Exam Revision

A constant murmur,
with bickering voices
and occasional shriek of glee.
All when I'm trying to revise,
down in the library.



[written in 1988 - do they still have libraries in universities?]

Premium Member They're still doing the nasty

i wake up in the morning
on comes the news
same foolishness and bickering
same pettiness and insanity
same old sh*t different day
shake my head 'cause here we go again !

Family Circus

Welcome to the show!
Bickering, maddening, lying, carnival of fools.
Circus of family.
Ringmasters of entertainment.
Clowns, and sideshow freaks.
Artists of balance, tamers of Lion's.
All working without a net.

Two Mutes In the Press Room

Two Mutes in the Press Room


The two mutes we hired
to wheel hot type 
are bickering again

Their fingers 
quicker than beaks of cocks 
tear the air

with perfect curses
tongues never utter
ears never hear

Mirror

I see two faces
Inside and out
Side by side bickering about

They fight for food
They fight for thought
They fight for everything they haven’t got

I see two faces 
Inside and out
Side by side thinking about

Someone Else's Harmonica

We can’t catch the breezes inside,
so we take to the porches, verandas, fire escapes.
Watch an asbestos moon rise
over steaming rooftops,
and count flags from far away cities.

Below, beetles swallow our Elm trees whole,
as I listen to the neighbors bickering
and someone else’s harmonica.

Premium Member Tranquility in Silence

Can you hear the absence of bickering,
the snickering, snide remarks and animosity?

The pomposity of inflated egos in blogs
that just shouldn't be taking place. 

A blog without the chance for someone's
feelings to be trampled and hurt~
Just once~ humor me for creating such a blog.

Premium Member Witches Glue

Bickering sunlight,
I must leave now.
Just when it was getting good
The pitcher pitched back,
With the juices starting to flow.
So settle your hounds,
Bottle your wings,
Or watch the glass smash in the mirror.
My mind is witches glue.
Audacious, vile, spooking your spine
Into living again.

Yapping

• Will you, won't stop your yapping? • Leaving me scornful with my foot tapping • Should you, need you waste our time? • Bickering about needless and petty things • Do learn to mute it sometime • 'Cause my leave will leave me with glee • With the knowledge that I'm finally free

Premium Member Parliamentary

Clowns bickering over bullying allegations 
Imagine the hyprocracy 
expressed inside these certain voices 
claiming they are defending the indefensible 
When they stand totally ignorant 
in favour of killing babies 
Truth has a backbone to every word 
within that which takes away 
the value from human life

Not Perfect, Infact, Your the Opposite.

I dont want perfect i want my opposite
But despite the bickering please don't quit
I wont tell you, but you have my heart
And i'll think of you when were apart
We disagree on most, more than not
But our entwined minds have not forgot
The smiles, memories and moments shared
The hidden ways we've shown we've cared

Act of Congress

You're their cup of tea, their bread and butter
A real cash cow, drink straight from your udder

If you want laws passed,be a dentist
They'd rather be your ventriloquist

Bickering over minimum wages
Taking their cues from a criminal's pages

You can't pass go and you can not trespass
Unless you are a member of Congress

A Difference In Opinion

A Difference in Opinion 

There once was a conversation
Bickering about something,
Something somewhat preposterous. 
The two fought
 side on side 
Left on right
When in the end they agree to disagree 
cause both are too obstinate, mulish, and pig headed
There all of these at once because no one would listen.

Family Untiy

When your family has an elder
The senior or head of the family
You need to unite together for
The sake of the older family member
You should want them to live
Out their days with peace
Of mind and happiness, knowing
That there’s no bickering
Or bitterness among you 
You can sit all differences aside
For the sake of your elder

To Leave

Thus be the end of us, me
every bickering into thought
(feuled by the emptiness in me)
to let promises be death caught.    
"why", you ask. Million reasons.
Not one good enough.
         All good enough (for me)
at the end
impossible to defend.
Enough to leave.
"Come," you said, "don't be a fool"
Knowlingly
I crawled back into your bed.

Leaving

Left at 9am,
hit the rush hour
crawled a few miles
then warp speed to
40 mph.

Pick up some gas station coffee.
Reaching into glove box
spill said coffee over pants.
Made the freeway
pissed off and squabbling,
10 miles on
still bickering.

It's our vacation
the trunks packed solid,

and we will fight tooth and nail

to be carefree and happy
very soon.

Premium Member Prospect For Peace

Peace is found when people come to their senses
Stop the bickering and contentious debates
Words of anger fortify our defenses
   Peace is found when people come to their senses
   We should make restitution and mend fences
    Arguing is one of our worst human traits
       Peace is found when people come to their senses
       Stop the bickering and contentious debates

Premium Member Can Campy Canines Cajole Cats

Can campy cavorting canines cajole curious cats?
Bickering birdbrains boast between bogeyman’s bats….
Honorably heavenly heifers heighten historical hats,
Manageable Mandarin manatees make moody Michigan maps.
Neutralizing Nebraskans needing normal noontime naps.
Flamboyantly flipping fleshy flannel flea-flipping flatfish flaps.
Can campy cavorting canines cajole curious cats?

Premium Member Winter Ode Number Two

The power keeps flickering.
Don’t mean to be bickering;
Just glad that it keeps coming back.
True, the clocks keep resetting,
But what’s far more upsetting:
When a pump room becomes an ice pack.
The timing’s ill-chosen,
For the pipes to be frozen;
When it blinks, there’s an ominous hush.
If this trend’s not reversing,
There soon will be cursing;
Without water, the toilets won’t flush!

Easter Today

We only kill to save our skin
From the cross
Too much blood flows
For one repentance
One unconformed to lash of tongue
Or bickering bruises of bricks
Shall I state my preference
Though whichever way I pay the price
Justice deferred is not nice
I drink no gall
To dim the diminishless pain of the fall
Let me content alone
In the shining promise pledged by the throne
Of cross lifted
Drawing my will changed and sifted.

Politics As Unusual

Ever notice politics of late?
You're all kicked back and happy
And then it comes like fate!

Of all the bickering that ever was
It's booming through your home
Why You can hardly catch your breath
And you know you're home alone!

And can you believe the money paid, 
To mess up our whole day?
Happens every time!
Can't have things their way!

Yep, "He did this and she did that!"
Just Another Sibling Spat!

A Winter Buffet

A bright winter day
and not a leaf left
on this skeleton 

tree teeming 
with sparrows
chirping and hopping

branch to branch 
waiting for the feeder
to be free of cardinals

juncos and jays 
bickering for seed
while on the ground

four doves
stroll in silence
feasting on spilled 

seed near the tree
where a fat squirrel 
sits with tail high 

in a question mark
ready to dive 
and scatter them all

Premium Member Day To Day

Even when these skies are gray
While so easy to feel dismay
I fight my way through fog that hovers
All the bickering in the world that smothers
The smiles and kindness from others
I listen to a tune and look for the light
Dream of your reach, taking me on a flight
Where I know that I am forever free
Resting in your arms, as you comfort me
Thoughts of you are never far away
With all that consumes me day to day
