Apples and grapes of upper lands

King fruits and Star fruits in our hands 
Monkeys and Donkeys to refer


Premium Member Breaking News: He Will Go Away

The Democrats in disarray 
Say Old Joe will go away
And socialism is at stake,
But can Kamala bake the cake
To make the braying donkeys stay?

Premium Member I Use Candy As My Excuse

they give us candy
and then expect us to behave
I use their idiocy as an excuse for my actions
people who know me laugh like donkeys
knowing better

The Milkman and His Mistress

The farmer's wife and milkman  played seesaw
Their sighs weren't  heard as two donkeys brayed  He-Haw

Surprise

donkeys carry Africa
fingers cultivate Africa
stick men educate Africa

Premium Member A Giraffe In a Space Rocket

I took a donkey 
Over the border from 
Nepal into India
In Calcutta 
I had tea
When the hotel
Proprietor after checking out
Asked; me 'Any tips?'
I misunderstood & said
'No need.'

Miles High

South-paw slug
Undermining my mischief 
clouded people
walking lonely bare
drawing cartoons dancing 
unicorns whistle away
WAR-MONGERING white-out
little part donkeys 
crying to the moon

The White Devil

my soul
like to a ship in a black storm
is driven, I know not whither

acted to the souls of donkeys
in a Winter night of smoke
Viola Tree and Cedric Hardwicke
still undamaged the glass of revenge

Premium Member He Gives his 'Goodest' Yet

     Some say an elephant never forgets
     With his trunk, he gives as good as he gets
         But Dems don’t mean Trump
         They think he’s a chump
     Donkeys mean Biden gives his ‘goodest’ yet

Almost

ALMOST


Early afternoon shadows meridional 
Not quite minimal
The heat not quite maximal
Donkeys not yet in shade as usual
Flowers not quite wilting and dismal
We sit hand in hand  - two equal
Not quite yet one and eternal

The Miles I Trekked

To see your face

I crossed seven seas
    and
    Killed   
        dodging donkeys   

       I slit open several cobras
In the forest of fright
      Sagged at the last step 
 For the miles
           I trekked defile Kilometres.

Premium Member Blind Donkeys Keep Kicking

   The party of the hee-haw would now impeach Mr. Trump
     for denying the world’s arch-enemy, a madman, access to the bomb

   It takes a blind donkey to kick the hand that redeems it 
     and now the rest of the two-legged world sees it

Premium Member The Goofballs Three

The sage confronted the goofballs, three - 

"How dare you donkeys challenge me?
My credentials are unquestioned, twits. 
So, scatter forth, boneheads, nitwits."

"Your qualifications are indeed top drawer.  
We numskulls are looking for number four."

Premium Member I Listen to What I Choose

     given my unconventional views
        I listen to what I choose

     donkeys braying, horses neighing
         they’ve really got me swaying  

     to their thunderous declarations of dissonance
         ~ compared to 'the news,’ what’s the difference

Africa Acrostic

AFRICA

Animals you wouldn’t want in your bathtub
Frighten the tour guides more than the tourists
Runaway donkeys slow down traffic
Intricate methods of bribery placate government officials
Citizens double the price to white faces
Adoring children make it possible to overlook the impossible
