Halloween Party?

I don't know where we all live, but if concievable, how about a Hallowen dress up
Party?  Kids, spouses, maybe s even music.  Maybe a prize for best constume. 
And some of my "schtick!"  Let me know

Premium Member Birthday Dog B Brick

Birthday dog had a high whistle and kick
He could do it with both legs, ever so thick.
He jumps in the air to pick up every stick.
We laugh at his antics and encourage his schtick.
He is our marvelous darling dog, Birthday B Brick!

Premium Member What's In a Name

Said a level-headed young man named Dick I wish I'd a name that was not so schtick His mother said, Put it on the shelf, Your father named you after himself And, we all know, he was sort of a prick!

Oh Donald Iv

Oh Donald dear, here we are again
  Are you indeed the representative of republicans?
Your speeches flow like some comedic schtick
  Will the wall be built with adobe brick?
Behind you a  following of thousands hearing all you’re not saying
  Leaving the rest of us on our knees and fearfully praying.

Premium Member Hazy Don’t Faze Me

I catch junk with a stick
Whip it like batter
Make it thick

Set it firm in an oven brick
A sleight-of-hand trick
Flipping a well-rehearsed schtick
Pulling it out of the fire quick

Cool…then plate with a crispy breadstick
Sink your teeth in…taste the kick
A feast of rhyme…a bold remix
Juicy lyrics on a drumstick

Who's On First

it's been
so often
done and
did but it
always in
whatever
form is
schtick

listening
to Saint-
Saëns and
asking what
is the score
i've never
heard this
before

you know
the one

which one?

that one
this one?

yes

what?

that one


which one
is this one?

you know
that one

and Abbot
and Costello
live on and 
on and on and...

Deflated Ego

Sitting here thinking, 
while I’m holding my own,
I’m wondering how so many big heads
 fit into a pontifical cone?

Riding in a chair of gold leaf, 
always raised way above the rest
No wonder these elevated mortals
start feeling they’re better than the best.

Oh omniscient, watch out for that nearby and 
lowly dreg with a humbling stick.
He’ll let the air out of your head you oblivious,
magnificent but self-made schtick!

This Just Ain't My Day

Recall that rib-tickling comic named Dick
Boundlessly, he performed many a schtick.
      He could trip over his own feet 
      and dance never missing a beat.
Me? I just fall on my face -  Fiddlesticks! 

Clumsy oaf that I am, I get in my way;
sometimes when I move, my feet want to stay.
     It's an art to stumble then rise.
     I blame my shoes which are queen-size,
rub my head and say, "This just ain't my day!"

More Quick Soup Bits

I think Rude-Pun-Zel was a hidden name for Rene Zellwinger!! Remember about 
2-3 years ago, no matter what movie playing you went to, she starred?
Patricia- when I played that gig 2 weeks ago in that nightclub, my between 
songs "schtick" made one feel they were in the Catskills, circa 1950s!  Luckily, 
the band did not disapprove.  Next time , I open for them!! (only kidding!). tom
hope you feel better, I've felt lousy last 2 days, myself. Nite!...

Strutting And Naked

You want their
affection 
but your words
to disdain

I voted for you
thrice
and would do so
again

But the many
unsold
who vote
with their heart

Abandon you now
as your
ego 
cavorts

Assuming 
your schtick
is attractive 
to all

You strut like
the ‘Emperor’
and naked
befall

Overlooking
the obvious
what the simplest 
man knows

To be liked
is a mandate
and lost
— in your show
