Drat! out of filters......

favorite veggie is off
the market.  oh drat!

Drat!
To the obscuring daylight,
That buries the stars;
Devalues the character of the moon;
And most of all,
Blinds my eyes,
To the essence of your candlelight beauty.
Drat, I say.
Drat!...

A shortage of bacon reserves
Has Willie, pork lover, in nerves
Willie says drat
Without pig fat
I just might lose all my curves

(based on the fake news “Bacon Reserve Shortage in the USA”)...

Again, I felt it skip a beat;
the heart goes pitty-pat.
It seems I am dehydrated;
I can’t imagine that.
If you don’t mind, I think I’ll pass;
I cannot down another glass
until I first excrete....

Max was ecstatic about his new acquisition--
A statuesque blonde in perfect condition.
He was sure she was wildly erotic 
He fantasied love-making exotic.
Drat! She knew only the missionary position....

I love the colors seen in fall
Ground's wrapped up in a leafy shawl
Drat! I must rake those fallen leaves
Wild winds are whistling in the eaves
My preferred season of them all...

A cowlick springs up
  right when it shouldn't
Can a comb strike it down
  I'm afraid it couldn't

An application of grease
  looks to keep the peace
'Til - drat - it springs up again
  ~ I think you know when...

Drat! My yoga teacher is late again
I can’t hold on
much longer...

Despondent
we felt
doing deeds
donned by illusions of necessity.

Drat
we thought
disowning our dignity
drowning our dignity
driving our dignity
down into delusions of
dominance.

Do-di-do-do
we knew
when spontaneously
life came to the streets 

and we did 
what we 
know how to do....

Drat, my trousers are tight!
Damned uncomfortable -
Darned zipper won't go up.
Donuts don’t help I guess!
Do I continue to
Delude myself and ask
Don't clothes shrink in the wash?

DRAT THAT DROUGHT

Relinquish water's recipe and rain from sky.
All rain dances done left California dry. 
Ignited fires baked us like a Scottish mutton pie.
Now let us wash it down with RAIN and not with rye.

Deer crossing
Pulse quickens
There's one now
Drat it. Wasn't ready...

Deep breath
Good...Exhale
Again...Ready?
Ready!  
Where are they?
Tension builds
Dang. Had to hiccup
Timing is everything 

OK. Deep breath again
The old familiar drill
Hands are clammy
Settle down
Can't miss another chance
Steady now
Here come two
Pause
Aim 
Shoot!
Got 'em!
Perfect photo!...

watching Nascar and petting the cat
eating Chee-tohs and getting fat
zero to zero in nothing flat

listen to the blue jay singing scat
while putting a diaper on the brat
zero to zero in nothing flat

Got to go to work, double drat
I wore my coat, but forgot my hat
zero to zero in nothing flat

I don't understand life, imagine that
it's like playing baseball without a bat
zero to zero in nothing flat...

One Snowflake falls
                   Then follows all
      Drifts blow and grow
                          Wallowing kids
                      Tomorrow skids
               Next day a tow
                           Borrow warm hat
                      Sore elbows drat
                   Ice skating woes

Woofter
A woofter is a fella
Dressed like a shiela in drag
The woofter don’t know if
He’s the shaggee or the shagg

The shiela gets born into a boys body, drat,
So she’s out there chasing fellas 
but she can’ find where they at…

so Joe comes on to you and you back up to the wall
keep them shirt lifters away from me 
don’t sound like any fun at all

so are you are a male wanting to be female,
or viccy verka

Sleep I can’t feign. I hear the falling rain
tapping a refrain on the window pane.
My throbbing pain recedes and I obtain
relief from the migraine which had free reign
like a freight train, a cause for mental strain.
Drat the champagne! Don’t blame the quiche Lorraine.

I'm fed up with the trolling
  I know what I will do
Now that I am outraged
  I'll insert the screw...

Hey! Maybe wait a minute
  I'm acting way too rash
Revenge is not productive
  Why respond to utter trash...

Yet! Trolls deserve an answer
  though I'm no cop in blue
Perhaps there is no choice
  But to insert that screw... 

Drat! I confess I'm chicken
  My feathers surely show
No one ever taught me
  To say that one word ~ 'No!'...

Oh where’s my hat?
It flew off! drat!
Put it on my head
Next I did dread
It’s off in the air
My 20 dollar sphere
Oh it’s pretty rough
My hair’s sticking up
My hat, the perfect accessory 
For a misplaced comb, occasionally 
I’d easily put it on and run 
Out of my home I’d quickly go
Oh I miss my hat
Do you know that?
But now I use a hood instead
Because it’s securely connect-ed
So there’s no risk of it flying away
Like my hat did on that windy day
