Booth (Final Curtain)

Booth. How you hated the Union.
The end of suffrage you so despised.
One in the brain of the great orator.
Death in the theatre.
Sic Semper Tyrannis.


Premium Member The Phone Booth

    Dressed in 'Down's Syndrome,' the children
       set up a phone booth on stage

       inciting audience rage
    when E.T. refused to phone home

Man leaves phone booth too quickly, and then?
            Knocks his front tooth out with his gold fountain pen.

What says London more than this The Red Telephone Booth can't be missed On a walking tour Nothing grabs you more Says London like Big Ben and the British mist

General Booth Enters Heaven

Accompanied by tambourines and his effacing pomp
A blind bearded man walks proudly through the gate
Warmth welcomed him a young man of eighty three
A kind gentle honest man now promoted to glory

To Voting Booth Race

To Voting Booth Race

Why let her experience go to waste
Hillary in Presidency should be placed
Time for woman in White House being
My wife and I have been agreeing
And to voting booth we both raced.

Uncouth In Kissing Booth

Uncouth In Kissing Booth

Trump was out of control and uncouth;
Grabbed women's anatomy in kissing booth;
He was one;
Had overdone
His screws are loose and so is each tooth.

Be prepared for fallout.

Blood On The Toll Booth

In debt
with a dollar’s
down payment
on lies

Veracity
hiding
the truth
in disguise

Intentions
repaving
the highway
to hell

With blood
on the toll booth
and lye
— in the well

The Lonely Booth

Sitting at this booth sipping the last sip
Of my soul while my wounds drip
The light above me flickers on and off
All motion around me ceases and pause
All I have is beverage of memories 
And a white paper filled with poetry

The angel works the tollbooth
Exclaiming commands for change
They are a barber on the side
with faded tattoo arms
Holding shears made of fire
coated in silent pious rage
Hiding blood in their thermos
Waiting for a Judgement day

Premium Member Eavesdropping In the Next Booth

I want your husband she told me.
So, I laughed and said, “come and get him.”
There is loud laughter.
Totally curious, I have to walk past their booth now
To see what these women look like
 I really want to sit down with them to figure out which voice
goes with whom.

Premium Member Lying Phone Booth

The lies people believe mount like hills of trash at a dump!
Trees are chopped off the family tree, leaving only a stump
All I can say is, it’s not too late to research for the truth
Save your life and forget the mainstream media’s lying phone booth!

Frog Kissing Booth

The animals on the 
farm are having
their annual county
fair.

Frogs from the pond
have agreed to
set up a kissing booth,

so far no takers,
except other frogs,
but for 50 cents,

it's a good deal, all
the proceeds go to
homeless farmers,

so come on down,
kiss a frog, hey
it's for a good cause.

Phone Booth

Your "I love you" is like a noose
And your touch is
a touch too cruel
You swore you'd treat me apple pie sweet I should've tasted the cyanide Known you were killing me But now you're all stuck In my lungs Cigarette smoke It's a slow choke You'll never let me free or Leave me alone Goodbye love I'm hanging up the phone

Red Telephone Booth

An old gaunt lady
With feeble steps 
Walked to the red telephone booth
On the roadside pavement
Every day she dialed a number
And spoke inaudibly into the receiver
As tears streamed down her crinkly face
This continued for an hour
Until she resigned for the day
Hoping for another heartfelt conversation
A baffling mystery unsettled us
Spectators to this daily drama.

towards the exhalting booth

dotherant's hardened mule

news of numbers and yearling's pew
ardvakians, mustering askance the dairy
frolic, adhere, nearer, when forward

finding in country
beliefs?
how have you been beaten?
never the please you say

smiteful river of dirt you burried?
startled priors, trampled by grass weavings
I shall share a terrain with newalking briarly today
in the moss groves of yourn I will a, wait

Premium Member dial tone

A 
Phone call
That will go
Ignored then on -
Static pours out from
The receiver until
I can hear your voice through it. 
Let me drown in this soft white noise,
Let me sleep until I dream of you;
Your form flickers in my memories. 
When the dial tone breaks the facade
And I'm left alone in the booth, 
All I can think to do is 
Rummage around looking 
For just one more - oh,
That quarter was 
The last one
I had
Left.

Premium Member The Kissing Booth

All a platonic trend.
Two brothers and a friend.
Since childhood all began.
From morning till night's end.
Fun times that they would spend.
Till love hath just descend.

A friend with boxed glove.
Brother, more sort of.
The wiles of young love.
A swoon mourning dove.
Played 'pull the leg of'.

Kissing booth scene.
Unraveled seams.
Break by all means.
Nothing but dreams.

None of that.
You spoiled brat.
Love at-bat.

Brother

Premium Member Woman in the Next Booth

The woman in the next booth was gorgeous
Ronnie started to introduce himself
Then he saw the cigarette
His mother had been a smoker

He could not abide the stench of it
The smell of nicotine curdled his nose hairs
He walked rapidly away, wishing she was not a smoker
But alas, she was, so they were not meant to be

The woman stared at the handsome man who had left
For a second she thought he was going to speak
But then he turned and ran
As if he had seen a werewolf
