Betty was not very tall
Her shoes seem to be small
She walked with a limp
Mistaken for a gimp
Or an excess of alcohol
Excessive gifts
serve to bless his
show of largesse.

one river ripple
coincidal consciences
Light lens shape of sense
physical death opens doors
leave excess baggage Earthside
Poor man's christmas,
table sans festivity
shortage of food
excess of tears
Turning back my head
And grey smoke rising straight up.
Who will speak for me?
Tonight I drink to excess;
I am young...any excuse.
I willingly pay a hard-earned fortune
just to lose excess
weight.
Many others have the misfortune
of having nothing
to eat.
Excess is as feast ~
a carefree leap past limits
makes the party soar
over that's nice enough bar
to show what a full thrill brings
Life is a struggle between excess and deficiency in search of equilibrium!

You live for pleasure, seeking more,
while happiness remains elusive.
Your heart is nourished with excess,
as in the gloomy day of slaughter.
A man
with excess of money
IS not exactly lucky...
But a wretch of fortune !
Or hazard...
with enormous aplomb
to agony and unhappiness...!
i can forgive
a big pot
of coffee for
overflow-
ing so long as
my cup keeps
running over to
keep me alert a-
bout the
situation.....
Take it less
You will want more
Take it in excess
it turns into poison
So tell your
Daughter in laws
To use it
In proper proportion,
once an old dude from texas
ate twelve tacos for breakfast
he ate some with cheese
he ate some with peas
then he got sick from excess.
There once was a woman named Pam
Who entertained men with her cam
She'd pose in her undies
On Thursdays and Sundays
And used up her excess of RAM..
No rambling is their best regard
Not boring to excess
Not saying ten words when three will do
Long writes do make me yawn-oh!

phrasing can...
free
excess words...
from a
mental reflection...
that frames
a summation of...
thoughts wrt
all senses at once...
stan sand
Bargain basement deals and freebies
Junk galore to fill any spare shelves
~ Soon clutter will win over

Autumn
Fallen leaves
Brown and golden
On the bare green earth,
Purged of summer's excess.
W.A. CHOLT. Copyright Fergal O Reilly. 2017.
This world work in excess,in intake and in make in excess,to enjoy comfort like on mattress,unless this world realize where to stop,it’s tough to feel enough!
Could blame stress
Nonetheless
Must confess
Took ingress
To excess
Now I feel
Brain in reel
Never heal!
Got to kneel
Food repeal

When you subsidize
my excess
You underwrite
my greed
Each payment made
my hunger craves
And gluttoned passion
— needs
(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)
in hills where buffaloes roam
i brew coffee and much foam
excess grounds water cold
bitter stale tastes too bold
grateful when my wife gets home.
The wind blew with howling excess
That lifted our pastor’s wife’s dress.
The flock saw her thong
And he hollered “wrong!”
Then lowered her skirt with finesse.
Heartburn and indigestion most unpleasant.
I knew better but ate it anyway.
Have only myself to blame.

Whole-body tingles
Get rid of excess jiggles
Wind flung snow on trees
