a venerable morning
scorning
the absence
of destiny
all for free
for naught
is me

from this
race of man
for all 
to see...

producing pennywise putrid party planners
predicting positive pristine professional prunes
procrastinating, politely puffing popsicle pros...

A competitive poet with ego galore
is always "one upping" to even some score.
They disguise their sarcasm in metaphors.
Most of the time I politely ignore as
no one needs a poetry war....

Language
is required
to go insane

The beasts of
the forest
politely refrain

Words
ever forming
into a net

Trapping
insanity
—the tighter they get

They politely accepted with glee.
The butler remarked, ”Aren’t YOU tall!”
For you, our chairs are too small.
So they drank tea from outside — quite hap’ly...

To increase the day's hours by just two or three
Not asking for much

Knowledge might be very bad
Being moron or case that is borderline
So was asked politely to resign
Now we are happy and very glad.

Would increase the day's hours by just two or three
Not asking for much
My heart would be touched
Right now there's not even time for a pee...

Playing and Praying

While a piano had been politely playing,
To God was graciously praying and praying;
My fingers manipulated,
And great song created;
When fingers stopped straying and ricocheting.

I feel so loved tonight....by you.
Honey,
I sing to you.
And you say how good my voice is.
I tell you funny stories,
That are funny only to me,
You laugh so politely.
That's how I know you love me.......

Jeremiah feels the heat forthrightly
His donations lower more than slightly
While the plate is passing
Seems surely it’s fasting
As it stops and dangles politely

Don't know if “delicious” can describe today
Another I can think of is perhaps “yee-haw, olay!”
Ye ole sun's shining brightly
I tip my hat politely
Sounds like I'm from a time when gentlemen were all gay...

Faces smiling, nodding politely 
At words they don't seem 
To understand,

Show me pictures,
Showing the richness of
A faraway distant land,

Multicoloured motor cars,
Brown apartments 
Rising high in Puerto Rican skies....

There was an anthill that got in my way.
I politely told them to leave that day.
Move on! Be festive. 
And I shall let you live.
I put away the spray, and they obeyed.

Interrupting is rude, son.
But Daddy….
Not one more word. Understand? 
Stern look.
Child asks, “What if….”
I MEAN IT!
So five-year-old child sits politely beside window
Watching as hijackers steal their family’s blue Chrysler Caravan....

When I finally met St Peter at the Gate
He politely asked me if I would wait..
He thought he should ask  God
If he should let in this old broad..
Normally I would never have passed,
But my devil costume was such a blast.....


For Tony's contest.....

In my hyper activity
I try to gain validity
With rampant veracity
I search out social equality
I do all this so readily
And always politely
Do not go out blindly
But will go out bravely
Even when blustery
Will always go calmly
I can be so silly
Won’t you agree...
