Short Loaner Poems

A photocopier without toner
Sometimes becomes an office loaner
I was no exception
So I sold confections
Becoming invaluable to my owner....

Over and Over and Over
But Wait
It's Over
Love Drunk
Chewed Up By Hate
Sober
Lower and Lower and Lower
Let Go
Sink Lower
Attention Starved
Craving Affection
Loaner
Slower and Slower and Slower
Too Fast
Slower
No One Really Knows Her...

Decided to rent my heart, known as a happiness loaner
My love of this earth and all things beautiful totally runneth over
With my advancing years, it seems
My love has become more extreme
But please be aware, the heart I offer is really only a loaner...

Decided to rent out my heart, I'm known as a happiness loaner
My love of this earth and all things beautiful do totally runneth over
With my advancing years it seems
My love has become more extreme
But please be aware the heart that I offer is really only a loaner...

I SAW A NICE BEHIND AT WALMART
                               IS IT YOURS?

                   That behind isn't a loaner
                  She walks like she owns it
                   Don't think of phoning her
               She'll turn that behind around
                  And bend you upside down...

Little stray dog
Lost in the fog
All skin and bone
Where is your home?

Got no pet-food
(YOU ain't no prude!)
Just want a smidge
Let's look in the fridge...

Scarf down sweet-pickles?
(The starvin' ain't fickle!)
Raisin bran gone
Still here at dawn...

LORD, you gettin' fat
As a lazy house-cat
But you're just a loaner
('Til I find your true owner)...

body am owner
no longer are a loaner
became body donor

what would make me mad
cheated counting hanging chad
which we knew was bad

hard been hard to bare
chiropractor met my prayer
now can climb each stair

my back has an arch
now stand straight when we march
in clothes is much starch

hurt from head to feet
to adjust he did repeat
my pain did deplete

back was out of line
adjusted back which is mine
now am feeling fine...

i am in front of you
i am on your side
i am something
you can't see with eyes
just like a whisper
warm as a breath
strong as the thing
inside your chest
i am not many
i am only one
i follow no man
i follow the sun
an i walk alone
so they call me a loaner
i have no leash
so i have no owner
when i finally do stop
it will be my choice
they can take my mind
but not my voice
i won't change my words
for the powers that be
i am a force
the force of me...
