Premium Member Sing Sing Singer

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!

Saturday Night Special

Drawn

To sing

Crowd pleasers

Can quench their need

The karaoke stars take center stage

Kareoke

I enjoy singing karaoke
Lights, music, people, energy
Famous for a few minutes
Choose a song to perform
Take the microphone
Best performance
Others clap
Try it!

Premium Member Old Pebbles

Listen to poem:
River flows, to and fro, in rhyme,
With pebble murmurs keeping time.

Stone edges knocked and bumped smooth,
by restless, rock-roll dancing,
on time-scarred and weathered floors,
with karaoke.

Premium Member Public Speaking

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.

The Quick Fix

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

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.

Premium Member Losing My Voice

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! Ring My Bell Poetry Contest Sponsored by John Anderson 06/30/21

After the Last Song

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

Premium Member Poetry has Dual Purposes

poetry has dual purposes you know
evoking emotion, inspiring others to grow
metaphors and similes busy comparing things
sometimes so rhythmic, you can enter a karaoke sing
lines and stanzas showing the reader the way
eliciting sadness or humor in pinks, yellows and gray

Premium Member Bad Karaoke - Grook

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. Written Feb. 14, 2016 for the Grook Contest of Silent One

Meowington Square

In Catsville,
delighfully fragrant,
a musky moggy croons.
Reverb resounds
as lyrics drift
"Sugar and spice
"and all things mice!"
The Siamese star harmonises
with vociferous vocals
"Gimme Gimme Gimme
a cat stick at midnight".
amid the tender purring
of a somnolent feline.

Lips That Taste Like Wine

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

Premium Member Happy New Year To Me

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

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

Everyone Poops

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.

Dying Sighs

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

After Karaoke

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

Premium Member my astounding collie

I keep my dog’s talents all to myself
An organizer, he puts things on a big shelf
Files my taxes, sends them in too.
Taking as a reward my husband’s left shoe.

He sorts my cupboards, and my large pantry.
How much more helpful can a collie be?
Did I mention that he drives me to work and back daily.
And sings karaoke at a place called Goo Gaily.

Ah nostalgic nights

Ah, such nostalgic nights,
Twirled in skirt, wearing tights,
Music soothed our soul,
We sang along to Rock'N" Roll,
Jiving with our thunderthighs,
Supper, plates of fries,
Our tunes--"Mama Mia" too,
Does Abba mean much to you?
Part of "Kultcha" in our land,
Nostalgic nights, Karaoke band,
Good, clean wholesome fun,
Boomers in our setting sun!

Premium Member Karaoke Past Midnight--Wbm

My neighbor Mike loves karaoke
Who sings off-tune a Hokey Pokey;

          Grinds he with delight
          But it's twelve of night...

Irked, my alarm whips that voice croaky.
