Who ordered his staff to work faster
The faster they went
Bruce would not relent
Causing a major disaster

What reality has done to Bruce Jenner,
once on top, an Olympic gold winner.
Although he still has his gold,
he’s now on the bottom doing as told!

There once was a man named Bruce Jender.
Decided that he'd change his gender.
He grew out his hair.
And then he used nair.
She's tired of being a pretender.

Premium Member Excuse Bruce

There was a fellow named Bruce
Who  always had an excuse
When his wife caught him cheating
She gave him a beating
And threw him out on his caboose

So he went to his mistress
in desperation and distress
But he got under her skin
as his excuses grew thin
So she threw him out, she wasn't impressed

Premium Member During the Job Interview, I Was Worried the Interviewer Hadn'T Heard Fire By Bruce Springsteen

his nose was distracting
but so was mine
i listened to it ; in the car on the way
there
the bass was in my brain

what if he'd never heard it?
the questions kept coming
questions about
stuff 
thinking about the book of judges
i saw paintings  

i followed him home
hid beneath the window pane
but heard nothing

i didn't get the job

Premium Member In Memoriam: Cousin Bruce



Beneath this green sod, lies
my Cousin Bruce.
It's true, his mother called him
'Silly Goose.'
Oh, that Nordic DNA, those
gorgeous blue eyes, and sense
of humor.
A skier and a Porsche race car
driver, he grew up to be.
Always filled with humor and
a genuine love for humanity.
Leukemia took his life at forty.
He serves God now, in grateful
and glowing, angelic glory.

Brother Bruce Tell Me This

How can I say
the truth, no way!
Suffering and smiling,
Mentality is what i milling
and the help hand heralds rumor
Let someone ask me why i murmur
Ben Bruce tell me this, is it hypocrisy?
Why not tell the house this is not democracy.
Why donate you this prank, this peg for a plate,
Why can’t it be upon a time in this our slave slate?
They say Harry d’Bull is a God’s good man, let him
know that it is still dusk is still dark, dusty and more dim

The Tantalisation of John Bruce

Of John Bruce, the poet, and Grayson Perry's exhibition, 'The Vanity of Small Differences'...

Outside looking in
From John’s pocket moths appear
As violins weep
Beggars from the pavement see
Art through a glass darkly

Grayson’s woven tales
Of social mobility
Inaccessible
Myths of the tapestries lost
To legend and irony

Illicit colours
Seep through windows to the street
Teasing, beautiful
Sweet tale of the poet’s life
John Bruce; tantalised by light
