Short Brochure Poems

I dug and dug and broke out of jail,
the warden searched not finding my trail,
for while he looked toward east
I was not there in the least...
the brochure said: Caribbean sail!...

Our town of Newmarket is alive with kooks
Evidence is the number of sillies and spooks
Unusual to be sure
In our brochure
An image of Goofy in a warm wooly tuque...

Cobalt cragged peaks amidst clouds 
Cathedrals they are, proud so tall
Years of erosion now shout loud
My eyes now view in total thrall
Their reflections upon natures pure
Sharing many marvels from her brochure...

Someone over 200 pounds, start at the lowest setting
On an Elliptical Trainer can burn 400 calories, that's bed wetting!
Says the brochure
Gonna buy one for sure
Soon be a trim senior if my ticker doesn't start objecting...

Someone  over 200 pounds, for 30 minutes at the lowest setting
On an Elliptical Trainer can burn 400+ calories, that's bed wetting!
Says the brochure
Gonna buy one for sure
Soon be a slim trim senior, if my ticker doesn't start objecting...

New Orleans French quarter bakeries
feature luxurious flavorsome bene’s
palatable pumpkin pies, exquisitely decorated cookies
aromatic meaty soups, nectarous scones, rich dipping sauces
appetizing cobblers, and cream puffs larger than clouds.
My nose lead the way after I found the brochure
I was not disappointed...

Has it really, really come to this Lord?
That you demonstrate your earthly failure
Through the use of a sacrificial sword
Worse through proclamation in a brochure.

We stare down the barrel of a bottle
In darkness we gaze at the pledge maker
Answer the question fore the rising sun
The last thought fore we meet our caretaker....

WORLD CRUISE

Wonder of wonders, I'm beating my blues
Off on a long awaited cruise
Read about it in a brochure
Looked like it may be a cure
Don't really know for sure

Costly as it may prove to be
Right now, I think it's for me
Under duress for so long
It's time to sing a new song
So I'm off now the world to roam
Eventually, I may come back home...

Why I agreed, I’m not really sure
Others had pressed me, gave me a brochure
Ready or not, I’m off to Jamaica
Look Mon, have fun, it’s a piece of cake-a
Don’t worry, be happy is their favorite song
Chasing the seas, I went right along
Rounding the corner of upper deck B
Using the handrail to steady the sea
I finally settled into my sea legs
Sipping on cocktails, now my stomach begs
Especially for olives and caviar eggs

To endure is to mature. It will teach you how to spot manure, when to take a detour and be able to resist the allure of the impure.

When you endure you become secuure, for you'll start to see the contour of things that were obscure, then life you'll savour. 

And life will take you on a tour but if you endure it will ensure Fervour.

So why not grad a brochure, take life's grand tour, just make sure, you Endure.

Endurance Is Insurance....

Let’s stay at Oinkington Inn the easily pleased relative said.
Her husband looked at brochure and said I’d rather be dead.
The pigs are lovely, she replied. There is nothing to dread.
He told her to go to her family reunion with her cousin Ned.

The sows and hogs were truly placated and fine.
We visited them near an old abandoned crystal mine.
You should come next time to the reunion, she said.
Best part is, a sow ran off with my mean cousin Ned....

The glossy brochure made a promise,
To those maybe living with strife,
That by moving to their Senior Eden,
You’d find “wellness” the way of your life.

Though perhaps their apartments are lovely
And the clubhouse has classes and such,
To offer a life filled with “wellness,”
Is really, to me, just too much.

For no matter how shiny the pamphlet,
It all adds to a hill full of beans
When you bat around language like “wellness,”
Since I have no idea what it means.
