Nice Weather for Ducks

In Seattle
During the winter rains

For ducks

In rainy days

who'd get wild when bands squared to battle.
Absorbed like a sponge,
she redefined grunge
with each rocker she chose to straddle.

Settle in Seattle After You Pedal


What you should do is to settle,
Down home in beautiful Seattle,
Get a grip;
Great trip;
After we did pedal on the metal.

Seattle

There once was an old man from Seattle
Who had it in his thoughts to skedaddle
But booking trips his mind they would rattle
He took plane
Landed in Spain
When he wanted to go to Newcastle.

Seattle to Kensington a short journey indeed

He became experienced through his guitar amp feed

He lived his life like a machine gun

Hey Joe plays little wing, on the third stone from the sun

Tonight,
I had a date with the mountain

Tonight,

Tonight,

Cautious About Crane In Seattle

Cautious About Crane in Seattle

In Seattle, fallen over had a tall crane;
Down below in the street does remain;
Sound air filled;
Several killed,
And luckily it never landed in fast lane.

To Match Other Superbowl Poem

Now it has become a bird which squawks
Going by name of Seattle Seahawks
Of not only of the whole North West
But also rest of country is the best.

Premium Member Meat Club

Not the protein, dear Rico, the fat!
There’ll be no more wheat grass for Jack Sprat.
That unhappy vegan
Has gone Chrissy Teigen,
Is now off clubbing seals with a bat.

Cannot Beat the Beat

Cannot Beat the Beat

Can never be able to beat, "The Beat;"
To ever disavow, deplete or do delete;
Truth will tell,
That is swell,
What I say was always done discrete.

Premium Member Downtowns Deflowered

Condemnation, confrontation
  Nasty, no-compromise nation

Protestors plentiful, a passel irruptive
  Ornery out-of-towners, so disruptive

Downtowns deflowered in
  Portland Chicago, Seattle
Lawless looters ~
  Time to skedaddle

Love Living and Forgiving

Love Living and Forgiving

Washington is where we love living;
Soon may be skiing by Thanksgiving;
Cascades snowing,
And we are going;
Found them friendly and forgiving.

Live here in North Carolina now 
but our hearts are still in Seattle.

Eap-Seattle

The rain continues to plummet and fall 
And the gray of the day looks like it will never go away.
I long for the boisterous blue of a hot summer’s day.
It seems our shy sun has wandered and meandered astray
From today’s and tomorrow’s forecast much to my dismay.

Premium Member Seattle Peaceful Protests Intensified

'Peaceful Protests Intensified' --

  So the morrow's headlines certified
  But how'd reporters turn blind eyes
  To fire-bombings that terrorized
  a downtown stunned and traumatized
  Why was ugly violence euphemized
    ~ as 'Peaceful Protests Intensified'
