Premium Member That's My Crime

If love is a prison then I’m doin’ my time
I don’t need a phone call, I don’t need a dime
If passion is a lock up, then throw away the key
I love you too much, that’s my crime…

Ode to a Highway Star

Lock up your daughter,
My wheels gonna slaughter,
Heading along the road,
Race ya, drive this load,
Beat you all, speed patrol,
Trailblazer, this my role,
You'll never catch my page,
I'm the star of this whole stage!

Stripes

I love a shirt with stripes across
And own more than a few.
The colors vary and the styles 
Though stripiness shines through.

If I had gone to prison
When the garb was black and white,
I would've hated lock-up
But the uniforms? All right!

Upstairs Racers

All the noise from upstairs is outrageous.
They should lock up thier children in cages.
But it is`nt the children I blame.
I`ts thier parents who made this a game.
They run all day long.
They`re like Gold Medal strong.
Everyday`s like a day at the races.

Premium Member Johnny a Ladies Man

Lock him up, throw away the key.
Giggles and titters.
I am not kidding, it’s Johnny,  girls.
Lock up your hearts. He is a ladies' man.

We thought they were being funny.
We were immune to bad boys like this.
Until we met him.
And by then it was too late.

Three Words

If you could lock up three words
to keep forever,
that were yours and yours alone

What three would you choose
that were not ‘I Love You,’
your heart to save and own

Three magical words
to live within,
now yours forever more

Three magical words
to light the way
—and open every door

Pain Medication

All of my pain
That I have had
For so long
Is now starting to fade
All away
The pain in my legs
The pain in my arms
The pain is even
In my head
I wish I was dead
But now has faded
Into my heart
Where I will lock up
All the pain
From the last
Couple of years
The only thing left
In my world
Will be the bottle
That says
Pain medication

Premium Member Ministers of Truth

Each time Trump says the country’s a wreck,
they go out to the roads to inspect.
If Woody Woodpecker
had had a fact checker,
they’d be feeling his feathers to check.

On The View though, they all get a pass
when Whoopi cushions spew forth their gas.
Trump will jail your miscarriage,
end interracial marriage,
and lock up his opponents en masse.

Ok

When I wake from this nightmare everything will be OK.
Night will have succumbed to day and I will be OK. 
Remember none of this is real, it is only an illusion so just choose not to feel.
Lock up, shut down, outside your mind the sun is on its' way.
So cling to your hope just long enough for the light to chase the darkness and all of its' cruelties away.

From the Heart

If i owned a fortress
I would lock up..
Mine rebellious heart

So that it loves no more
So that it hurts no more
So that it desires no more

But this mine heart
You love to hurt 
With a longing
That's never satiated

The more it gets 
The more it desires
The more it hurts
The more it yearns

For a lovers moment
Kisses as the sun..
Dives beyond the ridges

Old Tom

Old Tom


I've fed Old Tom 
for many years 
with never any thanks,
not one meow.

He comes at night 
with eyes ablaze.
I crack the door
and slide a tin 

of Fancy Feast
across the deck
toward him 
like a puck. 

He hunkers
on the railing till
I lock up.
Then he pounces.

The tin's a mouse, 
you see, 
and finally
it's time to eat.

Keith Vaz and All That Jazz

So farewell Keith Vaz, we don’t really mind
Whether you steered from the front or behind
But the coke was a bit of an epic fail
What’s that, you’re snorting, I didn’t inhale?

So hello Keith Vaz, you’re still knocking about
You can lock up yer closet now yer out
And maybe hang out with Osborne and stuff
Isn’t he a bit of a powder puff?

Lock Up

<                             once there was a girl locked in closet
                               dear old dad said well thats what you get
                               little did he come know
                               let out by little bro
                               but recaptured by moms fishing net

What I Deserve

I thought I was done being like this. 

Until I got excited, then I felt disabilities’ kiss. 

Lock up my inflection!

So I may not face infliction-

Of a wasted hope that was left for me. 

Give it to a savant, who we all agree-

Deserves not to rot in the future. 

Who deserves to be featured. 

To represent the person we all want to be.

Who has hope of being trained, to be normal and free.

Love Letter

Nothing so sweet to read
as love letter in ink
it’s official document of deceit

Though packed with lies
clothed in oversize suits
heaped with looted words,
words that may mean nothing
praises that can sit on a good meal
you surely search for a mirror,
lock up yourself in bathroom
to affirm goodness in contents
The smuggled words
tantalize you with truth
that may be as rare
as water in the Sahara

Premium Member Zen and the Art of Gaslighting

It's time for is to do what we've been doing and that time is every day
~Vice President Kamala Harris

Everyday we wake up
And do the same old thing,
Been that way since January 2021.

Doing the same old thing 
Has created:
     open border
     inflation
     supply crisis
     energy dependence
     Afghan disaster
To name a few.

Let's lock up the unvaccinated,
Because that will fix everything!

Madness Within

Who is to judge
Those inflicted with madness
Officers, doctors or magistrates of the law
Maybe, philosophers
But, I say no one
But, the Almighty God

Many shades within a society
Yet, we deem ourselves sane
When we lock up the derelict
And throw away the key
Are not their minds already locked away

But, who’s to say they are the insane
And we ordinary, common and normal
Because, typically aren't our lives
Already in fear, locked away also?

Where I Wanna Be

Where I wanna be, is this place
I’ll stay until dawn breathes its light
And night slips away
To behold your eyes

Your countenance shines 
Brighter than glorious rays
And at the breath of its light  
Even the thickest night, obeys

I’ll lock up myself in your embrace 
And throw the keys faraway
For I want to behold your face
Till my hairs turn grey 

To be more like you
Is my only plea
And in your presence is, 
Where I wanna be

Please Ol Master

The ol master was fast asleep
                 In his bedroom,a little mouse creeped
                 He stood on the floor by the masters bed
                        And made his request
                        Please ol master
                 Leave out a chunk of cheese
                 And i won't gnaw on your sleeve
                 One day i'll grow into a big rat
                          Please ol master
                          Lock up your cat

Waiting Too Long

i don't think you know this
so let me expain
i can't hold this in
it will drive me insane
im falling quite fast
nothing shielding the blow 
im falling in love
but your falling too slow
i will try to hold on 
just for a while
but im not waiting long
 im losing my smile
i thought you felt the same
but i guess i was wrong
waiting for love 
that is taking too long
so once again i will lock up my heart
i will save it for someone who wants to take part
