Illusions darken
Poets following pigs plod
glass reflections gripe....

watch football, snack, take naps
Listen to wife gripe  I'm lazy
Fun day...

thank you hands that type
thanks we don't gripe
as much as we ought
Taught by Jesus, choose
Battles to be fought...

About toilet paper guests swipe
The staff at hotels have a gripe
They say steal it not
And buy one-ply Scott
Which won’t clot your home’s sewage pipe...

life is life, for you
subconscious to consciousness
loneliness gripe tough 
everything on cart of time 
without you life is non-rhymed

IMPULSE #3


Lyric rustic lactic
Surge of feel electric


Greet grumbling grouchy gripe
Reach empty rapture ripe

When a hand is bitten

          With a gripe or groan,

                    Consider your reply ...

                              Or it may be ... your own.

Type Who Would Type

After we had heard  all of the hype,
Seeing picture  appearing on Skype
Gripe not me,
Soon did see;
Knew she was type who would type.

Jim Horn

And with danger did have a scripe....

gripe the heart of time
it's a present
gripe the heart of feelings
it's love

o' no; do not wait;
the future is not for coming;
it's everything in now
the present and the love
gripe the heart of present love

There’s a fairy going round who does hair transplants in the night
She does them while your sleeping so you wake with quite a fright
I have no gripe with transplants so don’t think that I’m a moaner
But could I be recipient… and not the bloody doner!...

Limerick : Once a lone House Dog led a dog’s life

Once a lone House Dog led a dog’s life
Always wondered about life with wife
Day and night heard House gripe
Master duck Mistress swipe
Happy his kids grew up sans his wife!

I wanted to traipse in the desert
But sand dunes were in the way
I went to ski in the mountains
But snow blocked the pass that day

It seems Mother Earth has a game
That she really loves to play
Forget about YOUR calendar
To Mother Earth, today is PAY DAY!...

Oliver Toliver Goliver Snipe
Was a big lizard who was fairly ripe
His pink and red top hat brought plenty of hype
Some were so jealous they began to gripe
The treble, the cleft, the tooth, and the tripe,
I thought he was adorable with his blue green back stripe....

I am me.
What does that mean?
Well, I'm beautiful,and smart but,
sometimes I don't feel like it.
So, I gripe and I cry and sometimes I wonder why?
 Then I finally look to heaven above and realize why I'm me.
Because he's he and that's what he wants us to be..........

See sweet sensuous sizzling struggles slant
Bright beaming blossoms bursting blunt
Poise piques puzzling poignant plants
Live laughter lingers late
Glimpse gaudy gripe gate
Lazy looms late
Seek sound style
Proof piles
Smiles

Dark mind
Black heart
Fake kind
False start


Late date
Sad rush
Freak fate
Hot flush


Feel lost
Trip blown
Lost cost
Now grown


Crude take
Cause gone
Cream cake
Bleak dawn


Much more
Gripe gains
Wet store
More pain

the clowns, their smiles and frowns,
              continue to gripe in the big tent abyss.
          the epic fail of their lives an applause
from the demons who have them in grip.

Watch people go about their day
  What pleasant things they say: 
Mutter, grumble, moan and gripe
  Curse and condemn, carp and snipe

Something to prove, on the run, in the groove
  Going nowhere fast, see ‘em move 
Life’s delights make no impression
  Pleasures lost ~ to incomprehension...

Some dogs are disasters,
ignoring their masters;
she’s simply not that type.
Though she gets on a roll,
she’s quite good on the whole,
so I rather hate to gripe.
My one little issue:
she likes to eat tissue,
a form of internal wipe.

Miss Jenny Lee ran after afterlife
                              Life was a boat full of fruits overripe
                                       So, Jenny Lee jumped
                                    To the heap, she bumped
                             And ate up all fruits and began to gripe...

If I can’t me hug,
Nor can on my shoulder cry,
Fine, I’m such a mug,
But did I gripe why?
So what if I’m such a smug.

Yes, I’ll sign that gripe card! Give it to me! 
Tell that coworker what an arse he be!
Look how quickly they sign it!
He’ll be surprised to find it!
Hey, what’s this? Oh crap! It’s addressed to me…

Little wolf, who is lost
Howl for help, hide your flaws
None see eyes, all see fur
All see fangs, none see hurt
See how well you hide the gore
As your psyche screams for more
More gripe, feel the warm juice
Cast another lame excuse
Those who cast eye do not care
It's more than their minds can bear...

A constant companion ,a friend to the end, a dogs love and devotion will never bend. Their the first one to greet you, and happy to meet you. Never once will they gripe about the floor or the grass, as they lay at your feed, as long hours pass. So much soul behind loving eyes, their love for you that never dies....
