Short Off Color Poems

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-
ing 'brown.' Today, we impatient moderns 
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

it was off color, so I bought a soda and a some socks

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...
