Short Flush It Poems

With all the time I spend on rhyme
    in vain pursuit of beauty
  I neglect to help my fellow man
    and fail my forsworn duty

  So this vow I make right now
    Do not think I take it lightly ~
  to rig up my toilet to fertilize my lawn
    and flush it day and nightly...

There once was a bucket from Nantucket
[Trump*]'s aides must make time to lug it
While running for office
His sh!t from each orifice
Needs giant commodes just to flush it

Recovery turns to reduction.
Curing a disorder of consumption through crumbs,
Staring at the dish before me,
An enemy of the state of my mind.
I fear I’ll turn back to a pantry for protection,
While taking microbites in front of peers. 
My fear turns to fullness,
And I empty my being,
My soul, 
My vitality
And flush it away.

There's a mouse in my house
It just ran under the couch
I really hate to say it 
But I don't think I can take it.

There's a mouse in my house
I'm really quite annoyed
There's some bread on the floor
It must have really enjoyed.

There's a mouse in my house
I just hit it with my shoe
It really seems quite dead now
Think I'll flush it down the loo.

There's a mouse in my house

I really hate to say
But I don't think I can take it.

There's a mouse in my house
I'm really quite annoyed
There's some bread on the floor
It must have really enjoyed.

There's a mouse in my house
Think I'll hit it with my shoe
It seems to be quite dead now
Think I'll flush it down the loo.

There's a mouse in my house
It just ran under the couch.
I really hate to say it
But I just can't seem to take it.

Oh,there's a mouse in my house
I'm really quite annoyed
There's some bread on the floor
It must have really enjoyed.

There's a mouse in my house
I just hit it with my shoe
It really seems quite dead now
Think I'll flush it down the loo.

While gazing at the sky
A gnat flew in my eye
Causing me to wince in pain

Using the faucet spout
I tried to flush it out
So I could see clear again

When the gnat was dislodged
It came out very smudged
Like a soggy wet wheat grain


When next I watched the sky
A bird pooped in my eye
So I had to flush again

I must be unlucky
For what happened to me
Because it had me in pain

So when birds are on high
And there are gnats nearby
Caution I have to maintain...

Here's a box of gas station chocolates 
for all the raunch I've put you through...
and a fist full of grocery store roses 
to wash away a year of black and blue.
Enduring is the name of this maze game
An ounce of sweetness then flush it down the drain.
Never quite meeting love in the middle-always on the fray
oh the mind games that I fancy to play
sadist mime in a dried-out fishbowl-
Spitting out the gravel of the blame
happy Valentine's day cracks the crow....
