Short Laughingstock Poems

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

I made the bet on who’d win the game
the Bulls looked great; my team played quite lame
dressed in clown’s clothes
with a red clown nose
the whole office will laugh without shame

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

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 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...

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....

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....
