Bears do something that is top rate,
I just have to make my stomach inflate,
after Holidays,
in bed will stay,
for a couple of months to hibernate.

not sure what this means
have mixied up hambone with beans
add cabbage with greens
(may inflate your jeans)
(ate much in my teens)
(Create many scenes)
(living beyond means)...

There’s a lady in Kuala Lumpur
Likes to wear a tight fitting jumper
And to make the men smile 
She’ll inflate her profile 
With the aid of a bicycle pumper...

Love's a blooming gift;
     joys of growing love  
          feeding give-and-take
               inflate hearts to lift.

Whined a perky young songstress from Miami
"I think I am deserving of that Grammy!
I do not sound especially great
But my lungs, they surely do inflate
Frankly, no one sings 'Candy Man' like Sammy."

Bubbling

As I peeked inside a drum
Of beer brewed by mum
I espied exploding bubble
Like lips exuding warble!

There's something in yeast
(That inflate us to a Beast)
Fomenting guts to replete
Then at last dignity delete!

Moment is now, not yesterday or tomorrow.
Enjoy this moment don't look back in sorrow
Live life to the full, yet be careful of the 'morrow
Remember be kind... don't inflate your ego.

Two hearts intertwined, yet divided by time. 
If I could, I would take both our hearts hold them together as they beat forever.... 
watch as they mate, watch as they inflate, pulsate... 
one word could never reiterate the state of what I would love to create...

My own proverb.....

Do not search your happiness in the hell.  
Do not inflate your soul with sins.  
Do not believe in short term pleasure. 
Do not harm your inner heart with faults

Money, Greed, and lust
The sins that target us
Cheating, Lying, Stealing
Bad habits that were given
Or better yet obtained
Egos inflate the brain
Since you can not change
Your behavior can't be tamed
Your jailed if you let your bad habits and addictions control your brain...

Puff Up, Inflate


One kind of pigeon,
one kind of snake,
as far as I know,
puff up, inflate.
There’s the bullfrog,
of course, and 
peacocks have tails
so I tell my wife
what she already knows:
Once I become 
whoever I am
then will
I love you.

I never wanted to be famous,
   I only wanted to be great

I never promised you an answer
  even now as questions inflate

I traveled each and every highway
  as time kept changing once again

I never told you it was magic
  —just a wish blowing in the wind

free state
   need resuscitate
   can’t hesitate
   to evaluate
   then elaborate
   specious debate
   too late
   dare dedicate
   stilling hate
   egos inflate
   do perpetuate
   inevitable fate
   armageddon date
   will not wait
   lest we consecrate
   civil complaint
   with new translate

DISSIPATE

when you flicker 
on and off
I cannot touch you… 
your essence

when I put my 
fingers into the 
flames of your heart 
will they burn
or dissipate 
like opiates

and nauseous 
capsules of hate..
that inflate my 
dying ego

Conversations with a like-minded poet

Folding chairs and blow-up beds 
Are mostly used my guests,
Providing extra space for bodies’
Temporary rests.

If company is coming,
It’s a plus if you can stash
Accommodations for some friends
Who need a place to crash.

There’s always room for others 
Who are willing, truth be told,
To plop their bones on seats or beds
That will inflate or fold....

some words shouldn't be said
like wishing someone dead
and all those words of hate
will make hate inflate 
there's too much anger
for this head banger
back when Quiet Riot was big
I was partying like a pig
never mind using your fist
cross out fighting from the list
hand shakes and greetings
at twelve steps meeting
it cleared my head some
and gave me freedom...

HIS  and  HERS - limericks


HERS

SWEET MOLLY SHE SET OUT THE BAIT
ORDERED A DRINK FOR THE WAIT
LIFTED HER SKIRT
FANNED SCENTED FLIRT
WHILE WATCHING THEIR EGOS INFLATE



HIS

Young Buster was full of himself
a bruiser devoid of all stealth
he measured his worth
by its length and its girth
had it bronzed and put on a shelf

Apple orange grapes
Murder plunder rapes
All and sundry things
Empty vessel rings
Sunset evening dawn
Easy leasy loan
Tortuous treacherous path
Fresh and fragrant bath
Crazy curious crowd
Town talks aloud
Dizzy merry-go-round
Folks tradition-bound
Catchy cute couplet
Astute images inflate
APOSTROPHIC INTERLUDE:
Flow !flow! thou vacuous word
Thou are not so absurd
As man's ineptitude...
