Despot

There is a madman named Putin
who unwisely put the boot in
he attacked Ukraine
again and again
tho' the POTUS said, 'You can't win.'

Premium Member Clerihew Rembrandt

Rembrandt's portraiture made him great wealth 
unfortunately that was not good for his health
He spent unwisely& never could save
ending up sadly,dead,in a poor mans' grave

Premium Member Why wait

Money 
spent unwisely 
resulting in corruption 
while millions are starving to death 
why wait

save the lives of people 
create a better tomorrow

Three Blind Mice a Parody

Three Blind Mice (Parody)

Three blind mice, Three blind mice
Unwisely they ran after the farmer’s wife
Who decapitated their tails with a carving knife
Did you ever see such atrocity in your life
With three blind Mice

Trail of Regrets

Times spent most unwisely, unkindly
are each marked on this journey of ours
with a cairn of regret; small reminders 
strewn by our souls like rancid breadcrumbs, 
untouched, even by the hungriest of birds 
not to stain the past, but to steer the present
and with hope, to sweeten the future


Fly Without Fire

Ruffles the feathers
holds the scruff of the neck
resembles the raven
disguise imperfect
subjects favoured
unwisely project 
suspect flavour
returns the reject
correct behaviour 
or disrespect
what flies lands 
what lives dies
play your hand
calm and nice
avoid the stand
Do not go twice

Premium Member The Custodian-Annihilator

The technological era we live in

As

The "Blasphemous One" will be recorded in the annals

Of human history

Because Man,

Instead of acting as the custodian of life on earth that

God intended him to be,

Unwisely, 

Was transformed into life's merciless annihilator!

Premium Member Sad Surprise


Blindsided with eyes wide opened
Emotions stirred by a dance that
Caused my lips to speak unwisely
Just one lust-filled dance,
And John lost his head

Shocked, troubled in soul
Never saw it coming and
Had no plans of execution

Bound by my own words,
There was no way out.
Surprised by my own family,
Sadness filled my sick soul.

Premium Member The Jolly Man Unwisely - a Mini Parody

Parody of The Holly And The Ivy. I ran out of
steam after verse two, but I felt it still worked

                   *

The jolly man unwisely
for he was full grown
Of all the cheese that was in the fridge
Old Jolly wolfed it down

Then Mrs Clause said, ‘Santa
O how your breath does stink
If it’s a promise that you think you’re on
Then have another think’

School Run

Do be aware, our highways and sidewalks, are covered with snow.
    And this morning's weather forcast , is minus zero.
    Despite this warning, of freezing rain and falling icicles.   
    Unwisely some folk, are already riding their bicycles.
    As for those, and everyone walking, while crossing a road.
    Do give way, and always remember to follow, the highway code.

Premium Member What To Use As Bait

What to use as bait
What wouild catch him?
Compel him?
Inspire him?
Intrigue him?

Should she be herself
Or someone more daring,
More exotic, more lively?
She had some choices to make
She chose unwisely
Landed him 

They married
And her real self came out
Lesson learned
Use your true self as bait
You may not want to catch a fish
Who has nothing in common with you

Premium Member The Humble Bee

The bumble bee
Is a humble bee,
And rarely does she sting

Somberly she flies
Until somebody tries,
To break her little wing

She will turn on you
If you unwisely do,
Such an unnecessary thing

Leave her upon her rose
Rather than step on her toes,
She wants to enjoy the spring

In need of a humbling quiet
More than a bumbling riot,
A hand too close can bring.

My Majesty

Unpleasant words spoken
Unwisely from her lips
As I speak of an angel
The gril I hate to miss
Who told her of such things
As for herself, she doesn't know better
Unwisely words spoken
The memories stay forever
Enter my heart
As you laugh out loud
Stay around forever
For to leave; you're not allowed
Forgive me as I ponder
About things which are said and done
But when shade surrenders to light
You're my majesty, the only one

Depends On How You Want It

From me another gets a thing 
Because he deserves something
And from me Absolute Nothing,
When he is eyeing Everything;
To the lustful her wished fling
At a fighter lesson-teaching swing
Such as boxers collect in a ring
And detached a feared wing…

And when insult in my ears ring
Dong-ended ding ding
And they displeasure bring
I try to Ease restore with Zing
Unwisely, I don’t to God cling
But wisely wouldn’t choose to cringe.
