Imprisoned anxiety
A hefty encumbrance
You either shake it off, or...
be crushed under it

discounting hefty losses...
Demanding dessert

Spring time
I rhyme

You shine
We dine

You speak
I peak

I eat
Not neat

Meals done
How fun

I pee
You flee

I shrill
Hefty bill...

I wish I could pen rhymes every second
Without a break and without breathing,
But hefty tasks weigh me down till I abscond
My noble duty to feed the world with rhymes....

Herald the black and gold
Helmet's ebony eye
Heroes of Iowa
Heartland fall warriors
Hefty touchdown trophies
Hometown game day glory
Hawkeyes football is back!

There once was a birthing person from Perth
He/She/It battled quite a hefty girth
  Couldn't sit, so she squatted
  Reputation mud-spotted
But oh man, could she push when she gave birth...

   "The Jews are like everyone else, only more so."
                                             ~ Mark Twain

    
        Since I am ‘more so’ ~
          that explains my hefty torso

withered weeds
in a barren field
where once were orchids
with a hefty yield.

no longer birds 
in leafy trees.

no longer stars
for eyes to see;

nothing but the sight of dread
everything-infinitely dead....

Banana Cream Pie I could eat by the barrel
My waistline would suffer, it's a losing battle
I could eat like a fly
Forego all that pie
And still I'd resemble some hefty beef cattle

The machine buried him,
poor bastard spent 40 years in the coop
before technology chased down the truth
the machine gave him twenty million for his time
the mouthpieces took a hefty slice
the machine will tax the settlement
burying him all over again...

Here lie the few remains of John M. Kyte
He lit a cigarette with a stick of dynamite
[His body was blown to smithereens]
Parts of him were scattered over the county
For which retrieval insured a hefty bounty.

My wish for you



All your dreams come true,
Is subtle wish from my heart,
Big house and a car,
Hefty money and dense hair,
Health, fortune and blessed flair !

A lunchbox full of healthy food
Prepared by mom, she made it good

Cold, hard but sometimes delicious
For me who is always precious

When left untouched mom would get mad
Worried for my health to be bad

Told me to bring it back home empty
Mom wants me to be strong and hefty...

Vaingloriously
reluctant,
in the words
yet
for self the words of wisdom
with a faint shadow
of a guilt hovering across
the cloudy dull sky
as the noisy birds
sings above
the voice i loathe
i proscribe
but they ignore
A subtle ignorance
fighting against my
hefty arrogance...

The Holiday Season has come and gone.

   Bank balance for that spree is overdrawn.

      Now I'm feeling mighty glum.

         Since Sam wants a hefty sum,

            The house and my dog I may have to pawn!

A breath is a prayer
And we continue to breathe 
Because we have faith 
That every breath is a prayer 
We pray when we take a breath
Now take a hefty breath 
Take a healthy breath for show
Of gratitude for our 
Most ancient of ancestors
Breathe, like breathing is brand new
And you are new born....

It is hard to believe but it is true
                      Last night my wife Sue stayed home with her boo
                                    I was such a wonderful jack
                                  Had to give him hefty kickback
                             To spend the night in a Timbuktu loo....

Statue is hefty on the scales
Is day crying, or just sweating?
Pearls are made of musical sizzle
Liquid shock in the spheres of notation
Fragile melodies that only last a moment
Continual transition from static to dynamic
The gentle grip of raindrops
A silent, melodic refrain....

Boy told mom name brand he wanted to wear 
Gucci, Tommy Hilfiger, Nike air 
They are all the fashion rage. 
When you earn a hefty wage 
Wal-Mart breeches and shirt is what we'll spare.

With my plucky granddaughter, I'm ne'er bored.
She saunters at connate emblems and depth.
And the way the fay sway with her.
Five-year-old darts on slight span.
Brilliant, brittle crane drum,
Tall, hefty gist sight,
Pitch in limns burns.
With swish rifts.
Wingbeats
wheeze....

In the world of automobiles, this is a shining star.
Many call this America's only true sports car.
With a fiberglass body, and a big, powerful V-8,
zooming down any road would certainly be great
Presently, I have one very big personal regret:
With a hefty price tag, I can't afford one yet.
