Short Underlings Poems

Umbilical underlings undulate under unified,
universal undercurrent understandings, utilizing
unequivocally ugly, unwise, unwanted, unaware,
utilitarian usurpers....

We are “underlings”
To the destiny itself
Rather than to stars.

We need to be careful
We need to be watchful
The way they look
The way they behave
That quirky smile
That signs and signals
That anger and hatred
That hints and cracks
Their Evil Ego
Their underlings and false pretenses could be the dawnings of death.
Note. Body language is the index of mind.
Lesson. Underworld is the world of demons....

‘The fault, dear Brutus, lies not within the stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.’
(Julius Caesar, Act 1, Scene 2)


Drat, all the time
I spent reading horoscopes~
I can’t blame my problems on:
Leo, Virgo, Capricorn, Sagittarius,
Cancer, Gemini, Aries, Taurus, Libra,
Aquarius, Pisces and Scorpio.

Here it has been my fault
all along!

Mom was never one her duty to shirk;
giving her heart, mind and soul to her work.
If called for, she'd give our tails a swift jerk;
she’d tweak our arms when we drove her berserk.

Author's Notes:  A warrant officer is responsible for training
underlings and carrying out certain missions within the army....

All drugs have the potential to be harmful
We know ourselves more than doctors and Psychiatrists
Some drugs have irreversible side effects
Especially drugs that are purposely and forcefully given
Adverse effects may include long term mental effects
Short term extensive health problems and hallucinations
These drugs slowly and rapidly push us on the verge of collapse...
Note. Stay out of reach of underlings, mobsters and impostors....

Troy as a city of darkness
has his underlings
teaching the ways of wickedness
How to treat woman like playthings
His enticement of arena games
Watch me boys
See what I can get away with
We're on the night shift
In my cloak of playfulness
Tickle their feet and watch then giggle
As they dangle from a ladder
Eye them up longingly for the thrill
A medieval knight of the darkest kind
Watch your skirts girls
He'll come from behind
Playing his jokes of the sickest kind...

the leviathan strides alone
greater than any other, 
he struts about the earth 
with the decadence of a predator
whose enemies are long gone

None other has risen so far, so quickly, 
beyond the crusted imagination
of his forbears, 
eons ago.

But beware, mighty one
For the day is at hand
when all of your works
and all of your  progress

will be brought to nought
as your underlings become
your eternal tormentors.
In the battle ‘twixt man and machine 
Machine wins....

Pediatricians smartened up
From when my kids were small,
'Cause now they're not the reason
Why their patients start to bawl.

They still do the examining,
Connecting all the dots,
But leave it to the nurses
To administer the shots.

It works with babes and toddlers
But as kids wise up with age,
They'll figure out the doc should be
The target of their rage.

A lesson to be learned, perhaps,
For bosses have the perk
Of letting all the underlings
Perform their dirty work!...
