loss from a yawn #732

when the seven-ten 

row's worth a throw of the 
rice then the spice may be 

loaded with sauce from some 

bones rolling slowly up-
hill to a pinhead too 

nice not to topple

Stop your balderdash and poppycock 

You're the biggest windbag on the block

Everything that you've said 

Must have gone to your head 

Cuz your bean's the size of Plymouth Rock

Balderdash

"balderdash"


there once was a man named Lear
it can be said it can't be quite clear

if none of the nonsense he wrote
would in a pea-green boat float

but he wasn't King or Norman
that's q*eer

Premium Member Poet Ogden Nash

Here's a salute to Poet Ogden Nash,

   Who was notable for being quite brash!

      He was much more wittier

         Than John Greenleaf Whittier,

            Concocting reams of clever balderdash!

Myorkas claims he's runnin' outta cash

   In case there is a future tempest bash

      Seems to me without a doubt

         'Twas blown to help our 'guests' out

            That's a very huge crock of balderdash

Why Don'T I Say Balderdash To Midnight Moon

Why don't I 
jump up and 
down with my hand 
on my head yelling
"balderdash!" 
When the poem 
strings me out
even from the very title, 
like politics, history or 
makes no sense like dreams? 
 
Thank goodness some people 
can write like this. 
I can't.

Balderdash and buttonholes
Are they wearing real mink stoles?
Reminds me of the days of trolls.
As I say this my eye rolls.
My silly side lives in the drolls.
Are those horses with their foals?
Where are the sanitary bowls?
Balderdash and buttonholes
This poem has grown a nose that rolls.

Premium Member Deceit In the Shadows

deceit in the shadows
of a failing mind
listen to your silence
pick up the heart pieces

deceit in the shadows
illusion's discomfort
black bird balderdash
picking at your mind

deceit in the shadows
the wind walker's laugh
magic of the shrode
pick at your cell zones

deceit of the shadows
of one who is seeing
them for the first time
as they are not as mere illusions

Premium Member Chasing Moonbeams

Folderol and balderdash,
nonsensical, sweet whimsy.
Musical, so airily,
she prances round the elm tree.
Mimsy do, in flimsy blue
with bells upon her head, ho!
Where she goes, I do not know,
exquisite, never chintzy.
A woodland sprite, her face alight,
she coyly beckons fireflies.
Off into the dark, they go,
playing out a dance mid-flight.
Mirthfully, her friends in tow,
she’s chasing moonbeams in the night.

hound rarely says 
that it will 
settle for simply non-fat
          plain yoghurt

at its height the Seething Hy-
drogen Plasma will leave its den to 
invent the End that's long been in store 
for      us

nine red-violet 
idols intervened to 
deliver an enliveningly 
violent diversion for 
our toney tender loins

#2
no fewer than 
four woeful felon were-
wolf loungers re-
newed growling aboard their 
newly tainted yellow-green and 
grunge-splattered gurneys 

#3
for blue-mean burgeoning 
golf states the 
best way to retool blonder 
hair shaft maintenance is 
through nebulous 
globalization combined with 
the further whirled onset of 
bald faced lies
