Silken envelope of non-verbal nuance… curt rebuff or 
sly nod!...

one gangly gray strand
weed killer plucks his curt brows

It’s the spurt of a wrong blurt,
It’s the curt that cuts to hurt,
It’s a mirth that not of worth....

His verse was terse
‘twas a pithy pity
his purse was worse
couldn’t sell a ditty.

Curt and Rod were just hanging around..
For they were known as tightwads..
Girls passed on by without a sound.
They stole some money and tripped over a bipod.
Being chased by Clod!...

A lazy student known as Burt, 
To parents and teachers was curt.
        With little knowledge,
        Flunked out of college;
Played stock market and lost his shirt!

To win
Begin
With grin

Conceal 
Appeal 
For zeal

If must
You lust
First trust

Won’t hurt 
Be curt
With flirt

Then kiss
Don’t miss
Such bliss

This is your Captain speaking,
Captain James Curt, of USS Enterprise --

Prometheus, 
Steal fire from the Gods, and
We shall take this touch and
Build a ship, taking us to brand new worlds...

RUDE BERT

There was once a man called Bert
Whose feelings of others he hurt
There were those who ignored
Others who on him deplored
That he curb his need to be curt

On Alexa for facts I do rely

   But seldom do I get a straight reply

      When requests to her I call

         She pays little heed at all

            Her curt response is: "Git lost!  Now goodbye!"...

the shielded thought,
the curt retort,
old lovers thought of why?
fantasy of mind is really naught,
but ghosts from bye n by,
the stimulating sort,
a mans remembered,
sly....

i'm a man i know these things...

In the early 70’s I went on a spiritual quest…
To find God.
After a month in the Himalayas 
A case of some gastro…whatever
The loss of 25 pounds
I returned home
My mentor asked me
“did you find Him?”
I responded with a curt “NO!”
He replied:
“Maybe because you didn’t bring him with you.”

Penelope has the look of haughty
I doubt she could ever be naughty
She has a trained rat
That once ate a cat
Truly I am just being snotty

Penelope has ways that are distinct
Her wordage is curt and succinct
Her rat will gnaw your face
A simple disgrace
Neither thinks their feces doth stink...

Bert was the head convent
An arrogant cocky little squirt
His belligerent feelings were often hurt
Because he was rude and often curt.

His wife was tidy, neat and pert.
Her talent was ironing his favorite blue shirt.
About them both we liked to blurt
For they were rather awful, Mert and Bert....

You can make upside down cake with peaches! Wow!
I love the idea, said my snippy curt neighbor, Mrs. McDow.
That woman never has an original thought said my chow.
Sammy is not a normal dog, he does not do bow wow.
His wisdom is astonishing, his intelligence high-brow.
I was amazed that he knew so well old Mrs. McDow...

The Cast of the Dukes of Hazzard

By Elton Camp

Daisy is sure a cutie
Enos acts too fruity

Cooter’s full of dirt
Jesse’s way too curt

Bo is too full of self
Luke to reason’s deaf

Coltrane is too weak
Too much of a sneak

General Lee, you see,
Is too orange for me

Boss Hogg’s the star
Greed’ll take him far...

Unbeknownst to them I am their wild child,
what a precious smile she’s a pussycat;
Lecherous phrases on iron they were filed,
unbeknownst to them I am their wild child;
Calculated and curt is how I’m styled,
silk hat graffitied with the word ‘Hazmat’.
Unbeknownst to them I am their wild child,
what a precious smile she’s a pussycat....

A Perishing Soul

Warrior fell with desperate woe 
  pride wounded or innocent hurt
  missed the play but never the show 
Warrior fell with desperate woe
  dying quickly he does not know
  prayers offered but so very curt 
Warrior fell with desperate woe
  pride wounded or innocent hurt

I started a quest,
and finally sent u a request.
I found request confirmation,
and then started the real hesitation.
but still I commenced to flirt,
on my surprise, replies weren't curt.
But then,
I knowingly stepped into a sudden silence,
unexpectedly u broke that silence.
everything was moving smooth again,
NO, I was in love, but in vain....

Picture This

Your body contains eight hundred
Trillion trillion Carbon  atoms.
And that’s not just 
Hyperbolic hype! 

What is even more astounding is…
That one in eight of those carbon atoms
Recently was expelled as pollution
From a smokestack or exhaust pipe!

(adapted from the book “YOUR ATOMIC SELF” by Curt Stager)

Love at first sight, I find
didn't work for me.
Maybe I'm a different kind.
Felt views were free
Did she?

No, I don't want to blame
for dreadful act.
I never expected the same.
Didn't assess tact
That's fact.

I thought you were the one
for me; got hurt;
realized nothing can be done.
Heard talks so curt,
your blurt.

A turkey was being plucked and it hurt
He was in pain and his fowl words were curt
He pecked at the plucker
Said “sing for your supper”
And then ran for his life overexert.

Now the turkey's in the altogether 
He is feeling lighter than a feather 
He's thankful to be here 
And for losing his gear 
All he is wanting now is fine weather....

I know not who I am
I know I'm a veteran

I know not what I can do
I know words can challenge you

I know not if my words are expressive
I know my words are not expensive

I know not if my words are curt
I know that there not written to hurt

I know not if my work is liked
I know I won't be psyched 

I know my words help me
Brought my life to infinity...

Anchor me here in your harbor of hurt.
Say you're in love with me, but please make it curt.
The water is shallow the people are too.
In the very beginning it was just me and you.
My heart is half empty and there's no one to blame.
I did it all myself, in this self destructive game.
So as I lay dying here on the floor.
Do whatever you want just don't close the door....
