I once knew a songster from Skokie
Who was thrown in the Sing Sing pokey
They claimed he was off key
And his voice was croaky
So he killed them at karaoke!...

Drawn

To sing

Crowd pleasers

Can quench their need

The karaoke stars take center stage

A singer whose name’s Carrie Oakey
Was hoarse, sounding terribly croaky
Carrie burst into tears
When folks covered their ears
She’s thankful her gig was just low key

Do you have a fear of public speaking?
Perhaps you should engage yourself with a little karaoke singing.
Afterwards, if you can look at yourself and laugh,
public speaking should become a less challenging task....

Give us the quick fix
The easy way out
A heady dose of
Instant gratification
And we'll forget about 
The intellectual annihilation
Of sixty second news 
On BBC Three
Then prime-time karaoke
From deadbeats on ITV...

The Man in the Pokey

There once was a man in the pokey.
He was dancing; his movements were hokey.
He jiggled and jumped.
Then fell on his rump.
So he sat there and sang karaoke.

I
attempt
to sing a song
hubby covers his ears
says I sound like a cat in pain
so I’ll never attempt karaoke
though I was once head chorister
in a
choir!

I look to the sky
a dark friendly sky

music stilled spotlights fade
I look for stars in the sky

friends offer last hugs
under a cover of clear sky

darkness opens its arms
I embrace a welcoming sky

promises of many tomorrows
whisper an endless sky...

Encouraged by the masses
is mediocrity,
like when someone at a bar
sings bad karaoke.
As they belt out notes off key,
we might give guffaws.
Drunken with good will, though,
we offer up applause.

I have lost control
From just one kiss
Intoxication I can’t resist
Red wine your flavor

Tantalizing lips
Tongue tasting divine
Eyes of alcohol
90 proof

Another kiss I wish
Keep the bar open
I need to come in 
Karaoke songs

We sing together
Another round
Two more shots 
A home run...

Happy New Year!
*
I discovered on this recent New Year's Eve
how many drinks it takes in order to get me
to dance on the bar while singing karaoke.
The amount of drinks I consumed totaled three.
I drink like a girl. Happy New Year to me!
...and to all of you as well most sincerely.
 Damn, my head is killing me....

I will never fly a plane
Or sail the seven seas
I will never roller skate
Or go down hill on skis
I will never hang glide
Or ride in a hot air balloon
I will never sing karaoke
Because I can't carry a tune
I will never scuba dive
Or climb a mountain high
I know I won't ever do these things
For I won't even TRY...

You should not be embarrassed
or shy when sometimes something
embarrassing taints your pride;
it can be a karaoke gone wrong,
a misspelling of a verse in church,
wardrobe dysfunction in a public space....
You should remember that everyone poops-
no need to hide as you get into the toilet;
it's part and parcel of life....

She sighs,
clenches her fists,
and dies...

Again and again,
an incessant drumming 
that pounds at almost midnight

uncaring, so loud, too loud
like those awful karaoke singers
 who think they can sing,
but of course can't

small parts of her die each time
she takes the time to think

she unclenches her fists
in silence...

music lingers
streetlights
shine stars
man and woman
sleeping in shadows
the library’s closed
an intimate voice
on the radio
as I drive home
midnight
the spell is cast
midnight
as I drive home
on the radio
an intimate voice
the library’s closed
sleeping in shadows
man and woman
shine stars
streetlights
music lingers
