The Seven Dwarfs Retire

Packing up to finally leave her,
seven dwarfs getting a breather,
no more butler days,
enjoying sun's rays,
escaping Snow's screams and diva demeanor.

Tapping

In a Poe abode was a butler named Gore.
His assignment was to tend the door.
But he made one error,
His breath was a terror.
Causing callers to exclaim "Nevermore!"

Premium Member Serve Yourself Cat

Serve yourself cat, the grouchy butler said.
Thom was angry now, wishing the old guy was dead.
I have to make my own sandwich? Cut my own bread?
Only if you feel like you’d like to get fed.

Kiwi's Wee-Wee

Beholding a stark-naked Kiwi Prince Charles was bewildered: "What see we?” His butler replied, all blushed and wide-eyed: “Your highness, a Maori… wee-wee."

Premium Member The Butler’s Solution

There were once some giraffes asked to tea
They politely accepted with glee.
The butler remarked, ”Aren’t YOU tall!”
For you, our chairs are too small.
So they drank tea from outside — quite hap’ly

Ugh . . . Poo

I once had a butler so dapper
He had but a slight stutter
On the grounds we once walked
To find treasure of sorts
Wh.. wh.. he stuttered
I know I countered
Then why'd you step on it
He questioned

Premium Member everything I buy

Everything I buy is delivered in enormous trucks
not milk, cheese, meat and bread, right? asks a naysayer.
No. They are delivered in a car by my butler, Bucks.
Because I do not like to go into stores, said the mayor.

Scarlett's Lament

Scarlett's Lament

Fiddlede-diddlede
Scarlett O'Hara, she
slew all the fellas--not
lifting a hand
'Cepting Rhett Butler proved
Incomprehensible
with, "Frankly, my dear, I
don't give a damn!"

Gone With the Wind

Scarlett O' Hara's bonnet  bespeaks,
 "As God as my witness. I'll never be hungry again!"
 It  captures Rhett Butler, Fair Oaks and Tara, 
Survives the Civil War and Ashley's sin.
72 years have passed, that's how long it's been.

life’s unstable death’s staid ~ recombobulation comes by getting laid 

clucked a hen to her sterile rooster ~ being axed by the kitchen maid

who was having a fling with the butler ~ he certainly made her grade

Grandpa's Memoir

    There was a lady, in nineteen nought three,
    Whereon Christmas day, she bathed in the sea.
    But when her swimming suit tore,
    The crowd shouted out encore.
    Just like, what the butler saw, well maybe.

Yus M’Lady 

M’lud swung on the chandelier but then the roof caved in
The rubble all but buried him and came up to his chin
He said, ‘Can we abstain tonight?’ and flashed a noble grin
M’Lady said, ‘You get some rest… I’ll call the butler in.’

The Butler Made Me Do It

Where shall I go ?

             What shall I do   ?


                 Frankly

In search of that Rhett Butler

overload of information
this brain retains
so much I’ve forgotten

the bleepers and bloopers
the Southern charm
with the likes of

well
       bless
                your 
                        heart

watch out for the pretty gowns
sweeping, swiveling, smiling
Rhett Butler knows!

Evening Gown of Yesterday

After days of fog
Moths eat away the slip of winter
Pieces of the New Year
Drift as ash into spring

Eyes waiting abhorrently 
While midnight clasps the last remnants
Tomorrow becomes the butler 
Escorting the sun

Rays peel open the solstice
Tattered wings flutter towards
The lamppost of February
Sealed in pocket mirrors…

He Is

He Is
He is my love, he is my light

He is the only one worth the fight

He is my joy, he eases my pain

He is my sunshine when all it will do is rain

He sees more than others see

He sees what is deep within me

He touches my heart as well as my soul

He is the love of my life I'll never let him go.

Laughing Skull

LAUGHING SKULL

my arms have breached the white walls
of laughing skull.

i have feasted upon their thoughts
today my plate is empty.

the butler of my brain is tired
but continues to serve a feast.

bleached ribs a xylophone 
playing macabre notes.

as my tongue dances inside
the empty hall of my mouth.

Fart Insurance

in the cold dark depth of silence
hallow "insert name"
fart insurance was created
so i could pass the blame
the odds have never been so great
nor has the passing pain
when the butler has to hang his head
and just accept the shame
fart insurance is the reason
rich folks don't pass gas
instead they like to tell you how
flowers shoot out their ass

Scarlett, Rhett, Tara
“Fiddle-dee-dee War War War”
~ ‘I don’t give a whoop’





Poet’s note: Okay, okay, you’re right!  Rhett Butler didn’t give a “whoop” in the most famous line of Gone With the Wind.  If the film censors had their way, it may have ended with a “whoop.”  But they didn’t and the rest is history.

Temptation

if when I walk 
on concrete sidewalks 

stop at the bakery window 
full with pastry

covered in chocolate 
and creams 

I notice 
in the reflection 

a new roundness 
to my frame

and I begin  
to worry 

about You
the new medication 
 
this heaviness 
in my chest 

just keep walking
your parents are diabetic


By Mike Butler

Trust In God

By Betty Harp Butler Troubles may come and go, But our God is steadfast. We can rest and be assured- His mercies are never ending, They will last, and last, and last! Trust in God when things go wrong. Remember that He is always there. Just trust in Him with all your heart, He is as close to you as one prayer.
