Short Spare Tire Poems

she releases hiss, tires flat
but for spouse with a spare tire.
repaired, but this is amiss -
her teeth release hiss...

spare forgotten, now flat, abused,

                  like some veteran overused

                   in at least two world wars

       whose alleged treads are darkened scars,

            burnt, rubbed off rubber, unamused,

        frayed steel threads, no, I'm not excused....

Gone In 60 Seconds~

Come and let us sit down by the warm fire,
the bear skin rug will serve us when we devour,
look at my eyes can you see the desire,
I hope you smell my fragrance of flower,
gained a little bit have a new spare tire,
what, right now you have to fix your dryer?

A heavy load 
As we get old
That middle spread
Becomes a dread

The waist expanded
Pants extended
Cannot bend
Pants descend

Cannot wear a thong
Seems so wrong
This  love handle grasp
Cannot last

With this spare tire
Losing weight becomes a desire
Exercise is my fate
Now I need a running mate....

Trump Has Been Beyond Compare

But I have a tendency to write poems
about humor, stupidity and how humidity
happens to affect Trump's hair.

McCain criticize we would never dare,
With Trump the Terrible always there;
In straights dire;
Forgot spare tire;
He has so many loose screws to spare.

Beat up old Ford,
along the freeway,
rear end jacked,
flat tire is off,
the trunk is open
and the dentritus
of a life exposed.
Clothes, empty brake 
fluid cans,
children's toys,
a paper back book,
loose pages dancing
in the traffic,
flat spare tire and
tools left lying
impotent in a frozen
moment....

Around my hips, too much weight
    In place of a stomach, I've a spare tire
  My face is pudgy, slightly bloated
    Dark forces against me conspire ... 

  But I've reversed course, I'm shedding pounds
    Part of me's now in the Lost & Found
  Though I'm not quite ready to celebrate
    when I still tip the scales at 288!...

I am standing around the house 
I hear a loud boom with floor vibrations
I ask if everyone is ok because 
I thought someone fell flat on their settee
Everyone says we're ok what was that??
After much investigation
We found that my tire had exploded into shreds

I am considering suing the company
Never used spare tire, only fourteen years old
Should not have exploded like that!!...

Henry Ford satisfied the masses, we may all agree,

   By concocting the venerable Ford Model "T".

      He said, "You can choose any color as long as it's black!"

         And he even tossed in a spare tire, crank and sturdy jack!

And In THE TRUNK OF MY ole' hoopty CAR- -

What's in the trunk of my ole' hoopty car
an out date scissor jack
rusted up 4 way lug-wench
flatten spare tire
box of dirty oily shop towels
a broken flare
mildew soggy trunk deck rug
a can of spray Lysol
Oh! yeah all them parking tickets from my windshield

to meet someone I love
I run happily on a thousand-mile road
My heart is full of joy
I forgot how time passes
Darkness falls and the light
Disappear and blow away dust
gallop on the desert road
But joy never fades or cools down
Suddenly one of the tires got a flat
no joy, no time
with my car
stopped by the side of the road
both people and scenery
in the time that disappears

pushing away fear
Reassurance coming
Stuck in the dark and lonely
Spare Tire:
Life is fun with you....
