Tick seed

Grid Lock Bunch of Crock

Grid lock to me is
Surely a big bunch of crock;
What else will they hock?

A young kangaroo pickpocket
Got nabbed when she tried to hock it
But Joey saw
Sex in the raw
And damned if he did not cock it!...

Kim Kardashian with Pete Davidson
Are frolicking in the tropical sun
Paparazzi take photos galore
Of ham hock round like T-rex dinosaur...

I used to wear a watch in my pocket
Times got tough and I had to hock it
Now if I do a crime
I cannot do the time
Because I haven’t the timepiece to clock it...

Gonna take my comb outa my pocket,
May as well kiss it goodby and hock it.
This is much less trying, 
although close to frying.
Just stick my tongue in the light socket....

Needing a fix

She stole my heart
and tried to hock it,
but the pawn shop
wouldn’t give her
anything for it
because it was
broken

Feeling bad
she tried to
give it back,
but when she did
I stole hers,
she still has mine –
it’s fixed now...

Hiding behind his writing,
he went from day to day

Whispering memories from yesterday’s past,
the truth in disarray

Buried in moments now borrowed,
the clock running shorter than long

All words out on pawn, tomorrow in hock
—his message forgotten and gone

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2019)...

There was an old sauce chef from Killarney, 
    Whose Irish stew, was flavoured with blarney.
    While he quaffed bottles of hock,
    That was infused with shamrock.
    Which spiced up his special bouquet garni.

Cat willow dreams budding ever high,
cloud creatures casually drift on by.
Winds whispering songs in a grassy glade,
the Holly Hock dolls we used to make;
and daisy chains we wore those days,
were the wondrous memories that we made.

Carolyn Devonshire
Sunny day golden locks
Friends till the end or in hock
Cheery jewels and holly socks

Entertain us with your verse
Until they take us away in a hearse

Poetess the mostest and a lovely hostess
Holiday with a snowflake princess

Thank you for my lovely cheering wishes
Surprised me into a better day!!...

Please, slap the cook and  test the meal-
the farmer’s shocked, that he’s in hock, 
For the cook taught the pig to steal.
Please, slap the cook and test the meal
The pig got caught now things are hot
The cook killed pig for he did squeal
Please, slap that cook and eat the meal
the farmer’s shocked, that he’s in hock,
Tom turkey must now seal the deal
for the cook taught the pig to steal....

Why despair
  Instead repair

Wherefore cry
  Tomorrow's nigh

In hock or shock
  Don't sweat just yet

It'll happen for you
  There's luck all over
Near the Cliffs of Dover
  Sits your four-leaf clover

If not in a Parisian Cafe
  Or down Acapulco Way
Perchance by Monterey Bay
  Face up on a California quay

Just think of me
  When your ship comes in
Of how happy I'll be
  That you lit up my grin...

She pawned her ring
    went into hock
  Sold her long hair
    went into shock

  Took to the streets
    with naught to eat
  Just a smidgen of dope
    and a cup of hope

  Tried to beg
    took in a few bucks
  Injured her leg
    cried, 'This really sucks'

  Do you know this poor soul
    She's rather pretty, not very old
  A decent gal, she fell through the cracks
    of a godless world, where the 'haves' talk smack...

we heard that sammy
had a mother called mammy
won grammy in miami

button and button
after we had gone hunting
who has the button

we started to search
in a place where he would perch
on bench made of birch

were with many fears
they even had bought some steers
after rounds of beers

money disappears
when their twilight nears
in hock up to ears

you should see long spears
they did use to kill a deer
poor at changing gears...
