I'm hungry with a grumble
I know because I stumble
So I need a bite to eat
That is sugary and sweet
How about apple crumble

The mental stumble,
And gastric rumble,
And clumsy fumble,
Uncalled for grumble,
And frequent mumble,
All while you bumble
Through life boldly
And getting oldly....

sixty miles an hour
summer’s winds grumble and twist
she’s trimming the trees
lines are down, neighbors gather
for the fourth time this summer

When Mr. Joseph Biden talks, he fumbles and stumbles
Voters who follow him are starting to grumble
   Biden seems hopeless, a real no-go
   Time to label him: 'Sloppy Joe'...

...for Tarah and Alina


Boogey and Boopy will never be droopy
as long as they play in the grass(es),
they'll rumble and tumble with nary a grumble,
so cute when they fall on their ***** !...

There once was a jockey from Reykjavik
Who'd hit his horse with a freeing ice pick -- 
   The horse, it would stumble
   The jockey, he'd grumble --
"Shut-up, you old nag, I've a charcoal brick!"...

Woe to the ones with a sour attitude
Those who grumble in mumbled words so rude
Their poems sour the air
When one wrote of the 'Herr'
I've grown tired of this silly childish feud...

IF ONLY I'd had

a more holistic doctor

MAYBE now I'd be

much less inclined to grumble . . .

SOMETIMES I just want to die.

We've become moaners,
Grumpy and groaners,
We talk lots of piffle
We cough, and we sniffle.
We mumble and grumble,
We are not very humble
Sighing and crying
There's no denying
We've become apathetic
That is pathetic...

Magical, musical raindrops skydive through the atmosphere.

The clouds may growl and grumble, but you just keep dancing.

Earth’s flowers drink you, with a passionate thirst;
You bring sweet life.

meet in the ocean
live - tumbling bumbling bubbling
sharing each one's woes

from east west north south
what cultural communion
all in the same boat

they never grumble
knowing eternal shore sure
each moment a bliss

Bright
in the night
ladders of light
pools
for planes in sight

Rumble
and grumble
the roar of the guns
splatter
and cracker

Yes I was young
but the fear of the gun
lobbing from Hayes Common
protecting the Biggin
lives in the memory...

The lines upon the widow's face
reflect her struggles, pain and tears:
a constant battle to survive
has been her lot for many years;
she doesn't grumble, won't complain,
but just accepts her passing nears.

Blessings on the faithful few
Who know exactly what to do
When crisis strikes, my friend,
They will be first to defend.
For the majority will crumble
Some will merely grumble
While ignoring the situation
They will be quite mistaken!

I want to gamble,
So let the highest bidder take my heart,
I won’t grumble,
As long as you treat me with a heart,
We might as well get ready to rumble,
If you take my recommendations to heart,
I’m sure we won’t tumble,
If that’s not the case we won’t hurt,
I really then want to gamble...

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...

Words sizzle
Then juggle
Warm struggle


Thought tumbles
Sense stumbles
New grumble


Watch thoughts strange
Play with change
In new range


Feel the glow
That you know
See life show


Style a smile
For this while
In fond style

                grunt
                groan
              grumble
                   i
                snort

      not at the white dust
          yet at the gust
             the blast
                burst
               breeze
   
heaven'z breathe that carried 
         my mother away...

Dedicated to 12 innocents killed by a gunshooter in West Cumbria.

A killer vindictive staunch, trivial systallic gush.
Violate grumble wish washy starling a virent push.
A Wheeler dealer syncopated steadfast ware wolf,
Gurgitation gusty thorough fare tripudiate brush.
Tirailleur timorous tintinnabulation whiffle tingle....

When earth starts to rumble
And the ground begins to crumble
Surrounded by images that are implausible
The destruction so inconceivable
Maybe I will stumble through the rubble 
And most likely I will struggle
But I'll stay humble
Try not to grumble
On my journey to hear Gods sweet mumble

With sugar, butter and flour I fumble -
it’s a great way of cleaning my nails
Don’t grumble when finding specks in your crumble ...
but I’ll know when I see your face pales!

A pure tongue in cheek poem... but we have been given lots of cooking apples and I'm going to make apple crumble!!

Skies shine a strange green, enchanted light
Storm clouds frown, grumble, and complain
Masculine forces flex, anticipating a frantic fight
Eerie scents, wicked winds, atmospheric strain 
Energetic leaves flip upside-down, signaling their plight
Crackling lightning strikes, releasing pent up pain

Cause crumbles
Glimpse grumble
Swift stumble


Gracious gift
Laughter lifts
Sample sifts


Being bright
Rapture right
Succinct sight


Puzzle peaks
Something speaks
Lavish leaks


Profound price
Sad surprise
Vicious vice


Notice now
Hopeless how
Rowdy row
