Limerick:  Once a Prince from the Kingdom Toikey

Once a Prince from the Kingdom Toikey
Insisted on being wed by his turnkey
But his you may know not
Got stuck in a chamber pot
That’s how the Queen got wed by her lackey.

The Lackey
The young lackey cries
For the glorious achievements
That featured his past

His dreamy head flies
Daydreaming of contentment
That he's always last

His present is bleak
With overgrown overcoats
Torn beyond repair

His future is weak
Without the thousand banknotes
That makes life all fair...

Listen to poem:
Who are these peers to whom
I'm supposed to belong to?
Certainly not my soul mates, nor kin.
I fear they're lackey leerers,
peering and sneering,
in unsavory ways.
Smearing my reputation
by claiming I'm in their
in-crowd, all endearing
and revering when I'm not.
I'm a mutineer from 
the peer besmear,
So let's be clear about that!...

The Lost Bell
Out of the provinces, lies my line...
Toiling the toxic night, 
Nightmarish lackey of the routine... 

I, child of the leaves...
Left the soil,
My Memsahib detached... 

My soul beats the sidewalk,
A drain to a city's sidewall... 

Am a volatile turbine,
Urging my soul to rest in the shed,
Away from the jostled shadows... 

Losing time, 
I lose the fragrance of the sunshine....

Premium Member On the Eve of Camerone - Vera Cruz, April, 1863
So, the regimental adjutant is to command 3rd Company
As we escort three million francs to Puebla?
Leave it to the general to trust such a fortune 
To a band of misfits led by a staff lackey 
Who can’t even shuffle cards, hampered as he is 
By that ridiculous wooden hand.
Well, I just hope the good captain’s prick
Isn’t characterized by splinters.
We’re likely to get a good screwing 
Before we accomplish this mission....

Adios, Roseanne



Roseanne's racist tweet caused big trouble

So she voiced remorse on the double

     The Trump-loving comic

     Appeared catatonic

Her hit show was tossed to the rubble



In secret she now keeps opinions

But where are Roseanne and her minions?

     Darlene, Dan and Jackie

     Each unemployed lackey

While Rosie's still worth eighty millions

Gilty!
One man’s opulence another
Might consider tacky,
Especially when catered to
By every spineless lackey.

Yet those who rake in riches
As their empire’s being built
Should, if empathy at all exists,
Feel just a little guilt.

So many struggle just to live
While barely getting by;
Still, we hear of millions being spent
By those who rule on high.

A little gilt can be too much
And for a would-be king,
A little guilt, at least, should come
From those who kiss his ring.
