You are not in the army now sonny...

There is a young girl at my school,
But when she tries to act cool,
She gets into trouble,
And there on the double,
Suddenly, she became the fool....

If someone could fart in a bubble
           Would save us a great deal of trouble
To float then on high
And burst in the sky
     The clouds would clear out on the double...

Getting to the store quick on the double,
their faces look anxious and troubled,
minutes to spare,
pulling out their hair,
caffeine the hustle in their bustle.

Do not throw your life away 
You have a lot to live for 
Just get off of those streets 
That is for sure 
Nothing but terrains and trivails 
Along with lots of trouble 
Get it all together 
And move on the double...

I am in big trouble

My mind is in a muddle

My tears have formed a puddle

My head is in a bubble

My heart feels befuddled

My life has turned to rubble

I desperately need a cuddle

On the double ….!!

Life is hard for us all 
Everyone goes through a struggle 
Keep fighting your way through 
And move on the double
Darkness may appear
But, we must reach towards the light 
Remove from those clouds
And make your world bright...

The streets are no place to live 
For they are filled with trouble 
Just pick yourself up 
And move on the double 
Situations are cloudy 
Filled with corruption and strife 
Remove yourself from darkness 
And take back your life...

Fred Flintstone
 In Bedrock he was known
 His cat would always put him out
 And for Wilma he would shout

 Barney Rubble
 Was always there on the double
 To get Fred out of a jam
 Then he would scram

Stationed in west-London
Run to the further spot.
I stationed in west-London.
Together from the east.
Running from the West
Serious cup of tea.
Earl Grey and a Biscuit.
Evironmental trouble
Someone on the double.
West-end
To the East-end....

I lose awhile the harried world's  hysteria,
Seeing you so winsome in Wisteria.

If only I could mend my mind with  mystery,
Could balance on the double edge of history,

I would tell the world how time may linger,
Lovely on a petal or a finger....

Gwen’s contest sure gave me lots of trouble,
The entries made me laugh on the double,
As I have a cold
I laughed, cried and rolled,
Until alas, I blew a snot bubble! 



Thanks to Gwen and all you contestants for the entertainment! Loved this contest!...

Confusion and frustration are present
We may be lost in the shuffle
Just get it together immediately
And move on the double
Nothing but pandemonium
Not a soul knows what is taking place
Some people are bound to run
And shield themselves from the bitter disgrace...

Heading down a corruptive path 
Will put you in a lot of trouble 
Your life will sadly become a dead end 
If you do not move on the double 
Darkness will rear its ugly head 
And the walls will come closing in 
Quit hanging around bad company 
Make better choices my friend...

Hearts on fire

Over heads that sire

New couple on the double

Every action becomes triple

Yearning for each other's hand

Maneuvering who has a better hand

On truth or consequence

Or Games of the General

No arbiter is allowed... just being real and literal!...

Joy rhythm, innate aliveness
We’re here, so enjoy life
In joyous, impish, playfulness
Suffused with God’s love rife

Hermit, sound the bugle
March forth on the double
Laughing when we tumble

See! No chasm
Joy rhythm

Spelling of Church 
  
C is for Christ, the main man in my life 
H is for helping his children create a start 
U is for understanding the wrong from the right 
R is for reading my Bible day and night 
C is for courage and strength on the double 
H is for God’s hand that keeps me out of trouble...

redeeming
are we talking church
or the five cent of a magician 
as tithe you are greedy to dare
on the double as I put my trash in hands.

collected recycled I do not need a pope
to spread the words of a meal shared with the world
as a lost soul I chose to travel the planets of dreams
and the exchange of a thank you and you welcome....

    Running to escape
       running from trouble
    Pick up the pace
       quick, on the double

    Sweat pouring down
       feet pounding the ground
    Second wind comes along
       now sprinting headlong …

    He broke the tape
       in record time, wahoo!
    What he's run from is clear 
       ~ but what’s there to run to

Words burnt in my brain,
Times not to come again,'
Of long lost childhood,
Things motherly-good?
"Go and play!" 
That's all she'd say,
In a big back yard,
Veggie patch too hard,
Mud pies we played,
Fun times stayed,
Boy, was there trouble!
Fled on the double,
"Go and play!" 
That's all she'd say,
Long lost childhood, 
Things maternal--good?...

I'm hiding, I'm hiding I know that i'm in trouble. My mom said be home at 8:00 I'm late now i better get home on the double. My mom should know that i am only a kid. She'd really freak out if she knew half the stuff i did. 

Like having my friends crawl through the windows at night, sneaking in beer and smokes, getting drunk, acting stupid having a few tokes....

Listen to poem:

she was adorable and sweet
cute as a button two left feet
she was a ball of fun
never walked would run
anything but bleak
she had a dark streak
there on the double
loved to stir up trouble
happy to test our patience
flaunting a hint of genius

Upon the Occasion of No Charges Filed
Against the Cops Who "Accidentally"
Fired 107 Bullets at an Innocent
Mother and Child.

Our heroic boys in blue
No matter what else they do
Like to shoot you on the double
Know they'll never get in trouble
Never have to raise the bail
Never serve a day in jail
They're the heroes of our nation
On another paid vacation....

If my taste starts to fade, stick around I'm in style
Evergreen, Peppermint, did I just see you smile?
Chew my wad, blow a bubble
Be minty fresh on the double
I am gum, chew on that for a while

I please and abide like your loyal chum
Then you spit me out like a skid row bum
But chew me at your pleasure
I'm a tried-and-true treasure
I am comfort, I am delight, I am gum!...

Passion gets me in trouble
It motivates me to do things on the double.

Passion drives me quite wild
Especially if it's regarding my child.

Or anyone else for whom I care deeply.

Patience is something I've had to learn
What others were born with, I've had to earn.

Patience and passion go hand in hand
That's how I imagine the promised land.

Hope y'all don't find this too creepy!...
