   Took thirty minutes to train

Premium Member Civilization Down the Drain

In WW2 Sweden sheltered
    Jews in desperate need

  Today Swedes burn a Torah scroll
     a brutish, dastardly deed

Guilt

"Tears running down the drain pretending its rain standing under a shower of shame burning up cause it’s hot and I am still ashamed."

Premium Member Tasmanian Rain

So, Tasmanian Rain
Don't fall on the plane.
It's four-eighty in cash.
If you want a hot bath.
That's lost down the drain.
Gone Madly Insane.

Beware Her Spell

With roots in hell,
beware her spell.
Poison to sell,
keeping you well.

Masking the pain,
in no way sane.
Frying the brain,
life down the drain.

a cry of desolation  
down the drain feline

Down the Drain

Down the drain,
Like unending rain,
Bringer of much too much,
Unending pain...

Who's responsible?
I don't know...
But down the drain,
I see it go.

Silver Lining

We prayed to evade Delta Strain
God dumped on us buckets of rain
Trump spoke to the sky:
"There's no need to cry
My tax returns washed down the drain!"

Shower Thought

As I stand below the waters
That rain down from above;
I am reborn.
And as they wash over;
The best of me 
Swirls down the drain,
And is forever
Lost.

Premium Member You Can Bank On It

Another bank going down the drain,

You may laugh, I don't think it's funny.

They tell us all we're not to worry,

But what's happened to all my money?

Premium Member Reluctant Plumbers

Plumbers refuse to make a return visit.
After Medusa washes her hair out well.
Too many eager snake eyes watching them.
Down the drain where monsters dwell.

An Easter Bunny

There once was an Easter Bunny
Who only came out when it's sunny
When it started to rain
Eggs went down the drain
And the kids didn't think it was funny.

Sound of the Rain

Oh I do love the sound of the rain
As it trickles on down the drain
The ground gets boggy
And my socks might be soggy
But it's something I just can't explain.

Premium Member Life Changes

happiness to sadness
love to hate
security to doubt
everything you've worked
for just down the drain
because someone
makes you second guess
yourself everyday

Chocolate

A tiny smear 
as wrapper opens
will power 
down the drain
silken smoothness
chocolate silk
dark as thunder
smooth as glass
slides down throat
with velvet delight

YUK

Washing hands was a bit of a pain
It seemed hygiene had gone down the drain
In this primitive scene
They just didn’t feel clean
So I went home and washed them again
Form: Limerick

Past Fade Away

In my mind I thought the past would fade.

But it still stings my sould like a blade.

I wish I could let the pain go down the drain.

But I cant and everything remains the same.

Poor Little Sock

Poor little sock left out in the rain
It's hard to believe you feel no pain
You once warmed someone's feet
But now you just lay flat in the street
I hope you don't go down the drain.

Premium Member Let Your Sins Runs Down the Drain-

Take your sins to the basin; Take them to the sink of Christ; So He'll wash them away; So your sins run down the drain;

Premium Member Single

Don't leave me alone
i'm full of doubts
I always make the wrong
decisions and throw my
life down the drain
Pain always wins over love
that's why i stay single
what might have been
will never be

Oops

Oops, I recalled your face,
Ashen and wan;
You were petrified,
Shocked with drumbeat hearts.

'Goosh,' it sounded
as it slipped out
of your grab.
Down the drain it went,
Into the hall of shame.

Premium Member Addict's Anthem

        
	      Marijuana came around
              LSD went to town

                Cocaine in his brain
                His life down the drain

                   Hashish to ease the pain

Premium Member Runaway Train

An outdoor wedding, no sign of rain
The bride’s gown had a 10-foot train
     Crossing the lawn to her bequeathed
     Fido snatched the train in his teeth
And Pop watched eight grand go down the drain
