Short All Told Poems

On a wall in the House of Censorship they display the tongues of those silenced.
The plaque beneath reads “THEY ALL TOLD THE TRUTH”

I’m sitting here still and aloof
Held up in traffic of a morning
We are all told to stay in lane
And who are we to complain
But cutting in without warning
The blue light goes on the roof

You’re Laughing Alone
By
Tom Wright

My friends all told me that I was witty,
So from Haskell I headed for the city.
First, a comedy club floor,
Then out the back door,
For my monologue I received only pity.

Cool, groovy, hip 
No bummers here 
Just a psychedelic love explosion 
A total gas 
We had a blast
The chicks were far out 
So many foxes
The babes were alright 
The whole scene was out of sight!
A good trip all told

This poem is circa the 1960's...

Listen to poem:

Death is a Lonely Demon 
David J Walker

All told
The cold may come and go
Hold a fire in your heart
Winter is only a season

Be bold 
The silent breath will never part
The fire held within your heart
Inspired love and reason 

Death a lonely demon...

We were all told that this day was coming,
when we'd no longer hear the bees a-humming,
when we could no longer trust that the fields
would ever again produce their requisite yields.
But who had expected it to be this soon
before the promised second coming?...

Limerick : Once a Toro in a Madrid prairie

Once a Toro in a Madrid prairie
Wondered why it had two horns, not three
Spaniards signal cuckold
With two fingers all told
So three for Spanish husbands in Paris ?*

*Paris : pronounced in French as : Parie/Paree

Limerick: Once a born blind man was promised full sight

Once a born blind man was promised full sight
By an ophthalmologist fully tight
     Two slits and dabs all told
     Saw in wonderful world –
Beauty Contest: gouged his own eyes outright.

There once was a cold lady, quite old

Who would hold to be rolled in the cold

She was sold on the cold

And no cold was too bold

So all told, her old cold was cold gold!

Please be advised, my Seconds are weighed in gold,
Therefore, comprehend, my Minutes in diamonds are sold,
Be warned, my Hours, as a commodity, are priceless all told,
A Day, A Whole Day, a value I hardly dare pronounce,
But for you, this Day, the next Day all Days are yours,
This I am proud to announce....

nine small girls who walked in line
waited for a piece of cake sublime.
the guest of honor took her time
bringing them each a chunk to dine

the girls were patient their upbringing fine
they chanted stories, all told in rhyme
they were all clean, there was no brime
Guest of honor was not named Madeline...

A Manager Can Tenderly Hold Her Staff

Determined that sense will hold structure and be,
Diffusing grace for many to see,
The counters and pillars bold,
Of the firm so cold:
Personal?
Hold
Your mural,
Not your sins all told;
Trust and with affection mould,
Your place in the company and tree,
Determined that sense will hold, structure and be,

Determined that rationality will be,
Diffusing grace for many to see,
The counters and pillars bold,
Of the firm so cold:
Personal?
Hold
Your mural,
Not your sins all told;
Trust and with affection mould,
Your place in the company and tree,
Such that yourself and your colleagues you will free....

Being biologically challenged,
He heard it all through his eerie eyes
He had toilet paper Phobia
So his instinct was not a surprise!

Fingers on his feet made them handy,
And his hands were two feet apart
Full of life but his liver was shot
To be heartless, he had a good heart

His butt was facing to the front
Which made his head a little behind
All told, he was like everyone one else
Just like them, he was one of a kind!...
