Life; And Who Was Born Too Late

Referred to as but of one
Wears, for both, outmoded
Forms on its stage
Through dress and speech, casual
What's paraded and proud
'The shameless Age'.

What You Referred To Please

What You Referred To Please

Tell me what you referred to please;
Regardless of diplomas and degrees;
Take care of,
And even love,
While trying to put all of us at ease.

Premium Member teaching her husband a lesson

gorgeous kind-hearted empathetic
motivated lady godiva
usually dressed to the nines
taught her husband a lesson
showing off what he was missing
to the ones he referred to as commoners


Mother's Weeping Child

Not as that, sweet fountainy
Rainbow-shimmered
Sounding for whose own distress
A day's, rain-loud.

To be pitied, O, as much
The boy referred
Who strives to plug what aspects
A bursted cloud.

Bamboozled By Trump

Bamboozled By Trump

After reading more notes and their perusal,
They all referred to Trump and his refusal;
Income information to release,
So we should call the police
Before he again all of us does bamboozle.

Premium Member Mass Sometimes Referred As Worship Service

Worship service is in the 1st place a service
Eternal God performs for us
Only then is it our service offered to Eternal God
Eternal God gives Himself to us under form, holy signs
So that we might do the same
Give ourselves unreservedly to Him

YOUCAT 180

Simply

To the philosopher He's referred to
As an existential being.
To the believer a chosen name 
For one 'within' and above.
He's the First Cause to the scientist
If he's able to accept His existence.
But to me He's simply someone
Who inspires me to LOVE.

Premium Member The Good Book

I've often heard The Bible referred to as The Good Book,
yet the bible discusses every depraved perversion ever undertook.
Don't believe me? Have a look.
I'm not being judgmental here guys.
Believe me, this light bulb moment for me was a freaking surprise.

Premium Member Maid

I once referred to a woman as a "barmaid"
She snapped back, "I'm a bartender. I'm nobody's maid!"
and then she said to me without missing a beat as she placed my drink on the bar,
"My friend is getting married and I'm going to be the bride's maid of honor."

Women?

Premium Member 1940 Detective Movies

in the 1940 detective movies
leading men were called gumshoes
women were referred to as molls, dames, chicks or dolls.
it was acceptable for the men to swat a woman’s bottom.
She giggled and acted like she enjoyed it.
it was so normal some of us little ones did not know how wrong it was.

Sparrows

Spring out like running waters
Speak colourfully like butterfly
Seek the strength of a saviour
Save the sick
Set the sit for the stars
See yourself as the star
Start the race to set the pace
Songs are to be sang
Saints must be referred
So set your soul to stand
Stand to be a sighting story

Word Words

A nerd slurred a word unheard, to be his preferred password.
A bird flew over a furred herd, be-gird by a Kurd. 
He stirred and blurred, to a curd a third of turd.  
But undeterred he spurred the transferred word, to be heard and conferred.
To reword the inferred referred word, to be deferred is just absurd.

Our Future Imperiled

The Genie is now out of the bottle,
and referred to as ‘The Net’

Where hackers are countries unto themselves,
empowered worldwide—great threats

Able to intrude and disrupt at will,
weaving a new kind of hell

With privacy raped and freedom attacked
—barraged, our future imperiled

Premium Member Planet Venus a Woman In Its True Sense

Viciously, infernally incredibly hot, is its dominance
Excitedly referred to as ‘Women come from Venus”,
Naturally, Roman Goddess of beauty and love, ingenious,
Unsure of falling in love with Venus, no water I fear,
Seduced by folklore, don’t become a foolish Pioneer!

King Kong

I had a talk with a loved one.
You love Kool-Aid flavors of pink lemonade, cherry, lemonade, or grape.
He thinks you are ugly and referred to you as a prime mate ape.
Not wearing a wig. In stature you are big.
Never in your life have you lived in Hong.
You ex-father-in-law raised his shoulders in mock charade, comparing you to King 
Kong.

Premium Member Peter Stumpp

A serial killer Peter Stumpp
more than fourteen bodies he did dump
	he ate his prey
	or so they say
he was tortured at a callithump

Note: Referred to as the Werewolf of Bedburg, the German farmer confessed to the atrocities after being tortured – was convicted, skinned, bones broken, impaled, burned at the stake, and then beheaded in 1589.

Trump and Terrible Barrel

Trump and Terrible Barrel

Trump can hardly sing Christmas carol;
While his whole life has been in imperil,
And a lost cause,
With small, paws;
Someone even said his voice was sterile.

Jim Horn

We have heard another wise crack;
Trump then referred to token black,
And usual style;
Only one compile;
His house is shack with smokestack.
