The Cleaning Lady's Short Rant

I loathe sifting the vile cat litter and scrubbing the damn tile
Now if you’ll excuse me I think I’ll shriek and shout for just awhile!!!

Haiku Rant

It's five, seven, five
You MUST count the syllables
Or it's not Haiku

Having said this thing
I must now apologize
Haiku should be kind

punish my honey
drink my creamy dream

eat my children between fat-bread

Stulted pedantic canker-bloom
Your bird-plucked eyes
will gas-up and advertise

Realized Trump Went On Rant

Realized Trump Went On Rant

Realized when Trump went on a rant,
Because again was told that he can't,
Start a storm,
Even if warm;
Measured mind and only saw a scant.

From a Rant at 2AM

I know you
lived too long.
I used to 
think I did too.

But, I can't 
teach you this.

I'm busy
teaching myself
to be 
nothing like you.

Rotten work
, picking scabs.

But no one
can do it but you.

Premium Member Cry More Rant

Cormorant
diving deep
on feathers
saturated   so
still
your wings spread
your need
to dry enough to fly
as I
from deep
emotion full
saturated   so
long
this need
to cry myself dry
before
I too may be
light enough to fly

Rant X

I want to write what I'm feeling inside as writer blocks denies. Mix emotions in a bottle got me polar opposite in limbo. What a Surprise... What a Surprise myself is trying ain't showing the truest feelings that lies.

Premium Member Dad Rant - Bawdy

You will not be a Bunny Girl
I simply will not have it
I will not let you work in bars
While dressed up like a rabbit 

Men will grab your bottom
And thrust money down your drawers
And some will turn quite violent
If they feel those balls of yours

A Rant

What would  I want to say,
If I could rant today? 
Don't waste your time, okay!
No hard feelings, my way,
No need to be dramatic,
Whinging is pathetic,
Sniveling I ignore, my way,
Ain't misbehaving, anyway,
Don't snivel about chicks.
Off buns, other birds exist!

Premium Member Rant

I been left, abandon
I've been right, seldom

Run away from the correspondence
Hide me from my sinful self

I've been found, forgiven
Freed from my prison

Been brought and sold by my choices
Now I'm listening to heavenly voices

Driving Me Mad

I’m keeping my temper, goshdarnit and crud!
But these f-ing a-holes are boiling my blood!!
I’M TALKING TO YOU, YOU [word censored; too graphic]!!!
(I really don’t like normal rush-hour traffic.)

Pencil Rant

Where the hell is my pencil
It was right here
How could it disappear
It's bright freaking orange
The floor is black
So where is it
It's not on the desk
Does this things have wings 
Not under the chair 
Or on my chair
Damn
Under the desk...No
I can't believe this s...
I could pull my hair out
Oh...  It's behind my ear

Sorry

Premium Member A Rant

When is a bribe a compromise?
What do you do when you see red?
Britain no longer belongs to us.
Some things you hate more than others.

Things that get my goat
Rude or bad drivers
Children out of control
Know it all's.

Notch on the bedpost guys
People who try to show one up
and finally old age
That's enough for now.

The Salty Sea Rant(Looney Version)

Sailing ship to port
Tis evening or is it day
With time my brain has wilted fray
I steer the ore
I yell my salt
If I crash, tis not my fault
I repeat the fault I have in mind

Steering the ship to port
Under attack as well
Blue roosters under a spell
Squirting lemon juice
Tis simply not my day

Or so I tell my psychiatrist often.

Premium Member Black Friday Rant

It should come as no surprise
that devil has evil eyes.  
The day after the Thanks is done,
the greed for self gain has begun.
The sale of the year has just a few
of the items that cause tempers to spew.
And while yes it is true
stores have done it different the past year or two.
Friday morning the stores will host
shoppers that demand the most.

Premium Member Rant and Rave

You rant and rave...
“There is no God”
Rant and rave
Rant and rave
“Or if he lives
All that he gives
is…
War, famine, and catastrophes…
Death, sickness and atrocities….”
Rant and rave
Rant and rave
“God is dead
GOD IS DEAD”
All you ever do
is….
Rant and rave
Rant and rave
But when you face your grave
Rant and rave
Rand and rave
Changes to….
“God please save!
God please save!"

We'Ve Got Issues Too, a Masked Rant

Why do you act like you own me,
be careful,
confidence is an unequal attitude you know,
it can turn you into a violent creature,
questioning not authority, nor yourself,
yet confronting everyone,
with confident paranoid ranting,
star spangled banter,
rocking the boat at any cost,
adding science fiction to fact,
then subtracting desperate tries to turn cog insecurity,
into a star mask.

Premium Member Foolish Rant

foolish rant


Wash my feet before I go to sleep,
Rub my eye before I cry;
Tap my tummy before I spend money,
SCREAM Halleluiah instead of "at a boy".
Cry out  "JESUS"  when I stub my toe;
Now all of this you didn't want to  know;
:)    ha!  then wha ya readin this fo!
                LOL

Premium Member Tie-rant-a-sour-us Rump

a tyrant soar-ass
press-a-dent dump

now wants to
f--- up canada

and crap his
uselessness

on americas
closest friend

he's just a spoiled child

companies test
applicants practicality

and psycho-logical
minds before hiring

but a circus clown now
has the macro-phone

and as america's leader
continues to introduce

his political  dye-area
in one form or another

Cynical Rant

I rave and rant
And love no more
Reason’s been shown the door
The memory of an elephant
Is badly hurt and sore!
 
Good times I remember not
Cynicism has taken its place
I think it’s a great disgrace
To think halcyon times
Were just a phase!
 
A tender smile, a loving word
I give a motive now
I don’t believe an ardent vow
It’s just some words you see
Phrased nicely to stop a row!............

Rant

SOAKING AGONY
BRUISED SPIRIT
LONGING TO BREATHE FREE
LOST BEAUTY
CAGED ANIMAL
PANTING IN SOLITUDE
PRIMAL ACHING
THIS HOPELESS AFFLICTION
CALLED LOVE
OUR SICKNESS HAUNTS US
NO LONGER
BROKEN TIES 
THAT BIND
HEALING OPEN WOUNDS
FROM THIS TERRIBLE AFFLICTION
CALLED LOVE
I HAVE EXHAUSTED MYSELF
IN EFFORT TO WIN YOUR LOVE
AND THIS IS THE THANKS I GET
SO MUCH 
FOR THIS
HORRIBLE
ING
AFFLICTION
CALLED LOVE.
