Short Undignified Poems

Before me, civilians bestow themselves
In debauchery: undignified city.

Behind me , the thoughtful Moon....

Fear
In any form
Is ugly
Just as death
In any form
Is undignified
And fear of death
In any form
Is both
Ugly and undignified...

Will you help clear the clutter in my skull?
My desires.
Spilled all over the red carpet.
Undignified grace.
Where are the curtains?
Call them now! 
You've ruined the illusion...

The actress is Dead....

23% of all photocopiers that malfunction worldwide
Is caused by people sitting on them, taking shots of their hide
Yep! Photocopying their bums
That's hilarious, what fun
When I showed co-workers, their reaction was undignified...

"Libel!" was screamed in a most undignified way
Not realizing that truth was always on display
Know that when bullied, this gal has a field day
You'll never be able to harass or make her prey

(in honor of 3 days of someone attempting a lawsuit threat - 'tis a non-issue now)...

Leave me alone to be with my maker
Damage done to only be one
Broken undignified fool of a fantasist
Gone from a time once begun
Where dreams were natural to only believe
Potential perfection has now taken leave
With heart now closed to love unknown
As progression to God surpasses alone....

Wishful Watching

Voluptuous, soft curves, peek-a-boo with fine silk, “Come hither,” I hear.
An old woman observed me as undignified ilk, “It’s only a mannequin, dear.”

VIOLET, my passions so prescribed.
INDIGO, I follow her soul's desire.
BLUE, my companion so true to life.
GREEN, l am filled with envy.
YELLOW, the undignified distortions of life.
ORANGE, the bright citric passions in me.
RED, the depth of my Sincerity.

That's the rainbow of LOVE

Roused from deep slumber
Unaware of my whereabouts,
Slouched in undignified stance,
Time-warped and busted
Eroded, at the end of the road...
Did I hear a carer's voice?

...or Jack be walking funny for a while...

Jack was nimble,
And Jack was quick,
But he miscalculated
That candlestick.
It was skinny and tall,
He was thick and quite small.
When he lit,
It was with an undignified bump,
With a blister
The size of his fist on his rump.
Then a notion occurred
To this game little actor,
Before he tries it again,
Jack will use a protractor.

DIGNITY




The  racing crowd streamed from the station,
And flowed towards the bus stop.
It ebbed at the kiosk for cigarettes,
Swirling around two undignified ripples:

An old beggar crawling on the ground,
Scrambling for a few coins scattered;
Three pigeons walking  awkwardly around, 
Scrambling for a few scattered crumbs.

The human race was more dignified
As we  scrambled for crowded buses....

I cannot face a whole turkey
for when I see the leg sticks
trussed up in the air
it is undignified
and reminds me

there will be no more running days
no more flirting days
no more chasing dancing courting days
for this particular fowl

I prefer to purchase a turkey breast
knowing that you can live without a breast
it makes me feel less like a killer
more civilized somehow
as I push the corpse into the turkey bag....

You cannot take from me
that which I have yet to discover
Although I walk upon a crumbling wall
it is you who fortified my ignorance
Witness my strength grow exponentially 
as I venture further beyond your reach
All that you are has become tedious 
I have discovered my own significance
My indifference somehow diminishes you
and your response is less than dignified
