On all my cheap stuff 
With a permanent no label  waterproof Magic marker 
Its magic
Works for me.

The silent light of love
Forms a halo above
And I a tiny firefly
With all my loving heart sigh
As it opens its arms wide
To accept me as a bride

Dipped in egg, rolled in crushed Premium saltine crackers,

Gifted a premium membership
I want to do a joyful backflip
But that may cause great harm
A sincere thanks with charm
Effort to write more I shall let rip

to light our path
our mind has shown
the way for every step
but still we have
so little unknown
of the steps we all have left

From their refuge on the ground --

Cute Casket Now Fill

Did drive dangerously taking a spill;
Died and my cute casket  I now fill;
In bright sun baking;
Then  heaven taking;
Premium membership never paid bill.

Hugs and kisses
Such a small thing
Hugs and kisses
Never a smile it misses
Many a king has died for this very thing
Such a deep pleasure it brings
Hugs and kisses

EPITAPH   FOR   A   POET


Words are fine if they are your last
But beware of too much poetry  lest
You miss your name  on  the honour  list
And your premium place in heaven is lost
And  all  because of  your  poetry-lust...

     Noise, the medium, of endless tedium 
       low decibel levels at a premium

     Female artists as naked as Eve    
       snake around poles the devil weaves

     Rubbernecks gawk, pay top dollar
       to writhe in sweaty squalor

You bring the mail unfailingly
In sun and wind and rain
With cheery smile and bright “Hello"
And "Turned out nice again"

May I suggest a strategy
To brighten all our lives
Bring a million pounds from Ernie
Instead of twenty-fives!!...

Not a sophisticated treat as such
Salt’s savor holds a piquant, premium touch,
It adds an ample zest to any dish,
It cures and pickles anything you wish.

Its ambidextrous essence roars!
Just keep away from open sores.

It can be too sweet.
Kindness can numb the tongue and irritate.
It can be too sweet,
but it can keep one from claiming defeat.
Causing the disinclined to suffocate,
or keeping locked away death’s early gate;
it can be too sweet.

The
Soup
Is my
Newest home.
Digital writings
Flood the domain as eyes scour
Pouring our hearts, souls, and minds on bleached sheets of paper.
The trial has completed and my home is chosen. Time for an upgrade to premium!

Johnny rode up with his rideable car pedals screeching and screaming.
The new gas station attendant asked the boss “is it me? Am I dreaming?”
Go out there and pretend, the boss said, “It makes the kid happy.”
“Premium gas please,” Johnny said to the attendant “and make it snappy”....

I'm making my way to Bulgaria
I hear their moussaka is ambrosial
I've tasted the Greek moussaka
the one that's made with eggplant

I hear that fancy Djanny Restaurant
of Sunny Beach is Bulgaria's finest
they favour premium potatoes
I bet it'll make it worth the trip
