and miss you.

Percival pig was a bit of a swine
He told Hetty hog, “You’re gonna be mine.”
And she said, “Way Hay,
You’ve just made my day.
It seems you’re the man… to uncork the wine.”
I want you to come to me
With all the reasons good.
With nothing much to worry about,
Less to be misunderstood.
I want you to look at me
With love and care and hope.
I want you to read my eyes,
Where words find little scope.
I want you to be heard 'midst all
And spread the dew of love.
I want you to be happy with me,
Though much is thrust from 'bove.
I guess am not wrong after all,
In chasing my dreams long born.
I want you to be a part of this,
My heart's no room for scorn.
Give me a break for a while,
I want to be alive with you.
In laughter, party, participate,
At times am a lot bit screwed.
I love to see you tenderly work,
With passion etched on your frown.
I want to hear your breath release,
Satisfaction and music around.
I give no word of mine I know,
You held a better score.
I want you to touch my life--
Leaving me to wait for more.
It is so much easier
to screw
something up
than it is to unscrew it
Either way
your screwed.....
What's there to say,
About you and me.
We are two peas in a pod,
Like water and oil.
We don't mix well.
I have sensitivity,
with lots of love from the heart.
Your just a lump of coal left to a child on a Christmas eve night.
You don't love,
You don't know how to.
Your interpretation of love is way off.
Like a washing machine with an unbalanced load,
Your brain runs 360 miles per min,
With me by your side trying to stay caught up.
Just when I think I may have stopped this roller coaster,
You crash and burn.
You start all over again.
This torn into is not for the faint at heart,
Just another burial of fait I use to have.
when trump we had viewed
realize we had been screwed
found him in a feud

No way,
yes way,
on guard,
no guard,
today,
yesterday,
it's cool,
it's noon,
it's due dude
let's get screwed.

The court Judge is at my house
I cannot tell anyone, not even my spouse
He's come to inspect my claim
And I've only myself to blame
It never occurred to me when I sued
When I was in the foulest mood
I saw the damage in my new property on the wall
To my lawyer, I made a long call
I would easily win this case
And I realized my mistake when the Judge and I came face to face
In my home
The judge wanted to see what I was making a big fuss about
Me and my big mouth!
I had the ruined wall rebuilt
Should I wither or should I wilt?
Without a receipt I'm screwed
Now I'm in a real bad mood!

You had it all
And screwed up bad
Your life took you
On a downward spiral
Out of control
Where no one could relate
Your demons are your own
Who could ever imagine
You had a chance at love
And screwed up bad
You sabotaged it
Never believing you’re deserving
One staggering victim left behind
Broken down on one knee
You screwed up bad

Trump Badly Screwed Over
Deep in debt we must have to be,
Before Trump ever does start to see,
Has cut us short.
With no support,
And badly screwed over you and me.
Jim Horn
With Great Priest Will Get By
Of meeting many goals are slightly shy,
But with new priest who is quite a guy,
Is now here;
Have no fear;
We will be sure and certain to get by.

New Team Wanted To Start
Fans entire game they had withstood,
Knowing their team was not any good;
In every way,
Blew each play;
New team wanted to start if they could.
Jim Horn
Trump seems to think he has many talents;
Perform miracles and then budget balance;
Saw skirt;
Will flirt;
We do know that he does much dalliance.
Jim Horn
Were Really Had To Be Punt
We really had to be rather blunt;
You did pull another crazy stunt;
Should have thrown,
But each play blown;
Had to call it quits prior to punt.
Jim Horn
Screwed
into screwy.
Are you asking.....
Who?
Screwed
into screwy
Is it asking.....
You?
Are you
screwed
into screwy....
or is.......
screwy....
screwing you?
Horn Screwed Up Haiku
So when you screwed up;
Cannot think of what to do;
Blame it on system.
This is what I am starting to believe.
That is what Trump, Bernie and
European Common Market (ECM)
are doing.
Jim Horn
PS. Category is farewell to ECM.
And I thought ECM was supposed
to be Electronic Counter Measures.
Wreckage-Screwed X Contest
Believing in you caused wreckage in me
You thought taking your own life would fix you
Now alone, stuck in hell on bended knee
Cleaning up your awful mess, residue
Didn't you see your beautiful value?
Complicated loss, confusion, grief, fire
What was your reasoning, depth or desire?
Self-destructive and annihilation
Wounded, suffering, physical satire
Articulation, manipulation
