Premium Member My Friend Wagon John

Wagon John was not just another old cowpoke. In conversation I heeded most words he spoke. a wagon his home, wherever he’d roam. He died alone on the trail without any kinfolk.

genuine germane gentlemen
hitchhiked a ride with Harry’s hen
implausible imperative imagination
justifying jollity and jubilation
keeping kibitzer’s kinfolk kidney keen
labyrinth of lollapalooza lawfully lean

Kindred

a pleiades

Kindred means you're related;
kinfolk share an ancestry.
Kissin’ cousins can connect,
keep in touch with family,
kidding around just for fun.
Kindness respects privacy.
Kith and kin should share spirits.

Premium Member Back Pain

Back pain comes when I am old,
After a lifetime of being bold.
Can I ever find relief?
Kinfolk give advice beyond belief,
Perhaps they will just shut up
And let me suffer to make me tough~
Instead I lie upon my bed, 
Neglecting cobwebs overhead

Premium Member Billy Carter Beer

Billy Carter was a sluggard I hear

   His kinfolk he did not always endear

      He embarrassed his brother

         And mortified his mother

            He cared not one whit as he nursed his beer!

effectual effective effort
fortified Fred’s frenzied format
generating general genealogical gems
heaping habitual happiness
igniting impetus imperturbable inklings
justifying Jerry’s jerky juxtaposition
kindling kindred kinfolk
lamenting Larry’s lollygagging legalities
making melodious melodies

In the Morning

In the morning I awoke
Why not have one more toke
So around I did poke
and that's no joke
Were the hell is my smoke
Now before I awake the kinfolk
There's something I must invoke
It's chicken I must choke
That means it's time to pee
And that you will not see
Is what that it causes, Is much glee

Premium Member Jaunty Jovial Jackleg Lawyer

jovial jackleg lawyer was no jewel
pro-bono sounded good until we met this fool
he had a jaunty way, but jaundiced jibber jabber
We sent him packing and hired Flim Flam, a flibber flabber
F.F. was a jellyfish full of jovial jiggery-pokery
Jocundity justice was now playing with my kinfolk from Muskogee

Ain'T Never Not Eaten On Thanksgiving

And this one is quite the same...
So the kinfolk has gone off...
Does it matter?
No.....


Just ease over to the next town....
Where's a cracker barrel 
Or sisters of the south
.....and feast away 
Thanksgiving day....

An epic feast...


The following day is the first day if the Christmas season...
Not black friday

in th' tongue o' sea scallywags
th' piratin' yarn tha' ne'er did birth
no' fanciful, nor folly
jes' stew'd up prob'ly

Tharrr be nary no Cap'n

th' kinfolk in verse ter regale 
'tis no genius at play 
th' scribe o' yon day 
be feath'rin' a no'sensical tale

Christmas Every Christmas, our close kinfolk arrive. We share our love, great gifts, good food. Round the table, we all hold hands and pray; give thanks and praise that now one more Christmas was shared jointly with love. Sandra M.

Kinfolk

Kinfolk so long remembered
of fine people, so gentle were they.

Now only a handful remains,
some gone on to a better place.

Memories of them so precious
of those kinfolk of mine.

Sitting around the table
eating our cares away,

so many Thanksgivings
ago seems like yesterday.

Kinfolk miss you so,
thinking of you on this day.

Kinfolk love you and
wished you were here.

Renegades

Wooed and wedded with a devil's kiss
the renegades are here; not blessed 
on any heaven's list nor bedded 
in the womb of common decency.

Men are bleeding, truth and beauty
losing their validity; legless, heartless, 
headless, mindless, sheer insanity.

Humanity withers; kinfolk are reeling,
dealing their brothers, stealing 
another look over their shoulders, 
trust but a fantasy, justice a dream.

fabulous fabricated forlorn frenzied Franciscan fable
garnered garrulous geese gathered at Gloria’s gable
harboring a hangout for a hunter with Achille’s heel
identifying idiosyncrasies that are less than ideal
juggling jam-packed jokesters without a good joke
Keeping an eye out for kibitzers and kindly kinfolk
like-minded Lilliputian with a lullaby I like
manifesting mystical magic, then throwing down the mike

Heaven Must Be Like This

The picture of grand perfection 
Which could be known as the perfect connection

Sitting on a cloud of softness and rest
And taking your mind on a cool calming quest

Rivers flowing of milk and honey
Which is much more valuable than any money

Spirits flowing so happy and free
A wonderfully marvelous site to see

Reuniting  with kinfolk both young and old
Oh what a wonderful site to behold

Free from all the world's pain and misery
That's what Heaven is like to me

Reunion

A family get-together 
We're all here
It's a unique occasion 
At first it may appear 
Like an insane invasion 
Compensating for lost cheer
With family, held dear
Simply, be prepared to babble 
For loads of kinfolk, prattle 

It's awesome to see 
Everyone, spinning up a memory  
Touching our thoughts in say
Past time, thinking back find
Like yesterdays, we visit today
Walking magically, faraway
Through, recalling mind 
All paying tribute, without delay 
To a reminiscing find
