a cloud of gas surrounds him
as he sleeps it off...

Are you with me
Don’t you ever want to shout
Minor maybe major form of turets
No offence meant but how else to explain
Coping with people talking such rubbish and tripe
How possibly am I supposed to keep quiet
Such boring annoying resonant voices...

Oliver Toliver Goliver Snipe
Was a big lizard who was fairly ripe
His pink and red top hat brought plenty of hype
Some were so jealous they began to gripe
The treble, the cleft, the tooth, and the tripe,
I thought he was adorable with his blue green back stripe....

In low tone two persons are talking 
It means data is transferred for stalking
without wire, WI-FI type
As talk ends, one'll flare
with crying out, it's tripe
let it be, I don't care.
Shows transfer complete, it'll be shocking.

time moves in subtle leaps an bounds,
an older still is this old hound,
i write the tripe that comes to me,
from some smartass, surreptously,
not necessarily me,
but i am the channel medium,
found, who writes it down,
4 thee....

thank you Lizzie Treetop's,

caged like a Tiger in her way,
passion, power, sensual hey,
do not cross the one in stripes,
she will rip ya, tear ya like sliced tripe,
dodge sidestep, swiftly  run away,
or p.d. will have her way,
ace of spades,  delight,
surreal, wake in fright,
death comes swift they say....

thanks p.d. 'Tiger in a cage'

There once was a crusty old hag
whose poetry made people gag.
She once wrote a sonnet,
the folks threw up on it
and tossed it away in a bag.

She went to a psychic who said,
while turning up cards black and red,
“I can see why they gripe,
just stop writing this tripe.
Have you thought of knitting instead?”...

Back foot Irishman
who remembers his tripe 
Major Barbara n Androcles and the lion 
are we all asleep !

Just a man of his time 
like a five minute pop star
friend of nancy boy Bosie Douglas
bringing poor Oscar down

Better self love than grovelling in the dirt
how can any real man or woman dislike Shakespeare
friend of Michael IRA Collins

The view
How you see the world bubby,
 depending on your age,
naive as the sunshine,
then you turn another page,
the cynic type is coming,
have another beer,
someone bloody wist in it ,
its tasting might queer,
but then you're thin in plenty,
old tripe whose bones do ache,
stop yappin bout serenity,
lets have another steak....
(obscenity)  Don Johnson...

There was tiger named Archie Hoggerpipe,
Who, weirdly, wished to swap every dark stripe.
A turkey quickly agreed
To meet Archie's costume need.
Thankful lions ate Arch, leaving no tripe.

The stuffed pride of lions later cried fowl.
O how the savannah shook with their howl.
A tiger without wishbone
Left all lions anger prone,
Until round the striped turkey they did prowl....

The most gifted poets who ever wrote
Occasionally penned gibberish and tripe
Even Coleridge, Wordsworth, and Keats
Sometimes were at a loss for words
In exchange for a royal coin or a token
Valued principles were sometimes broken
Even poets will follow the popular herds
To sit with the noted, the famous elites,
Writing mediocre poems of every stripe
I pluck my own beam, seeing their mote.

The mind was old before it came upon you,
it took your shoes
made you walk upside down
in an inverse eye.

Pray tell, is all well?

Now expostulate your lip tripe
and see if any much broken soul
cares.

Keep your trapdoor mind,
your garmented flapping pockets
so full of the disavowed,
the cancelled out widow weeds
of fake sorrow.
Be not evermore, be not even now.

As always there is much to be taken back....

Tripe, sweetbreads, entrails, offal,
some people spell them awful.
Scottish chefs can do them right
Haggis, a meal, out of sight. 

Making a proper meatball sandwich
is virtual what-not-who and which
needing perhaps some extra spice
supply it with a bit of Scotch hype.

The last, best organ 'grinder' that I got
was on Panera Bread’s French baguette, hot.
Barrel-shaped bread held tight as treasure
the tin cup for the drink of my pleasure....

For starters I'll order the tripe
Wrapped in dark blue plums, just ripe
Painted with a bright red-white stripe
Dabbed with green spots from icing-bag pipe

Next, I'll have the fish, grilled just right
Flambéed with whiskey set alight
On a bed of cockles, shut up tight
Wrapped in seaweed. What a sight!

For sweets I'd like the chocolate mousse
With eggs, cream and bitter lime juice
All gooey and creamy, sure to seduce
My cravings for sugar and a cup of Seuss...

A day surrounding love
Has reared its head
Dishing out roses
Which are usually red

A dash to the florist
To pick up some flowers
Choosing a card
Which may take some hours

Words with true meaning
Or a load of old tripe
Winning a person over
Because they're your type

This is my ditty
To give you some cheer
On a day full of nonsense
Which should last all year

Valentines is but a day
Tis all a bit funny
It's just a big reason
For the shops to take our money...

The secretion of a Lilly is often mistaken for the timbers of a concrete ball. Many a time is the goldfish singing for a curry. Golden gophers gluing glitter. A wolf dancing in a stew of peas is more happy than a porcupine on a rocket powered skateboard.ooooh grammar of framing a drugged frog is as indigestible as spinning around the earth twice after consuming large amounts of beer. Like a tidal wave then. Humming. Humorous isn't it. Turbulent tambourines turning tripe. Intoxication z....

when it comes to food my biggest gripe
is how anyone can eat disgusting tripe,

lining of the stomach of ruminant cows
gastric juices of mine would not arouse,

if I was served this awful food on a plate
I would decline this just couldn’t be ate,

when it’s cooking can’t stand the smell 
like something eaten by someone in hell,

tripe is not a delicacy for rich or poor
serve me rubbish I’ll show you the door.
