Planning my weekly shopping list I must remember corn and peas....

stands at attention waiting

I enter the lottery discretely
For a dollar I do it quite cheaply
I’ve never won a cent
But this doesn’t prevent
Me from giving them my money weekly...

It appears that the wives of husbands who take viagra
are all getting their headaches back again....

This morning my weekly weigh-in was due
I screamed, surely it just couldn't be true
I tried not to cheat
But oh.. something sweet
Out the window my damned will power flew...

You would think fortune tellers would know,
for their crystal balls would surely show;
so on Mondays weekly,
why don’t we get to see,
the headlines read psychic wins lotto....

Got up too early to meet my son
At the cop shop for a coffee and a yummy bun
A bi-weekly affair 
Been meeting a year
Look forward to our chitchats and having fun...

Some good looking dudes, these jungle buffoons

Bill’s cucumbers grew long and hard
Nuns queued up for them in his yard
‘Twas their weekly treat…
They were not to eat
I’ll finish here… or I’ll get barred!

My therapy is chemical,
I go for weekly sessions.
My artery is femoral.
The site of my injection.

The venom attacks 
the mitosis of my splitting cell.
Dyspepsia takes over,
like a spinning carousel....

She slipped in 
then slipped out 
  
spinning 
my revolving   
heart 
  
a weekly affair 
doesn't seem fair 
life turned about 

feelings flew free 
but still here I am
just me...

The new employee calls in sick weekly.
On Monday this week.
On Tuesday last week.
On Wednesday the week before.




We wonder why he does not get into trouble.
Until we hear him call the boss
“Uncle Bradley”...

Trump Prefers Radical Over Practical

He thinks  poorly of people who are practical,
And Trump prefers those being really radical;
A true confession,
Liar is profession;
Should see in Mira Lago on weekly sabbatical.

A journey to the past,
For a weekly shop to last,
The grocer knew everyone,
When the baby boomers had begun,
We might get some biscuits broken,
Or an ice block, as a token,
Our olds did it on 2 quid per week,
Better times than this, they did seek....

Who is the Queen?
When all is said and done.
A nice old lady who wears nice hats
And in life has had a decent run.
Her servants do the weekly shopping.
She watches Corrie when at home.
And maybe like you she reads the Sun
Whilst seated on the throne.

Her knuckles sore as she spat and swore
whipping the cloth back and across

Crouched on her heels on the stone cold floor
The newspaper used as a rug

Her forehead smeared with black polish galore
She does her weekly chore

As she polished and shined four pairs of black shoes
On the eve of the Sunday mass...

Miss my music
Miss my jams
Miss my friends
Even the musical hams

Used to be weekly at least
Now once a year would be a feast

Thought my hundreds of jam videos
Would keep me goin'
Well, now I know,
And it's showin'

I'm music starved...
Seein' old jams
Is like showing a starving man
A food commercial....

It soars
high like
thought.
A passive
thing 
transforms 
swiftly in 
a current.
Moving 
its ears as
an elephant,
it flutters	
in the heart
of the void. 
It becomes 
unruly, 
flying
beyond the
eye-limits 
into ecstasy.

Brunswick Beacon Copy

This is our local weekly newspaper.

When having read this poem someone wrote,
Quickly went outside  after grabbing my coat;
A definite steal,
And much appeal;
Can find Brunswick Beacon copy in Shallotte.
