Short Touted Poems

When health scares are touted.' Check saftey rules are not
Flouted, or all futures may well end up being worse.'
My advice is; try not to be (too science averse)!

A time machine bought off the shelf
Touted usage for those lacking wealth.
The thing was a joke;
Used it once and it broke.
Poor guy was beside himself....

Lilly Fay was an operatic singer
Touted as being a diva humdinger
She could hit High C,
Easy as could be
But up there it's impossible to linger.

Listen to poem:

Twisting Twirling Tatiana

Tatiana tried the taunt trampoline,
The Tribune tattler Thadeus touted,
triumphed as the town's tip-top teen,
takes the title, "Tatiana" they shouted.

Badly bloated;
Daily devoted;
Silver coated;
Duly noted.
Across water boated;
Ruby throated;
Castle moated;
Around touted;
Poem wroted;
Out pointed;
Available and anointed;
Have been appointed;
Was disjointed.

Edsel Ford launched the Edsel auto much to his Pa's consternation!

He hyped it hoping his namesake would reach top sales across the nation!

Edsel touted it as the latest and greatest but it proved to be a flop!

Folks soured on this woeful lemon since it spent most of its time in the shop!...

Viv touted herself vegetarian 
            Felt her clean stance rendered her better than
                       Flesh chew friends got suspicious 
                            Fin lipped Viv smelt of fishes
                   Sought protein right from her aquarium

It is not the truth.
long misunderstood,
long touted among the faithful
in poetry and song.

Understandable and beautifully said,
but
just plain wrong.

There is no separation.
God, in any name or concept,
does Not walk beside you.
God walks as you,
in you.
This truth will always be true....

Every Spring they march relentless
    ugly as sin and almost scentless

  My well-groomed lawn devastated
    annual ambitions again frustrated

  'Cos' 'Wendell's Weed Killer' didn't work
    though highly touted by expert jerks

  At $65 a bag, the stuff wasn't cheap
    with joy I sowed, in tears I reaped  

  But not to worry, I'll pick a bouquet of 'Dandy Lions'
    for my wife next Sunday ~ 'With Love from Brian'...

I am early to my appointment
I was nervous that I might not find it
My history of being lost is easily touted
Even GPS does not help me all the time 

Frustrations of my past failures have propelled me forward
I walked in an hour early, no surprise to me

As it is what I do wherever I go.
Refusing to give myself a break
And admit I have only been lost three or four times
This is once again one of those hundreds of times I was not lost....

Underwear to hold your leaks,
Meds with crazy names -
These are products touted
As I watch the Aussie games.

Homeowners’ insurance,
Make-up, cool expensive cars 
Advertised between the sets
Of vaccinated stars.

Scenes of lovely Melbourne
By commercial crews they’ve hired
Hoping that some tourists 
Will be well-enough inspired.

Since I can’t fast-forward,
Every ad I’m forced to see,
Although the target audience
Is certainly not me....
