So I write a poem for a dear friend 
On account of many happy days
Not to poke fun or offend
Intended to build up and praise
Angel, your awesomeness has no end!...

England’s acclaimed bard William Shakespeare
had a father whose jobs included tasting beer!
Lines from Shakespeare’s plays might put hearts aflutter
or poke fun; i. e., “Thou art as fat as butter.”...

Girls take it serious
Boys goof around, they act like 2-year olds
Stomp all around, laughing things that aren’t that funny,
Not taking life seriously
They laugh and poke fun not knowing
How they will soon be....

Here as words steer
Steer picture clear
Clear passage gears


Poke fun at yoke
Yoke in a joke
Joke that now strokes


Pay well for play
Play that sums say
Say that greets day

In the oven should I stick,
My haunted, harrowed head?
Or should I take my Pen and prick
My Will to Live instead?

Alas! the guilt! And, oh! The shame!
If just the Others knew!
They would place their embattled brains
In also, to broil, too...

My poor poems, neither rhyme nor scan, a scandal be damn, 

as grand grammarians grumble and crotchety critics cry tumbrels,

while trendy topic pickers poke fun at one so dumb, as so nice and precise 

mistresses (or masters) of the art pull me prettily apart; I just go my way -  

smile, sigh, ponder and pray that the Muses dear will inspire me without fear....

The people who love me.
I'm a crazy girl for them.
The people who hate me.
I'm a lousy gal for them.
The people who ruined my life.
I'm a broken reed for them.
The people who upbraid me.
I'm a hoyden for them.
The people who poke fun at me.
I'm a duffer for them.
The people who betrayed me.
I'm a dud for them.
The people who don't know me.
I'm a stranger to them....

Nature’s faith mental health
Love for all creation
In memoriam romance love of all humanity
Humor laugh, poke fun at
Cheers and jeers make jest
One’s misfortune not 
Humor nor is it laughable
...things aren't really how we feel
even though things are so very real

The Doctor Sobbed…..By Peter Onyancha

My doctor read
This letter to the letter
Shocked, Sobbed

Dear Doctor, I did –   

No ham, doc, No harm

I stuck to the steak too long
Now I go to the prairie
To pick an apple
And stick to it

I have let life to thrive
I have beef with beef
I chicken from chicken
No fun with pork
I poke fun with lamb
Just like that.

No ham, doc, No harm!
I’m done!!...

The things i have done
They would probably shock everyone

The way she looked at me
I Couldnt apolygize for i wasnt free

I had to run from the pulling up blue lights
I had to run before we entered their sights

Was she bleeding
Or am i imagining

I want to go back and see her and her son
But than my friends will only poke fun

I am going to say this the best way I can
I hope you look at me as a man

I'M SORRY!!!...

An awkward chuckle
Escapes my lips 
White knuckles
Teeth grit

I don’t poke fun
Or humiliate
I get your pun
It isn’t great

I bear the burden
Of your ego
My introversion
Takes the blow

The problem is
You’re not clever
As lame as it is
I must endeavor 

Feeling abashed
And quite dumbfounded
I chose to stash
How bad you sounded

I lose the grace
I had before
To save your face
I shake my core

Asymmetrical 
Gawky, inept 
Your spectacle
My debt...

When we were little
The trampoline would be
Pregnant with a jumble of our arms and legs

When we ruled the school way back
In Elementry School we would
Poke fun at the little fourth graders

When we entered Middle School
We did it together
Holding Hands, our hearts beating wildly

Years went by
We got older
But still, we enter everything together

Holding hands
Our hearts beating wildly

Sisters by soul
but
Friends Forever

Teachers are leaving the profession in waves
Stating that it is too difficult, the parents are impossible
Children are disrespectful, there is not enough money in it
Some of them are right to leave.
I am glad they are going.
Teaching is not for everyone.

If you do not have patience
If you are quick to lose your temper
If you poke fun of people
If you are a bully
If you have no sense of humor or sense of fair play
Please leave our profession.
Teaching is not for everyone....

Some people can shrug off their failures
Or laugh at their feeble attempts,
While others, like me,
Find frustration to be
What an aptitude never exempts.

For when trying to learn a new skill set,
If I find myself really inept,
I get into a funk
With my confidence shrunk
And there’ve even been times I have wept.

Oh, I envy those shrugging-off people
Who poke fun at their silly mistakes,
Though it’s our DNA
Which has made us this way,
So I guess we should cut us some breaks.
