Economy out of whack
Time to help them pack

suspecting my defense's out of whack
I'm bracing for the worst here, all alone
Waiting for my children to come home

One needs to remember the rhyme
Dealing with Daylight Saving Time:
"Do not let clocks get out of whack;
Spring ahead, and then, fall back, Jack."...

I could tell that it was out of whack
the docs concern for me he didn't lack
after some sessions
he made a suggestion
saying don't worry I got your back!

Probably think something's out of whack
Truth is, some quite important genes I do lack
Like the basic ability
To perform with sensitivity
Look in the mirror, see a real crackerjack!

Holy Crap, going to be fifty degrees today
Can't believe it, something is out of whack, I say
The buds are stirring
Warm winds are whirring
Quite delusional, maybe bumped my head in the night, eh

We're losing our beloved horse pasture out back
Progress is destroying paradise, everything's out of whack
Soon the world will be paved over
Surely no more rolling in clover
Seems like us guys are about to run off the track

Im not skinny mini,
and I'm not plump like a pea.
I'm just me
that's all I can be.

My dimensions are out of whack.
My hair does whatever,
but that's me
that's all I can be.

You might not like how I dress
or the way I act,
but jolly gee
all I can be is me!

It’s wonderful when friends check in
When something’s out of whack.
It lets you know that there are people
Who have got your back.

An email, phone call or a text
Is all it really takes
So you’re aware somebody’s up
For any news that breaks.

We all lead busy lives and so
It’s special and it’s rare
When relatives and friends reach out,
Reminding us they care.

I am a pharmacodynamics novelty
Pills and drugs have an opposite effect on me.
Stuff that puts others to sleep for days
Barely keeps me in a simple haze.
Drugs that bring others rapidly up,
Knock me out the second I sup.
My brain must be somehow out of whack.
I am a pharmacodynamics hack.
One important fact I dare not smother,
These drugs do the same to my mother.

I look at my watch upside down 
And the time of the day 
Seems to change quickly
I view the world upside down 
And the world appears to me simple 
And relatively stable
I right myself with my feet firmly on the ground
And the world and everyone else
Appears to me out of whack
And relatively unstable 
I wonder sometimes whether I am better off 
Viewing everything upside down 
Between my legs

Writing mostly rhythm with rhyme
I find it such sweet poetry.
Upon occasion I find time
to compose a verse that is free.

I slave like a night owl up-tight
finding the task not so fluent.
Like a tangram that won't fit right
some pieces I'm sure are truant.

The fitting of free thought's a curse -
herculean and out-of-whack.
Upon the writing of free verse
I get lost in the art of abstract.

there is no way to play 
safely, are you listening out there
mother earth, i can't love with
out breaking something. 
i accept that i expect a lot of
you, hold on tight father sky
as i fly through you, throw your
balance all out of whack. it
is my destiny, attack after attack
i will break your back & replace
it with cotton. i have burned &
buried all that reminds, i am 
not one of you- i have other things
to do....

Well, there is a loophole right there.
And by golly gee there’s one here.
Easy to step into those cracks,
Losing balance and be all out of whack.

Step by step and baby ones at that,
Tiptoeing and being mighty slow.
But I bet you have all come to know,
A catch 22 has a knack.

Nothing is glued,
Too many corner stones,
How lewd!
Fragile are my bones.

Peeping through,
Seeing route 44’s for those catch 22’s.
