Why so,
In life's pageant,
Some seek,yet come unstuck-
Whilst others from misfortune pluck
triumph.
There was a young man from Nantucket
who git his stuck in a bucket.
When he couldn't get free
he said oh deary me
I wonder how I can ow unstuck it.
The magician blew clouds of dust
from the ancient spell book:
‘Necromancy: Satisfy Your Lust.’
He chanted long and hard, but came unstuck,
and cried, ‘My strip-o-grams are rotten. Yuk.’

Set em up Joe, got a little story your mind it will blow
Bout a chick and her beau, making out in the snow
Got stuck till spring
Warmth unstuck their things
Had sixty-eight kids and a donkey they named “Flo”!!!
the light fades
the dark spreads
the cord snaps
the string comes unstuck
waterfall ceases
river runs dry
the sea retreats
the mountain flees
the hill runs
is this the end
or the beginning of an end?
or beginning of a new dawn?
Set em up Joe, got a little story your mind it will blow
Bout a chick and her beau, making out in the blinding snow
Got stuck till spring
Warmth unstuck their things
Had sixty-eight kids and a donkey they named “Nomo”!!!
Pretence at sacrifice concealed in a translucent veil as inverted altruism soon comes unstuck as its perfidy wears thinner and thinner to engender amazement, bewilderment, embarrassment and bemusement.
Shunt aside gifts to the
ego you flatter day and
night to blight your own life.
Blowing a Kiss
When irksome day, off tangles, comes unstuck
As the sun, behind a blushing sea, ducks
Thoughts of you I sorely miss
Pep me up to blow this kiss
To find you stooping , a red rose, to pluck.

Their hearing’s sharp; their eyes are keen.
They lurk in shadows; rarely seen.
The hunt goes on; but lose the fight,
against these killers of the night.
The traps are set; the bait is scent,
one tiny flaw, and hope is spent.
Their cunning mind, brings hope unstuck;
a hunters guile needs more than luck.
The perfect way to avoid overeating this Thanksgiving is to put super glue on your lips.
If you're not able to eat your Thanksgiving dinner, it can't go straight to your hips.
That's the perfect way to avoid overeating this Thanksgiving.
But if you can't get your lips unstuck, one week later you'll no longer be living.
how do I become unstuck
these wheels keep spinning in mud
how did I get so off-track
it must be this heavy load
I'm gonna need a little help
a gentle push to get out of this
you've always tried to help me
I know sometimes this was tough
what you need to remember is
I didn't get here by myself
so give me a push, a gentle tug
to get me back on track
Dr. Rose can't diagnose
A thing that's wrong with me.
I'm flushed and red with an aching head
And pain in both my knees.
Although the're clean, my toes are green,
My ears have come unstuck,
I'm feeling sick, my elbows click,
My temperature is up.
"Don't be daft!" the doctor laughed.
"Don't take me for a fool!"
Somehow he knows, that Dr. Rose,
I don't want to go to school.
When we are born, we do not know,
What life has got in store.
But if we did then perhaps maybe,
We’d want a little bit more.
We do not know if there’s a plan,
Or if life’s made of luck.
Plans we know don’t always work,
And sometimes come unstuck,
One thing we know, is life is short,
Too short to hesitate.
So make the most of what you do,
Heaven will not wait.
(For Dave)
Form:
paint yourself into
a corner then did you have fun
watching the paint dry
oh someone is left
outside in the cold ~ nothing
to write home about
take it or leave it
I have bigger fish to fry ~
yum trout almondine
he hit a dead end ~
no hit a brick wall crash and
burn gone down in flames
I come unstuck with
that ~ come to grief end in tears
~ he was a cold fish
Living a fourteenth century life in twenty first
waves of electro-magnetic circles
unstuck stuck resistance to unruly burst
fierce as a tiger ready to hurtle
mind making excuses in rehearsal
Scarcity a dominant stubborn thought
Freedom’s silent scream inside remains naught
Faith strong calls no craving or aversion
Honesty and Courage together taught
manipulation flies, a dispersion
A keyboard lays across my knees
like a sleeping lapdog,
The B and the K are sticky keys
that cannot bark
or pronounce their own function.
The keys are unstuck by pure alt control,
I have also trained them with a dog whistle.
Behind the plasma screen
Bach is barking
out of the mouth of a cello.
I wonder if I should wake up
the lapdog,
maybe
with a duet in B minus
for a K9 listener?
With so many Disney Characters
It’s hard to pick only one
There were many that I liked so much
They were all just so such fun
The only way I can make a pick
Is by thinking like a kid
I thought and thought til my brain boiled
I almost blew off my lid
At last I narrowed it down to one
Finally became unstuck
It’s the one I learned to imitate
I could talk like Donald Duck
Limerick: Once a mincing Mrs. from Mississippi
Once a mincing Mrs. from Mississippi*
Went to a bank for a fiddle-d-dee
But her girdle got stuck
And the “SS” came unstuck
That’s why Missis ends as a double P..
*No aspersions cast on Mississippians here;
the term refers to the Paleozoic era in North America,
following the Devonian and preceding the Pennsylvanian,
of course.

