“Slap stick” brought him fame
Chuckled when I watch his flick
But never saw him “slap a stick”...

The alter ego of Charles Spencer Chaplin
Was a disaster just waiting to happen
The Little Tramp was clearly oblivious 
That his presence was deleterious

Charlie Chaplin won third place in a look-a like contest
At times things don't add up, as silly goes it's the best
Still chuckling over this
The irony can't be missed
Maybe he was two-faced and maybe wore a dress...

Limerick: Once Chaplin wanted to play Brando

Once Chaplin wanted to play Brando
So he hired a walrus for duo
Walrus refused to shave
Lather’s scent far too grave:
Chaplin played Hitler with moustachio!

Charlie Chaplin won third place in his own look alike contest
At times things don't add up, as silliness goes this is the best
Still chuckling over this
The irony can't be missed
Maybe he was two-faced and maybe wore a tight dress...

Utterly lifeless than a mannequin,
His lips would not utter a sound,
But was he an adept expound?...

Someone shot a sloth-
in time-lapse photography
Descending a tree
 with Charlie Chaplin movements
minus mustache,
its tail hooked over its arm like a walking stick

The eye never moved–
like a dancer's in pirouette,
sunlight flashing like a million paparazzi

Overcome by clouds-
a most un-sloth-like creature....

"Everything we ever happen to notice comes to us through the filter of own perceptions, absolutely everything you ever experience really is all about you" ~ Dewey Dirks.

"Mirror is my best friend, cause when I cry it never laughs" ~ Charlie Chaplin.

Who is greater man or woman?

It's clear because of the wo I meant woo.

Time ticks on into the night
A nonchalant, half-hearted fight
Save it for the morning after
Soften the blow of recurring nightmares
As the initial emotion recedes
Love is a battle and everyone bleeds
Impatiently, I wait through the silence
Then try to provoke a passionate violence
Your ignorance poisons my useless veins
Enforces your trustworthy barricade
A solid obstruction that I can't dispute
Words can't compete with a self-imposed mute...

I could put Charlie Chaplin to shame,
With the silent movies playing in my head
Like black and white reruns of all the times
You made my heart race, made the butterflies flutter
In these movies you never let me go. 
No kiss was ever the last kiss
Your arms, my fortress where I am safe and loved
Who knew our love story would turn in to a nightmare
Shredded and shattered you still own all the pieces 
Of the heart that beat just for you....
