As the monsoon drops
Regardless of ifs and buts
Moistened my window 
The devotion gave way to
A blue infatuation

Chicken roasts and all

There were no guys quite like Ben and Jerry

She liked it with nuts
No ifs, ands or buts
And she often found room for a cherry...

Loss feels heavy
Beyond fancy


Heavy this wreck
Unfinished tracks


Abrupt harsh cut
No ifs or buts


Void in torn page
Loss bestows rage

There was a nice lady inspired from haedes,
And there wasn’t any ifs, ands, buts or maybes,
She liked to think she was nice,
But those thoughts couldn’t suffice,
as she voted for the right to kill God’s babies....

Am never alone,
My soul follows,
As shadow of mine;
I converse with her,
And she follows;
In all ifs and buts,
She assures,
"You ain't alone 
Am with you";
Follows me,
Day and night;

You're so fat, your scale yells “Get the hell off!”
Fruits and salads for you I suggest, hey, no guffaws
No ifs, ands, or buts
Tasty stuff must cut
Okay you're not as serious as I first thought...

Painful lies,
broken ties.
Burned down dreams,
razor-ed seams.
Hellish fire,
ruined empire.
Bloody cuts,
hopeless "buts."
Hurtful words,
"You deserve..."
Silent cries,
regretted goodbyes.
Baby, it's a World of Hurt....

Tasty, oh so
fine, this dough, thin
phyllo pastry.

No ifs or buts,
the walnuts, chopped,
are what’s inside.

For your money,
pure honey, not
runny, is best.

And Turkish? Shriek!
Yes, unique, but
it’s Greek to me....

Mercilessly, no ifs, ands, buts -
His wife of one year, who is nuts,
Coldcocks him with a paper tube.
What’s worse from this wife, who’s a boob,
Her killing’s done with paper cuts.

Apt aim arts
Set swift start
Prize poise parts


Tough times tell
Spice sure sell
Words work well


Glimpse good gloom
Bright blogs boom
Reap rich rooms


Craft clear cuts
Bright bold buts
Grace grand guts

Iffying’s hoping
That what you want might occur
At some future time
In some “to come day”
To fulfill all your desires,
Get for you your wants.

Iffying’s cousins
Are “ands” and “buts”, “maybes” and
Procrastinations.

The falling of a giant
Awakens another giant
The removal of a door
Reopens another door
Wiping these tears off my eyes
I am about to live my life
Roll out the carpet, the one that is meant to be rolled
There is no ifs nor buts, search the soul
Loyalty is imperative
I am coming...

With ifs and buts she lived in an illusion of future

When this and when that in a prison of dishonesty

But her life happens here and now is the essence or

Else present dysfunction merely awaits one final call

I never flatter
Size doesn’t matter!

We are so small but we have come this far
Because of our wisdom that knows no bar!

We are so small but we can understand God
Because we can make our mind extremely broad!

We are so small but we can win a zillion of hearts
Because we can be kind regardless of ifs and buts!...
