   His pacemaker's tick's just attacked...

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."...

Beggers used to beg ten cents
For a cup of coffee now five dollars instead
World's out of whack
Sanity we lack
Life has basically screwed with our heads...

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...

When love is smooth and runs in tune,
young couples gaze up at the moon,
but before or when they hit the sack,
love sometimes goes out of whack.
So, take care when you play with fire,
that love does not go all haywire....

Sick waves tumble guts.
Quick gags stifle lunch.
Motions blurred gray illusion,
Icy spray sea infusion.
Slate fogged sky ahead and back,
Compass swinging out of whack.
Skid, slip, spin, and fall.
Don't panic, swim call....

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...

Something I always think about 
Mostly, when I am going out 
I think to myself- check the list 
There might be something that I missed  
Brush my hair, my teeth...oh geez! 
Tissue paper- by chance, I sneeze 
If I leave...and do not come back 
For sure, I'd be...all out of whack...

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!

Eleven thousand cases
In the city gives me pause.
We know Omicron’s contagious
But the surge is there because…

People gather close together
After many’ve been exposed
To some others whose vaccines
Did not exist as one supposed.

These statistics make me crazy;
Feels like we are going back
To the way things were a year ago,
Completely out of whack....

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....

Face to face with the witches of Halloween
curse black jellybeans

Zombie doctors, unbeating hearts out of whack
raisins giving back

Mad scientists, green goggles, double helix
rejecting trail mix

Undead bug blasters, squishing out eight-legged lice
No to apple slice

String cheese does not bring
Candy's following
Face to face with the witches of Halloween...

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...

My head's all out of whack

Got that monkey on my back

I don't think that I can go another day

When everything is said

I prefer that I was dead

Since I can't see that there's any other way

I'm here to say goodbye

Don't waste your time asking why

I don't think there's any way you'll understand

So when I'm dead and gone

Put another record on

And have a drink with my buddies in the band...

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....

As a parent I drool
To send kids back to school.

Far too much frantic fun 
Drains me shallow, no pun.

Rowdy, raucous ransack
Leaves calm space out of whack.

Summer - precious and short -
For adults I’d retort .

Hot spot, wasted away 
On young - I dare to say.

Blatant truth to be told - 
Schools should shut in the cold.

For all we care or know 
Children thrive in the snow.

                                  Uncle Peacock was a cock of the walk
                                   Chucked his job to camp in a bivouac
                                           He met Charles Lee Ray
                                         Who sprayed pepper spray
                            All hell broke loose, Cock, a real out of whack

Crippling, draining, head in a vice
Throbbing, nauseating, not very nice
Poor concentration, vision change
Heightened perception, feeling strange
Sleepless nights, debilitating pain
Intolerance to light, that’s Migraine 
Ears ringing, sounds too loud
Wish I could click and send to my Cloud
Body fatigue, from migraine attack
Day’s left feeling, I’m out of whack
No magic cure, a complex condition
No click to cloud, just my rendition....
