Former President Sits On His Yhuge Rump

Former President Trump
Sat on his awesome "yhuge"rump,
Dreaming of having his ultimate revenge
While on a drug and vengeance Benge.

note:  misspelled huge as "Yhuge" because the former President mispronounced it that way and comedians mocked him for it for years.

I found today
I found a start
Along the way
I found my heart

I felt the pace
I felt the beat
I saw her face
I felt the heat

I fumbled nouns
I fumbled verbs
I mispronounced 
I slurred my words

I felt her hand
Caress my face
I understand 
I found my place

Cruel Words

Early on
 When I was young
Teachers would
 Ask me to speak
Quickly then
 All would hear
That I
 Mispronounced my words
Some didn’t
 Think it real
Others just
 Pointed and mocked
Quickly I
 Tried not to speak
And learned
 To hate reading out loud
Doctors worked
 For many long years
Till I
 Could be understood
Memory lingers
 And still it is
Very hard
 To read out loud

I Took An O From the Next Wrd

addded a d as i please
mispelt misspelt
carrried an extra r
mispronounsed mispronounced
elongated should be longer
shrinks don't reduce the poem
they just show you what you didn't know
in every dictionary its always spelled incorrectly
drew your eyes to a drawing drawn of dawn dawning
the parts of light split are so pretty
will i tell you something
something whispered low
the crackled cackle of smirk
the taste of apple candy wrapped

I think it is funny how OFTEN we are wrong, 
How we don’t speak the right way,
How words that are written throughout the LIBRARY, 
Aren’t the words that we say,

From FAUX PAS to ALMOND, to ET CETERA, 
GENRE, and FILM, and BOUTIQUE,
Commonly miss said, uttered all wrong, 
Razing the way that we speak,

I think it’s important we clean up this CHAOS, 
Our enunciation becomes understood,
And we clean away DEBRIS of mispronounced words, 
That we talk, you know… proper and good.
