Will I ever live
Up to your highbrow standards
Like him,  when I die....

The Chinese have a dog called, "Chow"
It does not taste much like a cow
The Italian, "Ciao"
Is never highbrow
Yet either one help bed a Frau!...

Highbrow says he knows

Universal truths of man

Square peg in round hole.

Personal Tag

There’s a personal tag on my car
It’s a stand out in my repertoire
It suggests ‘HUG’M NOW,’
And it must be highbrow,
For the source was our friend NPR.

Bow to payment on a platter,
now that karma is paid in full;
Ciao, so it was cool to do it? 
Highbrow schemes are vulnerable;

Overcome can hinder the mind,
numb the frustration will grow;
Dumb stirs fire so carelessly;
Wisdom? Do not dip your toe....

None of them have been me ‘til now;
Not trying to come off highbrow;
I’ll let you find out and say ciao;
Have a pow wow, have a pow wow;

They will all feel like my shadow 
as they sit putting on a show;
You’ll feel it as soon as you go;
A notch below, a notch below....

It’s Attitude Stupid, Not Altitude
1/30/2018
Tom

Altitude is how high you fly,
Attitude is your mindset upon returning.

The attitude of one highbrow,
Has the ability to cause chaos for the throngs.

To experience meaningful change,
Attitudes must become part the new paradigm.

Unaccustomed to the lingo
yet accustomed to the bling so
let it roll and rock and rot
regardless of the highbrow wot...

or china crystalled silver settings
designed Lenox gauche, just sayin' nothing
compared to what us fair groomed got
thank Daddy for the polyglot.

Of myth and spit and hum-drudgery
of how things never used to be
is time to wake up. Hope we do
'cause I'd like to live on, would you?...

A useless piece of paraphernalia
Is definitely the umbrella
It only keeps us dry from the neck up
Not too brilliant there fella

I suppose there are people out there
Think it's the cat's meow
Hop skip and a jump down life's lanes
Doesn't look too highbrow

Must be more common in rainy regions
Closer to the equater
Parts of the world rains are common
Umbellas were created

The Seconds grew impatient
   As Anticipation aimed its dart
Hope sat erect at the table
   Compliments practiced their parts

Breaths were held as the Chef pirouetted
   The Piece de resistance proudly poised
Triumph on a smooth, sleek glass surface
   To the accompaniment of Merriment's noise

Paradise was but a dimly lit candle
   Beside the Pheasant's brilliant blue flame
Exclamations burst forth midst salivation
   The Proud Bird had earned Highbrow acclaim...

The tongue's mystery

The heart's backdoor of the laughing stock
In his furtive,serpentine tongue lodges
The tongue straightaway of the highbrow,brainiac
In his beating,locked up heart camouflages

Many a foot does stumble,vacillate and actually fall
Withstand against all the odds,above all
A lapsus does incapacitate and intention reveal
Prompts irreparable mischiefs elusive to heal

Legitimate ! A tongue isn't in itself a flinty bone
Yet could fragment relics doubtable to atone....
