In baseball, a player may bunt
In football, a player may punt
But in bedroom sports
A lady cavorts
In a frantic search for a runt...

how do I feel
these memories so strong
still remembering
that punt to Grantchester
my falling into the Cam
the High tea in the orchard...

The Garden of Eden had a snake
That slithered around when on the make
It found that Eve
Fit like a sleeve
'til Adam's apple snagged the mistake...

Working on a poem
Struggling with the form
Results are slow going
Feeling pretty worn

Probably going to punt it
Just go back to rhyme
Work on my assonance
Somewhere down the line...

I See Some Said Las's Manners Died

Am afraid inappropriate words rhyme with stunt,
I prefer not to hunt down so I shunt to be blunt,
Walking death,
In each breath,
Or have to punt though sure am such a little runt.

Feline Football- English Haiku

    Cat on all fours crouched.
    Grape football hit with 
    swift paw.
    Punt, calico wins!

If I were a guy…I’d…

Go on a hunt
Learn to punt
Fix my own brakes
Eat rare steaks
Sport long johns
Stomp on tampons
Start bar fights
Ignore red lights
Swing a big axe
Stare at huge racks
Pack a huge luger
Nail a rich cougar!

A mode of transportation
By which low class pair
Does feel so raised in status
Reserved to deem it
For queeny Love, fit!

Waist coated, by one handled
Grandly debonair.
Open carriaged, a route a-float!
As smooth, sweet praise-strewed
Lily-avenued!

Once upon a time,
There was a mysterious kingdom,
Full of green vegetation,
Rich treasures and exotic animals.
People traded gold, ebony, 
Ivory and frankincense,
With ancient Egypt.
It was a prosperous land,
Thousands of years ago.
But then something may have happened!
In that faraway land,
To that incredible civilization.
Nobody knows, 
IT VANISHED!...

It takes a big, strong guy to play on defense.
However, you need more than brawn.  You need intelligence.
You can’t let that offense run wild on game day.
Make them use their three downs, and they have to punt away.
As a defensive lineman, your sights are on the quarterback.
Penetrate that backfield, and throw him for a loss with a sack.
That gives your own offense the chance to win the game.
Play at all-star caliber, and you can make yourself a name.

The presidency was his aim,
With his kids, he treats it like a game,
But with madmen beside em,
They couldn’t beat Biden,
And now there’s just two months of shame!

His buildings look great from the front,
On the presidency took a punt,
He expected to lose,
All his actions confuse,
So anomalies he tries to hunt!

Less time spent on Covid than hair,
Payoffs to hide every affair,
Now Biden has won,
The countdown has begun,
And from Jan 20 no longer there!
