heart attack transformed
cruelty zapped...

my name
is something nicer
than what I actually
am

call me the pleasant
words
instead of calling me
out on my reality....

my ex calls me a hun
                                    sounds nicer coming from
                                    the quick stop girl...

In France they don’t call it a pothole
Instead they call it a hen’s nest
It sounds much nicer doesn’t it?
But for drivers, they’re still a pest...

Two in love call it a gift.
A love that knows no end.
In safe space, it will have no rift.
Faithfully, they each have a friend.

stop following me 
with your knives
with your flowers

I think shadows
would be nicer 
in colours, I said, 

you agreed
doing your bit
for the apocalypse...

She was a disillusionist
Sarcastic and quite nasty.
I hired a doodlebug to capture her
I paid him rather well.
She came out a nicer worker ant.
Having survived that larva hell....

It’s a new beginning, they say.
Nicer weather, we pray
“Birds chirping” all day
I think otherwise…
School won’t end…
Thunderstorms, trees bend.
Rain is all I hear, tell a friend!...

when spring has sprung you will be there,
summers coming sure,
the perfume smell is in the air,
nothing's nicer more,
nature restrung...

thank you Sara Kendrik...

Dear Winter, sorry we're breaking up
Summer is a lot nicer and bikinis show ladies' butts
Fall really sucks
But Spring wakes us up
So Summer wins my vote no matter what...

My boss was a sneak and a cheat.
His wife was much nicer and sweet.
She caught him with Susie,
A flaunting it floozie
And threw him right out in the street.

Tina Fey as Palin;
Alec Baldwin’s Trump:
Both coaxed many smiles
From a nation in a slump.

Add to that McCarthy
With a spot-on riff on Spicer.
Laughing on these gloomy days
Just couldn’t feel much nicer!...

M-orning has just broken, 
A-iming to ascend so high; 
R-ise of the sun begins, 
K-issing the dark good-bye. 

E-arly light shines above, 
T-wenty-sixth November; 
H-appiness and ecstasy 
A-re both much 
N-icer....

After the storm of yesterday
The fog drifted in cool
Thick_damp covering everything
Thanks clouds minuscule

Out on  the porch so much nicer
Quiet rules the morn
In great fog I am delighted
But fog's wet on the corn...

I once knew a bright lad from Kinderhook
He cruised the library for a book
A gal he met in the lobby,
Said she knew a nicer hobby
And her hint for the lad was all it took.

I must have told you once,
I must have told you twice,
when will you listen?
I'm giving important advice.

I told you more than twice,
I told you more than thrice,
It's nice to feel important,
It's much nicer to be nice....

Funny bunnies, Honey,
Costa lotta money!

So do pretty posies,
Panties, chocs and roses.

If I had a packet,
I could really hack it … 

But you can’t buy prezzies 
If you don’t have readies.

Nicer far than this is 
Hugs and kisses, Missus!...

Everything changes, 
Right before her eyes.
Transforming you 
With the strength of desire.

And now you're beautiful;
her scars are concealed.
Don't you love
the way this feels?

Cause it's so much nicer
on this side of the glass....

If we knew our loved one’s end date
would we be nicer?

Spend more time listening?
Give hugs more often?

Fix them their favorite foods each day?

What if we knew our own end date?

What would we do differently?

Do these things....

The average dog is a nicer person than the average person
No question about it especially our Golden Retriever version
We've got one of those
So I make her wear clothes
Of course Annie our Golden isn't wild about this diverion...

Surely there must be a place
higher than this blue sky we sight...
A place perhaps most tangible, 
less crumbly than this clay 
that when we touch
turns to dust...
A place in which we are spirits
unbreakable and undying... !
It might have.... !...

I am ugly, now that's me
I wanna go and climb a tree
in order not to have to
stand all of you
because it would be nicer in a zoo
than to be stared at by you
I feel so bad
and I feel so weak
I'm gonna shoot my head
because I don't want any more heat...

She walks inside me,
Sharp click of boots
Echoing through the caverns

Electric memory blurred fuzzy
Like static on a TV screen
Each step, a tremor in my heart

A rose garden weeded, bleeds
Through my dirt-stained hands
Nicer, neater, but not the same...

Prawn and Winkle Custard

Prawn and Winkle Custard
A delicacy and delight
Much nicer than Pilchard Jelly
Sounds disgusting and contrite
I’m partial to Bat wing stew
Though not to the taste of all
But as for Squid legs soup
Yuk, that makes my Stomach crawl...

Mr. Nutty, 
you're m'buddy,
you never were a fuddy duddy. 
There's a pattern, 
you're from Saturn, 
they shoulda made you the Green Lantern. 
Zen Kabbalah, 
Mr. Allah, 
did you ever play in Walla Walla? 
No one's nicer, 
jezus cry sir!, 
boogie woogie on a synthesizer!...
