Premium Member A Bit Off Line

Pay no attention I'm a bit off line A bit off centre it could be the wine Or might be my arm pits Or maybe my bollocks Perhaps it was that bucket of turpentine

Premium Member You Are My --- Oops, Not For Long

You are my Valentine
   You look like Frankenstein
You smell like turpentine
   Your lips like iodine

You wear size twenty-nine
   You mope around and whine
But I like you mighty fine
   You're all I've got ~ You're mine!

Paper Doll

I use to have a paper doll,
once upon a time.
She had bubble gum matted hair
and veins filled with turpentine.

Her dress was sequenced Percocet,
that went passed her knees.
She spent her time smoking cigarettes,
to medicate her anxiety.

It's Jesus and Me

The world is at a loss
But I'm leaning on the cross

I know I wasn't born
To bear the devil's scorn!

Have some help from CARE
Express yourself - if you dare!

Stop the deadly tick 
Of producing an anger flick!

Have some courage and don't whine
The latter's like drinking turpentine!

Betty

Betty  didn't came to her own wake
said she had other things to do
Didn't share the news with the mourners
she hadn't heard of her own demise

Wretched wet warm summers
clouds of turpentine
Going to see the river man
and tell of her past travails
Betty is wading in the bay
without a word to say
unaware she be missed

Premium Member babysitters never came back

babysitters never came back a second time
it’s not our fault we lied, we were not bad
one of them got stuck in turpentine
but the worst sitter of all was our dad

they were no trouble at all he told our mother
when she woke him from his deep sleep
this was before we had a little brother
three of us really made a sitter weep

Premium Member Haunted House

shadows reek of turpentine
scarlet-lettered trespass sign
fences dangle off the hinge
matted cobwebs festive fringe
spiders dance on abused toys
murderous crows' ghastly noise
unseen faces give you pause
rebel souls without a cause
unfriendly lot, wise be warned
you now living, the unmourned
leave us ghosts to haunt in peace
that your mind retains its lease

Premium Member Fragrant Fumes, Pungent Memories

      Ah, the fragrant fumes of paint drying on a picket fence
         followed by the grease-stained smell of turpentine on the brush

      Though doubtless matched by the aroma of oil spills gracing
         a service station’s garage floor 

      These pungent memories of childhood, wiped clean today
        by vastly improved technology, yet linger with me

Premium Member The Future Is Here

The future is here
    AI is its name
  It too is concerned
    with the gender game

  A feminine name 
    like Alexa or Cortana
  does not pull its weight
    in the state of Montana
  
  While masculine names
    like Harley or Hal
  too easily become 
    'good old boy pals' ...

  So when selecting a name
    I hereby recommend
  Pick one as neutral as possible
    ~ like 'Vulture' or 'Turpentine'

Room

The room in the corner, 
With its three wood doors, 
Each heavier than before, 
A subtle air not of fear, 
Patient vents waiting to hear, 

Clenching at the scent, 
Umbrage and stale paint, 
Taste of turpentine and taint , 
Dust gracefully composed, 
Large eraser shards in throws, 

Senile light made rent, 
Lingering weight of lead, 
Below a layered graphite bed, 
Glows like the antithesis of chrome, 
A shallow doom drawn in monotone.
