Premium Member The Ultimate Rescue

I rescue pups,
I always have.
Their eyes thank me.

Cats follow me.
They always have.
No thanks at all.

My man and I.
Rescue each other.
Always have.

     Humane?
     You pen with shame!

     No, thanks!

Want a hug? Accomodating anad willing anaconda asked me.
No thanks, I said, running toward an oak tree.
Emerald boa then lunged to try and get me.
RUN! I yelled to my slower cousin, Little Lee.

In the Anti-World

You knows? In the anti-world, all the way around.
But to live in the anti-world? No, thanks. I hate it!
Imagine only- by cats all human babies will be drown,
Or in the best case, they will be castrated.

       Feelings faint and badly shaken

    by hearts - come clean - that are now achin'

Premium Member Cambodia Delicacy

In Cambodia some diners eat a delicacy that does not entice me.
What could that be? Yes, I have to tell you, for why keep it to myself?
Here, sweetie, try some fried tarantula; do you want two or three?
Um…no thanks, please put it back, way up high on the top shelf.

Premium Member - Snow, No Thanks -

Carl was tired of winter's sharp wars
Heartless and without love, even indoors
"I'm too old to shovel snow"
He bet everything ... woe
Rio de Janeiro he adores

Premium Member A Novel Use For a Plumber's Snake

Pa hankered cheeses of every kind.

   Alas, it placed him in a painful bind!

      "For fast relief", said his wife,

         "Plumber's snakes should ease yer strife!"

            "No thanks!  I'll use Ex-Lax for my behind!"

Premium Member Space Cadets

Waiter asked if I 'd like the special sauce
   I asked him if he recommended it
He said that he did, and highly so
   What's it called then, I wanted to know
Well, it's called "flying sauce, sir."
   No thanks.  I told him I preferred sauce
   that just sits there quietly in the saucer

An April Fool's Wish

A welcome spot of rain 
Helps soothe our pain 
Why steal from the public purse?
Knowing you will reap a communal curse

Stop the export of vaccines from Sputnik
Allow importation of other brands to friends thick
Smile all the way to your own banks
Your punishment will come with no thanks

Leon

LEON, MY KING, HIS KING
IRIS, HIS QUEEN, HIS *****
I LOVE LEON
LEON IS MY KING
I WOULD DIE FOR HIM
HE WOULD KILL ME FROM WITHIN
I WOULDN'T DARE LOVE ANOTHER
LEON IS ALL I NEED
HE WOULD KILL ME SLOWLY
IF I LEFT FOR ANOTHER
I HAVE LEON THEREFORE
I HAVE LIFE
THANKS LEON FOR LOVING ME
NO THANKS FOR THIS LIFE

Lunch

The fourth bell had a horrid tone
Daily, I would choose to fast
Hiding in my bag of lies,
“No thanks man, I’m cutting weight”
Oh how I would just trade this love,
For plastic trays and meatball days
Soggy pizzas and stale chips
That is the life I desired
To be like them I hid myself
-This sack lunch is a joke

Premium Member Speech

   Libelous, slanderous speech
     singes the fuzz off of the peach

   Gossip and tale-bearing crooked ears reach
     no thanks to the mouth of the human leech…  

   Speech is God’s greatest gift to man
     employed sparingly it can

   Elevate us to the highest heights
     sacred spaces of brilliant light

Premonition

Throw around legs
Throwaway hair
Biting her tongue
Tapping the chair

Dinnertime psychology
Filling her frayed mind
Undigested memories 
Too bitter to be confined

Eighteen years 
Blurred as if one
Opaque footsteps
Of a misbegotten son

“Dessert, mom?”
“No thanks, dear.”
Her plate is empty
Her conscience clear

Premium Member No Thanks

Met with town council

     To donate flocks of pigeons

          They said no thank you

               And they told me where to go

                    And take my pigeons with me

Premium Member Callimachus: Credo



I hate political poems.  Not for me,
the human wad that clogs the great high way.
A love that’s everyone’s business?  Forget it.  A drink
from the common trough?  No, thanks.  The public:  yuck.

No - Don'T Vote For Me

No - I won't write for rankings or show
 No - this doesn't have an eloquent flow
 No - I don't like your pale, shoddy poetry
 No - thanks, it's like cheap dime store toiletry

 No - I won't play this sad, lame game
 No - It's not a colossal pity or shame
 No - Please don't cast your vote for me
 No - This is not grand - I'm sure you'll agree

Lover.

LOVER.


From withering heights
With much despair
Could I come forth
In ill repair

Without a cause 
Without a clue
Unbelievably in pain
No thanks to you

Always angry
Always sad
I so miss the days
When you were all I had

Never again
No matter what you say
Shall I take a chance
Not today



Leave me alone.
