Umm… I’ve got a rather large skull
And
I don’t know why

Where did my big head come from?
Why is it so big?
Do you find it intriguing?

My skull is quite large…
Would you caress it please?
Thanks....

Vibrations quiver in smoke-filled
volcanoes or parlors not much
difference.

You suck mine, I'll suck yours
both of us feelin'
for stuff that don't suck.

The difference between a fist and a
palm.. umm..
why is that not “duh!!”?

Mysteries, histories
and so on......

Tackled by a stutter murmur of Deus.
The praying ended and packed as threats.
Err, umm, uhh, were cliched by vomits. 
Grasped all the needs and rusty flirts. 
Prune back Sheoak! The cutest green pine.
Pity Sheoak no more green crown again.
Where are Quechua and Sherpa? They go....

Beans are a soul food,
that is what I think,
I like beans, and tea to drink.

Cornbread , and onions,
sitting on your plate,
fried green tomatoes, umm, great.

Gotta have meat, 
roast, cooked just right,
simmer in the crock all night.

Desert is a treat, after this meal,
how about cake,
maybe, apple crumb bake....

The house is a mess you can barely walk throw it
You’re wondering what I did all day
Well today I didn’t do it

What your hungry 
Oops sorry I didn’t get too it
I’m sure you can do it

While you’re at it get the dishes to
Oh and run the vacuum
Take out the trash
Mop the floor 
And scrub the tub

today i didn't do it
soo umm hun get to it
im sure you can do it...

Winter is the time of year
ice prevails before the sun,
not at all when people should
try out races now begun.
Extol virtues of nature,
run, life's race must now be run

Dorian,
In your poem Summer you disallowed comment so no one could mention the second line is grammatically incorrect. It should read..
Umm, temperature just soars! 
or
Umm, temperatures just soar!...

Slowly my name escaped from her lips with hesitation following, and before she could let go of the truth in her words she grabbed them back and said
Goodnight

I stayed up all night wondering what she did not say and why

Opening my eyes only to recognize I was never asleep 

She said “umm we need to talk”

Press play on my heart and watch it sink to my feet

p.s. I dread all conversation pauses…...

I am eating an ice cream cone
My tongue makes contact to the cool texture
Flicking
Oh it's so good
Slide to the sides
Slurp up
Licking my tongue
Roll around the top
Take it all in
Ahh
So good
The juice is running down the side
Find myself licking it
Ummm
My lips nible the side
Go around 
Umm so good
It's gonna take me awhile
I am so wanting it
Oh ice cream my lips are twirling it 
Come in my mouth
All in
Ahhh...

He sat in front of the TV
while eating a large plain pizza
washing each bite down with iced tea.
The sight made me laugh… Ha-ha!
reddish oil dripping onto
his already grimy t-shirt.
What a slob! (If he only knew)
To call him that would only hurt
his feelings. I couldn’t say that
to him as much as I’d like to
so I struggled through the chit chat
when he asked, what’s so funny, dude?
Funny? Umm! Oh Nothing, I lied
Please! Don’t mind me. Finish your pie....

My head starts pounding. I have heard this before just yesterday. Must look 
fascinated. Focus come on focus, You can do it, umm, Pretend they are eating. 
No better not go there, do not want to look disgusted, we are trying for fascinated. 
Okay pretend that they are standind on their heads, no that doesn't seem to work. 
I am falling asleep time for a new tactit. Maybe if I make up stories about their 
lives as they repeat themselves, maybe that will get me through....

God commanded Adam not to eat of the fruit of a certain tree,

Because it would affect him and Eve quite badly.

But the woman, tempted by the serpent,
Ate of it one day,

And not even her spineless husband
Got in the way.

And God asked Adam 
“Have you eaten of the forbidden tree?”

Yes, 
It’s the woman’s fault, don’t you see?

“Adam, why did you disobey? This I can’t excuse.”

Umm,.. 'cause I respect a woman’s 
right to choose?

“SO DO I.  
NOW YOU BOTH LOSE.”...

A friend, huh?!
A friend..., umm...
I've never experienced it,
But it must feel good.

I've not got it anyway,
The chance of getting a friend?
They must do good,
Or it's like what I feel.

I also yearned for a friend.
Really I yearned for it.
I like to imagine,
How it feels to be,
Surrounded with friends?

Friends, I like the word,
It's what I didn't get
Even after my borne in here.,
I just ended up being alone,all alone...

Even then, I must admire,
The word Friend....

"Give me coffee and no one gets hurt"   Jim Davis's Garfield, the cat


I just woke up; it’s coffee time.
I’ve craved strong brew for fifty years.
With flavored creamer—Umm, sublime!
I just woke; it’s coffee time.
I’d lose my rhythm and my rhyme
without this serum that endears.
I just woke up; it’s coffee time.
I’ve craved strong brew for fifty years.
