My boyfriend acted like a loon
He and I wasn’t in tune
When I called it quits
He gave me the s
Then tells me he’s moving to the moon...

Repeat of the four-year refrain
Pits demented versus insane
We who are pundits
Say please call it quits
And would toast their obits with champagne...

Herschel Walker thinks life is the pits
Because women will not call it quits
Facebook #1
Spoiled all of Trump's fun
And its driving him out of his wits!...

Lizzie performed many tricks,
She excelled at doing the splits,
One day she made the audience gasp
When she split herself in half.
Now Lizzie's act is in two bits...

Slap my wrist
And it's aching
But I'm calm
Show me danger
Call it quits
But I'm calm
Stiffen up
Struggle loosely
But I'm calm
Undermined
And determination
In my palm,I am calm...

I'm working on a poem
And it's giving me fits
I guess I'll have to work it out
Or just call it quits.

But if I call it quits
I fear what you might miss
So I'll just bow my neck
And pray it will make sense....

It never quits
My dad's h i t s
I see myself in the mirror
And I am to become
But I just go numb
It hurts to see
What all he has done to me
It never fails
When he hears me wail
It never quits
My dad's h i t s...

Those oh so shapely legs give me fits.  
I would die just to see where they quits.  
I can't but fantasize 
'cause I know that the prize 
lies close by, up front near where she sits.

Knowing when to call it
When to say it doesn't fit 
It can be a decision that is hard
That you have reached the final yard
So take your licks and call it quits
Then get onto something new that will fit.

Two men were thrown into separate pits
But one was wise enough to use his wits
He built stairs to climb free
And then decreed with glee,
"A winner is the one who never quits!"

Winter is surly.
Eagerly early,
Spring overtakes.
Not left behind
I hurry to find
Clippers and rake.
Each bud and blossom
Quits playing possum.
Appearances make.
Responsive resurgence,
Fixed on fast forward,
Nature awakes!

Silently signaled,
Eagerly early
Spring overtakes
Not left behind
I hurry to find
Clippers and rakes.
Each bud and blossom
Quits playing possum
Appearance makes.
Responsive resurgence, 
Fixed on fast forward,
Nature awakes.

A CLOSE SHAVE

Shel married a wife with armloads of fur.
He was very unkind, he did beat her.

         Smothers - never quits.
         Makes her shave her pits.

Smirking, she sharpens her blade on the cur.

two-thousand-four
losers no more

Boston Red Sox
out of the rocks

contenders again
beginning to win

three word series wins
no more Babe Ruth sins

now Ortiz calling it quits
won't send the Sox to the pits

for they're stronger than strong
without doing a wrong...

The work that I do
Doesn’t seem to be enough
The world wants some more

I sigh its crazy
What I give isn’t enough
What else can I do

I do what I can
Whether or not it’s enough
I hope that it is

I leave it alone
Just as it is and enough
I call it quits here

What happens to a heart broken?

Does it dissipate vaguely like a wave in the ocean?

Or bleed like a punctured wound-
and then die?

Does it flame like burning fire?
Or crash and burn forever-
like a blazing rose?

Maybe it just quits like a forgotten love..

Or does it mend itself?...

Is that what i feel when i am in company and still feel left out?
Is that when someone i loved walked out of my life?
Is it when my best friend and i fought and our friendship was quits?
i am still alone and searching for an inner meaning to loneliness
and the more i search i realise the lonelier i am...

Feel fine fill
Quest quits quill


Scent sweet strains
Grand glimpse gains


Love lights loft
Sweet scents soft


Bear bright bloom
Reap rich room


Taste touch thrill
Wise words will


Wise ways walk
Taste thought talks


Clear calm craft
Dress dream draft

Creates dark cracks in bits or as large as pits
Happiness shrinks for this horror and quits
Anger, ready to open its tool kits
Growing steadily to make its next hit
Raging mind and not ready for a seat
Inner feeling, crushing social biscuits
Not enough for the heart to grow some teeth....

As the poet writes and pours it out
Emotions end his weeks of drought
Inspiration comes from within
He puts it on paper, so the story begins
People read and people relate
His poetry gives people hope and restores their faith
He writes about the good things in life
One of these days he will be hailed
A poet who never quits, can never fail....

The lace was beginning to split
from years of doing the splits.
It grew ever wider
till deep down inside her
she knew it was time to call quits.

She wanted to buy a new pair,
but customers started to stare.
She felt a soft breeze
just south of her knees
as atheists said a quick prayer.
