What’s a ‘timeless classic’
   or a ‘taste of Heaven'
A ‘fabulous play’
   a ‘real field day’…

What’s the ‘meaning’ 
   of ‘meaningful’
Who needs it, anyway
As I lie here beside you
   all else fades away...

Who told you to come 
or to shake your rump? 
  
Not me, I'm just over 
here, drinking some punch. 
  
It's safe to assume you've 
got some things to say 
  
Well, I'm deaf, so 
have a field day. 
  
My harem is full, sorry. 
Maybe I could use you at the mortuary....

"Libel!" was screamed in a most undignified way
Not realizing that truth was always on display
Know that when bullied, this gal has a field day
You'll never be able to harass or make her prey

(in honor of 3 days of someone attempting a lawsuit threat - 'tis a non-issue now)...

Time to have fun and play!
Time to compete and race!
Your hearts pounding!
You are sweating like crazy!
You move left, right, then back!
Try to get the ball to the team, try to make the goal!
Throw left or right.
Enemy team is not letting up!
Their all over you!
You try and try, but they wont back off!...

MacBeth's favorite meal was eating beef,
so when Scotland opened a McDonald's
he jumped with glee,
eating big macs and greasy fries everyday,
his bad cholesterol and clogged arteries had quite a field day,
eating an apple a day and visiting doctors didn't help,
till he finally succumbed one day to his MacDeath....

Some polar bears went on display
and cheeky folks had a field day
They made it their mission
and changed the position
to polar bears having a lay!

Inspired by the photograph from a display at Tynwald Mills Isle of Man! Thanks to my wonderful friend Chris for sending it to me!

M-ake it a field day, 
E-njoy the circumstance; 
R-ejoice with everybody, 
C-all the old and
Y-oung ones.

N-ice and delightful moment
O-f fun, joy and cheer; 
T-wenty-fifth morn in July, 
A-llow the haze to disappear.
R-emember your birth, 
T-aking the silence away; 
E-xperience the mirth, make it a field day....

Jack be nimble 
Jack be quick
But Tom's slowing him down
Too much laughter makes him sick

Jack is collecting himself
Up off of the floor
Tom's going to have a field day with this
And just write more

Two talented men
Making all of us smile
I'll never catch up
Or have their style

PoetrySoup 
Is where you will see
All the best poets
As these two have come to be...

Love will be with you tomorrow 
All your hardships will swallow 
A better day will follow 
No more sorrows 
How wonderful it is 
The future will come with a bliss
It’s God giving you a hug and kiss 
All your worries are now dismissed 
Knowing everything will be okay 
The skies are no longer gray
You will now have a field day 
On the beautiful meadow 
For a better tomorrow
That is here to stay...

A floundering economy has given way to ingeniuos ideas
on how to make a buck,

Extortion rings are springing up all over the place taking control
of fortunes in clever ways,

Blackmail and accusations have become trendy ploys to bring down the ole boys' 
network, leaving powerful men looking like uncouth jerks,

Many will pay top dollar for the lewd and crude accusations to go away,

giving vultures the clearance to have a "field day"....

In search of a missing clock
he went to the city of a fake encounter.
It was irrelevant to find
the lost tunnel.

There was no street without a rustle.
The sap of tall trees had bloomed
into jaws of death.
He stepped on a land mine
and blew himself
to reach the truth.

And his gift was an
apostate of me.
The tenth day moon will
celebrate my becoming nobody.

The rivals will have
a field day
dancing on my shroud.

Soul consume with rage my life fading away.
heart aching with pain so the law I can never obey.
That's right me and the Devil is on the same page.
Yes. I am a real life sage I manifest words from my rib cage.
Needed God help but yet I still couldn't pray.
Now my heart is cold and gray as my bones shatter and decay.
Pain increasing with my soul God and The Devil is just having a field day.
I am burning in hell but my memories the devil can never take away....

A mental mind freak,
Or just your every day,
Run of the mill nut bar,
If you prefer.
Eloquently presented,
But not really.
Unless bat crap crazy
Dressed up as a pretty girl,
Is your cup of tea.
Making friends with the blade too much,
Making enemies with food even more.
Puff puff,
And there’s a pretty little smoke ring
From one of many chain smoked cigarettes.
Crazy you say?
Nope, most certainly not.
I’m just a bloody field day
For every one of those Freud wannabes....
