Why Trump Left Walter Reed

So Trump checked in to Walter Reed
And asked them for a cure for greed
They said, "Crystal Meth -
Or you could choose death -
But Fort Knox is where we keep seed!"

To Poets

To Poets -- By Walter savege Landor[1775-1864]
My children!Speak ill of one another; 
I do not ask you not to hate; 
Cadets must envy every elder brother,
The little poet must the great.

Pooh

“Pooh”


Winnie’s squeezed sigh was rather prehensile
butt Oh bother! was the scoop by Walter Winchell
bears do do do in the woods
but the buzz to bee understood
is it’s trees that make number two pencils

A splendid actor was the late Walter Brennan. There were so many movies and television shows he was in. One of his characters I would particularly enjoy: That was when he played grandpa Amos McCoy.

Premium Member Walter Frankenstein

My name is Walter Frankenstein.  
You might know Victor, my famous brother.
He was born under different sign, 
though we came from the same mother. 
I told him so many times before,
he should've stayed with the family store.

The Mojo Within--Blues Poem 13

The Blues fills my memory,
all emptiness gone

Its Harp laying claim,
my soul to belong

Little Walter cries out
‘that same old somethin’ again

Jimmy Reed to remind us
—of the mojo within

reading to ourselves

never speaking verse aloud

do we miss the point

Premium Member Bryan Cranston

Bryan Lee Cranston, as everyone knows,
Portrays Walter White in crime drama shows;
As vibrant as a conch-shell,
Enchants all by-action-spell;
His fine flawless voice like fluent flood flows…

False Love

False love 
False love,and thou played me this 
In the summer among the flower?
I will repay thee back again 
In winter among the showers.
Unless again, again, my love.
Unless you turn again: 
As you with other maidens rove,
I'll smile on other men.

Rest In Peace Walter Cronkite

Loud voices
with their measure
No longer 
deem to care
Our information feed
corrupt
With broadcast
millionaires

Stars masquerade
as journalists
To pander, slant
and spin
Truth to fester
in their swamp 
And sink
— but never swim

Cradling a nation
With warm love

Brightly guiding
Our pursuit of dreams

Comforting our sorrows
Celebrating our victories

Cradling a nation

                   with

                       warm

                             love

Hunter and Joe

Once there was a guy who was named Hunter 
who was once a lawyer and a banker. 
His father was handsome Joe
who ran his own "tik tok" show; 
Who looked like Dunham's dummy named Walter. 


*Just for fun.*

The Grand Circus of Life

The Grand Circus Of Life
-Walter Rossman

Welcome to the greatest show
no cords, no nets below
your life is at stake
don't make it a mistake
below the tightrope, failure stares
don't stumble, yet nobody cares
about you in this circus
to succeed, don't be nervous
don't fail, rely on sureness, 
luck will smile on us.

Sundays With Walter

On Sundays Walter gives Pastor Joe 
magazines to read along with  
comments on his sermons.

The pastor loves the magazines 
but Walter is leaving for another city 
so no more magazines for Pastor Joe

and no more comments about his sermons.
Pastor Joe will miss Walter's magazines  
but he won’t miss Sundays with Walter.

For alas, they had just seen their husbands drown :(
