And it seems in a predicament I am now caught......

Nasty predicament flows

O help me!  I've fallen
And I can't get it up!
I'm stuck here acrawlin'
Up a Double-D cup

Now don't let us dicker
I am over the hill
Just be a mite quicker
Slipping me that blue pill!...

My mind is sound
  It's tightly wound
Its thoughts roam free
  They are unbound

My imagination is King
  if not 'officially' crowned
No huzzahs yet resound --
  Tho opportunities abound......

Hank’s Predicament
Limerick: by Tom
7/27/2022

I once knew a man named Hank,
while in the army drove a tank.
Then one day’s dread,
the tank lost a tread.
At that time Hank's mind went blank.

Russian flag is a hammer and sickle
Now their president is in a pickle
Down the stairs, a messy heap
Making threats he cannot keep
Vladimir Putin's not worth a nickel.

Rise up from poverty 
Get off of those streets 
There is nothing but uncertainty 
You never know the predicament that you may meet 
Take back your life 
Move towards the light 
Get out of the darkness 
And make your life bright...

...with apologies to WW


I wandered lonely as a cloud
until my feet got wet.
I struggled through the 
undergrowth and found myself
beset by insects all around, 
my temper wholly spent,
to hell with yellow daffodils
and my predicament!...

 An ugly, wriggly worm got into his trousers, wiggling and crawling
Reached a place he couldn't scratch, making him wobbling and howling

Denied a beer
no I.D.
only eighteen,
so naturally he bought
a semi-auto rifle.

The silent mad
go bad.
Such a predicament.

Sorrow weeps, reason sleeps.

Background checks
buried now in graveyard grounds.

No more back to school....

I struggled through the

my temper wholly spent,
to hell with yellow daffodils
and my predicament!

Where would a student go 
If there was no education 
The predicament would not be pretty 
Nothing but pure frustration 
The doors will be closed 
And opportunity passes you by 
One cannot function accordingly 
Darkness follows that person endlessly...

Where will I find that one-best thing
to say in that way that is best

better words keep falling to paper

and falling but
say I find you instead

and falling in love I keep falling

and falling
what better hoped for or said

Love is always its best...

...to William Wordsworth


I wandered lonely as a cloud 
and then my feet got wet. 
I struggled through the 
undergrowth and found myself 

beset by insects nibbling at my 
breast, my temper wholly spent;
to hell with yellow daffodils 
and my predicament!...

Wild and desolate land
                          withholds hope, suffocates
               winds whip hot with warnings
        weary wanderers faint
wretched predicament.
        Where can one escape fate?
            Watch for a Redeemer.

At the crack of dawn 
The sight of the early morn 
We rise and start over again 
Another chance to brighten things my friend 
Through the crystal clear air 
There are gentle hearts that show that they care 
Always the one to use words of encouragement 
So others can be in a better predicament...

A spider disgusted with itself
murmured: Why do I trap a harmless fly
on a web of my dark devising,
spin him a shroud, then suck him dry? 

A frog listening below, feeling pity 
at the spider’s predicament so grim,
did the only merciful thing he knew  
when the spider fell through – he swallowed him....

Should not be too difficult
to guess who this is.

In Predicament and Vehement

Always knew when he had been in a predicament,
As usual would become upset and also vehement;
Adult here hope,
Who knows rope;
Only detected  childishness in his each comment.

Is there an adult in the room?

B-eat the asymptomatic ailment, 
I-n every ill individual; 
N-ations are in jeopardy, 
G-lobal state is critical.

L-ife is at risk these days, 
A-bsobing its predicament; 
D-efeat the difficult condition, 
R-epel the asymptomatic 
A-ilment.
