Premium Member Brother For Sale

Brother for sale twenty five cents.
Sister is in the free box. Come get her.
She comes with toys and a red balloon.

Sadie has been singing this song for fifty years.
No takers yet.
But she is buying bigger boxes.


Premium Member Night Sky

Holy cow
The night sky
Is filled with shooting stars, wow
Splendid, my reply
Honorable display
Seeing white specks
Flying across the canvas, yay
There were no takers on the bets
Finally, as I must
I depart the darkest sky
Leaving a grand memory, just
I'll never forget, and I won't cry

Premium Member To Beckon Beauty

A craftsman's bowl in glass
    resting on the table
  Unsure if for dainties meant
    or for short-stem flowers, its intent

  Her sides reach outward, fingers
    beckon beauty to enter there and stay 
  No takers found she, but her spirit unbowed
    sunlight-kissed glass by small setbacks uncowed

Frog Kissing Booth

The animals on the 
farm are having
their annual county
fair.

Frogs from the pond
have agreed to
set up a kissing booth,

so far no takers,
except other frogs,
but for 50 cents,

it's a good deal, all
the proceeds go to
homeless farmers,

so come on down,
kiss a frog, hey
it's for a good cause.

A Quick Feel

I’ve set up a mammogram service
On a stall outside the bakers
Been sitting ‘ere for hours
But I aint not ‘ad no takers
I can’t understand their reluctance
‘cause, it only takes a minute
To put my hand inside their bra
To check what they keep in it 
Now this simple operation
Could put their minds to rest
If only they would let me ‘ave
A quick feel of their breast

Premium Member I'D Rather Pick Flowers

If I weren't afraid, I'd pluck some dainty flowers
Be unashamed of mostly women at showers,
Stand with you dressed in choir robes and singing hymnals,
Be sweet like a kitty not roar like animals
Hold infant with both hands, and not catch a fly ball,
Be very nice and kind with my mother-in-law,
Chewing gum and smiling, not crunching jawbreakers,
Great in mid-life with no crisis, and no takers.
