What Has Happened To Our Shows

Alcohol, drugs, and lies
   some of them die
   slaves to the stage
   fans filled with rage
   our favorites just say goodbye

Light Or Chains

Truth shows no favorites,
  all lies judged the same

Freedom or prison
 —its light or its chains

Favor of God After American Abuse

Fighting apartheid, hating privilege:
Having "favorites" (?) - thus hating Favor
Until Jesus THE WORD showed me
Anoints His children, any color

Premium Member Playing Favorites

I whisper 
To my grandchildren;
“you are my favorite”
“don’t tell the others”.
They chuckle
knowing it is true.

Premium Member Will Surprise

She inherited the old farm house
why in the world was it her?
She’d never liked those people
Uninterested parents
had other favorites
never liked her
surprising
crazy

Premium Member FAVORITES

May we be blessed to understand
there is a treasured gift in life that doesn’t cost a dime.
This gift is as wonderful to give…as it is to receive.
This precious gift…is time.

Shoe Survey

I scanned all my shoes with my eyes

What I concluded was no big surprise

        As I recall

        It was me brought them all

They're all my favorites and they're all my size.

It's amazing the things
You let your kids do
When they are #3 & #2.

The things you won't let
#1 get
Away with 
When they pitch a fit.

#1 
is jealous
That you 
"play favorites."

Impartial Marshall

When I was pulled over by a marshal
Had wanted him to be impartial
Never favorites ever playing
Always kind words saying
Before he steeped on my metatarsal.

Combat Boots

I used to love my combat boots.
In O.D. green I felt grassroots.
Sporty shorts and long straight hair
Any whistle got my glare.
My favorites, now, are boots’ offshoots!

Premium Member The Boss Likes Who He Likes

Boss
Likes
Women
Older ones
Are not his favorites
He advocates beauty and youth
If you are looking for a job better keep moving,
Everyone here just got out of college, it is their first job, and we are a big mess.

Premium Member Favorites

Sitting stoically
Two furry faces
Gaze upon faded photos.
Once cherished,
Hugged, wept over,
Drooled on
Forever friends
Now
Silent sentinels
Chewed ears
Button eye
Pablum stained
Guardians
Of a fading
Moment.

Premium Member Time has no conscience

Time has no conscience
Plays no favorites
Sets the same metronomic tone
For everyone
It doesn’t drag
Nor does it wait
It cannot be saved
Or lost
It just is
For it is cursed
                        To be timeless

You Are

You Are 
      A cup of honey lemon tea
      A slice of blueberry cheesecake
      The claw machine in the arcade
      An orange-red sunset by the sea
      The Moon after a rainy night

All my favorites combined. ??

Premium Member adverbs are my favorites

adverbs dress up ordinary verbs
easily, quickly, confidently,
jokingly, suspiciously, cagily,
demurely, purely, delicately,
deliberately, justifiably, undeniably,
jubilantly, whimsically flippantly
they may be my favorite parts of speech

Premium Member Frustration's Obligatory Expectations

The Only Way
To Enjoy Everything
Is To Not Like Anything.

Stop Playing Favorites,
And Wanting All You
Can't Even Have...

Be Happy Having
EVERYTHING

That.
That Real Thing.

It's For You.

The Color of Purple

it's bold, breaking, and new
answers to no one 
distinct, dark, and profound
being among my favorites
like grape juice
it's not easily forgotten
never totally out of it
stylish, unique, and classy
don't be fooled by this color
the color of purple

Death

Death has no favorites
Neither has he any friends.
Mother's crying as their babies dying
Doesn't it scare you?
So cold, so lonely yet so peaceful,
The darkness draws near as the angels sigh.
Heaven awaits and hell stands by,
Father hear me!
As we lay down to die.

Premium Member National Nut Day Cracks Me Up

National Nut Day is Oct twenty-two.

   My favorites are almond and cashew.

      But all nuts don't grow on trees.

         Two nuts who are really sleaze,

            Are Trump and Clinton, both cracked, in my view!
