Chocolate
Chocolate? That's not a sport!
Do flavours not compete I retort
But it's not a game you play!
Which one to eat I say
'Your computer just might be at risk'
'There is not enough room on your disk'
Oh yeah? I retort with distain
There's PLENTY of space in my brain!
There once was a man with a passion,
a passion for clothing in fashion.
But when money was short
he was sad to retort,
“I ration my passion for fashion”.
A Turquoise Noise
Green is gift, I share.
Hachoo noise made from the spray
and flew through the air.
Excuse, me!

I will lick Limerick – do or die,
As my nemesis tortures, I cry.
Many tongue twisters short
And some frosty retort,
But the train has left the station ~ 'Bye!'
Betty had a good buddy whose name was Jack
His brown bunny she took for a verbal attack
This retort she had
Made her feel too bad
So Betty brought her buddies brown bunny back!
“Don't bray at me, you stupid donkey.
In my eyes, you're a foolish monkey”
“Don't brag like a despot,
on wearing a striped coat.
I know, you are cruel and grumpy”
Here lies Emmett Kermit Lavender
Whose time was summarily cut short
When he insulted his English professor
With an unnecessarily caustic retort
written April 26, 2022
Mr. Tim's fired a limerick back at me
Usually I give 'em, not get 'em you see
Surprised me somewhat
Coz I'm not one to strut
When I do, I rent out my body for free!

"You can't!" the world snorted;
"Yes I can," you fired back.
Your proud retort
Some proof did lack.
His wife called him a good for nothing rat
As in his armchair old Jim sat,
Jim retorted with a very broad grin,
You know you will never get a double chin,
Because all that exercise is bound to kill fat.
Why do socks seem to disappear?
I can’t find a matching pair!
Not wanting to develop a syndrome
When anyone comments on my odd flair,
I retort with apparent savoir faire:
Yes I’ve another pair jus’ like’em at ‘ome!
If assholes could fly, this place would be an airport
So what's happened recently to cause this retort
It's too gruesome to tell
A fate worse than hell
Someone stole my spaceship which caused a space warp
There once was a girl with strawberry lips,
when she walked she like to show off her hips,
all her skirts were way too short,
to sneers she had a retort;
JEALOUS ? ... walking on with some dips and flips !
a showpiece
a speciality
to
declaim:
visually clever
a retort even
to circulate:
enfolded
in a prestigious
compendium
of the poetsirregular&glib-
a hackneyed canticle
to provoke
or not
Subject and Object,
who builds the bridge
From either perspective,
to laud or forgive
First person invective,
third person retort
The toll for each crossing
—forever deports
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2020)
Staring at a screen, waiting for a like
to some witty retort, he’d posted
took up the bulk of his waking hours;
sometimes he got a few, sometimes not.
This is how he measured his popularity;
distance from reality slowly extending.
hey
i just
came
to play
no need
for such
words
you
are a ninety
nine pound
for pound
weakling
throwing
beach sand
and urine
scented litter
in other's
eyes but
i'm better
than that
jeff stop
dogging
my
cat
Form:
Virtue when expressive,
deafens bad intention
Its voice to live beyond,
excuses and retort
A minstrel plays a song unsung,
as sages rise to dance
All words rephrased in lyric tones
—the devil mute and gone
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)
If I'm to be the neck
you fit inside a noose,
then spin me up a soul.
When you can define it -
and find it -
you let me know.
Until then, Mother-Father
fix your own malfunctions.
This universe
is your slaughterhouse.
I just work here.
Seven,daughters to the heavens sent
Seven..God's retort to Job's lament
Seven..renown poets from 3 BC
Seven..wise men of Greece we see
Seven..clusters sail the sky so free-
Seven scholars counsel King Charlemagne
Seven... a group name for fame
April reversed backward retort as Lirpa
Plurally to be continued as April's ect.
Rose's may be red literally in said so of April
Ignorant to some , inspired by to as well
LaDawn comes medial of this that here name
acrostic poem
the shielded thought,
the curt retort,
old lovers thought of why?
fantasy of mind is really naught,
but ghosts from bye n by,
the stimulating sort,
a mans remembered,
sly....
i'm a man i know these things...
