they are on the wrong side of the blanket…
bastards!...

besides me
he made a right turn
down the wrong side
of
the

just like me
he aint never
looking
back

She was beyound beautiful both inside as out....
Although amid many lights not so bright; within this 
World her child was borne, upon their wrong side of town ?...

Bill was beaten, he asked for butter and bread,
She was in bad mood after a swing in head;
But the case study revealed
In office of Dr. Field,
They both got up on the wrong side of the bed....

there's good and bad
wrong  side make you sad
right side you'll be glad
you made that choices
now you have a voice
that will travel world wide
 its up to you too
WRONG SIDE OR RIGHT SIDE...

Louisiana Rev had a session,
with a girl in the oldest profession.
Was found with his pants down,
on the wrong side of town.
His next sermon became his confession.

If you've a hole in the roof you'll see clouds
a hole in your plane you'll be kissing ground
but if your panties have holes
sensitive bits may just show
and you'll be working the wrong side of town...

The cat on my tongue is after the frog in my throat
I put the counted chickens all in one basket before they hatched
Broke a pulled leg, woke up on the wrong side of the bed
And I still saw right through you...

A blessed appointment so crucial, but missed the date
all things done so perfect but arrives at a closed gate
ill beyond any medicine
living like hell’s cousin
always on the wrong side of a rare misfortune's rate....

Did I perchance get up on the wrong side of the bed
Should I have gotten up on the other side instead
What else could it be
Perhaps I just need to pee
If I don't make in time, must be careful where I tread

series haiku

crooked paper heart
fold is on the wrong side
the right side

gripping the crayon
YOU ARE THE BEST, he labors
tongue between his teeth
	
can't wait till Sunday
opening his backpack -
his heart is broken

Mom to the rescue
his hero saves the day
Elmer's glue and hugs...

“Your hat's all wrong”, she said,
“On the wrong side of your head”.

“To the mirror”, she commanded.
Discovered I was now left-handed.

I removed the hat with discretion,
Found myself without direction.

Realizing the magnitude of my loss,
I valued the lines I could not cross....

always seem to be standing on the wrong side of hope
looking for the right seems wrong
slowly climbing to the bottom
on the shoulders of losers
sorry slips my lips
as easy as breath
the itch scratches at me
understanding the nothing more
grasping at stars from the floor
no comforting the dead
trapped within my head...

A lonely soul on the wrong side of town
Sweet life sour from constant runaround
Looking for life above her dismal place
Escaping anywhere, cast away into space
A life of misery is written on her face
Seeking the due dignity she can replace
Trying to not spend more than she earns
Buried under past, too late for concern...

She looks at me
with long suffering forbearance,
implying once again I must have
gotten up on the wrong side of my head
as all that comes out of my mouth
is sound without content
rhyme without reason
as clearly my left brain 
hasn't had the coffee
it needs
to kick the right one
onto submission.

Standing on the wrong side of the platform
  waiting for the train

Remembering the mistakes I made
  but not the reasons why

Listening for the truth beyond the excuse
  feeling what my thoughts would never allow

I boarded in the dark….

Ticketed, to a new and unplanned destination
  —fated, to a distant terminal unknown

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)...

It won't be long now, and football will rule,
those die hard fans, and there are quiet a few.,

One wrong word, and they are ready to fight,
can't miss this, grownups acting a sight.

They get painted all up, looking cute for TV,
the true fans stand out, ready for all to see.

Soon, very soon, football will rule,
so don't be on the wrong side, if you scream out boo....

Against a rafter,
the forlorn curtain sways reversed -
the wrong side of the tracks;
awoken in a death-dream state
and it sighs.  A sigh so shallow, so depressing
that the window with the eye impressions groans
and creaks open to the winter air of summer,
then forgets why it opened
and returns to its place in the cracked frame,
only to drift ajar again
and watch the rain fall indoors....

It seemed so easy then
Make your back to bend
There is work to be done
A good life is there to be won

But that is not true in this world
There is more strife to be held
And others who will bring you down
You’re from the wrong side of town

So forget who you are 
And go for it be a star
For when the world gets tough 
It’s you and that’s gotta be enough.

What come over me today, 
Really low is all I'll say,
Waking up late wrong side of bed, 
That's all rubbish as it's all in my head. 
It all leads back to that awful day,
 My loving partner passing away,
 The hurt the pain the going insane ,
It's all the mixed thoughts going on in my brain,
I've become a loner and socialising has gone, 
Not mixing with others,
 I'm now with no one.

Girl we went fragmentation because
Our thoughts couldn't garner more than
Bits as pieces; but, it never was, a fantasy ?
No Hollywood scripts nor Broadway plays these days....
Albeit Jekyll and Hyde could have mimicked my life: born upon
This wrong side of time ? Reaching into it's hat, with these empty hands
Eight years old again; racing down her ramp ? Are you alright ? Blood, dripping from my lips....

those who oversees
should try to keep trump overseas
his brain together squeeze

on wrong side of fence
Pence put up with Trump nonsense
by eating cheese blintz

was hard to convince
successfully run would pence
against Trump who is dense

what we always fear
we still have Trump around here
do wish would disappear

looks like duck is lame
wonder who will want the blame
we should try to tame...

You there, on the wrong side of the road gathering
     particles of burst bubbles
Me here, a sizeable dent in my cruise
     going the wrong way on a one-way
Inattention, looking beyond and backwards
     unaware and uninterested, sleepwalking

Until a voice unheard before . . . . .

Between the eyes particles burst
     bubbles float on a whim
Axis rights itself and
     goes the right way on the one-way...

I have a little pussy
He really is a chore 
No matter where he is, he’s on
The wrong side of the door
When he’s outside he makes a fuss
He wants to be let in
And only when you do it
Will he cease that awful din
Then late at night it’s quiet
And no one is about
He’ll kick up such a racket
So you have to let him out
I love my little pussy, but
Whenever he’s about
I’m never sure if he’s just come in
Or waiting to go out...
