Short Primp Poems

Sparkly, petty, primp, and small
In the dusk they often call
Singing, dancing under mushrooms play
With tiny wings to carry them away
Abounding everywhere from sea to peak
Yet encaged in children's minds they keep

Hold up your wine glass,
Appreciate your friends,
Prpose your reselotions,
Primp up your spirit,
Your new year awaits

Never agin the same year,so,
Everybody blow your whistel,
When the cock hits twelve.

You and I,
Engadged in excitment as we awaits,
At the exact moment,
Ringing our bells at midnight....

I watched them
Primp and polish.
That pretty little doll
She sat quiet and still.

I watched them 
pluck and tease
 that pretty little doll
Pluck and tease.
Tease and pluck.
Her hair
Her makeup
Her clothes
All down to the last nail
Polished and shined

But when that 
Pretty little doll
Stepped into the sun
She was done.
For as it’s known
A pretty little doll
Can’t stand alone....

I preen and I primp.
I am all that and more really.
Other creatures avoid me.
I understand why.

They are intimidated by my beauty.
I am a hundred times prettier than my wife.
She has to be plain, so she can hide our eggs
In the tall brown grass.

But I can strut and do.
My crown waving in the wind.
People drive by and almost fall out of their cars
Watching me fan myself; for I am a gorgeous hunk of male....

She gushed and groveled and thanked me time and again.
For a small gesture, taking a speck of dust off her chin.
He on the other hand never said a word.
Although I gave him a million dollar gift.
Both instances a tiny bit absurd.

Some people bend over backwards in all kinds of ways
To preen and primp and provide way too much praise.
Others take advantage, and then act all tough
and angry because what you give them is never enough....

So many sleepless nights, while the darkness fills the house.
I sit there, lay there, roll there, flop there, while the darkness fills the house.
I swim in the pool, sweep the floor, read a book, while the darkness fills the house.
I shower, primp, and groom, while the darkness fills the house.
I write, I write, I ponder, I write, while the darkness fills the house.
The one thing I don’t do is sleep, while the darkness fills the house....

Live a little laugh sometimes
Fall into the summertime
Brush it off laugh away
Tears and fears and smears of blood
Dreaming hoping waiting wishing
Make it stretch a little more
Make it through another day
Pinch and poke and primp and stretch
Separate not and enough
Listen but don't speak your mind
Smile always smile girl
Don’t look so sad all the time
They don’t understand
You aren’t the sum of your parts
The geometric anomaly of life...

Prime Minister May
Set out one day
To Brexit a world gone astray

But President Trump
Just wanted to hump
'til the cows wandered home that day

Macron et Trudeau
Thought Brigitte Bardot
Might persuade the Donald to play

But such is our world
That Trump just unfurled
A cheque his attorney would pay

Of course Trump is rash
With taxpayer cash
He's not paid a dime that way

If that gets your goat
Putin has your vote
The GOP wins Primary Day!...
