A fork in the road
Forcing the weary old monk 
To then decline both...
And marvelling how his feet
Ignore imponderables.

              the absolute was made out of nothing
                 of the inexplicable unknown ...

Closer to the end of times
That I once called mine:
Now all shall follow the sign,
As we all further decline.

I lie alone
A bed of stone
My skin's on fire
So I can't sleep
Your eyes fill mine
In sweet decline
The dream's a liar
A lie I'll keep.

That parrots grow saucy with wine.

He drove it to drink, 
The source of its moral decline.

Borrowed Time

We spend our time on wasted days
And cheaply sell our souls for ways
To cheat the forms of our decline
And stretch the skein of borrowed time

Sleepy in decline
Drowsy moves define
Plunging form aligns

Premium Member Lyin' Tamer

She was called the Lyin’ Tamer.
Absurdity would enflame her.
	She could spot a line
	way back from foot nine.
She’d decline and who could blame her?

A possum of high degree

for snails and tea.

I would, of course, politely decline
to find another place to dine.
I like my snails with wine.

Love Is a Roller-Coaster Ride

love is a roller-coaster ride,
ups, downs and sideways,
hanging on for dear life,
feeling on top of the world,
exhilaration at the acme,
de-sizzling on the decline

              she went down the slope
               her mind in rapid decline

Katherine the Great

Katherine the Great
Was fashionably late
In the parlor were chairs to recline

Each year she got greater
So of course she got later
And now all her “good friends” decline

Happiness Is a Warm Gun

There was a young Texan wife from Klein, 
Whose husband was on a deep decline. 
He drank too much whiskey, 
He seldom was frisky - 
Now he’s planted where the sun don’t shine.

Plane

Part of me hugs the air for travel
Let's with gravel claim a cloud-
Aim'd I to hook our love to the sky
Neutral she dissolves truth of amore reign
Ever now our waves decline a meet

Who Is Running the White House


   If you have ever seen someone with mental decline,
you know damn well they could not run the free world.
Who then is the one that doesn't want to be known?
But somebody knows.
