People's voice, God's voice
Becomes a shenanigans
Either true or false....

Earth’s orbital stalking

Shenanigans

A friend’s best laughter!
Shenanigans and tricks
End monotony.

There was a lad known for his shenanigans,
Who completed each act with such naughty grins.
He leaned backward all alone,
To kiss the old Blarney Stone!
That limestone-lipped lad known for shenanigans....

There was an old lawyer named Ruth
Who didn't mind bending the truth.
No scoundrel too bad,
If money he had.
He'd have pled self defense for Wilkes Booth.

For Carolyn's

Donald was born with life cushy
It’s known that he can be pushy
Expect this bully
To grab for things wooly
Like a fine pussy that’s bushy  


Author's note: Get ready for the under the table shenanigans at state dinners....

Social media shenanigans
do learn nay to take seriously
seldom do they add any value
Distortion of reality a tool
readily applied in an arena 
where aesthetics rule
over brains and decorum

Sun has set now.
Under full moon
Many excited fairies
Marching together
Encircle fairy tree.
Revelry begins.

Solstice night.
Offering thanks.
Leprechauns join in.
Song and dance.
The fiddlers prance
In and out among
Caotic scenes of
Energetic shenanigans.

here becomes there if one adds a T
and where when one adds a W
and zher, which is ‘here’ in Mandarin  
if one removes an E and adds a Z
which rhymes with V
though some pronounce it Zed
which rhymes with Ted
which brings us back to T 
almost nothing rhymes with W
but I really want to do U 
and make S rhyme with X
and you know Y.

Now I don't say she lied in the course of her book Dolores passion
I wasn't there. She saw what she saw and vice versa.

I'm saying Mel Gibson was errant to base his movie on ANYTHIN OTHRT THAN THE
HOLY BIBLE

Mel,  it's too late now


But some things are better left unsaid...

Crone arrived masked as crescent moon.
We knew her by her star cape and her attitude.
I was wearing a warring pirate ship as a skirt.
The day was ripe for all kinds of shenanigans.

A trumpeter arrived to announce the next eclipse.
It’s one of those knottsy-tottsy-rottsy days.
I put on my star gazing hat, and tried to look average.
Difficult for someone as creative as me....

The collapse 

They built an edifice
On a shining hill and
A sandcastle
Here the truth was
Spoken hubristic 
One can say
However, they believed in 
In the illusion
A man came and stepped
On the castle, it crumbled
Lies and shenanigans
Toppled out for all to see
It was just sand. 
The hatred turned to 
The truth-teller
He was called a traitor
Rots in a tiny prison cell....

Customary or misquoted, What hand shall be dealt in this game of shenanigans people playing games are often questionable of one’s ulterior motives. Is it because of one’s anger, disappointments ascending, descending contemplating should the unknown accept the facts and move on or continuously deceive inner-self and remain on and off tasks contemplating who is playing the games if shenanigans....

Marietta Georgia the beginning 
and the end of poetry soup as we 
knew it today we are swamped by ads
investors buying web domains inventing 
shenanigans amidst their very own 
motives creating fake accounts all 
under the same foundations gathering poets
to allow poems to be featured in anthologies 
now is the time for all great poets to come 
to the aid of their country to write or 
not to write that is the question...

Shameless shady shepherd Sherlock shushed shoeless Sherman
so surely shabby sharp-eyes Sheila shellacked sheep-headed Sherlock
Shaken shallow Sharon shadowed shapely shipwrecked Sheila
Shadow-man shilly-shallied, shifting shopworn Sharon’s sheep
Showy Sharon sharpened a shortened sheath, shaving Sherlock
Sherlock shuttled shell shocked Sherman, showing his Shenanigans
Shoddy Sheila shocked Shelly, shaking sheep into Shangri-La....

Surrounded by an ocean, seas and England,
Creates ships, sailors and a long suffering
Only a diet of oatmeal, whisky and Calvinism
Taken daily, eases. Then there is the rain,
Like a liquid gift sent down from heaven,
As if to grow the heather and the kilted pipers
Needed, to let the English know we're here,
Damn' well, for all their shenanigans.

   Could this be why the bagpipes have their drones,
   To send wee messages abroad to Scottish homes?...

Quaint Inanity. 

Sometimes ago I'd thought of the idiosyncratic Shenanigans our politicians  employed  in declaring their manifesto. They're  quite rapscallions. 

Exhibiting hoity-toities during their declarations of flapdoodle, they 
Tune their cozenage to the rhythm 
Of rascality. 

And you see kaleidoscopic legs picking
The nimbus of the elfin music. 

And they're swayed into cotillion till their Fela* commute to dirge.

The governor of Maryland
Had excellent advice.
Perhaps if more Republicans
Agreed, it would suffice.

Annoyed at Trump’s shenanigans
And his obnoxious tweets, 
He blurted a suggestion
Which deserves a few repeats.

“Stop golfing and concede!” he said,
Which echoes, to a T,
Exactly what so many feel,
Of course, including me.

That simple phrase, four little words,
“Stop golfing and concede!”
Is what should happen, for it’s what
Americans all need....

Frequent burst from rain clouds rare
April shenanigans brought by March leprechauns
Announcing lovely yellow daffodils
Such monarch flutter whimsy

April shenanigans brought by March leprechauns
Gently showing favors to this month’s water faeries
Such monarch flutter whimsy
Cleansing nature’s gentle growing pallet

Announcing lovely yellow daffodils
