I no longer give a dime...

Stole rhymes
          nine times

        For naught
          got caught

        No jail
          jumped bail

        Snatched verse
          I'm cursed...

Rob Gronkowski, known as 'the Gronk'
A football star chiseled from rock, no 'policy wonk'
   At the top of his game, retired at age twenty-nine
   A star who saw stars ~ concussed at least nine times...

WHIMSY  
                             
        Elizabeth Taylor the queen of beauty
       Marvelous actress of super quality.
                  Fond of making love
                   As does cooing dove.
     Nine times wedded, whimsy marriage-celebrity.

Lake Superior, Gitche Gumee
November winds, fear starts boiling.
The ship creaks, groans, twists, water spumy; 
Thoughts of loved ones waiting on shore pushed aside.
Evil eye of the storm is coiling
And springs to release twenty-nine souls into the debris.
The church bell twenty-nine times is tolling....

Twenty-nine cavities
My dentist said,
Gleefully twenty-nine times
Twenty-nine novacaines
Fun as twenty-nine
Parking fines
Half as many root-canals
Half as many frightening dreams
Half as many muffled
Dental equiptment blocked screams

Twenty nine appointments
To dread twenty nine days
Twenty-nine times to stumble out,
In twenty-nine a dental haze...

Pain is another form of Pleasure
I explore it Deeply
By diving into the Seas of Sorrows
To connect with agony,
While I suck the life force of Mother Earth.
I see the Horned one coming forth
Quietly he tells me,
To turn the Key nine times
And open the treasure box,
Hidden in Ocean's Depth
Holding the Secret of Eternity. 
As the horned one disappears
He Whispers:
Duality is the Key....

Nine times I call you yet you have no ears;
Eight times I follow you yet your standing right,  here 
Seven times I embrace you yet you pull away;
Six times your emotions fall
 I forgive you come here
Your emotional toil your outburst 
allow me to embrace you once more 
With full empathy, I feel how you hurt

Longingly, desire to see your face

Achingly, missing your company

Jealously, checking on your emails

Languishing, in your caressing arms

Surreptitiously, following you

Suspecting, your infidelity

Persuading you, to do what I want

Laughing, when you say unfunny jokes

Nine times out of ten, your forgiveness


(Common traits of people who say they are in love)

Got my first bike at nine, its color was red, 
fell off nine times and bled from my legs, 
ma covered my scratches and cuts with nine bandages,
barely nine, I drove my dad's car and crashed,
nine kisses and hugs I gave to beautiful Lucy, 
got whipped more than nine times for playing hooky,  
nine stitches on my head for jumping a fence, 
I had nine glasses of cold milk for breakfast...
nine times I burped and made my classmates laugh!...

Nine days and she is counting until
Her age will be nine times nine plus nine
She wears a size nine dress, she reminds
Tells me please do not make such a fuss
Nine times I tell her not to worry
Simply dress yourself up to the nines
And we will celebrate your birthday
With all nine times nine candles plus nine
Everything will surely work out fine!

Say it once…
And I’ll be happy.
Say it twice…
And it’ll sound sappy.

Say it three times…
And I’ll just think of you.
Say it four times…
And I’ll just dream with you.

Say it five times…
And I’ll never whine.
Say it six times…
And I’ll be on cloud nine.

Say it seven times…
And I’ll be speechless.
Say it eight times…
And I’ll go breathless.

Say it nine times…
And I’ll fall for you.
Say it ten times…
And I’ll be in love with you....

Nine Times Out Of Ten

Nine times out of ten, I would help a stranger,
Nine times out of ten,I would need help from another,
Nine times out of ten, I would pray for a better day,
Nine times out of ten, I would say there is no better day than  this day,
Nine times out of ten, I would say were blessed,
Nine times out of ten, I would say what a mess,
Nine times out of ten, I said we were happy,
Nine times out of ten, I would say those bad times never happen...............

Iron gates guard the entrance,
to the natural grounds.
Deer rest without any fear,
behind rows of mounds.
The pathway winds back and forth,
Sun hangs low in the west.
The spirits call out our names,
from ground that has been blessed.
In an altered state of mind,
making the proper signs.
We escaped mischief that day,
as the clock struck nine times.
We headed for the exit,
feeling like we had sinned.
With our hearts still beating fast,
we flew home like the wind....

Sultan of Nanobad bed nine wives,
each of them for each day of the week,
but he would bed two for each weekend!
His first wife he married for wisdom,
the second for her poetic skills,
the third and fourth for their pretty looks,
the fifth to run culinary drills!
He would brag the rest “for my pleasure”…..
but wives loved him only for treasure!

"You say you want a revolution" screamed the four,
John, Paul, George and Ringo beat down the door.
Melody and harmony and Brit sex appeal gone anti-war
Nine times round the turn table with Yoko, hardcore. 
Fab stereo artists with composite collages for musical scores,
they kicked, whined, smoked and dined in venues top-drawer.
Number 9 was the cut most radical by lore
chaos, poetry, and prose composed with sound effects galore,
a sandwiched montage of "what are you looking for?"...
