Premium Member Who Am I

I seem to be in a jam.
I don't know who that I am.
I woke up this morning,
Without any warning,
Gee, I hope that I'm not on the lam!

Premium Member Orange Juice on the Lam

I once swung from a tree on a noose, 
but I was picked, and I rolled loose.
Yet it's times just like these,
when they put on the squeeze,
that I become fresh orange juice.

Premium Member Unmasked Man

Mommy, why's that man not wearing a mask
Shh, darling, it's not nice of you to ask
   That's quite alright, ma'am
   I'm out on the lam
I've got to see to fill up this here flask

The Sadness Between The Trees

Back woods of her mind
Flocks of bare lamb on the lam
Running from bad wolves

Premium Member Escaping the Blob

Keep your tentacles away from me

Touching your body stings like a bee

     Pardon me, for I am on the lam

     Foot crushed by the shell of a clam 

Pray you won’t follow me as I flee

Premium Member Neo Noir Cat and Mouse

Yesterday, it was the tortoise and the hare. 
Today, another unlikely pair -
an alley cat, a stolen car,
and a mouse on the lam who wouldn't get far - 
two double crossers, one prayer, "God willing,
all I ask, 'a drive-by killing'".

Premium Member Pork Chop Runs Off With a Leg of Lamb

My pork chop ran off with a leg of lamb
Had a car accident and I mean - BAM!
The first one on the scene was my sweet old gram.
Luckily she had her video cam.
Filmed the lovers running on the lam.
We laugh at that tape whenever we can!

Premium Member Mary Had a Lamb Not For the Golden Shovel Contest

In reply to Graig's contest using the example he supplied, with minimum effort on my part.

She signed her name, "Mary"
And she knew that she'd been had
Now, she'd never get the A
So she took it on the Lam....................................b

Premium Member The Joy of Spam

One day, a convict got away, and went out on the lam.
And on the sly, he did buy, his very own kitchen cam.
Wanting to glow, in a reality show, though not a ham.
This jailbird, much preferred, to star in the Joy of Spam.

Premium Member Box Wine Blues

I’m just a free-range wino on the lam,
A low-rent resident of any circus tent 
Accepts me as the reprobate I am.
I don’t speak Texan and I don’t intend to,
But I’ll pretend to be a rodeo clown.
I’ve got a box of bad intentions.
Gonna drink that vino down.
In vino veritas.

Premium Member The Getaway

In a market outdoors one day, Pam
was caught pilfering using a pram.
Fast away that lass flew
bareback on a young ewe.
One might say she was then "on the lam(b)."

Where's My Shoe

Where is it? Where is it?
My lonely lower appendage heaved a sigh
His shoe had gone on the lam
I searched until my end's wit!
But what do I see..with Spot in the dirty backyard pit?
Is that a bone of ham?
Why, its a moccasin, buried laces high!
"Hey! That's my shoe," I cry
And Spot just barked at me in reply

Premium Member I Am Bored With Work

I am bored with work.
  My job is mundane.
Somedays it seems
  I might go insane.

It's the same thing
  day after day,
but I have no choice,
  I need the pay.

My job is boring,
  disenchanted I am.
If I win the lottery
  I'm going on the lam.

For: Scavenger Hunt
In Honor of: ~Constance~Rambling Poet

Rambling around in a traffic jam,
Poetess naked and on the lam.
  Constance’s very neat trick,
  Behind a thin chopstick,
In the buff, dreaming a bluff, dream scam!!

Though diligently she did try,
`T was a failure to dignify,
   By her most classic stance,
   For without any pants,
Did lose her chance she had to buy!!

Note: From Constance's Poem "Traffic Jam"

Premium Member What Am I

My beginnings were ever so humble
To this day I wear others' rags
I'm bungled, fumbled and tumbled
My owner usually brags
Diamonds all shapes and sizes
Multicolored rainbows and rings
Always loved and needled
And thrown on kings and queens
You can buy me at a boutique
If I'm given I'm normally at my peak 
In the summer I go on the lam 
Please tell me what I am.

Premium Member Mock Turtle Soup

Did you happen to see old Sam?
He's my poor turtle on the lam

It  happened he was told
That his body had been sold

To a restaurant in the city
Where the cook had little pity

On the stove he put the pot
And the veggies that he got

But he had no turtle meat
So decided he would cheat

Chicken tastes about the same
Or so the turtles always claim

So his turtle soup became a mock
Cause he made it with chicken stock

Gangster Spirit

Creeping around not showing myself to anyone
They keep looking but I will wait until they’re done
I have all the time in the world
As I sit and watch the world meld

I remember most things up to the day
When I was stabbed and  he ran away
I lay on the sofa and closed my eyes
And must have slept some as a time went by

So I hang around here now
Waiting for the boys to take a bow
It’s best to lay low on the lam
To get my cut of the gang’s latest scam.
