cloaked angel wings
part and a soul emerges
a gift of the guff...

Spiritualist is what I’m not:
Trusting forces nonspecific. 
For scepticism is my lot:
Anti guff non-scientific....

Wake oh laggard sun and anoint a freed age.
Wake the guff and lose all allegiance primal. 
Roar and rise angelic at man's evolving
endlessly joyful....

A grump and a grouse ran around town.
Griping and groaning, whining around.
So full of guff
We’d had enough.
Sent them to a circus to be happy clowns....

An opera singer name Guff Macduff
When he sings he tries to stuff
All his tunes at one time
While drinking his red wine
Guff Macduff acted like a cream puff...

There once was a man named Griff Gruffen.
Who lived for his daily bran muffin.
When the bran ran out.
He started to pout.
Now poor Griff starts his day with nothin'....

Well Halleluyay and all that stuff
Where did life go I was promised more guff
With headaches galore
Sure wasn't a bore
Had ups and downs as cows on the bus...

Chance Rooster had greatest cockscomb around.
The deepest, coppery color, shiny and sound.
He strutted his stuff.
Put on lots of guff.
Turning off most hens for miles around....

Well Halleluyay and all that stuff
Where did life go I was promised more guff
With headaches galore
Sure wasn't a bore
Had ups and downs as cows rode on the bus...

This lady I know who resides among us
Was once a celebrity on Broadway, no guff
A bright shiny star
With a dazzling histoire
Sure was a sizzler with real yummy stuff...

Been kinda political lately, that's sure not my style
But some things outrage me, so I'm standing in the aisle 
Yelling “stop this guff
Had more than enough
Need a break and common sense to prevail for a while!”...

My son threw a tirade
          At the parade
He rolled on the floor
          In the grocery store
He made quite a loud fuss
          On the bus
I said I’ve had quite enough
          No more guff!

She said she’d go to the police,
but she was bluffing,
so I went to them today, 
and she can’t do nothing 

I’ve called her bluff 
I’ve had enough, 
her mouth is crude 
her face is rough 

one thing gets me the most 
personality of a guff o’gross...

Clyde Shanks
Robs banks

With gal
Named Sal

For tasks
Wear masks

Take loot
And scoot

Foot race
Cops chase

Both caught
All naught

Both ruffed
And cuffed

To jail
No bail

Court date
Learned fate

Judge tough
No guff

To pen
For ten...

Once a bully named Mike McGruff,

   Who thought he was really tough stuff,

      Until that fateful day,

        He met Daniel O'Gray,

            Who smashed Mike's schnoz taking no guff!

Grandfather

My hero is gone now, 
He was a real man, 
among real men. 

They walked tall, 
in his time. 
They took no guff, 
spit, and shook your hand.

Their “word”, 
each, and every “one”,
chiseled in stone, 
carved in ivory 
and counted as gold. 

Dignity....

Kennedy didn’t die in Dallas
And Elvis lives outside of Memphis
You see they got sick of the guff
And took identities that were good enough

So if you see an impersonator in their act
Looking good as a matter of fact
It may be the real deal
Hiding in plain sight comfortably real.

No one knows what’s inside my head
Looking straight and blank faced he said
For I don’t show myself to you
There’s just enough to function through

For I am me and that is enough 
To ride it through without the guff
So remember I am built this way
And it’s how it will forever stay.

To stand for truth, and take no guff.
                  To fly like an elegant eagle in the storm.
                  Oh, give me courage to be just like him.
                  To fight for truth and keep it warm!

The News is my woman
I hate her for sough
She lies to the wind dough
and fakes what she'll guff

She's proud of a lege_up
and drowned for a britch
She's bred for a bastard
and brash as a bitzch

She's faulky and nasty
and bled to stitch
She's heddy disgraceful
and reft for a ditch

She's all of the words
I lied for a heart
When all the the times
were fake and apart...

Xena Warrior Princess, she took no prisoners and no guff.
She had a sword, a lance, a hatchet and other stuff.
She did not need a man to tell her how high to jump
Or what to do; she was a beauty too, never a frump.

Xena Warrior Princess, she slashed her way into battle.
She hurt no animals - no goats, dogs, cats or cattle.
She fought like a tiger, had the heart of a lion, a bear.
With her friend Gabrielle, they showed the people they cared....

My imagination has run off the track,
I truly doubt I will want to coax her back.
She never listens to my ideas of the day.
Preferring to lean in her own special way.
I have tried to tame her down, calling her bluff.
She is snippy and snarly, giving me guff.
Her ways are off the track, pure and plain.
Others might agree she is almost insane.
My muse rolls her eyes in jest at her present antic.
She’ll come back when she’s ready, so I will not panic....

There once was a naïve Southern lassie
who believed some politicians classy.
She swallowed all of their guff
like an Emp'ror in the buff.
and soon found out there was NO guarantee.

She soon hired a civil rights GO team
who championed not one of the fine cream
They got lots of work
for ladies named Dirk,
but that was not what she wanted it seems?

Enter my pretty if you dare, if you dare.
Who are you referring to? Asked my friend Mare.
Don’t pretty me, or I will burn you down to the ground.
I swear the windows of this haunted house gave her a frown.

She did not care, she takes no guff from anyone.
She can be serious sometimes, taking away all kinds of fun.
I saw her face and knew it was a battle like she had had with our elf.
Spooky Halloween house figured it out too and kept his words to itself....
