Premium Member Gassy Santa Near Atlanta

Stuck with gas, no antacid had Santa
as he flew Christmas Eve near Atlanta.
When Santa Claus farted,
the reindeer all darted.
And poor Santa cried out, "Oh, Mylanta!”

Jobless In Atlanta

Unemployment line
Single file to soup kitchen...
Fear of homelessness

Unemployment line
Cries in emergency room...
Fear, no insurance

Unemployment line
Like a faith-healer's crusade...
Hope to help, heal, house

Premium Member Santa From Atlanta

There was a guy whose nickname was Santa
That hailed from the great state of Atlanta 
.              Who acted like scrooge
              And a huge, loud stooge
     Now he lived; near beach in a cabana

Premium Member Santa's Retirement

There was a guy named Jake , from Atlanta
 In the Winter season he would play Santa
                    But he left that gig
                     To buy a big rig
     Next he wed a sweet lady named Anna

Moonlight In Atlanta

I devoured her in the way the moon took over the night time shining its light in all the darkest places, gazing among places untouched by another’s light. I was always your sun and you were my moon. Innocent rays of light touching each other's skin.

Premium Member Another Visit

The doctor had not gotten the paper work back from Atlanta so he could 
not say what they said..

No news is good news so they say..

He put me on a heart monitor to wear for 24 hours..  

So another trip back to the doctor tomorrow..

Premium Member Atlanta

Atlanta, Georgia Is filled with some smart people The parks offer peace 'Til someone is killed by guns Sometimes~stabbing, girl and dog
Nearly every night or even in daylight someone is killed in the Atlanta area (including several towns and counties), sometimes in twos.

Premium Member Feisty Gorilla

There was once a ZOO in Atlanta,
that had an old gorilla named Anna.
She had a special trick,
that would make you quite sick,
when she’d throw you up-chucked banana.

Serendipity

Have you tasted electricity?
                                              If you do it's serendipity
                                                 That you rock n roll
                                                   Like a Barby doll
                                            In the heart of  Atlanta City

Not So Civil

Expansive bloody rot, a necrotic smell, overwhelmes young nostrils.
Nightmares, anxiety unable to love
Death follows me and takes those I love
Smoke and fire rise around my heels
As Atlanta burns, behind my exit.



Scarlett's exit of Atlanta in "Gone With the Wind."

Premium Member Example of understatement

What if the orbiting earth were to unexpectedly run into a brick wall
speeding through the galaxy one night in the middle of Fall?
Can you imagine the sounds of death, destruction, and annihilation
as Christchurch, New Zealand, crashes into the Atlanta Metro bus station?
I don’t think that that would be any fun at all!
