One Upping Each Other

I got a dog, so he got a cat.
I got a bird.  He got a rat.
I got a snake. He got a gnat.
I got a tiger.  He called me a brat.
And the tiger ate him. So what do you think of that?

A poetry war

A competitive poet with ego galore
is always "one upping" to even some score.
They disguise their sarcasm in metaphors.
Most of the time I politely ignore as
no one needs a poetry war.

Arise

Rise up downtrodden, 
resurrecting from the ashes, 
upping dreams forgotten,
incarnate you flesh rotten, 
for with misfortune you have been smotten, 
from the valley up the mountain, 
from warming benches to become a captain.

Three Plump Old Biddy Birds

Three plump old biddy birds full of birdseed and whey
Sat on a limb spreading gossip and rumors that day
I heard she did this and he did that said Mrs. McVey.
They all had a story, about things crazy and gray.

One-upping each other on this nonsensical Tuesday.
Surely you have something better to do cawed a blue jay.
They took out their sling shots and forced him away.
I never should have married that fool said Mrs. McVey

Upping the Anti'

As far..As well? or wherever they are.? Semantics
About Semites..To me just are.' Abreham begat 
Ishmael and Issac...Both semites..Got me? So far?
S'wot i think.? Should i stop short of the brink.
.? So no need for a face off, or a great
Confusing stink.' War is not the way.'  Why
Shed prescious blood.? When the waters of Life
Invite you to drink.. To a new life, where joy's
Will Calls all' just let your spirit go into the pink.'

Failure To Come To a Complete Stop

Auto battery. 
Clicking.
Depleted energy.
Feeling grumpy, harried, 
Impatiently jump-start Kia.
Leave Mom’s neighborhood.
Octagonal, purely quintessential red sign taunts. 
Upping velocity, willfulness exacerbated, you zoom…

Yikes!

Extraneous white vehicle (undercover) trumpets sirens.
Realization quickens… Pegged!
Officer notes makeshift license knowingly.
Jail imbues hastily.
Gaining freedom – eight-thousand dollars cash.

Busted again.

It's All Out There

Some con men blew smoke
Trusting it was adequate 
Vulnerable and uncertain
We gambled from the same stack
For the beauty of your game  

Men with no tells flat line their hearts
For a better chance in spades
Calling our bluffs, upping the ante 
Some will fold, others will match 
We have seen each others faces

Our cards presented on the table 
Laden with truth, sobering
Round tables offered many suitors 
I complement it, a ring of surprise 
For your hand, your love, I am all in
