Short Skoal Poems

A good shot of Irish Mist
Of  Bailey a  dram
Then some Irish Cream to taste
Cuppa coffee warm
Heart coddles waiting
Taste buds awetting
All wedding
Skoal...

P-Soup is down, holy crap what'll I do
My life depends on it to get me through
Gonna dig a big hole
Jump in and yell skoal
All my friends, I'll sure miss your “howdy-doos”...

My attitude is nearly always upbeat
Perhaps 'cause I start my day with Shredded Wheat
Goes straight to my soul
Makes me yell skoal
Great to be alive as I kick up my feet

   There went she
       blue eyes
 sashaying with her
       sassy self
    in her scanty
         sateen
         sheath

      Scandalous
the scandalmongors
         scoffed
           as I

  And off I scurried
 searching for paper
         and pen
to scribe mine script
  of her succulence

         Skoal

    I’d take a sip...

And so as to contingent plaintiff's skoal,
I registered defenses as to knoll,
no day dreams to combine, out of control,
observance of regret, no time to toll!

And so I spied tomorrow, wisdom's goal
forever, as God signing, here to foe.
My courage intertwining met the role
the Mother, left to pining, her extol!

The Mother, left refining risk of owe ~
the Mother, God's designing . . . of a soul!...

Applause' foundation, e'er the close
my ears primed out, my thought in prose
Ah, words, concerning words, I chose
soiled armor, but my holy soul!

I guess not, that my honor's skoal
is only spoken, all untold,
the rhetoric's rhyming, so supplied
with factual basics, not deride!

Astigmatism's care ~ "I can't" ~
with mobilizing's avant-gard,
I then become unbroken "can"
from knowing everlasting's plan!

Continuim's apptitude is score ~
it's still my Earth, the hope's encore!...

Pronounced control by public throned,
embitters more when freely spent
then effort by those so exponed,
determined men who tried as went!

Who brave the course, and pride the role,
and grapple not with discontent.
Who later flag, to sense their skoal,
and never lag to represent.

God love the die, that unrelents
with teaming vie to circumvent,
but mostly grace the hands so bent
with labor, trusting to extent -

That mercy, justice pay the rent,
with kindness, as their implement!...
