Then she makes a mad dash
To hide under the bed...

Was a space flight for Captain Kirk
An Enterprise
Where no one dies
Proving fantasy just might work...

Lovely is the rain
Streaming down on my lanai
Quickly starts to wane
Trees perk up and flowers sigh
Never even knowing why...

Cold alignment of feelings 
Running warm water to cure
Wonderful perk of flowers
Feelings of pure joy

There was an enthusiastic gent
A new perfume, he tried to invent
Not a grand perk
For his hard work
Was a cent that was sent for his scent!...

So there's no need for voting rights
They all have the perk
Of going to work
Though a few may need to work nights!...

Am starting and beginning to see,
Glad it had been you and not me;
My coffee  perk,
While you work,
And rested and better off I will be.

An Appeals Court

What appeals to circuit
Court up they need to perk it,
Now and never quit.

Watching news and writing poems
from observations is always interesting.

Front yard had been bad does appear;
Improvements did make there and here,
And after work,
Our soil did perk;
Yard will be better by the end of the year.

       ~ Four-Line Limerick ~

   A soda jerk I knew at work
   offered customers an unconventional perk
 
   When he pulled the handle on the Coke
     ~ Their seats would swivel, their rear ends twerk...

Taking the world by storm
Is not what one would expect 
From the birthing of a poem
Perhaps it is enough 
To know that inspiration struck
And for a moment 
You were one with
The Creator

coffee's perking
mind is working
always in the past

pour a cup
to wake me up
wondering if it can last

another hour
java empowers
has the die been cast

drive to work
heart in a cirque
the feeling, vast...

Work,
A  jerk,
Born to irk,
We cannot shirk,
Manager  or  clerk, 
He makes us go berserk,
In  every  corner  he'll  lurk,
Well then, what's his positive perk?
Payday brings on our faces - a SMIRK.

Love Is In The Night Air

In the eve of the night her bosoms perk
Two shining stars dance to his fireworks
A bang and a pop
Sweet love drops
Glitter and gladder the moons went berserk

Strenuous work,
Gimme a perk, 
It hurts, the pain,
I'm not the same.

Bending backs,
facing the facts,
I'm not a farmer,
A bogus charmer.

And they tell me;
Be careful said he--
It's squash, not squish
You work or you flee....

We're waiting
For the school radio to start,
Then hear four pips,
Teacher quips
"What does that mean?"
I perk up 
"He's just eaten an apple"
Class collapses.
One of the first
Funny things I'd said
And quite possibly
One of the last....

TrUmP A Jerk with a Perk

Trump as a President went to work,
And he had been a jerk with a perk;
Discovered disease,
From some fleas,
That around his body liked to lurk.

Jim Horn

Wonder if anyone actually laughs at
any of my poems....

Vitamin B12
The perk up pill
But are you my friend?
Will you kick up my energy?
A notch or three?
Today or tomorrow or will you take a week?
Vitamin B12
Stay right here
Talk to me 
Give me your word
You will help me get my energy back....