It’s easy to do nothing
And accept things as they stand
Or you risk some disappointment
If there’s something you have planned.
For, though change is often healthy,
There’s a chance that you’ll regret it
And so, prior to commitment,
Many simply say, “Forget it!”
If, like me, you can’t move forward,
Reach inside and, with some luck,
You may find some untapped power,
Just enough to get unstuck.
Label Sticker Man
There is a man with a special job
He sticks stickers on apples
They have to be stuck the right way up
And central on the apple
Without folds or unstuck bits
It’s a learned technique
And a very skilled job
Doing 80 a minute without error
Sticking stickers green apples
Sticking red apples
Sticking stickers yellow apples
Sticking stickers multi coloured apples
All apples need a sticker
I'm stuck,
Stuck in the hole you dug,
Captured,
Your friends captured me,
But theres just one thing,
I don't give,
Give in to doing things,
I said no,
Just leave me alone,
And go home,
I don't,
And I can't face you,
You,
Your the only one,
The one who can get me unstuck,
un captured,
Help I scream to the world,
Help I need someone,
Someone to help,
Even though your the only one to do that.
Form:
Take you no bread nor wine.
Craving will die in time.
For those who endure rime
will know a joy sublime.
Hanging from windswept tree,
know yourself, know your deeds.
Drooping now over scree,
suffer in bitter glee.
Many days without cup.
Many nights without sup.
Riddles and truths unstuck.
Screaming still, take them up.
Cut down from hickory,
rise now in victory.
Feat for the century,
spread now your alary.
COPLA OCHO: This Bad Guy World
Think you this World upholds Justice
Or stands for Principle that’s right
Fool not yourself
Everything’s in place: throw no dice
To make this World go round alright
Fool not the Self
Life’s like a never-ending film
With its patched-up plot come unstuck
In your dream true
In films Bad Guy’s chances are slim
Think now how real life turns his luck
To win right through

It was always such a delight
To see the children out in the night
Batting stones to curb
Picking at snails that trailed on the side of the wall
Just waiting for it to unstuck and fall
Ice cream melting down their grubby hands
The sound of a ball pelting the wet sand
The sounds of the shriek and screams and laughter
The start of a new game and everything after
Nothing like watching youth in the neighborhood
That kind of joy didn’t stay like they say it would
I dressed in a funny hat,
on a banjo I did sat
strings were flinching from beneath
it held my rear, just like a wreath.
What is funny, I did ask
on your rear, a banjo mask
oh, my heavens up above
it fit my rear,just like a glove.
I turned and made a silly face,
and felt a little out of place
what I did, is already done
might as well, have some fun
Silly me, just like a clown
to wear a banjo, as a gown
say adios, to another day
get unstuck, and walk away.
