Be Nice

You asked me to be nice!
You asked me more than twice

I promised you my self restraint
I promised you there would be no complaint!

You asked me to be nice!

So...........

Appaloosa, Mustang or Paint Breeds to ride and love, breeds who ain’t Broken by pain or heartbreak But show them a rattlesnake That horse won’t have much self-restraint Put Your Best (ONE) Limerick Forward (be like Rico Leffanta) Sponsored by Andrea Dietrich February 21, 2023

Taking On

It was a fast 
against truth, in support
of unbidden body
which took the history lesson.

A star is born 
out of midnight accident.
Darkness deems dark
in siege of self-restraint.

An embattled self
seeks a counting. The money
speaks in absence, to clear
the debt of tears.

No longer
the eyes will look at
the marriage of trans-blue veins
in legs of seedless dreams.

When I Die

When I die
Do not remember me
My corpse will not care;
Do not draw me back there
With words you never said
While I drew in air;
Spare me the ceremony
And all the orchestrated grief.
If you go on with your funeral show
Stopping your mouths for a moment or two
I doubt the angels will be impressed
With a moment's self-restraint
They will look on with stolid eyes
Bearing with you for a little while
Until the time comes
For you to go,
And for you to be ferried
To the fires below.

Road Rage

Do I threaten your aggression
By keeping calm and cool?
The more you flail your arms about
The more you play the fool!
I realize that self restraint
Is not your cup of tea
But it’s not fair that you don’t care - 
Don’t take that out on me!
You seem to be a person
Who has to have their say
And selfishness becomes the norm
When things don’t go your way
Well here’s a bit of news for you
You’re not the only one
It’s give and take -
(For heaven's sake
Don’t ever get a gun!)
