Surely, my son, you work to bless us
Off-the-cuff, like Dr. Watson, no ego, how so?
Needing no reason, you just enlighten.
The wife took a tumble downtown
And an homeless man held her down
She said (off the cuff),
"No need to play rough
An adjective describes a noun!"

boring
dissonant

disjointed,dislocated

centrepieces
of tomorrow
built with lies...
merely a means..

their ends
Coal black night
wrapped in bleached blanket
under the clear skies
stared eyes go dim and deadly
anaemic
Words go mute
off the cuff raised hand
to bid her farewell
stayed in dark softly as a
man in fog

Hubby was pottering in our garden when off the cuff,
He said I’ve looked everywhere but can't find fluff
Our cat and, must plant these pansies,
But I’ve lost my reading glasses,
Where to plant them, for now can’t hear you love.
A symptomatology buff
one morning was feeling quite rough
a cold his prognosis
no strict diagnosis
just one he thought up off the cuff.
Using the word 'symptomatology', from the Poetry Soup random word generator,

Drink earth's grape - and liquor's melting
of the sense's grim
clap the heart and soul and dance
the music's justly whim
moisten now life's hurried stance
with temporary oil
lift the spirit - tilt the glass
spin day's doldrums - kiss the sin
for 'morrow enters still again
the mundane and the rough
tonight - you soothe the palette
by living off the cuff
Everything can feel so tough
When someone isn’t up to snuff.
Your best may not be good enough
Although you try and try.
What often happens off the cuff,
As simple as a powder puff,
May suddenly seem raw and rough,
A truth you can’t deny.
So if you’re acting grim and gruff
Because you lack your normal stuff,
You just might not be up to snuff
And that’s the reason why.
A phenomena of the 60's& 70's not only for his boxing skill but uniquely at the time coupled with his ' off the cuff' rhyming verbalised 'happenings ' at 'weigh ins' & interviews etc.This verse (less memorable ) than those earlier poetics is a sample from his later 'spoken word ' style & thus gives a more rounded view to this most famous of the modern 'popular ' reciting poets of the 20th century.
I watched as reason
drained your face,
frowns cracked
to reveal a single tear
buried under the layers
I witnessed as the dye
dripped off the cuff
twin splashes of blue
scarred my cornea’s
I prayed as the colour
drained from your mouth,
as its corners
found the downturn
I cry as you dance
to nightshade,
always believing
the rhythm
would bring you back
and smiling in Technicolour
Remember my favorite flower,
sometimes that’s just what I need;
Spend time talking for hours
Be there and support my dreams;
Remember I can be far too serious
take me out of my head for a while;
Remind me to remain fearless,
make me laugh and echo my smile;
Remember me on a random day
surprise me do things off the cuff;
Sit with me in the car as the stereo plays,
let me know being me is enough.
Romeo and Juliet were fiction
as if that's not enough
her balcony in Verona
originally a medieval sarcophagus
no more than a tourist attraction
may also have been a water trough
and the Dal Capello family building
where he posed 'through yonder window?'
'but soft' and completely off-the-cuff
to which it's now attached
was once a 13th-century inn
but as stories go really quite unmatched
With apologies to William Shakespeare
How do we go through life with degrees?
And always, always blame someone for our needs!
Sad, Ivory Tower midgets are we!
Living in outreageous arrogance, but always blaming thee!
Big heads, but no hearts.
Blame, blame, are our poison darts.
Who, we? We are perfect you see?
Ineffective, irresponsible, intellectuality!
What have you done for the earth?
Besides quipping, off the cuff, ineffective mirth?
