Premium Member Neville

I once knew a lawyer named Neville
Who never was on the level
He had a great itch
To become very rich
So he sold his soul to the devil

Big Deal

"The Art of the Deal" is a bevel
for angles are not on the level
A bankrupt can claim
Its all just a game
Where Donald earns points from the Devil.

Premium Member No Good Deed

The Governor's name was Bob Neville 

Who was known as a civic devil

But through deified greed

Never did a good deed

I don't think he was on the level

A Heart Now Free

there for you
here for me
on the level
it needs to be

going slow
an easy pace
there’s no hurry
no rat race

connecting hearts
a bond that grows
learning all
we need to know

there for you
here for me
a heart unlocked
a heart now free

Premium Member Just Ask the Devil

Why is it that 'All's fair in love or war?'
Because war is hell and love's a whore?
Well, there are rules in hell
Just ask the devil
And a whore's heart's made of gold
She's on the level
  So 'All's Fair' may be just a pretext
  ~ For a combatant who's oversexed

Premium Member Old Gooseberry

Devil
Lucifer
These make sense
But Old Gooseberry? 
This hilarity to me is on the fence.
And yet in the dictionary, there it is as devil.
Whoever put it in there, were they on the level?
Devil
Lucifer
Okay, I understand each.
But Old Gooseberry?
This seems like an abnormal reach.

Premium Member Topical Poem

Never have I seen trouble as deep as 
The catastrophe in Tamaulipas.
I chanced on a 6-kilometer crack -
A lot of information to unpack.
If you fall into the crack, it seems,
You'll be in China or the Philippines.
I tell you straight, put it on the level -
It is either drainage or the devil.

Premium Member The Wife and Him

Below the ground is the devil Who just wouldn't stay on the level All he created was strife Then he met up with the wife I now call them Evil Connivelled Before I get approached by the Oxford Dictionary police. Connivelled is not a word. http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/humour-4.php

Premium Member Devilish

He said, "Hello". I Said, "Who are you?"
He said, "I am the Devil".
I said, "C'mon man. You're not on the level".
He said, "Yes, I am".
"I can't talk to you. My morals forbid".
The Devil said, "You just did."
"No I didn't", I said.
"Yes, you did".
I shut my mouth and stopped scoffing.
As he vanished, I heard him laughing.

Poetry Has No Chain

poetry is poetry
it walks on the level of mystic mystery,
makes an epoch and history

No need to jail it 
in specific definition and chain
it comes spontaneously 
from the heart of natural being

the egoistic days have gone away
come, face the truth everyday
enjoy the life of wisdom peacefully
life is poetry

Blessinda

Beautiful, black young lady that
Lives life to the fullest and
Elevates her surroundings to get on the level that she's at
She never takes no for an answer because she is
Strong-willed and knows wat she wants out of life
Inspite of all the drama, she never loses herself within it
Not because she's perfect, but because she's 
Determined to stay on top and be the best of the best
All in all, she is who she is...Blessinda :)

No Feeling and Not Appealing

No Feeling and Not Appealing

I had to hurry up and write
this down before I forgot this.


When I never show any of my feeling;
What I write and say is not appealing;
While rambling,
Was gambling,
On you disturbed hitting head on ceiling.

Jim Horn

What happens if I check off 1st grade in Categories.
Does this mean that I am writing at a first grade level
of inteligence (LOI) and am on the level?

Also Wharton School of Business is not taught at night school.
