Premium Member Can I Say That

there’s a timid little man who lives in my head
he stops me from saying things they won’t like
they--the keepers of the “you can’t say that”
the keepers of the permissible
they change
the rules
so the little man sometimes won’t let me speak
even to myself
and they are happy
but I am not. Can I say that?

Premium Member Thumb Struck - Dk

Oh, the pain of getting a thumb struck Is not overshadowed by feeling dumbstruck When a car door is slammed on a finger There is no logical reason to linger Taking a pain pill as soon as possible In this case is perfectly permissible Soaking in ice is always helpful, too But I don’t know what else to do!

Premium Member Card Counting Actor

A big Hollywood star decided to go to play some blackjack at a Las Vegas casino. The management did not like what was going on. Suspected of card counting, the actor was gone. This episode appeared in need of a reality check. How does one keep track of aces and tens in each deck? The scene presented itself to be unclear and quite mucky. Is it not permissible for patrons to get lucky? From a news story found on aol.com

Premium Member When Undies Go

Easing the panties down off of a cutie
Provides a good view of her natural beauty

With delicate fabric then out of the way
That play field's clear for that most special play

A stroke and a lick, a tickle and kiss
Will start her along on the way to much bliss 

Then she'll look with favor on all of your moves
To head towards getting right into the groove 

Unconstrained access to goodies a-plenty
Makes hope spring right up for permissible entry!

Prudence

They say that all things are allowed,
And by this many oaths are vowed.
Some say that alcohol may be drunk,
Some vouch that tobacco is for inhaling;
Bullies believe others' backs are theirs to spank!

But Paul the man of epistles did say
That all are permissible but all don't  pay.
Thus we may practice that which is of help,
And all else count as chaff;
For none can of will cast hot charcoal upon their lap!

Prudence calls for each to be wise,
For some evils have perfected their guise.

Crisis

Few odd kilometers now
In this short walk.
The feet all sore
And the mind, sulk.
"Who knows where the park is
Or when the time to bed is?"

The brain is full of shade.
The head needs its shrewd.
If the mouth won't say,
The body would.
"Is it permissible to be in the restroom?
One needs to be at ease, soon."

Thinking, "out of ten, I'm nine!"
In truth, he's genesis in time.
Conflicted youth in his prime.
Tired!
Feeling, "I need a peaceful rest.
Hands folded, placed in chest!"
