The Vindictive Brakes

She jumped on my hand.

She slammed her foot on my head.

I decided to retaliate,

So now she is…..

MISTAKES

She made the biggest mistakes
When suddenly put on the brakes
From going all the way
With a guy named Play
So, he ended up giving her the shakes

Sun Brakes the Horizon

rooster wakes the dawn
sound of hens fluttering wings
tender grass springs out

Roses Are Red

At first all red
We hit the brakes
Then amber lights
A few mistakes
Green for go
But take it slow

Gimme a Brake

A UFO went to land in Dakota
But the brakes didn't work one iota.
        It didn't take long
        to decide what was wrong
seems the space ship was made by Toyota!

Bmx

Walking up the hill
Head on straight 
Strapping on gloves
Sitting on the gate
Clipping in the petals
locking up the brakes
leaning
standing 
sweating
shaking
waiting
and then
Slam

Old Bessie

Old rusty Bessie just drove her last mile
  Went with a sputter instead of a smile
    No more brakes slipping
    No more gears ripping
  Think I'll relax with a horse for a while

Eap - True Friends .

Your true friend sees you ...

   By the smile showing pride .

    As the strength by their  side .

     By the trust you'll  confide .

      As the brakes , on life's  slide ...

A Slight Delay

The brakes squeak
and the car hisses…..
a puncture

The spare tyre replaced
the engine revs again
the journey continues.

21 Means

Twenty-one means you can have your first drink.
Not soda, milk, orange, a Roy Rogers, nor shake.
Yes, a beer, wine, whisky, martini, vodka. Just think -
Remember good strong coffee will put on the brakes.

Funnel

Twenty-two is a shitty Thing. No age left to look forward To, the slow decline steepens As your brakes quickly go out. Oh. How could I Forget? My Insurance Goes up at Twenty-five. I Cannot Wait.

Drivers

I detest bad drivers
They threaten me
They cut me off,
Don’t let me be

I abhor bad drivers 
They’ve no regard
Being polite
Is just too hard

I loathe bad drivers
They slam on brakes
They pass me by
And make mistakes

So Sad

You don't even notice
the beautiful landscape of life...
You don't see any color!
I arrive and propose
a stop for study...
you simply
and without brakes, accelerate...
move on madly
with nothing to carry,
and without me...!

Nothing Like Swan Lake

On a cold ice bound day, a duck with her drake
    Flew into land, upon an ice covered lake.
    While ice skating seemed fun,
    Round the ice they both spun.
    Ducks on ice without brakes, soon get a headache.

Category 5 Potholes

Like riding on the handle bars of a bike
                        with no brakes, going down Telegraph hill
                        in San Francisco,... during an earthquake…
                       ...With a flower in your hair…If you like.

Cogito Ergo Sum I Buy I Exist

I have my fears
I have my brakes
but without much thinking
I buy myself many things.
I accumulate many .debts...
Out of fear I tell myself some things
to rationalize and apologize...
I buy, I consume...
Soon I exist...!
 Cogito ergo sum ! !

If I Were a Guy, I'D

If I were a guy…I’d…

Go on a hunt
Learn to punt
Fix my own brakes
Eat rare steaks
Sport long johns
Stomp on tampons
Start bar fights
Ignore red lights
Swing a big axe
Stare at huge racks
Pack a huge luger
Nail a rich cougar!

Slippery Slope

SLIPPERY SLOPE



If the world’s intentions
Were turned into actuality
Wars, famines, infections
Would cease to be reality



Our broad highway is not internet
But icy blackness without brakes
For most there is no safety net
But there must  be  - for all our sakes

Squealing Brakes

Silent empty train,
Lush warm body presses mine
Slow down or derail

Eyelashes flutter
Blue eyes flash intense passion
Too late now, no brakes

All My Fears

I have all the fears
Which gave birth
Only to tears
All the things I borrow
Give rise only to sorrow
And have I all pains
Bring forth no gains
And am I just as sick
To look like a stick
Even if I did rake
I’ll need all the brakes
O God, grant the kish
To end all my wish!
