PHONE BOOK
AND FINGERS


Talking Finger

your were in my head
as i lay in bed
my boby  somber
won't to do the rumber
i got hook 
on my phone book
start floor walking
as mind linger
they became
your number
TALKING FINGER

hunting the purpose of sunlights

body dysmorphia from...
an overactive optic nerve
speculation on the dating and self worth market

get a phone book and stay inside
homeless people exist
we are not clean for we do not have civil rights
the illness is in the occupation of the united states of america
welcome to the civil war

Premium Member His Voice is Buttery

His voice is buttery says a musician critic on TV
I have no idea what buttery means
She sings her butt off
This is also curious
If she turned around, I could see this
He can sing the phone book
Couldn’t we all?
If we wanted to.
If I did, someone would beg me to stop singing
No.
Everyone would beg me to stop singing

Premium Member they were gone

I was looking through my phone book 
which I have had for many many  years

where did they all go
we used to hang on street corners
                            in classes
                            at meetings 
                            on dates 
I awoke one day and 
they were gone

only their names and 
phone numbers remained


Unlisted

No matter you’re not in the phone book
and you pay with cash, not checks;
no matter if you dress in the faded
worn-out rags that were all she left;

no matter if you wrap yourself in cobwebs
and drive a three-wheeled wreck;
no matter if you give up your martinis
and survive on chicken necks,

it matters not.  She’ll always have
your number –  your carnivorous ex.

Premium Member Understepping Eight

I looked everywhere for a phone book
I think there's little chance I'll find one 
My smart phone says to call 411
I think these books will now be extinct 
If you see one have a good look
No reason now to print all those names
I can't believe they have all vanished

To find under stepped message refer to my Understepping one or two 
for directions.


Inspired by Becca, I hope you like it. I can't resist a challenge*lol*

Premium Member Rooster Who Outsings the Stars

We had heard of this anomaly who out-sang the stars.
The ones in the cosmos? Asked my slow cousin, Lars.
No, the movies stars, the ones you see sing on tee vee.
He’s a rooster though, how can he carry a melody?

We were not sure, but this was a rare, bold, proud bird.
He could sing the phone book, to the point of being absurd.
The rest of the neighborhood knew about his antics too.
He mastered the chicken dance, a tango, and an old soft shoe.

My Friend Told Me This

Cooking is sexual and senual. Naught!
I must be distraught
To give this any more thought.
Be brave
Don't cave
Just smile, wave
And wonder how someone could get this 
Deprave
Or caught
Up in such a thought.
All the heat
The sweat, 
The mess, and the clean up isn't neat.
To be honest this is fought
With perils I wasn't taught.
I didn't feel any deceit just over wrought
Until I sought
As an after thought
The phone book for CALL IN--CARRY OUT.
