Humor makes everything seem sunny
Though some things can leave our eyes runny
Gonna lighten things up
Tell some off-color smut
Sure gets one's attention especially if smutty

Throughout our lives we sometimes blunder
We assume our writings are received with humor
A failure to understand
The reaction is unplanned
The recipient recoils at the humor off-color

Found out I was colorblind, it came right out of the purple
Maybe a bit off color, that's a color of a different turtle
How weird is this cat
Something's got detached
In the dictionary the definition of me says fertile!

A word that surely had to go
Folks pronounced it 'Knee-grow'
Just as with 'shi-tte'
~ It took a big hitt-e

Note: 'sbitte' is Chaucerian-era Middle
English, pronounced 'shi-teh' and mean-

spell it with only four letters.

Never too old to have some fun
Peddling slowly with shaded eyes
Dressed to be fit in off-color Levi's
A noon-time bicycle ride out in the sun
Loving each other, loving life
So long they've lived; husband & wife
Never too old to have some fun

Lost and hungry, the sign said " fresh fruit and honey",
to buy a jar out of charity and test the fates
country stores never throw anything away-
I picked up a dusty jar and held it to the light
to see if anything was on the rot or even alive
it was off color, so I bought a soda and a some socks
I put the dirty honey back on the ancient shelf
and bid farewell to mom and pop-

~
I gaze at the sunrise,
it’s apricot view
While spending my morning
just thinking of you
It’s glow on the heavens
a magical scene
Of lemonade wishes
and cantaloupe sheen
Though still it is muted
an off color shade
As something is missing
this dawn now displayed
For until your beautiful
smile comes my way
This morn will be merely
just another day
~

I encompass a rebel within
A need for eccentricity
No trespassing signs don't win
Over my curiosity
I find it quite appealing
Sporting a sleeve of paint
Though palms erect, kneeling
I wasn't born a saint
Rules don't suit my fancy
A bit disagreeable
Guidelines make me antsy
A domesticated bull
Pleasantly off color
A delightful rose with thorns
Smelling of burnt rubber
A bow atop my horns
