Trickster

We recently lost my Grandpa
It took a toll on my Grandma
	she took to the bottle
	an unstable waddle
tripped on him hiding – such chutzpah!

Chutzpah

*Chutzpah* Tom 4/17/2018 No one ever wants to assume any blame, But not being responsible is a character flaw. We’ll point at another or even call their name, And never show remorse for our chutzpah;

Men and Women Are Different

He knows he’s got to hide his nuts.
Each man who walks the planet sees
that though we labour, building huts,
we lack the chutzpah, such as these 
(let’s say ‘she’)
who just know
how to be:
just so-so:
not like me!

Happy Birthday Duque!

T oday is Duque’s Birthday.
H air is turning grey.
I ncontinence is threatening;
R est homes and decay.
T oday is Duque’s Birthday.
Y a Yas with Ya Yas
E ar hair and some nose hair.
I rrational chutzpah 
G out, bunions and arthritis.
H earing aids and blindness.

Robins

There is a collective revving of chutzpah and pluck. The flock takes flight. One robin jumps late, takes off alone behind the bunch. It struggles to catch up, then segues in mid-air, as if to say: ...k it. The bird lands alone on a bare branch. It doesn’t care; robins are not starlings.

Gramps' Foot Spa

ink-stained shirt pockets
full of old pens that don't write
grandpa taught me right

worn-out wallet bent
to the contours of his hip
sore with a disc slip

gramps is soldier's son
who's mighty scared of the gun
none else makes him run

but thanks to foot spa
restores a lot of chutzpah
shy toes of grandpa

Riches From Writing

No, you probably won't 
make it into the
    class of the millionaires
my friends
       Through your self expression
  Yet I believe you
should (as the late Eddie Birchmore said) step up to 
the mike and speak your peace
    Everyone may not 
like to hear what you 
have to say
    But have a liitle chutzpah(Yiddish for "nerve")

Bizarre


Walking through streets, I saw 
A young boy tattooed, wearing jeans torn in places,
Such chutzpah! 

Hair coloured blue,
He was bald in between spaces,
What hue!

He smiled,
Wearing braces 
Wild!

Walking through streets, I saw,
He was bald in between spaces,
Wild!

Gumption

Listen to poem:
The assumption with gumption
is that its meant for
general consumption.
But like a spice
it should be used sparingly,
for that which spurs us on to dare and dream,
It takes chutzpah, bravery and temerity
to be willing to take on
the necessary risks entailed
with audacity, guts and tenacity.
Its gumption consumption, 
without interruption,
that gets the job done.

Unbroken Rules

I’ll bet that you will never see
A follower of rules like me.

While others speed as lights turn red,
I’ll brake and sit and wait instead.

I will not sample grape or gummy;
Only paid food hits my tummy.

Never will I cut a line;
Like all wusses, I’ve no spine.

Chutzpah is a trait I lack;
Nervousness is more my knack.

Rules are made for fools like me,
A modern-day anomaly.

No,you probably won't 
make if into the class of the millionares, my friends
    Through your self expression
   Yet I believe you should(as the late Eddie Birchmore said)
step up to the mike and speak 
your poetic messsage
  Everyone may not like what you have to say
      But have a little chutzpah
and when you're 
finished 
you can go to Middle Earth or Shangri-La 
for a vacation

Multinational

If it takes a dollop of Dutch courage to French kiss an English rose would it make a lily-livered Indian giver look down his nose but with Yiddish chutzpah as a Spanish fly on the wall and luck o' the Irish you could Australian crawl and yet the Chinese fire drill it's still a safe bet and a Mexican standoff are not Russian roulette but who'd deliberately open the door for a Portuguese man o' war

Kvetching

If all your basic needs are met,
Your bills are paid, no cause to fret,
Whatever food you want, you’ll get – 
It’s then you can be kvetching.

For if you have no place to sleep
And hunger makes you want to weep,
The only thoughts your mind can keep
Might deal with budget stretching.

It takes some chutzpah to complain
When others’ lives are filled with pain,
Yet human nature can’t refrain
From some entitled retching.

Robins

There is a collective revving
of chutzpah and pluck.
It's known, it's time,
bird-brains do not ask.

The flock takes flight.
One robin jumps late,
takes off alone.
It has an instinctual drive,
it should have left
with the others.
However, birds don't know -

regret.

It struggles to catch up,
then segues in mid-air,
as if to say: 

fork it.

The robin lands alone
on a bare branch.
It doesn’t care anymore.

Robins are not starlings.

        Ridiculous, so, inhumane and grossly unfair!
        Does a Trans-sexual think he has special flair?

        Invading swimming pools like humongous whales?
        Ensuring,that female swimming competitions fail?
    
        These are things,not a poem had the chutzpah to addres
        I fnd such topics should neither be hidden nor suppressed!

Site Under Maintenance

On a cozy morning, with flying chutzpah, I sat before the door step of poetry knowing behind it there lies an ocean, where Bards and Keats and Shakespeares in disguise, swimming in vivid colors and I knocked the door with a pusillanimous heart, eyeing for their bit of beatitude. But,

my knocks are returned
panacea glimmered far -
