Feel big waist when it pinches

darkened moon
filthy room

five fast bullets
locked and loaded

perilous inches
from my head

fate is held
by my true loves' hand

A standard toilet paper roll
Has shrunk two inches from its goal
Since all we need
Is just pure greed
And one old-fashioned finger bowl

Between the broken crests,
The sea murmurs,
A Huron glides inches above the water
While a number of bumble bees
Feed within a rocky crevice.

Just Add Water

A happy childhood hour spent
Peering into 
A few scant inches of rainwater 
On hot days
Should come as no surprise.
For life, 
Simply add water.

Superman's Disguise

Suppose for a moment
Superman had no nose
Three eyes
And one leg three inches too short
He’d surely need a better disguise…

Or would he?

and 12 inches overnight

and outside is white    white    white
oh for one more hour to sleep

A heron glides inches above the water
While a number of bumble bees feed
Within the rocken crevice.

We're about eight inches short
and I'm not flexible enough to contort
and steal that chunk of Swiss.

Santa's wife said, "You've gained an inch!", 
and gave his fat belly a pinch.

Can a teenage girl possibly thrive
On six-inches of masculine drive?
If you can revive
Then you will survive
As six-inches chugs better than five!

The Old Hen

There was an old hen in a coop,
Her favourite dinner was soup,
And the eggs in her nest
Were the biggest and best,
But covered in inches of poop.

Not So Scary

I
am 
a scary
ghost with
the ability to
transcend all of 
time and space; but 
the best way to show my 
power is to ever so slightly  
close this door by a few inches …
