Put It All Together
Arrangements of words can exist
So limericks end with a twist
This jolt to the brain
Is the final refrain
Of a punch line not to be missed...

Unremarkable
There was a young lady from Potton
Whose name I've completely forgotten
In fact, I recall
Simply nothing at all
So this punch line is gonna be rotten....

TURKEY III
The turkey ran when he saw the pot
He remembered that the pot was hot
He got away the first time
By using a t-smart punch line
A poster was out, shoot him on spot...

Limerick Syllable and Meter
Limericks are no fun counting syllable or meter
Although it may seem to look rather neater
I have people in fits
Writing with one hand on my bits
Long as the punch line is corny makes it sweeter

LIMERICK
LIMERICK?
I thought a Limerick I would write.
I’d make it quite funny, keep it light.
I got carried away
I am sorry to say.
To reach the punch line merry and bright,
I needed six lines; that can’t be right

Poet Destroyed??
Poet Destroyer!
Billy the kidster got shot.
My draw is quicker!
Poet Destroyer!
The Joker was the punch line.
My slams entertain!
Poet Destroyer!
Your words have earned my respect,
And earned my challenge!
Poet Destroyer!
Do not underestimate
Your new challenger!
Poet Destroyer!
Tell your "boyfriend" that I said
"Do not miss a word!"...

Punch Line
B-urst out laughing at punch line,
O-nce you know the meaning;
N-ice joke at the break of dawn
I-s bringing fun to the morning.
P-unch line every evening
I-s a real stress reliever;
N-ovember thirtieth Thursday
E-ndorses a warm weather.
D-elightful phrase that makes the point is healthy to heart and mind;
A-llow your life to be happy, understanding the punch line....

As He Sleeps
I was a fool
To believe that you loved me
To fall for that cosmic joke
As if I didn't know the punch line
Now as I watch you sleep
Your face has changed
This moment gives birth
To doubt and despair
And I search your face
To find a glimpse
Of the source of my devotion
But no sign of love remains
Clarity offers revelation
I am alone after all
Oddly comforting, though
The honesty of truth...

What's In a Name
That just sounds like another Que,
But I guess it will have to Dew.
Standing on the stage with Mi throat too Di,
I could almost start to cry.
But then I saw Hugh in the crowd
And almost laughed out loud.
Your nerves were Wilder than mine
Which reminded me of my punch line.
After Al was said and done,
I did have a Lot of fun.
I couldn’t Wade for my next Turner,
If Edwin, I’d take my career further....

Rainy Day Thoughts, 2
~ Jagrav ~
Iced tea in a steel glass. A book kept on the table
never to be touched. Change stuffed into a pocket.
The smell of freshly steamed momos. Silent moments
of waiting. Shuffling through the pictures from the past.
So many stories. The readiness of telling them all.
Forgetting the punch line. Knowing too much and too
little at the same time. Them caring and denying it.
If a person could be called ethereal, it would be them....

Insomniac
INSOMNIAC
I clean up my dreams
They shine well, it seems
So spake the fake when I awake
O’ the horrid sights I see
When eyelids are in front of me
Many nights hiding in bed
From disasters in my head
The pun will run towards the sun
The day and night are a joke
The banshee’s howl, the punch line broke
I can never sleep, or rest
I’m looking east but running west
No escapes from gaping shapes
Swallowed by the fear and doubt
Digested whole and **** back out...

I do not know?
May December
Can you grow old
with someone thirty years younger
Will you listen to music
without experiences attached
Can you look at her mother
and not see your old prom date
Will you laugh at her jokes
with the punch line unknown
Can you watch her enliven
as you worry in secret
Will you accept both her children
without rejecting your own
Can you tell her the truth
wrapped in lies of forgetting
Will you walk into the sunset
—still holding her hand
(The New Room: January, 2022)...
