I'm always deadly as a shark,
I miscalculated -

my cat would save me....

Using numbers that were overrated.
But how can that be?
Is three not still three?
She got angry, her math not well graded....

Grocery prices are now so inflated
I eat dried yams 'till my hunger's abated
Everything cost a mint
My billfold grows lint
Then again, food is so overrated!

Producing humdrum routine most hated
Better to seek fun and love
And spirit rising above
Don’t let those local mores keep you weighted...

with the flow of anger 
everyone has a cursed soul
in which they can't lie

So the truth is out there
Can You Handle The Truth!...

i need someone who’ll show me how it’s done:
how you take a heart and stay in love.

i need someone who won’t reap my soul and run;
a shakespeare who rather have a raven than a dove....

Love is overrated,
no doubt it's unneeded.
All you get from it is fight, hatred, and hurt.
It may be all fun and games in the beginning,
but in the end, 
no one wins, and hearts are broken....

cannot be overstated.

Wonderful vitamin D source
Never overrated.

carefully orchestrated...

Mountain of sorrow 
Pile of manure
It is all a question 
Of perception 
Organic  liquid 
What of it
Companionship matters
More than anything 
Beyond a certain age
Anything else is
Overrated....

And it is your shoes that have worn it
I think my door is locked forever
But I hold out for someone to break through my window
Using the front door is so overrated...

Searching for a buried treasure in my dresser
Looking for undies that ain't fresh, just fresher  
Chances of fresh
No hope, my guess
It's overrated, but keep small animals at bay, however...

A kiss is overrated and may bring about much pain
For once you have a nice one you’ll hunger more again
Hence please refrain from kissing me so I shall never be beat
From missing any kisses, I regard as sweet....

Love is overrated
Coined by this heart accelerated
Today exhilarated, tomorrow sorrow filtered
Emotions exuberant 
Loneliness exonerated 
Time extinguished
Togetherness envisioned
Oh what splendor
This love dreamed...

Imperfection is beauty, flaws are art,
Purity is overrated, failing is understated,
Strange is innovative,
Battle scars make a soldier,
Perfect makes the heart colder,
Make mistakes, miss a shot,
Dare to fall, dare to try....

Bought
comfort
in a brand
of green flip-flops
from this blond cashier
who wore pure thoughtlessness
as his new philosophy
while imposing absurd notions
on the youthful minds of persuasion
that inner beauty is overrated...

Sleep overrated
Exhaustion at a new high
Deadlines to meet
Lost in the clarity of the sky

Torment of procedure
Ones unknown to my peers 
Unknown to me

Alas!!! An opportunity to snooze
I'll take it... yes
an hour maybe two... how about three...
