Short Druthers Poems

Heidie, my dear....
Your "cockles" are,
in fact near...
Your "druthers"
Where they just may be,
Grey's Anatomy you
must see......

Some say I too easily dismiss
    the joy of smoking cannabis

  Still though my druthers say
    they prefer a long-lasting kiss...

written poems by sisters, brothers
always judged by someone’s druthers
never judged with hearts of mothers
judged by how one writes, no other’s...

It is only by helping others 
We can truly help one who bothers
About life and well been
Of each's need created being
To practicing our noble druthers...

Rashida Tlaib is quite the politician, we see
Professing to be so very sorry
   For putting her pro-Palestinian druthers
   Above her desire to visit her aging grandmother...

Freedom loves choice,
left and right or the middle way
all are paths to walk each day
Hum and ha and other druthers
are the price we pay
for sweet liberty....

Eggs, eggs, eggs, my favourite of all foods
Any way you serve em, I'm always in the mood
Haven't tried any others
From chickens have my druthers
It's the well-adjusted ones to which I allude...

I like My morning pancake's,
With swirls of maple syrup.
And sublime tasty butter,
slathered in circles.
If I have My druthers,
that's more than a little.
I like my morning pancake's,
warm off the griddle....

There's one thing that's certain, you must agree
This world's a great place to live, 'tween you and me
Tried a few others
So having druthers
By far, even with conflicts, beats drowning at sea!...

Charmed, stunned…
That’s what you did!
My eyes are all in your pictures.
It’s a stealthy feeling. 
“To play or be played”,
Both are my menacing games.
My druthers sound too high 
But I wind up lisping your name....

Haven't tried any others
But from chickens have my druthers
Especially the well-adjusted ones to which I allude...

Any way you serve em, I'm forever in the mood
Haven't tried any others

Any way you serve em, I'm forever in the mood
Haven't tried any others
But from chickens having my druthers

Every day she seemed to be the only one
using the clothes line in Mt. Druthers.
Maybe I am the only clean witch, she thought,
wondering about the others.
Other girls wash their clothes at night,
said Wizard Wayne, one of her observant brothers....

Rick, you got me once again;
I'm tired of feeling dumb.
Curse your mindless hyperlinks!
Kiss my big fat bum!

Rick, I'll never pass it on,
On this day or another.
Let the halfwits have their fun.
Let them have their druthers.

STILL GET THE ITCH

How come I'm gorgeous instead of rich
But if I had my druthers I still wouldn't switch
Certainly would choose handsome
Worth a mighty king's ransom
Happy in my skin but I still get the itch

rich???

Lord has blessed us life to serve 
Not to blow up in ashes and smoke
How can one help others and solace
When he himself needs stoke
Nor can bring any good for him
Neither of any worth for others
Being a black mole on the life
Becoming a burden losing all druthers...

My doctor once told me something
That had me visibly shaken
He said, "This is your medicine,"
"Which must be annually taken"

I said, "Doc, hold on a minute,"
"And understand my point of view"
"I'd like some I can take by mouth,"
"If it's all, just the same to you!"...

Things that matter. 

Not useless data. 

Unlest without your behest. 

Cooked up by the NSA. 

And the Mad Hatter. 

In the end all is just chatter. 

Trying not to shatter.

 Either by pity patter or splatter. 

If I had my druthers bruthas (and sistas). 

I'll take the latter. 

Organize or scatter....

A-im to touch every soul, 
V-igorously inspire others; 
I-ntensify your optimism, 
E-agerly use your druthers. 

A-llow your mind to learn 
L-essons from your error; 
M-iss not to understand 
E-very fruit of your labor. 
Y-ou never fail to help 
D-ay two of September; 
A-s you're sharp with your thoughts, you are one like no other....

Demonic claws clasp your mind..
Taking your soul, lust becomes your shrine..

A wanton lover without conviction..
A heathen's heart, on a sinful mission.

Hardened heart and careless druthers..
Forsaking mine, you yearn for another.

Torturing myself, I continue to deliberate why.
I may not ever know, will always be my enduring reply....

We have seasons 
         for many reasons
       But most of all
         because they're pleasing

       Not all of the people 
         all of the time
       But some of the people 
         some of the time 

       So, all of the people
         at one time or another
       At least part of the year
         ~ we get our druthers...

I still stand by my Feelings
That in terms of a Woman ascending to the Throne
There are Double-Dealings

When it comes to a Queen

There is much ado made of her Substance
By the Herds

There seems to be more Venom and Idiocy
Attributed to her Words 

Whether this be Sarah Palin Hillary or others

It seems they shall be Stupidized

If the Political Pundits had their Druthers...

Oh pretty pretty fruit cup
with all your pretty colors,
your fructose-rich flavors
ensnare all my druthers
Yellow is for peaches
and chunky pineapples
Opaque is for pears
And red is for the cherries
that nobody wants to share
Oh, I love to eat you with a spoon
You give me energy in late afternoon
You make my palate happy
I think I’ll eat another one of you
after I take a nappy...

He parades down the street
  to his own unique beat
Oblivious to others
  He'll have his druthers

Unabashed, strangers stare
  As if he could care
Some yell death threats
  He has yet to sweat

Who is this eccentric
And what is his crime
  By now have you guessed ~
  He's the last man with no mask
