Love Thy Neighbour

My neighbour out searching for conkers
Is blessed with incredible honkers
But when she bends down
All the housewives frown
Where to look drives their husband bonkers!

The Irony of God

In Europe women have
A better education 
And fewer children
Then before when
They were mere housewives 
When they all have
Master degrees 
No children will be born
And they will have to 
Get them from abroad.
The white tribe
Will die out 
Just like the hobbit man

Premium Member Back In the Day

Grandma wore petti-pants, a form of straight bloomers to exercise class.
Back in the fifties, you had to wear dresses, to cover your…..
In grayscale, these housewives bent, grunted and gave a big reach.
The days before work-out-clothes, women were daring to say the least.

Premium Member Dusty Lane

Dust swirls up from the country lane
Traffic stirs clouds of gravel and sand
And swearing from the unhappy profane
Dust swirls up from the country lane
Driving unhappy housewives insane
The natural result of crusty, dry land
Traffic stirs clouds of gravel and sand
Dust swirls up from the country lane.

Premium Member Hurricane Idalia

Palm trees are being blown out to sea today
In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and far away
Hurricane Idalia is making sure she is having her way
When we think of Florida we all must pray

Alligators are in hiding, the manatees too
Housewives have stopped cooking their beef stew
People are all running toward Interstate ninety-five.
Trying to escape so they can stay alive.

Just Exactly How Old Is Eva Longoria

Just exactly how old

Is

Eva Longoria

She of Desperate Housewives Fame

Because the tv advert she is on
advertising facial skin wrinkle
cream

She looks and has the skin of
a 20 year old but surely that 
can't be right

Because that show if memory
serves me correct ended and
was on a long time ago 

Hasn't she aged well she is
looking younger by the day

Note to self

Must try that cream myself

The French Connection

French emancipation 

French women are free, well-educated and elegant,
but spend much time to attract men.
Easy of virtue, yet frantically look to get married to
a wealthy man, who can free them of distressing liberation.

They will intellectualize their misery, see themselves
as Sagan Melancholic, ye yarning to me middle class
housewives worrying about the price of garlic, meet
other wives and talk endlessly about equality.

The Gamin Ii

whereby shall the young shelter their skin
without a home to hire their hand
a moments rest beside a beggar and trash can
young years spent inside a starving soul
much of faith was lost beyond control
harlot housewives tease their baffled hair
children with rich parents spit on their shoelaces
calling them ugly neglected ducks
the gamin are children neglected
who roam the streets and wish upon broken stars magnified by streetlights

Big Ben Is Set Free

Stone hands slide across wooden faces,
With a timeless intention,
Of man’s damnation,
To glimpse at a movement,
Searching for salvation,
We stand in lashing winds,
Of spoken rage,
And caress the moment,
Before,
The wheat grain,
Slips,
Away,
And desperate housewives,
Transmute into schizophrenic princesses,
Waltzing through a ballroom palace,
Stone hands capture each breath,
And inside glass bottles,
They chime,
Then fall on disciples,
Time stops,
Life,
Dies…

They Left Crimson Out of the Rainbow

Leprechauns do a jig
Moguls eat a fig
Rubes eat a pig
Crimson is real big

Accountants get a raise
Bankers get to appraise
CEO's get to the next phase
Crimson is the post chaise

Crime lords get the bling
Business men get a one night fling
Choir of Angels sing
Crimson is the thing

Dogs get a bone
Assistants get to phone
Wives stay at home
Crimson sets the tone

Pop stars get the entourage
Winners wear a corsage
Housewives put on a visage
Crimson is a mirage

The Awakening

THE AWAKENING

It was midnight that I laid still
and breath had filtered down
An open book - a nagging fly
will wait for me until

bestirred at morning’s knock
when stoves excite a brew
and housewives stir a door
toward sunrise bursting through -

to heaven like a broom
sweeping eyelids like a fan
and chattel and dust balls
like billiards across the room -

that wake the inner chambers
of my brain i separate stalls
that conjure up my daily tasks
within these slumbered walls
