I Lost Myself Somewhere Along This Crooked Line

that greets you on
    sunday
when
    you
are at your

Break out with such elegant style?
Subtle flaws modeled graceful and true

laments it place on top

Mourning

Empty lockets
dangle softly
from crooked necks--

dappled granite
faces west
where the sun sleeps--

whispered prayers
linger quietly
as a child weeps.

The crooked lawyer was disbarred
When the case he worked on was charred
He sunked so low
When hit with a large blow
Then pulled out his latest trick card

Trump reminds me of so many saws,
With crooked teeth that have flaws;
Is a total pest,
Like all the rest;
He even shot and killed Santa Claus.

Pervoked and Croaked By Trump

Provoked and Croaked

Elegant words from mouth of Trump evoked;
Even those complacent became provoked;
No denying;
He was spying,
And what we wish is that he had crooked.

Premium Member could not admit she was a witch

she did her best to pretend she was not a witch
She took a job digging bricks out of a ditch
Her seams were crooked, but she continued to stitch
For she was not about to admit she was a witch.
