I want Mo more Mo
Never get enough do I
She cranks my cranker...

What cranks my cranker every single morn
 Possessed by a demon who's holding my unicorn
Doesn't feel all that bad
In fact, I'm kinda glad
Have led a worry-free life since being born<>...

When this world cranks up the heat
When you’re not feeling flattered 
I will always remind you
There is nothing the matter 

I see more than your cover
I see the whole book 
You’ll never understand 
What I see when I look...

Negative People
Written: by Miracle Man

Nay-sayers and cranks populate my life,
they appear happiest when causing strife.
Griping and whining seems to be their dish,
and skipping my plate has become my wish.

Clanks,

blanks,

cranks,

clash!

Slams in tank,

detours irate!

Ingenious infiltrates,

sojourns knocking,

indignation on the plank,

plutocracy dank!

Dotards are prate,

iridescence is just as late-

prime meridian,

songs obsidian,

and the incandescence great!...

I’ve heard reviews on Amazon
Are very often fake.
I read them, though, to help
With some decisions I must make.

So first I read the positives
With 4- or 5-star ranks
And then I skim the ones submitted
By a bunch of cranks.

Of course, by now, I’m so confused
That nothing makes my cart,
Which proves that I’m an idiot
Or else I’m really smart....

There’s something to be said for shooting blanks
I get seven free tiles and my mind cranks
     The word I choose is “Skydive”
     Hoping to return alive
Just one of many wild-eyed pranks

Bucket list items have been on my mind
To lose at Scrabble games, I am resigned
     Soar with birds and feel so free
     But something’s approaching me
Scrabble police! When I land, I’ll be fined!

S-o much thanks from the heart
H-ave come to show gratitude; 
E-ach and every little thing
R-emains well and good.
W-ith so much thanks given, 
I-t's truly the moment of mirth; 
N-o words can ever express about the joy felt on earth.

Z-one of so much thanks
A-ims to bring harmony; 
U-sing the words of kindness
L-eading toward humility.
D-on't say twisted words, as heard from quips and cranks; 
A-llow yourself to abound in great and so much thanks....

Golf Cranks tried to see where his ball went on the course
The bird on his head was looking another way, his tweet hoarse
Which way did you flick it? His golf partners asked Cranks.
If I knew that it would be easier he said, not knowing their pranks.

They had given him a trick ball for his birthday, for fun.
It had disintegrated immediately as he started this run.
They finally confessed and had a laugh together too.
They are despicable friends said his golf caddie Bird Dew....

A well-water pump cranks out its iron-water
    crooked wire remains -- once, sturdy chicken coops
  The brackish, muddy area over there, the cowshed
    some withered trees dot the hills, bereft now of their fruit

  A few young lads herd goats, or perhaps they are living skeletons?
    cows with ribs exposed, horses with manes as limp as rags ...
  Some day they'll come again, the strong, determined youth
    to bale the hay, to turn the rocks over, to plow and seed relentlessly ......
