I do not know?
I blew a dollar on a ticket,
But I allowed machine to pick it.
I think it a sin
That I didn't win.
I wonder if machine would rig it.

Grover Deaver drove his diesel down to Dover--
Down to Dover in the state of Delaware.
I told Grover that his rig was overloaded,
But Grover Deaver said he didn't care.

Did Dig and Dig
The more the news would dig and dig
What Republicans did was rig, rig, rig;
Things conceal;
A rigged deal;
Until it finally had become big, big, big.

This old sea-rig is swamped and don't float
I TOLD you we'd need a bigger boat!
Now you are HIS prize
Sure ain't no surprise
That you're fish-food, you hard-headed goat!

Limerick
Too much tension on a wire
Will cause it to snap,
Too much tension in the brain
Makes for mean collapses,
Be sure to rig with a swag
And protect your synapses.

Light Verse
Country
Called American folk,
country music’s genre
caters to tough big-rig
cross-country truck drivers,
cowboy wannabees and
crooners; the blue-collar
corners of the country.

Hello World
Return takes flight
Past and present black and white
Surely losing all my sight
Numbers dancing in bright light
Calculating bits and bytes
Slowly painting left to rig

Rig,
up-draped,
driven eerily…
Riveted,
clouds hold,
ashen orb staring…
Ghostly galleon gallivants

Verse
A truck driver passes through
a hole in the sky
His rig self inclusive,
his load staying dry
Eighteen wheels of redemption,
the manifest signed
Delivery as promised
—his docking sublime

Rhyme
A couple got married in the Winter Wonderland
For the reception they hired a mariachi band
They danced a Spanish jig,
Then left in a borrowed rig
Stiffing the poor caterer because the food was bland.

Limerick
There was a guy named Jake , from Atlanta
In the Winter season he would play Santa
But he left that gig
To buy a big rig
Next he wed a sweet lady named Anna

Limerick
Can’t believe these eyes
And what they see
As only blackouts survive
Driving my rig into the northern Alabama night
A twisting hand reaching out of the demon skies
And ripping out the heart
And giving back ruined lives
(I know, I was there)

There is a monkey
who is very funky.
He dances all day long
to a long song,
and a big wig
that can zag and zig.
Once he even danced with a big pig
with a rig!
When the day is over, he goes to bed
with a mug on his head.

I have a great need for help
I overran the bath again last night
While I was sleeping.
I'm so afraid my parents are
going to tell me I have to move
to Assisted Living.
Can you tell me how,
Please tell me how
To rig a float to sound an alarm
when the water reaches it.

With all the time I spend on rhyme
in vain pursuit of beauty
I neglect to help my fellow man
and fail my forsworn duty
So this vow I make right now
Do not think I take it lightly ~
to rig up my toilet to fertilize my lawn
and flush it day and nightly

My butt is just so damn big
10 Irish men could do a jig
5 truckers could park their rig
16 Miners could plan a dig
9 drummers could perform a gig
2 Elephants could take a swig
22 college kids could do their trig
If only I’d eat less like a pig!

A tire swing
A water hole
A hound named Blue
A summer day
Throw off the shirt
Kick off each shoe
I am eight
The perfect age
To rig up my own tire swing
But Uncle Pete
Came down to help
And here I be
A grateful boy
Swinging away in the sun
Nothing ever again has been this kind of fun!

Imagism
His very bones smell of ocean
beard lashed with its salt
On land, rubber legs awkward
he gapes and he gawks
But rig him up a mast
billowy sails to go with it
Prow boldly juts forward ~
Thirty knots an hour, his ticket

At the apex of the hellstorm
Came Salvation in maidenform
Cold silence emanating from her lips
Her method of talk strapped around her hips
A tie-down, two-holster, two-gun rig
That legend called th— “The Apocalypse.”
The masses interrupted in a whisper
Again the masses whispered
“The Apocalypse.”

Narrative
i ordered at the bar in archbishop's rig
two pork sausages
baked beans
strawberry bear fruit snack
orange juice
meat free burger
r white's raspberry lemonade
bangers and mash
pepsi
corn wheels
hotdog
peppercorn sauce
one wobbly sausage sandwich
on returning to my table
i overheard the barman
'a fool he was, a fool he'll always be'.

starkness invading, picture windows view
the wake of an invisible house through
the maze of forest oaks becoming blue.
seizure of sure Winter eyes, long night’s coup.
of red foxes, no sightings but a twig
snapping, turns chilly heads, as moonlight wigs
out at the littered floor, nocturnal rig —
cacophony of coyotes, the dig.

Everyone these days? So sexual
Ever stop for a day and think? Be an intellectual?
People need to quit bein cuddy buddys
Thats why your relationships sink like its muddy
Enough bars to climb over the stars
Enough curses to ride to hell in my car
Hopefully one day i'll eventually make it big
People need to stop pulling my heart like a rig
People will never understand or realize
What i can see and tell with my real eyes

Couplet
I paused, the moonlight to inhale
As I put my steep climb on hold
Thick grape vines held tight in my grasp.
On I climbed to clutch a buttress
My breath reduced unto a gasp.
On I clambered higher to clasp
The dark hued castle tower cap
I donned my rig to glide away
And soar over broad moonlit vale.
