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.

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

...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!

Verse
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

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

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.

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.

Good evening boys.
We’re here to play not to pray. Oh God
That’s an unsuitable predicament for a garage band. Let’s
play some down to earth music
not some praise the Lord too high for your voice whining
music. Your hands belong on necks, not on books
your fingers should press strings,
not brandish gold rings..

In hospital after the crash, I lost my ability to walk.
He said he had to go. Last time I ever heard him talk.
Knowing this, I thought my loving heart would burst.
And now I know that if he can’t love me at my worst.
Then he doesn’t deserve me when I am at my best.
My predicament had sadly put him to the test.

Out of the Ordinary
Not only was it out of the ordinary
It ended up being extraordinary
Middle or lower class never been
Can't understand predicament we are in
Ain't gonna be easy and may be gory.

I used to do it all
But it was never enough
I’d go over and above
I’d do better than my best
And still it wasn’t up to par
Now I barely do enough
And guess what~
I’m in no worse predicament
It still isn’t enough
But at least I know why
Yes it still sucks
But finally
I’m ok with it

Getting down the chimney, Santa got stuck
Belly got tautened while trying to duck
All over smeared with black soot
His face got dark like his boot
Rescue force came to move him in a truck

Staring uneasily through the smoke I do
Put myself in this predicament with nothing to gain but a vacant mind.
But then again. . .Inspiration comes with a price to pay.
Incomplete connections spell-check my ambitions
Only this time, I know it will be different.
Delete the next line for sensitivities sake
You will never know the real me, and I choose to keep it that way.

I shoved my fingers into a paper shredder to trim my nails.
But it shredded my fingers and it hurt like hell.
People stare because I have stumps instead of fingers.
I had to give up my career of being a country singer.
Listen to my advice so that my predicament isn't some thing you'll have to endure.
Don't be an idiotic moron like me, if you need your nails trimmed, get a manicure.
