In wits and style above the gradient.
Declared she that wigs would be "in"
Along with glowing skin.

He tickled her wit, then smiled

is a life suited for the wretched;
when those unavoidable regrets
come into play, we drop all wits!

Kids borrowed from the father side.
Of sudden news I badly winced.
Just half a wits passed to my child!

He couldn’t scare things by saying boo
He put on a mask
And scared everything out of its wits
He even scared himself

whose wits were as bright as a stool
he soon walked a path
of womans great wrath
that poor fellow was just a fool

And throw them off a mountain
So that they are are scattered
in some kind of pattern
to make up this world
I call my own

Stuck in a room that's dimly lit,
Three doors closed, lock and key,
May I find the wits, or tools around me,
To open (a) way to the light that I see

He likes eating toast made with cinnamon
But uses his wits
To not eat his grits
Then excuses himself like a gentleman

so i named each of them daniels
but im out of my wits
cause on birthdays each sits
lighting and blowing out candles.

When he coughed and sneezed out his plate
His date had quick wits
And smiled, "Hey! It fits!

Pilfered a verse from a tricky muse
Each stanza with riddles he did infuse
Perplexed, I shuffled each line
Fusing the metric spine
Confused, my remaining wits did loose

Out of wits and senses
Prone to diseases and loss of breath
Ends only in DEATH

foolishly and fail to hold
the snow falling from tall trees
shorter trees succeed
holding these and feel happy ---

Emotionless pit, endless fall
To the depths of insanity
I crawl
Timeless confusion, reeking decent
Can’t find my wits
I am bent
Lost feelings, numb mind
Destination unknown
I am blind

I know her well, and she knows me too well,
the way we two talk, the whole town can tell,
ten years wed, fire she spits,
drives me crazy, out of wits,
how wedding cakes can change heaven to hell!

Alas it seems my list has been curtailed
as half my list has been unjustly jailed
all those naughty bits
challenging my wits
I’ve tried and tried again yet always failed

Abundant and Redundant
Trump's weird words have become abundant;
To poets like you and me they are redundant;
When we saw him;
His wits were dim,
And has adopted the ability to be repugnant.

When Cyris snored it shook the house piers,
Reducing his wife to constant tears,
At wits end she put a peg on his nose
To stop where the emanating air noise grows,
But unfortunately it blew off both of his ears.

Edification is where it's at
Always be willing to feed your mind
Sharpen your wits
Make your world shine
Knowledge is there
Just reach out and grab it
Be willing to learn new things
Edification is where it's at

Witlessness
Someone must have stolen all the “wits”
For it now seems the world is full of “twits”
Who doubt the signs that warn them of “wet paint”
When told they’re sitting in it say “they ain’t”

Another new day arises
Here is your chance to start again
Carry out the performance of your duties
And strength your vision my friend
Do better and be better
It is all within your mind
Sharpen your wits
And be bright as the sunshine

candles lit
wax drips
I am firmly
in your grips
underneath
Egyptian sheets
passion grows
as our love heats
in my heart
you're the part
I knew it well
from the start
it all fits
well matched wits
loving all
I taste of this
