Glossophobic

Nothing more offends a Man
Than to challenge his beliefs. 
How wan and drear my dreaded fear 
That the World would laugh at me!


The Bully

A bully once roared in my face,
macho bluster, lacking all grace.
I said “Do you mind?
I think you might find,
your breath offends my personal space.”

Evolution

with T-rex
arms
i can't
touch
myself
or hold 
ripe fruit

if your right
hand offends
cut it
off 
so now
i'm
armlessly

looking
at
my
feet
being
offended
by them

Premium Member Educate B4 2 Late

Addiction is about briefly burning bright,
Then alone and without in the bitter night.
So horrendous is the wretched addict's plight,
It offends us — but we still don't teach kids right.

Premium Member Spirit

Too much
too little
slow down
relax

don't anymore hear it
wind is loud
voices echo headily encourage 
shun your “thou”

sorry if it offends
you not me and....

getting older striving
forever to be free.

The News' Populism

The News has called me populism.
My vote offends the Press.
And when I'm seen with someone else
they start to feel the stress.

I'd talk to them about it,
but that would be unfair.
As any talk between us
might populate a scare.

Blacker Than Black

There is evil that offends evil.
There is black that is blacker than black.
There is fault-free blood that is a running river.
There is inhumanity that supercedes insanity.
How shall we call it, write it, remember it?
Putin is its name.

My Smelly Feet

When day draws to a close
I shall smell a rose
The scent of my feet
Isn’t nearly as sweet
And rather offends my nose.

In fact they’re so bad
They’d make a rat gag
I’ll only wear sandals
Around scented candles
Which is really quite a drag.

Premium Member Entitled

These days too many people feel entitled
Not just as individuals
Entitled to basic human rights,
But as some special group
Based on their sex, 
Race, religion, party or class.
And if this offends you
Then you’re probably one of them.

The Mirror

The mirror that most offends you
is the one that says good luck
When it's there to say I lied to
what you're sure to want to cluck

And you only think believing
is the time you spent in front
When the time you spent to find it
is the price you paid in shunt

Choice

Choice is...real
...unreal, unwanted
Choice does not let you choose,
or make decisions, choice forces you
to decide.
Yet, deciding really offers you no choice 
of all the options.
Choice offends your decisions.
Just as decisions mock your choices.
So choose wisely.

Premium Member Needs Amends

"All a man really wants, is a girl who looks good in a bikini." - Jack Freestone

		
Upon your mind set it purely depends; 
Self-respect of girls it greatly offends.
Men, tighten all your minds’ screws; 
Picture yourselves in their shoes.
A view of this kind surely needs amends.

To the Obsolete

Pass out your punishment
I care not for your ideals
nor am I capable to accept

Pass out your punishment
Your "logic" offends 
and I will not entertain

Pass out your punishment
I fear you not, you are obsolete in my mind
You choose lies before truth 
you are unforgivable 
and I refuse to be 
unforgivable too

Premium Member Swearing In Your Name

This little poem is filled with swear names, 
Swear names that are really quite lewd,
From Bummy McBumbum to Cocky McCock, 
These names are really quite rude,

And if Ms Yucky Poobum offends you so much, 
If it makes you want to go do a dump,
Remember there’s one name that’s worse than the lot, 
And that is the President Trump.

Gypsy No More

What we once called a gypsy moth
Will get another name;
In caterpillar form, as well,
Its fate will be the same.

For “gypsy” is derogatory
And the name offends.
Political correctness means
That what is hurtful ends.

Old habits don’t die easy deaths
So many still will claim
That gypsy moths are being drawn
Like you-know-whats to flame.

Premium Member Junkyard and Jungle Cats

Amy the tier-one junkyard cat upends
When her ‘I don’t care’ cattitude offends
She stalks, strikes, then eats
Has no time for treats
Mice used to be fast food but now are friends

Sputnik the panther jungle cat has fun
Laughing as all the humans try to run
Some run as fast they can
Some stop to make a stand
Either way their denouement has begun

Premium Member They So Loved The World


GOD, so loved the world, he gave his only son.
China, so loved the world, they gave us COVID, 
instead of a cure for CANCER. 
Politicians, so loved the world,
they tried to suppress voter's rights.
States, so loved the world, 
they legalized marijuana, 
making it easy to get high.
People, so loved the world,
unless your skin color offends them.

Simple Mottoes For Life

My Father used to say:

A shot to the mouth often offends

also

You can lead me by a silk but dont drive me with a stick

also only many issues e.g.

Don't say you worked down the coal mines for 27 years
when you had 25 years off in the middle.

also

Nothings bad that could that could not be worse

also

They'll eat them dry next time.

Beauty’s Beast

Hanging hope on garden roses
Licking love from silver spoons 

On the run in tundras frozen 
Throwing howls at the moon 

No true way to leave the castle 
Though you came here on your own 

Sometimes you are a prisoner
Sometimes you’re on the throne 

Though his rugged mange offends you
His venom’s nothing new 

Still he keeps you close to him
Beauty is a beast too

Premium Member The 1st Amendment

Please forgive me, but I'm now walking the borderline
of what might possibly offend others who read this work of mine,
but I do believe that the following must be said
continuously, otherwise one day our 1st Amendment might be dead.
"If it's ever enacted into law that we can't say "**** You" because it offends,
then we'll never again be able to say "**** You" to an unruly government."

Giving Up

I wait for you with bated breath
In a drunken haze
I try to envision myself as 
Seductress
Knowing full well
I am a silly woman
Knowing you are undoubtedly
Unaware of my position
In this smoke filled carnival
Across the tinkling of glass to glass
And all the laughter spurred by
Unsteady brazeness
The enormity of the absurdity
Offends me
So I stagger home
Decidedly tired of trying

Write Your Way

To my writing friends
I just wanted you to know
Now is the time
For you to let go
Don't think too hard
Or ask yourself why
Just sit down at your desk
Take your quill and give it a try
And if you manage to write a piece
Maybe one which truly offends
Do not worry about it much
I am sure you will still have your friends
And for those of them who said goodbye
At least you know in your heart
That you never wrote a lie

Caged

Confused and alone her a fading light
The blue lip-color painted on her lips disturbed
A goodbye in the mid of night
And her natural beauty so perturbed

The voices in the cold
So silent and profound
waiting for a beam that left old
Her heart alone in the dark left unbound

She stands
A women, a foreigner in her clan
Her stand offends
The women and the man

To dream, to wish, to hope and long
Is the fantasy humanity will always belong.
