you touched me, yet, so wildly ---
I am shrunk today

In the last book I read
The picture of the shrunk head
In to the gutter bled

A standard toilet paper roll
Has shrunk two inches from its goal
Since all we need
Is just pure greed
And one old-fashioned finger bowl...

A young witch in need of a wand
Searched the pockets of a young blond
She found a snake
That spit a lake
Then shrunk and did not respond....

Two ladies yearned to bunk an hunk
The hunk, of course, just sunk a dunk
But on his knees
He tried to please
The one who found his chunk had shrunk!...

with older age
comes shrinking
except for the belly

so looking
down to see
my toes i have

found that
i cant find that
because it has also

shrunk...

There once was a monk named Cur Plunk
Who frequently strayed from his bunk
He claimed he was drunk
And stunk like a skunk
'til his hunk of a trunk had shrunk...

Shrinking violet shrunk away,
Embarrassed by her small display,
One lone violet can't compete,
Against large petals not discreet,
More of my kind could save the day....

I suddenly had swelling in my knee
I went to the doctor so she could see,
she said for me to undress
I am now in great distress...
she shrunk the wrong part of anatomy!...

          sun shrunk to a pin
          evening, tiptoed right in
          cat paw on my chin

Drunk, in a funk, a lowly punk, I shrunk from a skunk.  It stunk. Away I slunk.  I too stunk, I thunk.  I took a dunk and sunk.
A chunk or hunk of B.S. or bunk?  Please debunk....

Tough times have fallen on the North Pole
   COVID-19's shrunk employer payrolls

So, the good Lord's invoked the grandfather clause
   To increase the pension due Santa Claus...

Santa Claus is depressed
Its declining standards you see
The naughty list is now so long
It needs storing electronically
Where as the good list has shrunk
And now fits on a sheet of A3...

Action, desolation, and desolation.
Doors shrink, shrunk!
Doors struck, locked
Let me in, let me in
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
KNOCK-KNOCK WHOSE THERE

No image of himself
Too near in time
Shrunk back from, in cowering
This o'erpowering.

As what aged, bent, but for
Which missed chance, o'er
Love's, shows remorse so pronounced.
A life denounced!...

O, a big burly trucker
got a persimmon pucker.
His mouth shrunk so bad,
he got stuck to a wall.
The doc called Gene Simmons;
though he prefers women,
his tongue-in-cheek kiss
is the cure for it all....

Too much salt
Too much pepper
Spoil the broth
Neither is better.

LIFE is short
a magazine,
picturesque,
not obscene.

Used to read a large magazine, all about LIFE!  It has shrunk over the years and is no longer the large icon...

we used to see
eye to eye
agreeing on
how clean
the air was 
down
there

that we
would have
the same
distance
when we 
fell from 
grace

but with age
and with youth
i shrunk and
slumped but 
she bought 
a pair
of new

pumps...

dine out 'pon good food
salad soup entre' dessert
chocolate molten cake

getting dressed for date
all my pants shrunk at cleaners
lie down to zip up

Have you ever been drunk,
and submersed in a funk,
as if trapped in a trunk 
but then asked to write junk 
in a poem which stunk
though your mind has been shrunk
by a psychotic monk
who’s been beaten punch-drunk
and if not a slam dunk
as a poet you’ll flunk?...

sun pretends to hide
clouds cover the face of rays ~
shadows sweaty swing

sparrows start shiver
crows skip their brisk bathing games ~
swallows seek the sun

green leaves grow glow less
twigs turn washer man’s shrunk thump ~
negating nature

Of age she becomes now
Old and weak she appears
Grey has her hair grown
Shrunk and dwindled she turns
Fallen are the boobs of hers
Broken are the teethes but two
Day and night on the couch she sits
When I was young she would say
My beauty, infallible and irresistible...

With as little thought, think you
Can be brushed aside
All their concerns, as waste of
Sweepings to one side?

Then have you not once witnessed
The regard given
To duck clans, a road, crossing.
Respect, more lordly
To elephant, real king, he
By pride-shrunk, stomped men!...

When I started throwing some, 
I felt, as though my heart numb;
Weren't they things I got as gifts?
Didn't I save them midst rifts? 

Foods we consider true junk,
Needs, in quantity, get shrunk; 
That the generations come,  
Could feel truly safety-thrum...!
