He was hit with a healthy fine
That drove him out of his mind
He attacked the clerk
Who called him a jerk
Then assumed that everything was fine...

There once was a bully named Mean.
I am kidding, his name was McQueen.
He took classmates’ lunches,
And slapped them in bunches,
Until he was fined by the queen....

There is an old lady from Morocco,
Who cries whenever she smells tobacco,
She sued her neighbour,
Fined three weeks labour,
She sleeps with a lamp beside, called Jack-O.

After guzzlin' beer Gus needed to pee.

  He sought solace behind a nearby tree.

     Before the judge he was fined,

        To which Gus gravely opined:

            "Where e'er you be let yer water flow free!"

Listen to poem:

True Blue Music Lovers

Eyes squeezed, ears held shut,

When the Koto is plucked, and

Kimono girl shrieks in league,

After much sake,

The Zither is fined tuned, and

The Soprano is well dressed.

The store stayed open
and scared the mayor
making her cry for help.

The policemen came
and fined the store
stopping the sale of kelp.

Now the mayor is happy
and the police been paid
while the councilmen bask in their power.

And the money's changed hands
for the politicians to spend
while the mayor gets paid after hour....

I know who I am, because I talk to myself
I listen to me - I understand what I say
No I am not confussed
I reach down into the depth of my soul
what I fined is what I put there
No I'm not delussional
When I speak its not the first time I hear 
for whatever I say comes from me
No you might not know me, but I do
My name is
In Touch With Myself...

As of today you need to watch your mouth and what you say.  
We have always been able to hurt someone's feelings by our words.   
Tell them off or bring them down. 
Now do it and you will be fined. 
First time $500.00.  
Each time after $1,000 each....

To The Begging Blind
Be squarely kind:
The ones walking our streets lined
But also those doing it singly
And sort of acting kingly!

The Blind also battling with a limp
And The Ones who seem A Pimp,
Never them to a halt grind
Nor to a spot with stories bind;
In their front leading, not behind
Their guide pretend you’d signed
And their alms release like one fined …

With The Begging Blind
Deal with an open mind....

Remember all that time
I spent writing rhymes
Chasing a dream thats mine
Pulled over and fined
Cause the ride shine
The plan was simple
A straight line rimpled
Heart crippled
Some you cant fix with staples
I hate this i hate you
Fate up for debate
Love locked away
The crate says
Open on a sunny day
Maybe she understand me
Before i fade
My mind made
A choice all the same
Crime of pain end with my gun in your face...

Lets get the mind right
Keep the prize in sight
Lets get prepared
For the metaphors I write
Its all in a line
Got the New York state of mind
My hand is out to reach 
I’m about to take what’s mine
My thoughts so wrong
That my brain should be fined
I’m tired of being broke
You thought I had weed heads with me
My dreams went up in smoke 
My thoughts will become reality
Commit no more Fatalities
Take this, take that
Will soon be my morality...

There’s something to be said for shooting blanks
I get seven free tiles and my mind cranks
     The word I choose is “Skydive”
     Hoping to return alive
Just one of many wild-eyed pranks

Bucket list items have been on my mind
To lose at Scrabble games, I am resigned
     Soar with birds and feel so free
     But something’s approaching me
Scrabble police! When I land, I’ll be fined!

Santa the Sinner crossed the Covid line,
With PPE rules he did not comply.
Cookies and milk were swapped, his ample appetizer,
He gobbled up the mask and drank the sanitizer!
For reckless misdemeanor he was fined.

At that point poor Santa’s short fuse blew,
Pandemic? Global? Covid? What! Says WHO?
I ran present production all year from dusk to dawn,
The ones you truly wish for, not bought on Amazon!
No crazy Covid protocols I knew!
