Clumsy clunker
  Sunk in neurotic funk
  Lord of the manor of cliché-ridden junk...

Mr. Archie Bunker
For the good ole days did hunker
   
   Confronted with 'ethnics' or punkers
   He turned green at the gills...went bonkers...

At a bunker in coastal Ukraine
Filth and death; now sadly do reign
With wide open wounds
Many might well die soon
Yet They've never of covid complained...

To some he was a punk,
to others quite a mystery.
A jailbird and a drunk?
A fan of film and fistery?
But now that he’s defunct,
finally, Bunk is history....

In a bunker having his way
When a golf ball took his breath away
Got struck on the head
Minnie groaned and said
Mick is this what they call fore play

He’s got a dirt bunker in the back yard he says.
Why? I ask.
To hide from the cops.
And the FBI another kid says.
They surely are full of sassy stories in this trailer park....

Archie Bunker, blunderer;
Lived life wishing for thunder.
The praise never came;
Had himself to blame;
Archie was no, free-thinker.

I own a rooster
live on a farm
the animals vote
I am simply caretaker

Under my farm
there is a huge bunker
a thousand men in uniform
systems, equipment and missiles

I am simply caretaker...

Archie Bunker
A good ol' boy,
Opinionated and moody,
He tended to be broody.

Edith Bunker
Was Archie's wife.
With a cheerful outlook she fought his strife.
The one bright spot in Archie's life.

Archie Bunker made Edith a saint
His attitude made most people faint
His words often cruel
He acted like a fool
But She still loved him with no complaints

I don’t mean to bust Archie’s hump.
He meant well, the simple old chump,
   But damn, how buffoonish
   His views, so cartoonish,
In short, he’d have staunchly liked Trump!

All hail Abby Jones:
Her sock drawer filled with
Mundane and ordinary thoughts,
Locked in a bunker
Of imagination.
She’s confused.
She doesn’t know who she is.
Neither do I.
She wears tall socks in spring
Because she doesn’t want
To look at her ankles....

Archie Bunker the bigot so grumpy
In old armchair sat crusty and lumpy
Dirty dreary life
Mistreating his wife
Women's lib went quick feisty from frumpy

The lust overtakes 
the content.
Winter solstice gives the answer.
        
        *

    The winter moon.
How much a bunker will 
    provide you the shelter ?


        *

    A countryside.
The huddled mushrooms 
    protecting their kids.

Sail soil sad bad

I have accepted myself, now.

In incompleteness, 
and all flaws.

The bunker was intent, 
on self-destruction. Why 
did you want to 
stop that ?

The prodigy will not 
walk with me, I know.
Yet my shadow falls in love.

A tear-washed poem 
was a good beginning.

triplets in rhyme

Just need two under par 
I've mastered this shot
and my partners will lose.

One is my only son,
and a friend from college.
Fond memory's my muse.

Soar among the Eagles!
I'll let my soul sing,
their spirits to bolster.

I let loose measured stroke.
My eagle's in flight
soaring t'wards a bunker....

snippy snappy sneezy snarly snail
met Melton Mickey, a piece of mail
preening privately in potter’s pail
saying Selena’s son Shawn should shortly sail

allowing alloys, alligators and aliens ale
believing beyond bunker boy’s blueblood bale
kicking kindhearted kiwi into kangaroo kale
amusing snippy snappy sneezy snarly snail...

There once was a man named Archie
Definitely not so starchy
Ridicule his best gift
Supremacy his lift
An upper hand controlled Archie

Bunker was his family name
Superiority his game
He put intellect down
Made Michael wear a frown
And his viewers flush with red shame

Archie Bunker


Archie Bunker's political stance,

He did NOT seem too shy to advance. 

Was he funny, or crude?

Right on target, or rude?

In today's world, he'd NOT have a chance!

Your love is the end
Because you make my world stop
Only we exist

You become my world 
But then I lose my old one
It fades from my thoughts 

Concepts, worries, friends 
Unforgiving and barren
A nuclear winter

Winter can’t touch me
I have the warmth of your heart
Keeping me alive 

You become my all
In our own little bunker
Watching the world burn...
