Oenologists

When Jesus turned water into wine
Some of the guests were heard to whine,
"It's such a waste 
For us who taste!
Diluted Sherry is Philistine!"


n.b. Oenologist="wine snob"

The F Arts

she has a roman
nose i know
because
she

can
smell
a philistine
beneath her

but her spell pray
thee well is
more then
scent

for i'm
her prey
and she kills
me by tickling

Problem With a Phillistine

Problem With A Philistine

Another problem appeared with a Philistine;
While he would watch news on big TV screen;
Something was strange,
Erupting from exchange;
With women was weird while being obscene.

About My Navel

A gullet of flesh choking on coarse hair
or more like a whirlpool spitting lint
and gritty, wretched pus.
The navel is barely a poetic subject,
that is unless you consider disgusting portals
to the murky inner self a philistine concept,
which many might.
Fools.

the paw of his Father great —

A Javelin Thrower and Disappointment

In his heart was an intense glow
After his seeming superb show:
An unsurpassed Philistine Throw
Until whistled “A Disallowing No”
That nearly javelin blood flow
Stopped from his head to toe
And a seizure wired like a blow …

Clear that a bank account won’t grow,
A once hot spirit is icy snow;
For all this rousing with the cock’s crow!

Now a bow is sick and tired of an arrow,
A once healthy Toyota awaiting a tow.

Hinckleys Bullets For Reagan

I started the engine of my wagon
And it began spitting the Fires of Dragon:
Hinckley’s alarming shots at Reagan!

But I kept firing Engine and Wagon,
And didn’t stop mouthing ‘Doggone!’
But they were still Hinckley’s insane bullets for Reagan

A finally vomited me at the Temple of Dagon,
For a Philistine bow by The New Pagan,
Wherefore God sent me a stopping Shagan,
With jealous instructions for me in Legon;
 Into Smithereens blowing my wagon,
As idolatrous as Misguided Aaron

Spite

Just a little word with
So many guises 

Incoherent inefficient ineffective reaction
Inconsistent blame 
Vengeful malaise
Conscious disregard 
Blameless resolve
Sanctimonious irksome indifference
Creative revenge 
Wreckage for sport 
Intensive bigotry
Hyperbolic generalisation
Disinterestedness
Complacent autocratic dogma
Crass philistine opportunism
Nimble forgetfulness
Vigorous ignorant diatribe
Impotent nostalgia

All in a day’s work for those
Whose envy knows no bound
