Short Hankered Poems

Hankered after plump pouting lips
Surgery the answer read all the tips
Now I'm a cartoon~think Donald Duck
Opening my mouth with horror I cluck.

Pa hankered cheeses of every kind.

   Alas, it placed him in a painful bind!

      "For fast relief", said his wife,

         "Plumber's snakes should ease yer strife!"

            "No thanks!  I'll use Ex-Lax for my behind!"

draped zeal dripped
smoggy crest clipped
callous crest squashed
training taunted trance
felon feelings fiery
licking lanky crisp

punctured passion pressed
met mystic press
moaning pressed' press

haughty zeal hankered
sane seal smothered
voluptuous veil angered

porous pasts absorbed
moaning memories' throb.

The days when women stayed at home and worked
From dawn to night,
Played roles of 
Model 
Wives
She
Hankered 
For respect
But was shown none; 
Instead in silence suffered his abuse.

The cabin hankered for a story.
They had not had one for a couple of months.
Grandpa chair was tired of feeling the cabin’s discontent.
He came alive and began telling ghost stories.
They were better than any the humans had ever told.
The cabin was satisfied, and grandpa chair was fulfilled.
Keeping up the façade throughout the winter months.
Mum about it when the humans returned in the summer.
Dying for them to leave, so they could resume the best stories in the fall....
