Up the creek without a paddle
What a catastrophe

Was it a he or she
Who penned this line
With such simplicity

Up the Creek

Any day of the week 
If you find yourself up sh*t creek
As I understand 
You can use your hands 
But it’s a paddle that you really seek.

Hot Dogs

Although its been snowing all week
I can see two dogs up the creek
Despite the weather
They stuck together
Until one of them sprung a leak

Instructions

The instructions were written in Greek
Sometime before people could speak
By some grand design
It read line by line,
"This is the way to go up the creek."

Prozimity To Anonymity

Proximity To Anonymity

We had been floating up the creek;
And end of it had started to seek;
Probable proximity,
Was to anonymity;
Disappeared when longer did leak.

When you find yourself stuck in a corner
You will turn and see rules spread all over
Soon be lost in the shuffle
Up the creek with no paddle
Missed the boat like a fish out of water

Trump Speaking At Summit

Trump Speaking At Summit

When at summit Trump started to speak,
And when he did we ended up the creek;
Latest scoop,
Us did dupe;
Father of country said Trump is a freak.

There once was a man whose thoughts he would speak Each time the police were called to the freak Got himself arrested For what he suggested Last time he was sent off to Devil's Creek.

Trump Tweet To Wall Street

Trump Tweet To Wall Street

Trump sent another tweet to Wall Street,
And over and over did repeat and repeat,
Along with leak,
Am up the creek;
My dumb stupid mess you should delete.

Language You Speak

Language You Speak

What we all did was end up the creek,
When after a while we started to seek,
What we knew;
Your point of view,
And also language you do try to speak.

What is your primary language anyway?

Sully Was Back In the Saddle

Sully* was back in the saddle 
up the creek without a paddle 
Meenie stole his hat
followed a stout rat
With cookies his hands did meddle








Sully* is Sullivan my pet simian ghost
Meenie is my cat
Both are naughty

 I'm in the pickle mine
            Think

This morn mine palate
      In concert with
         Mine maws
      the empanadas
         hern dulce
Mine thank you waved
        She winked

         This noon
  Whilst enjoying the
    Spring's cool wet
         the naiad

         the naiad
            think

Hide and Seek

The words are playing hide and seek
And I’ve no clue where I should peek.
My situation’s not unique
But confidence is shrinking…

I fear I’m on a losing streak;
Without a paddle, up the creek.
My brain a rowboat with a leak
And I am slowly sinking…

I used to have a fine technique
Yet I’m in need of quite a tweak
Though I’ll provide my own critique,
The consequence of thinking…

This One Tall Whale

This one
Tall whale
Squirts bad sperm
Marine girls beware
It will give you teratology
In your womb
Plant seeds
Of extinction
I can't breathe sea harks
Up the creek
Krill die
Evil. We cannot ride high
No high lands
Water everywhere
No water
Water is fiend
Rats ‘congress
In dead-end streets.
Hey, Call it a day
Time to die.

Witchin

The witch slapped me with dragon flies, probably led to my demise, yes man i'm up the creek, the witches voice do shriek, "stop yappin little freak, honey chile you's talkin lies, in mortals i does despise, a poncy mortal weak:( forever hold your speak," broom left with cackling cries, before the moon she flies, horrendous to the weak, but me i canna speak, just spitting Dragon flies... re : Russell Sivey "The Witch Before Me" Don Johhnson

Beasts Carolyn

emotions they flutter, and lessons are learned, beware of the eyes of the beast, charmed by the snake, bird hesitates, so hypnotised, now it cant speak. so it's now up the creek:( (cactus, snake do do) cactus ratshoot was the bird, after the snake had scoffed him on, a sweet delight, and he was gone, anon, too right momma...
