Gaol Bait

I saw a photo on flickr
Inviting the lads to liquor
Of course they could come
And ad libitum
Or go to gaol if they dicker!

Its such a lovely,carefree joint
I lost a pink flower
My sis dropped a dollar
But we were all fine in the end

Bait!

Bait!


You are a fish
I am your bait
come find me now
and write our fate

Forever open 
is not the gate
so, come catch me now
before it's too late!

Premium Member you be the bait

you be the decoy, the bait, he said
why me? she wondered. Does he want me dead?
they were partners, detectives in D.C.
perpetrator would go after the likes of she.

Bait Fish

Isn't that fish called 
Bunkers, it's bait fish
To some it is bait
For most of us here 
In the Philippines 
It's called Breakfast
Lunch and Dinner 
For a few days.

The Wrong Bait

If I were to go fishing all day,
would you get mad and send me away,
'cause while the fish were biting
my ex was out man-sighting...
I ended up with no place to stay.

Person Incognito

You can manage a human by love,
In case of if not a human-
Beast can be managed only by bait.
I have no such a loaf to rule
A rampant animal.
Nor I hate, that is not my manner.

Bait

dragged to his ruin
ravening fish came to eat -
floating bait of meat.

Premium Member Flashy Bait

You must not hesitate,
If you do you'll be late.
Will you procrastinate?
This ordeal is your fate,
It's not a welcomed date.
Why stare at your plate?
you don't have to negate.
Pick wisely in your mate,
don't trust the flashy bait.

Premium Member Bait

She offers herself as bait
Knowing they might not get to her in time
“You don’t have to do this, Sargent,”
“I know,” she agrees, “but I want to.”
She is determined to lure Trudy’s killer.
"We have your back,"  someone says.
She knows better, but runs ahead anyway.

Premium Member Can'T Wait Fishing Bait

CAN'T WAIT  FISHING BAIT by James Edward Lee Sr.



   I would go into the garage and…
   Gather up all my fishing stuff.
   Soon as I’m done head to car.
   Put key in ignition.
   On my way to lake
   All ready now.
   Wait a sec.
   Forgot
   BAIT

No Bait

like fishing with no bait on hook
i see the steps i should have took
to make you fall, hook line and sinker
for not your average freedom thinker
my corkiness was what you loved
no fear! a gift from the above
no tears! i never made you cry
but all my interest made you fly

Premium Member I Am Henry the Bait I Am

I am Henry the bait I am!
Henry the BAIT I am, I am!
I got married to the window next door.
She’d been married seven time before!
And every one was an Inn-ery
Ain’t had a pillow or a sham!
I listen to this over and over, loving it more each time.
There is nothing more fun than a confident four-year-old.

Anna Banana

My cat Anna
She likes to slide
Anna Banana 
Coming in wide

Riding on the slimy peel
Paws stained bright yellow
Chasing after her next meal 
Furry white mouse fellow 

Stopping short, missing the turn
Sliding past the bait 
Doesn't learn, feeling the burn 
Tasty treat will have to wait

Mouse scurries out the gate 
Poor cat always late

Premium Member The hot air balloon

In this open season of divisiveness and hate,
our President is being diminished like fish bait.
People forgetting his accomplishments and character traits.
They lack empathy for what's been on his plate,
show loyalty to the one facing a criminal fate,
that one who is afraid to debate: the liar,
the racist, the cheater, the snake.
The hot air balloon they elevate.

Premium Member What To Use As Bait

What to use as bait
What wouild catch him?
Compel him?
Inspire him?
Intrigue him?

Should she be herself
Or someone more daring,
More exotic, more lively?
She had some choices to make
She chose unwisely
Landed him 

They married
And her real self came out
Lesson learned
Use your true self as bait
You may not want to catch a fish
Who has nothing in common with you

A Bait

A bait 

Run run their is a fire in the 
Jungle
Take way all your belongings and family 
Each and every step of you give me the pleasure of pain 
Run dear run if you complete 9 Step 11 would be my mind it 
Take a teddy sleep until ravana will come to you and hand over me your butter waist run dear run it's fire in the jungle 
Good morning 

With love all

Bait and Switch...

What a world,I find myself,
stagnant pools in wait engulfs
.....a vortex of negativity
the positive having to face such enmity...

Feeling the need to escape strangulation
surrounded by those whom enforce diminution
evil conspirators against loving transition
....only looking to exchange positions...

Bait and switch of a different kind,
as evil pursuance destroys the mind...

Premium Member Man Bait

Oh don't think that I ain't seein
As you roll them purty eyes
And my man stands there a gogglin
Like he'd won some sorta  prize.
My ma taught me aplenty
How to keep that man of mine
And how to reel him back in
When he gets too long a line.

You'll be feelin mighty foolish
When I cut you down to size,
For there ain't no man worth keepin
Can resist my apple pies.

Cut Bait

Some have better things to do, before the crack of morn, than digging for earthworms in the dew-soaked dawn, but no not me, you see, as, the longer I looked for the creepy-crawlies, the more I was hooked. 'Why that time of day?', ask you may, well, as my daily wish, is a tasty breakfast dish, I had heard, somewhat like the bird, the early worm catches the fish.
