Premium Member A Sailor In Norfolk

A sailor aboard ship in Norfolk
was always quick with a ludicrous joke
Though his humor was lame
he quit the ship to seek fame
Now he's the laughingstock of Roanoke

Premium Member One Offers a Jabberwock a Seat

No course in courtesy is complete,
unless it has a proper syllabus
replete
with correct conduct on a bus:

Though that slob's not one of us,
just a bumbling laughingstock,
and a burbling  jabberwock,
one must offer him a seat.

Patriot Fire

A laughingstock of history …
America right now
Fifty years of turning left
leading further down

Words alone can’t fix it
so little time remains
Freedom anything but free
—with liberty in flames

Derision

"Mirror reflection,"
the heart asks, “is this the face
you take to the grave?”
                ***

Note:
Derision: the use of contemptuous ridicule, mockery or scorn (laughingstock).

Premium Member The Gig Is Up

The gig is up, his fine wife said
    I know you've been cheating on me
  My feelings may not matter to you
    but I shall not a laughingstock be

  So here are your things, all of your stuff
    You're never to come here again
  For if you do, the new pit-bull in back
     will escort you to his private dungeon


Love Can Bring Peace

Love can bring peace home and abroad 
God is Everything please love God 
For your betterment do good work 
Rock the stadium won’t you rock 
Shower your favours don’t tall talk 
When you can run fast please don’t walk 
Don’t make yourself a laughingstock 
Don’t keep wisdom by key and lock
Make the world daylight one o’clock

Tilted Halo, Crooked Crown

You’ve tried to make my name into a laughingstock
You’ve tried to fill my heart with discontent
You’ve tried to add scorn to my name
You’ve tried to bring damnation upon my home
You’ve tried to bring me and my family to shame
You’ve tried to fill my brain with thoughts of ending life
but now you want to tilt my halo into your crooked crown!

Premium Member The Sixers

On the hardwood court, they don't play very well.
Their shooting and defense really look like hell.
They have been piling up the losses this season.
Mediocre play has been the ultimate reason.
For their game tickets, I will pay no money.
The team's management must not think it is funny.
This squad is the laughingstock of the NBA.
Perhaps they will get their act together someday.

Dark Rhyme

what do you call a creature, 

, whom even death refuses rest. 



being chipped away piece by piece, 

it suffers death of the spirit, 

and heaven turned it way,rejecting it iternal peace , 



an unatural body is a sham, 

when deprived of a soul 

it is a laughingstock in the place of the damned. 



I hear the toll of the bell chimes, 

for now I'll leave you to ponder, 

the answer to my dark ryhmes.
