Bucket

There once was an old man from Nantucket
Who one day caught his foot in a bucket
He gave shake
But didn't take
For bucket jerked his hip out of socket.

Ral 9011

I like this color 
looks like flesh when I close my eyes. 
has the shapes 
and the light has fingertips 
my fingers 
there are all 
among the smoothness 
which leaves me without air 
and sometimes are so close that 
the lips are glued 
and you jerked!

Happiness

The light flickers
the woman waits
the car passes
with a bold sticker
the clock ticks and the closing of the gates

The rain falls
the wind blows
a business man calls
the band played
friends or foes

The song played
The woman worked
The man strolled
His head jerked

Life

Life without you is like love without words
Life without you is like pain and a lot of hurt
Life without you is like being treated like dirt
Life without you is like always being jerked
Life without you is like no life at all
so be in my life and keep me happy
and please don’t let me fall


Ghostly Grippe

The ghostly grippe on Zorro's goolies, as the ghostly footsteps fall, some old bugger called d'hoolie, jerked his chain and was not enthralled, gelded by the facination, would he get her would he fall, rising, falling, flaccid, hesitation, Zorro needs some other's balls....

Lost Love

Your eyes
Your smile
Your words
Have a magic spell
Which I have fallen for you
Your thoughts flooded in my mind
Where I'm out of one's mind
Butterflies jerked their wings in my tummy
Words got hidden 
And trembled and uttered
But,
Your not mine
And you no more
Heart crumbled
Brow crinkled
Tears drizzled.

Sundown

Sundown came fast,
the fat Blue Heeler
lolling under the low picket fence
suddenly jerked his head up
as if someone had turned the lights out.
A startled Magpie scuttled over the hedgerow
maybe thinking it would be lighter on this side,
it wasn't,
eventually we all went to bed,
but the dog was dead by morning.

Premium Member Just Decriminalize

      His ears couldn't hear
      His thoughts all a-shmear
      His eyes didn't see
      Took Ecstasy

      Self-control didn’t work
      His whole body jerked
      He slowly lost hope
      Addicted to dope

      Let’s make it all legal
      Injections by needle
      Just DECRIMINALIZE
      A solution so wise

Time


You silenced the calling out of children,
across empty lots and down twilight alleyways.
You stole the summers of innocence,
and the friends and lovers of forgotten days.

Long ago, you teased me with your possibilities,
filled me with hope and fantasies.
Then jerked away your promises,
and left me with want and empty dreams.

Prison Teacher

You got to report him miss
You can’ let him disrespect you like that 
He is playing himself while you teach

The teacher made the report
A trial was held
The prisoner stated that he had a hole in his pants 
And that was all

The teacher went back to teaching 
And the prisoner was sent to mow the prison lawn
Where he happily jerked off to nature for the rest of the day

Premium Member Next Year

turkeys thoughts about the 25th leary
hurry to the corner
huddle close togther
with minds togther
jerking their brains fiercly
thinking about the fruit and berries
pupils thats already seen the axe 
bloodshead
from their closest turkey relitives
and again with brains jerked around to the max
you can hear the cry's of clucking
I think I hear 
faint
next year or somthing

Premium Member Doctor Vertigo

Eyes are spinning, my vertigo's bored

Sent to a doctor I can't afford

Slapped me twice in the head

Shook it like dice and said

"Boy, you've got loose gravel in your gourd"


Then jerked it sideways, brought me to tears

Smirked, poured quick dry cement down my ears

"Never tried this before"

"Pay your bill at the door"

"That should hold you for a couple years"

The Jerk

I once had a boss with a twitch -
his head wasn't still for a sec
and jerked to the left all the time
(a wonder it stayed on his neck).
The guy was a terrible bore
and wasn't the nicest I've met,
but 'footie' was when he was great -
he'd head all the balls in the net.

* based on a real person (but no idea if he really played football)
written 13th October for Nina's Twitch contest

Premium Member The Tool

The carpenter at rest recalled The tools he left within a wall So by night he paid a call Too swift extract his treasure His saw so deftly blasted through It jerked and nicked his favorite tool Just bellicose a real fool At least he missed the jewels The nurses laughed a lot inside The carpenter, he nearly cried The only damage to his pride The doctor patched his tool

Bottomless Pit

Hurled at the speed of light
Into a black hole
Into the fierce vaccum
Tumbling, twirling, twisting
Falling for a thousand years
With an unchained melody
Until the Reign ends
Then apprehended suddenly
Jerked up at that same speed
By that chain- feet first
With that same unbroken 
Primal scream
In fearsome terror
Surrounded by darkness
Dense enough to feel
More horrific than his own

Premium Member April Green Avalanche

Muscle-shirt man took his cell phone for a walk.
His mutt was just a four-legged afterthought.
Sniffing out voles and angels from the wildflower troughs...
Muscle shirt man jerked him by the neck over and over again.

I was trapped by Muscle shirt man's loud cell phone drone.
And the mutt's giant wiggly bulldog anus.
I slowed down to gain them distance.
They soon disappeared beneath April's green Avalanche.

Journey

A cross between insanity and complacency 
An ounce of heroism drowned by the tears of depression
The moment has no meaning in the eyes of the audience 
Each line is forgotten, even though rehearsal is mandatory 
The long haul never seemed so strenuous
Tight roping the strings that jerked the heart 
Inconsistent and unrhythmic taps
Disjointed, falling to my knees without answers 
My moment of disillusion and confusion

Premium Member Pain

My computer arm is gone
Everytime I use it pain
Agony and despair
I no longer can even
Put my clothes on without
Crying pain agony and despair

I hurt it when my washer
Keep getting unbalanced
When I tried to set it
Straight it fought back
I snatched and jerked
Jerked my arm right out

Cry Cry Crying over
The pain every word
That I write, type pain
Agony and despair...
Pain
Pain
Pain

Premium Member Dog Bark

I remember walking 
Through a dark alley
Eons ago. All I could hear
Was chirping crickets
About halfway, my whole body  
Violently jerked by...
Loud, furious barking....
I never saw coming!
Unchained Doberman Pinscher
Behind a fence. Boy, did it..
Scare the living hell out of me! 
I did flinch alright...

J Is For Jesus

J is for JESUS
J e s u s is for JESUS 
J is for jerked around by the ROMANS

E is for everone can go to Heaven now

S is for Someone there will love us.

U is for ewe for ewe are my adorement.

S is now for sustenance for HE is the broken bread that feeds the all of us.

The altered altar made to finish works and bless us with his countenance.

Yes ewe Eye want to see my JESUS yes.

The J stands for Jesus yes.

J is for Jesus.

Sam

Sam McRoon came from Bollon soon,
When he heard bout Galoon de Batey,
He fell in love with her, sure did swoon,
And she loved being called just Matey,

His nose did itch like it as full of pitch,
And he though upon a cure, come lately,
Jerked up the snout, cotton bud no doubt,
The vix burnt a path to his tooth platey,

Itchy ears without a fear, 
he plunged the cotton bud in,
vix lifted the wax right outa da ear,
not deef like rin tin tin,

Duel

I stand on the rail of the ferry looking back
through the rain and wind and time.
I imagine the battle between Spitfire and Messerschmitt
at wave top height.
Who will bring their guns to bear first?
In the tight turns the Spitfire is king
but the 109 climbs so much faster.
Only God would know who is the winner
as both planes fall wounded to the sea.
Who will remember the wartime duel 60years ago?
I’m jerked back to reality as rain runs down my neck.
