Short Prohibition Poems

i have a pear
shaped mandolin
depression era
that has surely
sinned in
speakeasies
in the '30's
because my
fingering has
never been so
beautifully

Much Sin Prevention

In Southern use God and Son as an exemption,
Which always will result in much sin prevention. 
Add an evangelist,
To your long list,
And also have a period of Trump prohibition.

Smoking is an act of prohibition 
In many religions 
For many reasons 
It’s a suicide,Waste,harmful
Pollution and so bad 
Religions are God’s ways 
Prohibitions to keep away
Heaven is a prohibition
All violating prohibitions...

My father was stellar, made 
Prohibition whiskey in the cellar, 
put oil of the olive in the center 
of his avocado, was no Clarence 
Darrow, but was catnip to women,
left some in sorrow, ate prime 
red meat like Ribeye and Porter-
house, saved his T- bone at dinner 
not for Spot our terrier, but for me, 
darling daughter. Now, wasn't 
that curious? Not to mention
a bit spurious.  A bone for his
daughter, for Spot, Not!...

Dollars don't grow on trees
Spilling secrets saving scenes
Faltering for all the world to see
Uncongenial uncontrollability 
sucking life right out of me  

Where do simple answers lay
brooding stables they can stay
jumping hurdles as I pray
pressing for another day
feeling sun gods golden ray

pretentious prohibition
losing hope and inhibition
fame costing an exhibition
slowly caught attrition
lost is the attraction...

Elect

election and prohibition
cavaliers of discresstion
president of election
commissions of the government
suits high orders
decisions with fund-raisers
Washington awards leaders
makebeleivers
deceivers
ankle bighters
tight rope divers
diplomatic survivors
germanium priestess
less to gems and old tyrants
speaking the words of listeners
illuminate fire breathers

Prohibition began one hundred years ago in the USA.
People had their right to drink booze taken away.
This made people unhappy and they began to whine.
And this caused Al Capone to start peddling moonshine.
Capone was evil and because of him, people were killed.
On December 5 1933, the 18th Amendment was repealed.
People were very happy because prohibition came to an end.
They were as giddy as school girls to have the right to drink again....

Ignoring the distance prohibition
    I was visited today by an audacious caller
          Defiantly coming within an inch of me
                And waving  three times before
                    Taking flight as swiftly as he had appeared;
                           No doubt believing that his status outranked
                                     Transient man-made stipulations!

For whom shall I vote?
There are too many voices
saying come here, don't go there.
If I'm not cold I'm at least lukewarm
to political drones throwing stones;
the demented or the dictator? 

I might look elsewhere.

If I vote for the Prohibition Party 
will I have to give up my vices? 
Perhaps I'll just roll the dices~
if they land on thirteen or the old Jolly Roger,
maybe I'll become the three thousand and first 
member of the primed Pirate Party!

The Art of the spoken word
Is east
Jerusalem 
Ornate 
Probate of the money lenders 
Who tender purity and security 
For a price
Gods children are willing to pay 
Because they are the sheep
On which the idol's seek
Prohibition 
The body and the blood 
Never knowingly 
Roots are tales 
Into the afterlives 
Slave's integrate 
At the table of former master's 
Free at last 
Free at last 
If only my children could see me now
It would all be worth while 
My Child...
