Premium Member Footprints In the Sun

Global warming caused my cancer;
    Here I thought my lack of shirts.
Carbon footprint’s karmic answer:
    Carcinoma, just desserts.

Premium Member Just Desserts For Unfaithful

.
  Any pretty woman turned his head
  He liked them all so it is said
  Then one day to his surprise
  They no longer caught his eye
   His sexual desire totally died

Just Desserts

Sleaze Harry is a sick minded dude,
Who’s love life is all camera viewed,
So you won’t see him flirt,
But he’ll photo up-skirt...
Then complain that he hates prison food.

Just Desserts

There was a crook named  Jum Tuppence
Who stole from people of meager substance.
He tried it on an undercover cop
And was caught right on the spot.
Now Jum is due to get his comeuppance.

My boss was a sneak and a cheat.
His wife was much nicer and sweet.
She caught him with Susie,
A flaunting it floozie
And threw him right out in the street.

Premium Member Stressed Desserts

"Stressed" is just “desserts” spelled backward Do not fret, things will make a reverse traverse Bet that's a new one on you A new one on me too The English language is filled with stuff reverse

Premium Member Acme To the Rescue

I fondly remember Road Runner cartoons
That amused us until weekend afternoons
Wile E. got just desserts
On that barren desert
But I wished Acme mailed him Kevlar balloons

Premium Member The Bad Guys

In the movies, the Bad Guys always get their just desserts But no whipped cream with a cherry on top, they really got hurt Got their heads bashed in For their naughty sins After coffee and donuts, their guilt was confirmed

Lawman

Lawman
~~~~~~~
My 9 mm
Spits fire
Thirteen times
The usher of just desserts
Red orange ghost
Etched on the retinas
Of uncaring eyes
No right or wrong
Making the hard decision
So very easy
Shrouded in ebon
Becoming one
With the shadow
A vigilante

Brain Freeze

Had some strange meals in my time ostrich alligator bat and snake all went down well it seems but make no mistake altho' not going off half-cocked and yet unsure what signs it may bode of all the just desserts I like my ice cream à la mode

Plus One

Remembering
what you want to say
Forgetting
what you don’t
A writer’s choice
is zero sum
You will
until you won’t

Considering
that time well spent
Brings on 
its just desserts
Consciousness
the poet’s form
Twice forward
— once reversed

Premium Member Just Desserts

Soup, salad – appetizers
  Cookies, cake – desserts

Appetizers to whet our appetites
   Desserts to satisfy them

But what if we served desserts first
  After the entrée, would we still
    have room for appetizers… 

Dispense with the appetizers
  There’s always room for desserts

Just Desserts

i will never
deserve her
but i will serve
her always as a

more then 
just as a main
course but as she
should of course be 

served as
the entire
menu and
you know

i don't drink
coffee but love
to eat dessert and
so not to order you but

ask if
you'll be
my banana
split with whip

cream

Premium Member Snidely Whiplash

You villain, you fiend
We booed you each Saturday
When you came on the screen.

We shrieked, and we hollered
For Dudley Do-Right to make short work of you
We loved it when justice prevailed
And your just desserts were due.

Snidely Whiplash
You villain, you fiend.
Capturing Polly Purebred.
You were utterly mean!

A Church Called Ransom

Ransom
God’s church
worship here
or the puppy gets it

‘s paused entrance
muted celebration
muffled scream
and shout

Ransom
God’s church
worship here
or the puppy gets it

‘s just desserts
viewed destruction
failed backers
who blame

Ransom
God’s church
worship here
or the puppy gets it

‘s selected boxes
disposed choices
removed at

Ransom
God’s church
worship here
or the puppy gets it.

Premium Member King Arthur's Proclamation

I knight thee
master chef of the Royal S Soup
let them pick their poison
and serve them their just desserts
little cupcakes hiding in the pan
why even peter was more of a man
Every kings chef has a great kitchen
The masons have built you a great stoic oven
lets put this to good use
after we shall have an ale or two
along with some laughs
leprechauns and trolls we turned
to ash

Silly Goose

Sometimes, the pernicious
is just desserts like alveoli
losing pink to a ciggy devil
Love - an enterprise astral
yields to blemish: mockery

Garish sentry sneers, reflecting
on a visage muting its boo-hoo
on a traverse still willed in woo
Silly teeter-totters with serious
editing tears that dampen a life…

Taking Back the Whip

Master, Master I am drowning in your flood of commands
Unable to make my own needs known
I won't stand for this anymore
Crawling back upon my throne
Careful not to loose my grip again
Just call me Queen from now on
I rule here now
Your reign of dominance has come to an end
Just in time For me to give you your just desserts
I am your ruler now
Accept it Master
You are the slave now
Because I have taken back the whip

My Best Friend

the most unstable best friends/
together till life's end/
You are the tornado/
And I am the volcano/
we clash and it's epic
We hurt, need a medic
It's a beautiful disaster, I love the way it hurts/
I'm a bad person I guess, the pain is just desserts/
But I love it when we laugh, the connection is so real/
Our friendship is everlasting, my heart enjoys the feel/
learned that not to screw with Alexis/
She's tougher to mess with than Texas/

Premium Member Viva Ukraine

Viva Ukraine.

You can shoot them
You can bomb them
You can send missiles
You can send tanks
You can send soldiers
You can break houses
You can blow up flats
You can demolish airports
You can send your fire
You can’t break their spirit
You can’t shoot their souls
You will never conquer
You will always look behind
You will look in shadows
You will walk on nerves
You will go home in bags
You will get just desserts!
Viva Ukraine!

The Intern

Browning carpets
Stained cement
You’re lending time to those far spent
Catering to hands that won’t lift to plows
But you tell others they deserve
Can’t fall in line with those that won’t give just desserts

Assigned here with rumbling bellies 
They will multiply
Disconnect and disruption herein lies
You will never return
Loving is a burden
What did God mean?
This is not your purpose
Not your good

You sign in, check out
Count the hours
Get the credit
And honor Lot’s wife
