while you coffee or drink sip
ueses the

dine with my insides
finish your last sip of my vulnerability
eat the last crumb of my dignity
load up your plate with all things necessary
for I’m an open meal, for clearly anyone.
trash me in the end...

An inch past the worst sizzlin heat
since Yahweh created Summer,
boy 'twould have been supremely sweet
to load up the trusty Hummer
and head cross the continent's breeze
to chill under mountains neath pine trees....

Feeling pretty good today, things are settling down
This calls for a celebration, perhaps a night on the town
Load up on the booze
As the good times ooze
And as per usual, play the part of a clown...

Hey all you nice people, got a fantastic idea
Let's party, we could load up on beer and pizza
Maybe dance in the moonlight
While trying to remain upright
In spite of downing six servings of tequila...

When love wears a veil
and seems to grow pale
remember, no poking allowed.
Just keep the wood warm.

Load up on fuel
vows in renewal.
Show up with favored gifts endowed,
wait for sparks to form.


for Silent One's Grook contest...

Maybe dance in the moonlight
While trying to remain upright
In spite of downing six bottles of tequila

It is easier to put your hand up,
For a free load up,
Than to put your hand up,
For a leg up.

It is easier to take more than you need,
In your hour of greed,
Than to think of others in need.

It is easier to follow what's trending,
Than to be the one who is trending....

Christmastime is here 
the time Santa elves come out and cheer
They load up Santa's old sleigh with toys and goodies for this year 
Sleigh bells jingle from the reindeer's gear as the elves get ready the sleigh 
Jolly old Santa Claus is near 
as the night of Christmas Eve draws close 
Santa lets out a ho ho 
Merry Christmas to all...

If I had a red flatbed truck I would….
Load up my house and take it for a drive, to see the sights. 
Help Santa and the elves deliver gifts on Christmas Eve.
Move Mount Everest to my neighborhood in Kansas.
Take it to the moon and pick up a crater to show off.
Haul the next alien spaceship to my sister’s house as proof.
If I had a red flatbed truck....

I'm flabby but fit
    At a bar I sit
  I play my guitar
    then squeeze into my car

  I'm dumb but I'm smart
    I buy modern art
  then I load up my cart
    to sell at flea mart

  I'm happy but sad
    'cos 2 + 2 I can't add
  Thought I'd reached nadir
    Pop bought me calculator

  I'm old but I'm young
    Come see my tongue
  Taste buds still sprout ~ 
    That's why my tummy sticks out...

When the guests all arrive
And the food tastes okay
And the grown-ups watch football
While kids get to play…

It’s a magical day,
Calm replacing all stress
Though the clean-up awaits
And the kitchen’s a mess.

Still, such feelings of warmth
Cling to every pore
And as minutes tick by
I wish there could be more.

But we hug our goodbyes
And we load up the sink.
All that prep and excitement
Dissolved in a blink....

The mission is crazy
Will we come out alive? 
The movements are dangerous 
Load up lets go

Hop in the back 
Gear ready to go
Put down your nods
That’s when you show

You can’t be stopped 
You can’t be beat 
Tonight’s the night 
Where no match you’ll meet

Infantry does it 
When no one else can
We all go in
Every time with a plan

We take out our target
We index our men
Takeoff in the air
Then get ready again...

No makeup, big glasses, and frazzled hair
I sit here sinking
Into the depths of despair

Look like a sad sight that walked out of the '80s
I feel even worse
I feel just like hades

Wish I had my book, crackers, a tissue
But that would mean getting up
Which I don't want to do

Watching Jet Li's "The One", guess it could be worse
Who am I kidding 
I was hooked at "multiverse"

Load up on NyQuil and focus on getting better
I really despise
Being under the weather...

All my friends are poets
and I'm glad that this is true.
I would probably give it up
if not for comments from you.

When I feel it's not worth posting
your comments say I'm wrong.
If it wasn't for your encouragement
I wouldn't last too long.

So this poem is written for all of you
and you know who you are.
I'd never find such loyal friends
if I traveled to a star.

Hey. Star travel. Can't you see it?
Load up the word processor, Ma.

Thanks to all of you...Lary...
