Premium Member World War Two Deniers

There are a couple who live in Fort Meyers
who are firm World War two deniers
They shout out the truth
It was filmed in Duluth!
Are they just dumb or a couple of liars

Premium Member Ruth the Soothsayer

Giant’s wife was angry Ruth
Thinks she is a super sleuth
Manners are usually uncouth
Some say she comes from Duluth

Ruth has a magic wisdom tooth
And the gift of a saysooth
When she speaks, it is the truth
Uh-oh, she’s sitting in the adjoining booth

Premium Member PEACE

May we learn from the peace bell that sits high atop a hill in Duluth, 
which holds inside it’s chimes and everlasting truth….

That people who, at first, do no get along
can also make amends
that individual friendships can promote understanding
and that enemies can become friends.

She's Just Like You

She's just like you,
She dances a jig on youtube.

She's just like you,
Servants in every room.

She's just like you.
She gets constipated too.

She's just like you,
Corporate mama in 
Red heeled shoes. 

She's just like you,
In a private jet over
Over duluth.

She's just like you,
A princess with a tower,
Like you.

Premium Member She Had Only One Tooth

And then she had only one tooth
         The rest had decayed, that’s the truth
Too much Christmas candy
No dentist was handy
         She lived all alone in Duluth

Of dentists, she was not a fan
         Guess that’s why she can’t find a man
One tooth has its perks
Just watch how it works
                  When she needs to open a can!

Premium Member Second Thoughts

A foolish, young man from Duluth
Spent all of his money on Ruth.
She's grateful of course.
He's filled with remorse,
And now must face up to the truth.

January bills are now due.
Year's taxes are coming up too,
Taxes and charged bills,
Most he head for hills?
Bills don't pay themselves it is true.

Premium Member Ice Hourglass

Duluth Warmbilt factory blanket
placed over his shoulders
after dinner cookie in lap
untasted
facing out the long
double-paned window
grinning hard
scaring the new hire
   A skull she thinks
waiting for it to melt
just enough
so the two-ton truck
  The crazy kids drove out
  onto the frozen lake
  stuck out there 
  all winter now
gets swallowed up.

Premium Member bragging boasting desserts

the desserts were bragging they had stolen my tooth
It was cake and ice cream, both hailed from Duluth
They were obscene, bragging with outrageous smiles
I wanted them to go away, at least a hundred miles

I knew they had taken other teeth from me too
I had lost several to cavities, and it made me blue
The desserts were boasting they had stolen from me
I wanted them to fall off the edge and end up in the sea

Premium Member Bob Dylan

A legendary entertainer known for his folk singin'
      Wrote the protest song, "The Times They Are A Changin'

     He was born in Duluth, Minnesota as Robert Zimmerman
Singer, songwriter, author, artist, what else? A renaissance man!

Premium Member A Tongue-In-Cheek Christmas Poem

'Twas the night before Christmas
On the village square.
Carolers were singing.
Everyone was there.

My daddy was a baritone
But his falsetto filled the air.
Mama shrunk his boxers;
They're not ready-to-wear.

He asked Santa for some new ones;
He didn't dare go bare.
So, on Christmas morning,
Santa left a spare.

Now daddy has a pair
That couldn't give a care.
He's back to singing bass
Thanks to his Duluth underwear.
