SANDALWOOD AND THE AXE poetrix



      How wonderful is the sandalwood
        that even when it succumbs
     perfumes the axe that cuts it down!


Axe

The straight forward attitude mine
Bestows me a killer quotient fine
Wherever I traverse and traject
Let there be all peace project(ed)..!

Alfred the Great
Said, " Peace without axe I will bring with baptism and ring
And beyond all ken
Dunk enemy king and wed Saxons with great Danes to create Englishmen."

Premium Member He Asked For the Axe

Eddie Johnson's neck, severed by the axe
On account of a few ethical cracks
   Found in his off-duty car
   Asleep outside of a bar 
For a couple beers ~ politically whacked

Premium Member Axe Waiting To Fall

Painful cracked heel
Wolf nipping at the entrance
Axe waiting to fall.

Premium Member Tom Turkey Evades the Axe Again

Tom Turkey's doom again was kept at bay

   He wasn't picked for Thanksgiving entree

      Hunkered down to keep his head

         His pals were victims instead

            Tom survived to live for another day

Premium Member Thomas Turkey Avoids the Dreaded Axe

Tom Turkey got lost 'midst the teeming flock,

   Thus, avoiding the dreaded chopping block!

      Hunkering down spared his life,

         Averting the carving knife!

            He now recovers from traumatic shock!

Axe

It hangs right down below my knees,
And ladies beg, ‘ Let’s try it, please.’

They’ve never handled such a whopper
As that, my super massive chopper.

Ridiculous exaggerations about the size of my axe, of course!
For Susan’s contest

Hope no one's offended by this...

"battle-Axe"

I'm Made of Iron, Hard and Lean
My Name's Well Known, I'm Wicked Mean!
   
   Heads Still Moan from My Crack,
   Some Went Under, Upon Their Back;

So if you See Me in a Fight,
Run Like Hell, yea Take Flight!

   For Peace and Mercy I Have'nt Concern;
   It's Blood I Crave, and Yours I Yearn!

The Axe Forgets

Axe forgets and soon is forgiven,
We know, trees do not take up the gun,
But work hard sans sad grin
To keep planet’s plants green;
And sun sets for the day, its job done.
We humans... no sun are,
Nor are trees mean by far,
Alas, things revert back whence begun.

Premium Member Soda Tax Axe

The pols say: ‘A soda tax is OK.’
Cynical voters nix them anyway ~
   For they rightly suspect
   Pols just want to collect ~
Behind it all, a revenue grab preys

Attilas Axe

Attila's axe quick and witty.
Wallering away in self-pitty.

Double edge bladed words,
characteristic of a domestic carp.

I take what you say in stride,
think and analyze.

Calling me ugly names,
is your judgemental opinion game.
You think you've won,
and lowered me to your domain.

Attila's axe so quick and witty,
liquor impaired your judgement
and made your mind scatty.

Premium Member My Little Man Takes His Axe

Im living in my pigpen
Its my kitchen its my den

Flunking school just can't sit still
My moms convinced I need some kind of pill

I just need a haircut every now and then
At school don't need no paper I don't need no pen

Time to pick up this axe show a little will
Time to get off my butt get on my axe and KILL

Premium Member Kissing Badger Santas Axe

badger Santa was the head of the Winter Mafia
godfather of the forest in non-Santa town
animals came to kiss the ring
asked for favors
he was the boss
they brought offerings
hoping it would be enough
badger Santa ran for president
he had the worst character traits
but the animals were afraid to not vote for him
afraid of repercussions
history perpetually repeats itself, said the historians

Axe

The fleeting journey,
The fallen army.

They came in ranks,
Some fell like planks.

They went across a bridge,
Some fell over a ridge.

They travelled at night,
Some things were hidden from their sight.

They fought monsters,
Some fled on bolsters.

They pushed beyond the boundary
at the cry of the canary.

It was a mission to be accomplished,
At the fountain, they'll be replenished.

Premium Member He Gave His Job the Axe

My charming husband hails from Halifax
Where they make the world’s finest beeswax
For years he worked preparing income tax
Wearing a suit and tie with neatly pressed slacks
He would take care of details including sales tax
Correspond with clients usually by phone or by fax
The day he retired he reached an all-time climax
I proposed he start to learn to play the sax
But he says he loves to chill and just relax

The Axe and the Forest

Even as the forest grew thin and frail,
The trees kept cheering the axe.
For the axe was cunning — smooth with speech,
And wore a handle carved from their flesh.

It whispered, “I am one of you,”
And they believed —
As the sound of chopping became their anthem,
And their roots trembled beneath their faith.

They fell, one by one,
Singing loyalty to their destroyer —
Until the forest was gone,
And only the axe remained,
Lonely, with nothing left to cut.

The Old Woman and The Tall Tree

The tree in my backyard has been watching me since I was three.
As time passed, its gaze has never set me free.

In the light, it gives a shadow;
in the dark, it hides the light.

This tree makes my life just not right.
Like the other night, it knocked on my window, gave me a fright.

This damn tree is trying to take my life;

I know it looks at me like a killer with a knife.

So with an axe, I hacked it to the ground,
And joyfully, wildly, I danced around.

Lumbered

Early in a damp woodsman's camp seeing sawyers from a logging town to stop the conversation bogging down as asked my age among other things I replied, 'Cut off my head and count the rings,' then had to be quick-witted and fast-footed made a bee-line through the trees so as not to lose my noggin when a burly lumberjack grabbed his axe I ducked and dodged his mighty swing which (in a nonce) saved my bacon (and my bonce) and them's the actual facts
