Irish Bobbie

Ilene's son was in a Dublin pub
When someone gave his leg an rub 
"A copper to spare?" 
"There's one over there
But he looks a bit like Beezlebub!"

Premium Member Ode To Billie Joe Redux

Since Billie Joe jumped off the Tallahatchie bridge
Nothing has been the same up on the Choctaw ridge
Since Bobbie Gentry, it appears
Up and completely disappears
The Mississippi delta has a new drawbridge.

Nature's Ways

I have seen a red sunset at least a thousand times
I've watched how the Northern lights play in the winter skies
And I have heard it all described within a poets rhymes
But I'd never seen Bobbie Ann bat those big brown eyes
Now the world is upside down when I prioritize

Bo Jo's Shoes

Bobbie jo went
to town to buy
some shoes, but
once again she was
told no shoes here.

"Now, now repiled bobbie
jo, why no shoes."
"Can't you see
bobbie jo, right

in front of you,
the store burned
down last night,

poor bobbie jo,
she can't win
for losing.

Premium Member Merry Sad Christmas

Through
blood stained aeons
religions
tiding astronomical
assuring
the birth of the sun

Shines
the near dead
seasonally depressed
atheist

Glowing

It sure is nice
to celebrate
with everyone

Their Cryptic Elite Of, Sleepy Hollow

International terrorists in a figurative sense and growing numb to this slaughter...
Bewitched they believe that there is no god aside thee ? Fixations, fashioned figurines 
Chanting off with their heads the middle class row his Cu Clux Plan from her Southern poll ?
Shouting someone get love's gun out of Bobbie Woe's hand; Guildman Saxe, these be foreign sands.

Premium Member Fishing

From the dock, our boat speeds off
Into a channel to the calm Gulf of Mexico waters
Stopping when the GPS identifies our favorite reef
Hoping to catch a tasty treat, we cast with anticipation
It’s not until sundown when fish start to hit
Nibbling at our bait in a frenzy until finally
Grouper is on our dinner plate!

Premium Member Bobbie Gentry's Music

Remember the 1967 hit "Ode to Billy Joe"? Number one on the music charts is where it would go. It was recorded by country-western singer Bobbie Gentry. This singer-songwriter reached world-wide popularity. Something she mentions in the song remains a mystery. Bobbie, when you and Billy Joe were up on Choctaw Ridge, what exactly did you throw off the Tallahatchie Bridge?

Bah Humbug

Been off work since twelve nineteen
Should be happy
Some say
But I don't look at it that way
I know in the back of my mind
The work on my desk is piling up
You would think
A co-worker would help me out
But every year
They don't have the holiday spirit
And never go near it
So instead of enjoying my time off
I calendar watch
Dreading that first day to back
After the holidays

Bah! Humbug!
