Shure Poems


Premium MemberDon'T Let This Freak You Out

Spelling's such a stupid thing
    to get freaked out about

  Of this, I am very shure
    ~ In fact, I have no dout

Premium MemberBless Yo Heart

fo'give me my suthern dialektic,
us po folk dont take de trash out much down here

Dem rashnul boys shure fixate on dat suthern *ss,
seem not to care 'bout big or small or lad or lass.
De reason fo dis fasinashun seems unclear;
dat’s not da way strait thinkin folk do talk 'round here.
We’d likely vite ya over to our dubble-wide,
but we got backhoes when we need a body hide.
We hates to see ya talkin bad about de Lawd,
we hope ya meet before ya coved up wid sod.
So mebbe lay off all dem jokes 'bout kissing kin,
and we won’t all be sayin, 'bless yo heart' agin.

Regrets To Ash Footsteps

Almost every, time I regret a thing,
I've done it's from becoming my worst enemy
Why can I never seem, to step aside
Get out of my own way, instead of being 
Caught  between the many things preventing me
From heading to the spot, I should already be at
But am not,  the haves and have nots are definately not
Set in stone, but the etching of the rock, is getting close
& the ticking of the clock it never slows
Plus the pressure to be succesfull tends to grow, 
It looms large, i can't pretend it don't
& i'm to smart, to accept the notion I won't win
After the final second strolls
Off of the scoreboard, I know  that nothings 4 shure
Exept death and IRS collections so
I'll just take these mental notes, 
And let them fuel, the things i do like texaco
Then set the globe on fire utill there's nothing left but smoke
And ashes decending downwards on my coat
Footprints looking as if i just stepped through snow

Thank You Lord

In all the days of my world

You've been right by my side

You're love of me is unfurled

Once I got past my pride

Your love knows no bounds

For this I am Shure

You come out in my sounds

Oh Lord you're the cure

Though I didn't deserve

Your love helped me see

Though I hadn't the nerve

God came to me

Walk with me in this land

Put your faith in me

Together everyday hand in hand

Let's help everyone to see

How good life can be

With faith in the Lord

Live your life honestly

Never cut that chord

Premium MemberJimbo 'N' Jameis

Whatcha gonna do if’n Famous Jameis goes pro?
‘tain’t nottin ya can do ‘bout it, Coach Jimbo
Dontcha know, da freshman Heisman winner’s caught da eye
Even da Giants’ Eli ain’t a-rankin’ too high

Butcha ya got ta give it ta dem dadgum referees
Dey even find ways ta yeller-flag Drew Breeze
‘tain’t sayin’ Jameis is apt ta go jest yet
But if’n he gets lotsa bucks, he may jest be a Jet

Shure, New York might be colder’n a witch’s tit
But yer brass bra in January, Jameis can fit
Tajh Boyd ‘n’ Michael Vic should be grindin’ der teeth
Dey ain’t fallen outta da ugly tree yet (look beneath)

Now Aaron Rodgers is so granny-slappin’ good
Dis’n deserves ta stay; it’s jest understood
Jameis is hotter’n' a goat’s butt in a pepper patch
Jimbo, ya best find a way dem pro offers ta match!


 
*Written August 25, 2014 for Verlena's Ebonics contest.  Jameis Winston is 
the quarterback for the Florida State Seminoles and he won the Heisman as a 
red-shirt Freshman.  FSU's coach is Jimbo Fisher.

"I'm after finding black hairs in me bed!"
  "An' there's a relief!"

No Fair Fer Shure

Poor ol' boy Richard Odekirk,
Just couldn't get fired and hasta work.
It's unfair that he'll miss the enjoyment,
Of his 96 weeks of Unemployment!
