Short Scanner Poems

Envelop
of the eye scanner
institutes
the heart of
Compartmentalization
to grasp the distance

To sing out the Star Spangled Banner
In the most appropriate manner
You must have four
To sound out more
And highlight that new fangled scanner...

get out
my laminated
computer generated
bar coded photo i d badge

swipe it
across the 
scanner watching
as it turns green from red

someday
hoping it
won't let
me in...

Happy as poop got results of my brain scan
Had a hard time finding it when the scanner began
It sputtered and screeched
Till my bum it did reach
Outta place but “all's WELL that ENDs well” exam

so simple
just point
press the
correct
button

sending out
a terminator
red beam
that is
reading

what it
sees
but it
seems
to have

found 
pointed
pressed
at me is a 
nonexistent

package
but i swear
looking down
there that it
used to have

a
bar
code
tattoo...

I'm a planner I'm a scanner I'm a time warp spanner
and you better get outta my way
I can rap with the babies and the Baby Boom ladies
and I really got somethin to say

   I been lovin ,I been fightin, I been rainbow writin
and I got it all on the line
plug a poem in the socket ,if you really 
wanna rock it
it'll always come out in the rhyme...

A gang of vandals unlocked all the cages 
And in the supermarket near the zoo
The beasts rushed in but not to spend their wages
For animals are not inclined to queue

With savage creatures charging all about
The poor old keeper almost flipped his lid
When tigers chased a zebra through the checkout 
And the barcode scanner charged him sixty quid...

Head-first slid into the belly of a scanner
Humming and clicking
far away canned music turns white

Trying not to think of shadows
the telltale marks of
a spreading fear

Weeks later
there are tubes, lots of them
force-fed back into a life
one he has to handle like a time bomb

Almost back to normal
but now normal is ticking
he hears it
when he closes his eyes...

Green grasshoppers glide gracefully over the ground, 
Their glossy gossamer wings glitter all around, 
Their glassy feathers generate grandiose sound, 
Like glorious gladiators, some golden gowned
gorgeous grigs gallop in their gluttonous manner, 
Other garish brown ones glow like grimy scanner
as they hover in swarms like a greasy banner, 
Best, stay away from grasshoppers - that's the plan, er!!!

A Chemical Compound
in an orderly manner.
They're found on the ground,
classified by a scanner.

An outcrop in Costa-Rica -
many of these contain Silica.
Some are even Volcanic-
explosions are quite manic.

Its just like Me and You!
Special, Unique and some blue.
Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic too-
I've heard that before, like de-ja vu!

It is Sharp or Smooth,
It is like a Bone,
It can be found in a Booth,
But what really is STONE?
