Sipped one Pabst
  Sobriety lapsed
Resolve collapsed

  Resurrected
His checkered past
  His fiancé aghast
Once more, outcast...

Premium Member Racist Checkers
Racist checkers-ego fueled. 
Back and forth they go. 
Jump me once I'll jump you twice. 
Careening toward the darkest back row.

Nothing left but two lonely pieces. 
Forever frozen in opposite corners.
Staring over a checkered past.
Over a field of a burned-out dream....

                   Incendiary post:
                 Checkered past,
               Knocked up.
             Eager ears!
            Tell me more!
          Yodel across the valley...

        Soap box
      Platform.
    Lick more stamps!
  In conclusion, gossip
Travels lickety-split!

Checkered
A pattern like a checkerboard
Is one that I adore,
On clothing, bedding, even rugs
Or tiles upon a floor.

Though stripes and dots and plaid are nice,
I’m partial to the squares,
Especially in black and white;
Not one design compares.

Those little boxes neatly wrought 
To me are unsurpassed,
Except, of course, for someone
Who must hide a checkered past....
