To stretch the language of

My wife is a raconteur

                                  She tells tall tales of old kings and queens

Ever been to the town called Tallahassee?
There you can meet a fine, pretty, young lassie
Tell her tall tales
Until she bails
Then leave Tallahassee all fat and sassy.

Require Desire To Look Like a Liar

Trump it always seems to require,
For him to be dedicated to a desire;
And we know,
He said so,
Telling tall tales looking like a liar.

he scribbles lines 
he won't erase
about the lines 
upon his face

that tell tall tales 
quite truthfully
of half-hearted 
hyperbole

behind contrived, 
proud modesty,
shrouded in fake
dishonesty...

Stormy stormy night
Tormented by a lover's quarrel fight
Oblivious allegations
Ruined bedroom sensations
Myths of tall tales told
Yeilding lies that now become too dam old

Gabby Gertie garbles news.
Lusty Lester likes his booze.
Twixt the two, tall tales are told.
Seven salacious stories sold.
Tearful Tillie hides her face.
Loathsome lies lead to disgrace.

Of captain Ahab and the great white whale
And how  that whale he prevailed 
Now the thing is with little girls telling these tall  tales

*this was inspired by 'tall tales' that were collected and written by Zora Neale Hurston...this is meant to be humorous*

who loved a man
so much she 
couldn't hardly
take his touch
she would faint,

Charles, Prince of Wales
Subject of many tall tales
Married a Lady of nobility
But their union had instability

Lady Diana Spencer
Was a kindness dispenser
Questions arose about how she died
Was there something the royal family tried to hide?...

Blast my mind
Haunt my dreams
Take my soul

Ruin my feelings
Make me cry
Cut me open

Bash my ways
Lie in my face
Call me names

Say bad things 
Tell tall tales
Lie to yourself

Cause you can't take,
You can't change
Or hurt
My Faith....

Poetry


Polite mannerisms 
Often go unnoticed or ignored
Elephant trumpeters marching in the room
Talk of fiction and tall tales
Regarded as falsehoods or popular talk
Your voice and perspective counts a whole lot

Blue blouse,
Short skirt.
Long legs,
Big flirt.

Powdered face,
Painted nails.
White lies,
Tall tales.

Blonde hair,
Green eyes.
Black heart,
In disguise.

Soft skin,
Sexy mole.
Full figured,
Empty soul.

Cold smile,
Hot breath.
Red lips,
Sure death....

My Pet Lion


     I took my pet lion to my dentist
     Because he had tooth decay.
     Now, my lion's tooth is still there
     But my dentist has gone away.

Passerby echo the frustrations of the world
Under the bridge
Tall tales of courage
Outpours from angry souls
Yet the toughest of them all still hide
Under the bridge
Grass roots & neo-souls speak words
In the form of hyperboles
Leaving actions hidden like water
Under the bridge...

Occasionally right,
However, mostly wrong
Like fraudulent daylight,
Tall tales which suffer long
That frequent deafened ears,
So demonstrates belief.
Anticipating fears
May offer some relief.
While filtering the smoke
Of life's insanity,
The gasping children choke.
From predators prey flea....

TEACH ME TO ROW


     Boats
     resting
     on the shore,
     retired old.
     Hold tall tales of Father's minnow that got away.
     Teach me how to row slow please, Uncle Joe.

     Sunset rides
