Short Comedies Poems

Yes, I watch TV,

                                      the dramas and comedies.

                                         Commercials bore me....

Never watch any comedies
while recovering from surgery
because you can laugh your stitches out literally
which will be not only painful but also very bloody.
This is one of those situations when laughter can be deadly,
as opposed to hightening one's spirits joyfully....

The world unfolded,
  life opened the curtains...
So we live on stage
of the universe...
With our strides or slow
both certainty and uncertainty
we live representing ourselves
acting in the tragedies
or in everyday comedies...
We are authors of life
and actors... !...

Awesome armies
the kings  very  own 
We came here despite singing over burgles
Dustmen under contract
Lilies lay bleeding in black bags
We are still whistling
Chickens languishing in street
Actresses older than thought
give commandeering comedies
Tis the talk of the town
cuckold husbands straddling 
the saddle of despair...

phantoms perform comedies 
the moon and stars display lights ---
bluish-white night sky 

owls play wry witches
black cats and bats bring crisis ---
glow worms scripts in catharsis

winds and weather rebelling
dark clouds tale-bearing
the night sways in sleeplessness

Adult choosing a thousand roles,
In all the roles sizable holes…
His official first Name was Dole;
In anger dropped for Mr. Mole,,
Because another Mister Dole
Had failed in a conducted poll…

His previous celebrated goal
In a stable keeping a foal;
To other targets tagging ‘Sole’
But last year for Christ won A Soul,
His Bishop’s Staff a pole;
His thanksgiving in bowl…

A Clearly Confused Man:
Comedies you won’t ban!...

I am a sucker for
musical comedies, musical chairs,
and decorated music boxes.

I am a sucker for
baby oil, baby blankets, homemade
baby booties, and babies.

I am a sucker for glitter,
glitziness, and glitter glue.

I am a sucker for shiny things
Shiny bumpers, shiny windows, 
shiny lakes, shiny snow, and shiny stars

I am a sucker for games
Monopoly, Cadoo, Life, Chess, 
Uno, Old Maid.

I guess I am just a sucker....

Back in black.
Don't know jack.
Movies more movies.
Shark attack in 3D.
Back attack, old age.
Over the hill, not.
Lots of snot, zombie rot.
Day of the zombies, zombie on.

Vampire movies in; Aliens too.
Comedies, dramadies and Westerns ,too.
Life is a movie. Make a home movie, bar scene.
Take two, have a whiskey or soda.
Whiskey, soda.  Social drinker, casual.
Another sequel, sequence, sequin.
Someone , somewhere.
New and improved, that's the biz.
Sequester.  Court jester....

Listen to poem:

Monday is a coming day
right for crying with dismay
for the pain that surrounds
another grind till week’s end

the breadth of work to be endured
matters less than madness found
the comedies compete for time
against the tragedies of the mind

the many goals bang about
conflicting with each ego’s wish
an end result may yet appear
while trepidation turns to fear

priorities becoming mixed
when the plans dance about
the tears will flow as a result
as the week begins again....
