From out which place, arising
Is this urge to sing?
Hark! Heart, up-buoyed. What through Joy's bird
Is Heaven overheard.
Your name was spoken,
overheard on a phone call.
I came to see you,
my friend from primary school;
clicked, chatted, like yesterday.
I went to Mass Saint Patrick Day
And overheard a woman say,
"You can't drink green beer
With the priest in here
Or we'll have the Devil to pay!"
I overheard a conversation
with very loud participation,
it seemed there was a need
to get the words out with speed...
diarrhea not constipation.
I heard he gave her a rogering
Rogers mom said totally disgusting
Conversation overheard
No wonder she's disturbed
He actually gave her Rogers Ring
Cockwomble – a word so absurd
(‘twas written and not overheard)
I adore this descriptive word
for a fella who acts like a turd!
Idiots are those whose expectations
They invested in a phrase they overheard
Confused "Sesam open"with aberration
With a grain and so in a magic cave were jailed.
Handicapped access and Six Flags is an oximoron
Overheard in the exit line of the mine train ride:
Four year old girl states "That ride made my tummy very angry!!"
After
clearing
your browsing
history, it is good
practice to do one or
two quick google searches
on ‘how to feed the hungry’ or
‘how best to reward a loving wife’
her cat got fed twice
eagerly lapping up fresh cream
oh how kitty purrs!
Inspired by a conversation I overheard in the hospital last week
5/13/19
Overheard a couple elderly gents
Discuss artificial intelligence
One said to the other
If I had my druthers
‘Twould be on the ballot for President
Went for brekkie at the local coffee joint
Key word is fast but it sure disappoints
Two minutes tops
It was teeming with cops
Think I may have overheard a few oink oinks
"I'm not your pinche half-eaten
left-over burrito
that you don't really want anymore
but feel guilty about throwing away."
Either way, dude
Heartburn's coming.
Form:
Of all your constant transgressions, I tire.
Yes, you're pushing it down to the wire.
I even sent you My Son
yet His work stays undone.
Must I resort to one last trial by fire?!
I overheard your poem whisper
"be my lover"
It said "stay with me"
With unspoken words
Your poem said
"I will always love you"
In between words written there
Meant only for me
Deep down I think you know -
This is where I draw the line -
So I won’t be long I promise -
But feel free to chop or change -
Something, anything about this -
But are you sure you’re ready?
a deafening cacophony
ego spawned thought spirals phony
earth a lunatic asylum
everywhere swaying pendulum
mindless chatter, each soul lonely

"Shadow" leaves me thinking negative jibes
overheard in rebuke and rejection -
run away in fear.
"Shade" gives me those sweet, more positive vibes
open, as in relief, relaxation -
it's safe over here.
Overheard at a Jewish wedding:
She's quite a catch
Mazel tov! L'cha'im!
Bottoms up!
Down the hatch!
Hey, why so blue?
He's a dream come true
Mazel tov! L'cha'im!'
Hope he's the right one for you...
Take it with dignity
then die
as we have walked Old Quarter Street
I've overheard this mournful cry
again: with dignity - then die!
repeated an ant to ant
when someone's heel
stepped of from spreading skies
Mummy mummy,
I’ve just overheard daddy say something so silly
He was shouting on the phone at our Uncle Billy
I’m sure he told Billy to ‘shut the duck up’
Daddy must be confused... Billy’s got a new pup!

Overheard by flies on the White House wall
During Bubba's tete-a-tete with his moll.
"Order extra salami
And a tad more pastrami
Fer my pizza on yer next service call!"
Entry for Andrea Dietrich's Limerick Contest
New lovers were overheard in their tryst,
"Ow, ow!" Beth cried when once again Sam missed.
He said from above,
"So sorry, my love.
Would you offer me a hand to assist?"

Overheard by a fly upon the wall,
During Clinton's tete-a-tete with his moll,
"Order extra salami
And a tad more pastrami,
For my pizza on your next service call!"

I love it
I hate it
That’s not art
It’s perfect
It is a train wreck
I have no idea what it is supposed to be
It calls to my soul
I despise it
It is brilliant
It is a waste of time
Art critics
overheard
at an artist’s show
where there is only one piece of art
