What a gaff
$100 per year
How can they
Get away
With charging
So much...

"The Art of the Deal" can not fail 
Yet Greenland is still not for sale
How dare Denmark laugh
At Donald Trump's gaff
When bankrupts will always prevail?...

pity, I can't laugh

                                         funny neck of that giraffe

                                            bent down for a quaff...

The treasure of moment for some.
A tweety bird suit on the one.
     The cat caught in gaff.
     She’s caged in my laugh.
My sis in the pool lands on tum.

Joker Joe
      ©2012 C. Brent Cloyd

Vice President Biden is prone to gaff
But his debate strategy was to laugh
With smirk and grin told things that were not so
That’s how we will remember Joker Joe...

At times I disgust myself but please show no pity
I'm totally in charge of my clever little ditties
It's only for a laugh
At times I may gaff
It's then I hate myself and I feel all shitty...

Cavewoman, sitting in her cave
Angry as hell: her best spear did stave
Vinny the Caveman is at fault
Eagerly chasing deer, he failed to halt
Witness what happened next
Oh, his mighty muscles did flex
Mangling the staff
And breaking that gaff
Never thinking of Rita's best spear!...

Synonymous of The Roman legion,
Is strength and patriotism,
Courage put to swords!

Determined bloodshed, belligerent war,
Humanity stands the gaff,
Victory or failure ?

Learning Sex

When I learned my abc’s
No one ever tutored me
What comes after S- E- X
Is it easy or complex?
No one taught me what to do
How to show my love to you
What to do and what to say
Give you shivers every day
Dirty movies made me laugh
Worried that I’d make a gaff
So I muddle through my life
Hoping that I’ll be a wife....

GYNECOLOGIST



Grappling to make small talk:

     “Good morning,” he begins.

          “Gee, I like your cute socks”

               Good grief don’t speak to me…

                    Gaining back my pale face

                         Gynecologist gaff!

Rise to power
Soar to fame
All that's certain
Can't explain
All I feel
Is much to blame

Politicians
Running free
Plutocrats
Not meant to be

Salutations
False to me
Winning losers
Never see

Time has come
To alter gaff
Mend the tear
That we must laugh

Situation
Runs amok
And beats upon
Fair nation's luck

To soldier in
Democracy
Emerging in
A fallacy...

they met at jericho's gaff
he's got a hottub that's boss

she asked him what he was like
and he told her

"be frank and cordial with him;
and naturally he'll be fonder of you."

that night was a rock n roll moment
in the room and stuff of pantomime

saucepan tried to impress her by
cracking a boiled egg on his head

it hadn't been boiled

Tell them
-They have come
To the fishless sea;
Needless is their net and 
chums,
Useless! Their gaff and clonks.

Tell them
-They have come
To the metal land;
Where tilling is a waste,
And planting is unseen.

Tell them
-They have come
To the shadeless tree;
Where resting is unpleasant,
Where sun is in abundance.

Tell them
-And Sing to them
A single song;
Sing to them
Their failure!...

Sisters in looks only, but they shared a laugh.
It was witch-like, head-thrown-back, quite a gaff.
Their husbands did not see their twinship much anymore.
One lived in the Keys, the other near Mount Rushmore.

But when they got together they had such a great time!
They could finish each other’s sentences, sometimes in rhyme.
There is nothing like a sister, especially an identical twin.
Being together in solidarity was a comfort, truly a win....

Gaff rigged she leaves the bay
White sailcloth upon the mast
Captures the breath of wind
As waves chase the tide

Towards the horizon
Gaff rigged she leaves the bay
Billowing with the breeze
She tacks a sailor’s dream

White horses break gently
Upon the fine wooden keel
Gaff rigged she leaves the bay
To find the distant lands.

An in the air there comes
The sound of mermaid song
Echoes of destiny
Gaff rigged she leaves the bay

The pair should be headed for fame
Behind, in the draw’r, out of aim.
     He was the one left,
     Not right; he’s bereft.
The sock was not chosen for game.

The sock was not chosen, and why?
Embarrassing gaff, he could die.
     Uncool was his sole.
     Unsewn, had a hole.
His match did not stop to say bye.

The right, he returned, with his win.
New left was alright with his skin.
     Ignored was old sock.
     Tossed out like a rock.
He’s bitter and holey as sin....

Tickle me pink, I'm ready to laugh.
Dying for some fun, get out of this gaff. 

Wish I could dance 'till the dawn of day.
Wish I could drink my cares away.

Wish I could fly far,far away. 
When I get the cash, I will someday.

Wish my children did not have to leave.
Wish I could finish knitting this sleeve.

Wish it was summer instead of this cold.
Then I could swim, then I could stroll.

Here I am wishing my life away.
Just need someone to come out to play.

Then stay....
