drumming the rooftop

exempting themselves from indebtedness!
Oh, Congress is comical...
making us hysterical
through economic hardships!...

in hysterical humor
she cackles
grand scales of laughter 
lost in the higher notes
we stand
ears covered in horror
as she throws back her head
revealing
fangs...

They were also there always 
In a sense, and out of sense 
Deep as a prowling tiger sifting in and out of a constant flow, 
As if to be a river.

Evidently Error

Evidently Error ended up being clerical;
No one laughed or became hysterical;
More notes took;
Wrote a book;
Thoughts were horizontal and vertical.

Too bad for this site his jokes are unfit...

On those hot summer's afternoons around five,
there's nothing that soothes like a rich ice cream;
sweaty kids can't wait for Mr. Softee to arrive
and they run while their hysterical moms scream!...

hysterical lights
flash out of sync from her tree....

she can't remember
laughter in the snow,
only a grave beneath it

Trump's Lying Has Been Habitual

His lying has been hysterical and habitual,
And never stops goes on and is perpetual;
All around,
Very profound;
Would become part of a Republican ritual.

I would love you again
and madly...
Would be again
for you hysterical...
Would atempt to be in heaven
without fear again...
Would not hesitate
rewrite our history
and again would repeat
the mistake... !...

Look within; not without
Or be hysterical; scream and shout

And do you want to pout?
Not what life's about!

Jesus created you with a heart
That from truth will not depart!

You can then fly to the sky
Going up who knows how high!...

Toddler’s Play

There once was a home with two daughters.
Mother was sleeping.  Two adorned her!
Her lipstick took a trip.
Doorbell rang; Mom ran…zip!
Hysterical!  Lipstick-faced...caught her!

My life is over
My time has come
And I’ve had a pretty good run
With no expectation of reincarnation
Heavenly bliss or eternal damnation
I leave the world with no regrets
Perfectly willing to take all bets
With no crying or hysterical laughter
Certain there is no Ever After...

I am a liar. I act tough. I act like I don’t care.
But in reality, I suffer from every glass-eyed glare.
I am a lost cause. I act like I have promise.
But I still run for cover because my soul is an abyss.
I am a monster. I act like I am harmless.
But in reality, I’m a hysterical mess....

4 Senryu 

Child chews on duvet
Ciggy smoke from living room
Hysterical voices.

Bedroom partitions 
Eight layers of wallpapers
History smells bad.  

Yule remembered
Christmas tree flung into snow
Police sirens laugh.

After festivities 
We sell empty booze bottles
Go see a movie....

So many nights pass
So many days elapse 
Hollow minutes
Endless seconds travel beyond limits
Time's grip 
Hush my lonely lip
Words left behind 
With soul and mind 
Body move in a circle 
Mad and hysterical 
Reason in doubt 
Love is no where about 
If and but 
Are many and a lot 
Life without a start 
Fire with no spark...
