When suddenly he had to poop

No toilet paper there!
But FOX News picked up an hot scoop!

Premium Member Just Off of the Press

Unsubstantial evidence hums. Unclear to the media bums. Just off of the press - There’s still no confess. A story sans lucid outcomes.

Premium Member Compromised Press

Merco press combines economic and political
I fail to see how? it can be truly analytical.'
Its zone is grey at very best' any claim to 
Equal reporting must be put to the test.!

Trusting the Press

In the past, people trusted the press. For the press had a certain noblesse. But today, I would say, trust has withered away — we are now very hard to imPRESS.

Premium Member Chewing At the Press Conference

Let’s give him the nickname of Sayles. In suit, he does chomp at his nails. Preoccupied schlub gnaws down to the nub. A shame as he chews at details. 7/14/2022
Wow! True story!

Press With Stress To Straighten Out Mess

Press With Stress To Straighten Out Mess

What we really wanted to do was press,
Down hard to straighten out the mess;
Then do select,
What to correct;
Should emphasize with much stress.

Mutuality

Mutuality

She gave me her heart
In exchange
For that of mine own
And in that moment
Of mutuality
We both won
The lottery

I'M Tempted To Press Delete

I’m tempted to press delete
And erase my every memory of you
I wrote these words for you
They are not permanent
A click of the button
Obliterates those scripts
If it was that easy
To expunge you from my mind
You’d already be gone

Two Mutes In the Press Room

Two Mutes in the Press Room


The two mutes we hired
to wheel hot type 
are bickering again

Their fingers 
quicker than beaks of cocks 
tear the air

with perfect curses
tongues never utter
ears never hear

Press Play

I have your skin cells under my nails,
a patch of hair between my fingers

your scent clouds me, like paradise wrapped around eve

our bath water is yellow and beautiful,
I close my eyes, 

press play

can you hear the music of our kisses?

Press Me

Most people want to make their mark
but leave a mess instead,
by stomping in with heavy boots
where Angels fear to tread.

The deep impressions that you made
weren't obvious from the start;
but the marks you made on others' lives
were pressed upon the heart.

                      Life can be a mess

Press On

Was loyal to everyone around
My affection went in vain
I prayed started losing friends
My love, time, advice, and affection was a tool 
Tool to manipulate my feelings to their advantage 
My heart still desire to love them 
Learned everyone don't have the same heart as you
In life we have to walk in love and press on

Press Not the Panic Button

P-ress not the panic button, 
R-emain calm and composed; 
E-motions not in control
M-ake ears and eyes closed.

E-rrors are not made, 
S-econd morn November; 
T-hough clouds are dark, 
R-ain won't harm the river.
A-llow your life to brave
D-istress on your horizon; 
A-llow not hands to quiver, press not the panic button.

Premium Member I Press Decline

It’s one of my friends,
calling me at her convenience.
That’s not how I do phones.
I do not feel guilty as I press decline.
I have a policy of only speaking to people
When it is convenient for me.
She lost her three hour window.
Maybe tomorrow I think.
I am enjoying my day, my way.
After I raised three daughters, I claim my time as my own.

Press

Press hard my friend
To see the end
Dont worry if you win
Fate is not your kin
My lasting thought
I swear I aught 
To wear and tout 
The spring has frought 
Penance is paid
Pain is laid
I rouse this maiden of staunch confused cadence.
The stench of death is the only fragrance
But im alive you see
Birthed in this fools venture, but free

Press Here

the crowd died
down as the speaker 
tapped the microphone
saying test one test two can

you all hear
me as camera
shutters snapped
and flashes flew just

to capture
a glimpse of
what might maybe
be history being made

but the speaker
simply said that he'd
written a lot of poetry but
no one had any comments so

he
quietly
walked
away
