When weighty Wanda 
Discussed her dreadful diet 
She sarcastically said
Easy! I eat everything I eyeball...

Whilst the doctors discussed her fate
Her belly inflated with hate
Flat out on a gurney
For one final journey
From hospital food that she ate...

I was advised to see a therapist!
I went
We discussed my issues
A solution was found
The therapist joined my issue
We both saw another therapist!

Alluding To Colluding

To what they discussed were alluding,
That it could be concerning colluding;
Usual tricks,
Of politics;
Issue ended up avoiding and eluding.

Must Be Prepared To Propose

Always must be prepared to propose,
A plan to control water after it froze;
We discussed,
Control must;
Energy that exists in wind that blows.

Dingo hunter met Santa in the Australian outback
They discussed a possible new career path for him
Reindeer were nervous around dingo hunter’s horse
These animals are wild! Whispered Dancer....

The place of refuge for us old guys is the mall
Where topics of the day are discussed, big and small
Bout this and that
Harry's new hat
And whether or not Archie's toupee will fall...

Oh! Thus 
came the 
saddened 
breeze
Wrapped 
me in the 
feathers of 
unawares
How my 
helpless 
rationale 
bid to 
cease
At a time 
when 
gods and 
fairies 
discussed 
their 
affairs......

rumor should have stopped at our living room
not sure what happened
temporary insanity?
we discussed it
agreed to never share it with others
both lied apparently
came back to bite us in the haunches
served us right
knew better...

Beautiful, sleeping, head of a pig.
In the refrigerator erected
Like in a showcase.
It's being watched,
It is admired.
It is discussed by progressives
People.
But who will voice,
That this is a cast of pain,
And the eyes
Are not closed,
But squeezed shut....

The day I faced a peacock was the first day of the rest of my life.
We discussed politics, religion, and argued with all kinds of strife.
This peacock’s eyes narrowed, I could see by his beak he did not agree.
Without malice or gloating, I admit this did not bother me....

The new lion gentleman at court is a bit off
This is discussed by those whose dendrites think.
Not sure how the jester says with a cough
I catch his eye and give him an agreeing wink.
We know better than to make fun or scoff
For he could eat me faster than I can blink....

Buddha and Moses 
     had a conversation 
They discussed poetry 
     and politics 
  The debate continued 
long into the night 
Buddha liked to write in form - Moses didn't 
They are both gone from the earth now 
   But the world was changed by those two 
FOREVER!...

Some sages struggled and discussed
Protective ways to battle rust.
The answer came from every brain:
Do not leave iron in the rain!

Though some may scoff and will, I trust,
The scholars will remain nonplussed;
For simple wisdom we may gain
From words that rusty saws contain....

With my students I discussed the other day,
the famous line "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."
Then after the prayer, with which our school day closes,
I heard the headmaster ask, "Anyone know what happened to my roses?"
And giggling to myself, I thought, "No effing way!"

What dwells deep in my mind is "deedle dust"
Oh yes, scrape them off to remove the rust
You know, just the ones that I discussed
Try to shine them up, only if you must
Let's keep 'em here in our secret trust
There's no sense at all being rushed
Some wise humility always just seems just...

laughing out loud we stole the whole crowd,
afterwards we all gathered around, discussed
times that where down, and people that clowned,
most us had weighted frowns, except the unbound,
so it was decided to dance around, to the happiest sound,
that you make in your mind when you feel peace all around....

disrespected demons demanded
Des Moines delegates demolish D, a demi-god.
disgusted demoralized downy ducks
demoted demons, discussed by Danny Dod.
Des Moines demonstrators decreed demons delightful
while downing demi-tasse.
D, a demi-god, demoted demure ducks
during democratic demonstration, of Doss....

I watched in sheer amazement
At their lively repartee
Of such silent engagement
Discussed extensively.

Expressed in small hand gestures
And eloquent vivid signs,
Messages sent were sure
Relayed as they designed.

As mute and deaf speak
Broken are the barriers
We cannot call them weak
In life, they can hear better....

Now I lay me down, here goes.
The c-pap rests beneath my nose.
If I get strangled by my hose,
At the grave, read one of Poe’s.
If my wife begins to sweat,
And she seems not that upset,
Then please do as we discussed:
Lock my assets in a trust.
But if she dons sack cloth and ash,
Throw that c-pap in the trash!...

They discussed their friend in a secret way
She is cuckoo, looney tunes, said Gay
Zany, weird, unbalanced, said Gee Gee
How much stranger can she be?

Woman they were discussing heard their talk
She dropped them all with nary a squawk
Including her traitorous sister, Lula May Sue
I would have too, wouldn’t you?...

Le Cordon Bleu sommelier in the know
Discussed wine pairing with patrons aglow
"What does your order include?"
"Roast turducken frankenfood"
"Then I recommend a dry Portmanteau!"

My life in the past
is not one to be thought of
for it brings nothing but poison 
Too many things 
if discussed would cause
only despair and smoldering corrosion
I’d rather live in the here and now
embracing my new beginnings
To stay where it’s warm
no longer torn
freely capable to thrive and prosper

For my video visit by phone
Where my doctor’s and my face were shown
All my questions got asked
And we both sat, unmasked,
In the comfort of places well-known.

We discussed medications and such
Without blood work (of course, there’s no touch)
But my face on the screen
(Ugh! You know what I mean)
Was the part that I hated so much!...

I took ten dollars
From my mothers purse
As a child
To buy lollies
And the like
There was lots
Of money in that purse
A few days later
At the dinner table
My parents discussed
Where that ten 
Might have gone
They had all kinds
Of theories but
Never blamed us kids
That gnawed at my
Conscience
I never owned up
But never stole 
Again....
