The sleeping muse who knows the truth,
In order not to break the roof,
Will give me membership tomorrow:
As paid by verses without sorrow......

Good people stand
When forced to kneel
Push my head
against the barrel
you point against my head
I hand in my membership to humanity
lets be something else...

A Pin Setter’s Union fee hike
Saw splits from the membership spike
With 7 of 10 there
Not much room to spare
You certainly can’t go on strike

to be better
handing back my membership card
choosing to be something new
but still
The darkness shadows all
death in percentages
the last plant grew
and we knew...

Ye Ole Grande Fart Society
Has a worldwide membership of 100% daily
A cloud above us all
In a hole you wanna crawl
Too much deodorant causes quite a haze...

Gifted a premium membership
I want to do a joyful backflip
But that may cause great harm
A sincere thanks with charm
Effort to write more I shall let rip

These confessions, what do they mean?
Is she about to retire from the SOUP site?
Maybe she feels he has more rights ... not quite!
Meaning members deserve more benefits ... to write?...

Cute Casket Now Fill

Did drive dangerously taking a spill;
Died and my cute casket  I now fill;
In bright sun baking;
Then  heaven taking;
Premium membership never paid bill.

The beauty of nature doesn't allow for ownership
Count your lucky stars, we're all here to witness it
Nature is alive everywhere
The morning sun, the summer air
Say thank you each day for life's membership...

splashing their laughter
         falls rush over resting rocks -
   the woods whisper 'hush'

(In my membership area it says "NA" but I see lots of congrats underneath
it, so I do not know what that is about! I even got a trophy it looks like!)...

Rhoda gave me a gift
She gave my spirit a lift

But at her hurt or dismay
This act came into play

Rhoda gave me membership
As she was leaving the ship

I do not know why she left
She said it was complicated I'm bereft

My gain and her loss
A gift at a great cost...

turkety,  lurkety
Saul, king of Israel
green-eyed with envy shouts,
“I’ll cut your throat.”

groundless, irrational
obsessitivity.
David, the next king squeals,
“I cut your coat.”

Enough poison left inside
To keep me close to the healer,
Paddling alone only
Creates whirlpools. 

Together side by side
Power of testimony
Spurring us on.

Power of words
Making grown men cry
Power of stories
Made real to all.

Membership is free
But we’ve all paid dearly....

writer from my childhood
so very warm

worked to support family

who taught tenderness
which she did conform

Hot and in house will remain,
And hope it does rain.

ice skating was not his dear wife’s forte,
so he bought her membership for birthday,
she started with a skid and fall,
view of her crotch was free for all,
“ dear”, said he, “if you need nickers, please just say!”

Money somesay can bring you happiness
a big house and flash car.

Good relationships and gym membership, but without your health is any off this worth the stress?

Working long hours to pay the bills, less time spent with the family.  Long days, sleep deprived over worked and over stressed.

Just remember my friend your health is your wealth....

Acceptance of life—
The hassles and strife,
With moments of mirth;
No utopia on earth.

Acceptance of self—
In sickness and health,
With humanly flaws;
Just because.

Acceptance of others—
As imperfect sisters and brothers,
From birth and past prime;
Fallibility membership—A lifetime.

“I’m not old – I’m retro”
Says the sign that looks antique.
I bought it ‘cause I liked 
Its sassy message, tongue-in-cheek.

But really, who embraces old
Or elderly or aged?
Why, even senior can be wrong
When someone’s years are gauged.

So I will stick with retro
‘Cause it sounds so cool and hip.
Come join my Retro club – 
It’s an exclusive membership!...
