Some plead: “Excuse him, it’s a quirk”.  Others rebuke: “Not so, he’s just a jerk”.

quirk of fate
plans are changed
heart cheerfully adapts
the vast vibrant void too smiles 
beaming at nonchalance
as innocence oozes 
blissful fragrance

Weasels With Measles

What they were are a bunch of weasels,
Who paint much and love their easels;
As A quirk;
Eat their work;
Many faces on pictures had the measles.

F urry and soft, never a threat.
E ach cat that I have ever met,
L onging for pet.

N othing can match their feline smirk.
E each one berserk....

There once was a jerk from Sarasota
Who fondled a nice girl named Dakota
She sued him for cause
To control his paws
To avoid time, he fled in a Toyota.

Quirk and Jerk

In nature, Trump was found to be  quirk;
That to me always proved he was a jerk;
Seemed short-sighted;
Even though knighted;
As President he has even become berserk.

Barrage in a Message Contained in A Decoupage

We had been bombarded by a big barrage',
Seemed so bad that we needed a message',
Saw quirk,
In art work;
Did dispose along with a delicate decoupage'.

The countryside is ablaze with colour
But leaves fall when the winds get gustier
Causing much work
We pay for this quirk
With permanently attached leaves I'd be much happier

Abigail Kirk lived in outback town Burke,
A hotel receptionist, she had a slight quirk,
Her rather long ponytail stretched to the floor,
After a few years it had grown much more,
She sold it to ten bald men and retired from work....

work work work
sleep sleep work
this is my life
I am a jerk

work work work
sleep sleep work
why do I do it?
is this a strange quirk?

work work work
sleep sleep work
where is my joy and passion?
Where does enthusiasm lurk?...

I happened by a Valentine
on my old way to work
When she would stop and stare at me
for what was just a quirk

When we would live our lives together
for marriage meant to be
When she would say our time together
was just what we could see...

Poets at work, soul search for rhythm
Sacred geometry 
At play within mind-body prism
In continuity 

As love for love does long 
The koel sings it song
Carrying all along

Passion’s quirk 
Poets at work

I swear I wouldn’t wear a smirk 
if I lost the errands that lurk;
No need for an adult style quirk;
I’d rather work; I’d rather work;

Give me a monotonous day 
I will clock in without delay;
It may seem bizarre that’s okay;
I’ll take cliche’; I’ll take cliche’....

Whilst contemplating my love of past
from then til now and all contrast,
Surprised that here I've carried through 
sentimentally anew.
Unconscious there when never measured 
sacredness in heart I treasured,
Though awakened from curious quirk-
my love within was all my work....

You must taste just like urban art,
all that swag dripping from your smirk;
Contours of tag lines show your heart,
a masterpiece with skilled brushwork;
So stylish with that nouveau quirk,
your scent won’t abide dilution;
With a word you drive crowds berserk;
On the mic you’re revolution....

A prayer answered a fluke it's not
God has come to help he ask for nought
So give your thanks by showing you care
Become the answer to a prayer
  
This whole creation was made to work
Didn't just happen it's not a quirk
It's just as simple as this short rhyme
Make a circle in place of a line...

Quirk of fate

it was a quirk of fate
that i met my fate
that date
when she walked 
of my dreams
into my life
and became my wife
that date
when due to that quirk
of cosmic fate
we met that date
and the rest
well was just 
a quirk of fate

WORKING UNDER BRIGHT LIGHTS AT HOME







My quirk is I don’t like this work;  I just lurk in the murk and smirk.
 
My wife does not shirk. I irk her but her perk is to call me a lazy jerk.

I quit! Yippee! I'm through with work
  with taking orders from some jerk
slaving away for some worthless perk
  like a title of 'senior associate filing clerk'

Yet I find it odd, through some kind of quirk
   that deep within me yearnings lurk
to return to what I'd longed to shirk
   ~ Yup, time to punch in and go back to work...

Pinecone mold creatures in the forest lurk
Dropped by elves and faerie on an autumn day
Collecting them should be difficult work
There is an underlying mist so light and gray 

From this enjoyable task I do not shirk.
Lightly tiptoeing through the leaves today 
Mushroom hunting is my happiest quirk.
Boots step gingerly careful of the fey...
