Stank Poems

Silhouette of a Stranger

The bloody stranger stank of rank grass and
Animal grime and strutted unnoticed on
Our threshold on a long, misty night.

Lightning, unaccompanied by rain,
Exposed his grisly image,
Comprehended quickly by the village griot,
A humepenthe with seeing eyes, though blind,
Who could smell danger even from long-dug holes of
Doss-houses from distant caverns.

A common, vile dictator is abroad tonight!

Premium MemberDill Pickle Hated Blue Cheese

Dill pickle hated him so
Because he stank badly
Dill pickle screamed just go
Blue cheese wept thus sadly
When I leave the fridg, bro
I'll stink ever much mo
Dill pickle grew older
Fermenting like a bozo
Then opening his holder
A stink scent deathblow

Dancing Dragons

I thought, back then,
that what I felt for her was love.

Jack said it was just lust
and certainly nothing less.

He had a point, she stank
of pure pheromonal passions,
Together we had an alchemy of ardor
and odor.

We grappled at sultry flesh
and made it speak.
There were no soft whispers,
howls and growls
were our feverish cravings
our furious devotions.

Jack said:
he could hear us thrashing together
clear across town,
that we were always on fire.
Even strangers saw us
through a blood red sexual prism,
their eyes darkening
as erotic dragons danced before them.

Jack was a bit of a poet.
I was simply a raging animal
caught in a love net,
but of course,
Jack already knew that.

As I think about it, it's only fair
that Matt should get the electric chair. 
In three minutes of time, I wove pure gold 
and waited several weeks to be told.

Seriously, I have him to thank
for not telling me my poem stank.
We should find it in our hearts to forgive.
Oh, the ignominy he must outlive.
 
I must kindly thank him, before I'm done
for his contests, creative and fun.
Here it is, Matt!  Here's my latest rhyme.
Have mercy on me and take your time.

Premium MemberDead Skunk Season

After driving for miles on the highway,
I noticed a lump near my driveway:
a black and white chunk,
"Omigosh! It's a skunk
and he's gone to the 'Sweet By and By' way!"

I could tell it was dead because he
gave off a real hum. It was funky!
It was reeky and rank;
it was stale and it stank
and the stench of it really repulsed me!

Premium MemberSmokin' Bones

All I need is a little weed 
to get me through my day 
So, Ill lick some glue on "Big Bamboo" 
and I'll roll myself a jay
 
I don't need much of nothing 
and nothing needs much of me 
As long as I can live my life 
Feeling good and all pain free
 
Oh, my, my I'm feeling high 
And I can't think of nothing to say 
My oh my, yes I'm kind of high 
And I think I kind of like it that way
 
Smokin' bones soothes my bones 
And it makes me feel okay 
I had my thrills with non-sense pills 
So, I gave them all away
 
I had a close call with alcohol 
Well, I drank till I stank my beard 
But I must admit that I had to quit 
Started feeling all wacky and weird
 
Heck, all I need is a little weed 
That'll get me through my day
So, I'll lick that glue on "Big Bamboo" 
and I'll smoke myself a jay

But it stinks so well

Premium MemberChapter 116 -- Damian Delilah Mallory: Food Celebrations and Sickening Preoccupations

Today September 10, 2046 was
Matthias and Shadir's day. Dolly
Came to wake Molly from an empty
Plate dream. "Wake Molly girl!  On
Your feet honey I know you're hungry."
Molly laid in bed stretching, "Okay
I'm up! Ugh! What time is it." Molly
Shielded her eyes from the sun  shining 
Through the vast panoramic window.
"11o'clock come on I cooked. Hit
The shower stank rose." Dolly pulled
Her from the bed and pushed her
To the shower. Molly jerked away.
"Alright!! That's...I'm okay. Good job."
Go check everybody else. Let me 
Be." Then she started the shower as
Dolly left.  Delilah began inventory 
When Mallory was done with her
Shower and full final morning preparation.
Molly came to Dolly, "So What's in
The pipes for today."  Dolly reported 
"First I'm doing Inventory, securing our
 food supply."

Working Stiff

a working stiff

Woke, the bedroom was cold under the duvet snugness 
I burrowed deeper, enjoying the freedom of sleeping late.

Life was hard, getting up at five and preparing breakfasts for
grumpy seamen, smoking the first cigarette of the day.

The breaking of the fast was endlessly tedious, something
with eggs and fatty meat.

Sometimes when there was a gap between feeding times, 
I tried to write; my hands stank of chip fat.

On hundreds of pages, “I’m alive, I’m a life”.
I was a robot; my body is going through a motion.

When peeling potatoes, I was suddenly awake
fake brown gravy and spuds; there were no robots

The bed is warm; nothing can touch me now, 
touch me now!!!!

Water Water Everywhere

Water, water everywhere,
Yet people don't think,
Tank. 

Water, water everywhere,
Yet people's thoughts stay,
Blank,

Water, water everywhere,
Yet people still sit on the ,
Bank.

Water, water everywhere,
Yet many people don't priority,
Rank.

Water, water everywhere,
Yet people wonder at so many feeling,
Dank.

Water, water everywhere,
Yet few people are buying rope by the,
Hank. 
 
Water, water everywhere,
Yet people wonder why so many hopes and dreams,
Sank, 
When we failed to make use of the water before it,
Stank.

Bank Job No Longer Fantastic

Can’t you for a moment be frank
About his being of higher rank;
That not once, not twice, your heart sank
And you’d wanted to yourself spank?
Nsofor whose sweat and robes stank;
The smell of air in his room dank!

I know your prayer is A Bank
Working in one should swell your tank:
On rougher days a sneaking prank
That makes one seem less of a crank…

Not in Nigeria of today:
Just above Two Thousand a day
You-please!-don’t change it to dollars:
Cost of the pants of footballers…

Now, one pays for iced juice one drank
Or it gets debited from shank:
A painful farewell to free malt,
As sellers shall one later halt!

Have you heard the story,
Of Stink, Stank, and Stunk?
The one of a kind, bonafide,
Three headed Skunk.

Stink was on the left,
Stunk was on the right.
Leaving Stank in the middle,
With no peripheral sight.

They always disagreed,
On who was in the lead.
Each vying for the spot,
Unwilling to concede.

They'd go round and round,
With tail in the air.
Snapping at each other,
And ripping out their hair.

But it never did fail,
After lifting their tail.
Would spray a triple dose,
Oh man, what a smell.

It'd bring you down to size,
Putting tears in your eyes.
The stench was so bad,
It would even kill flies.

If they ever come near,
You'd better disappear.
Just run for your life,
Till the coast is clear.

Premium MemberBuilding Back Broke

Inflation rages
       Outdoing wages

       Stock Market tanked
       Stench from DC stank

       Fed increases spending
       High interest on homes, impending

       The answer in November comes
       Do not re-elect the same bums

[ with a hint of the bridge from A Man Has Dreams
sung by the character George Banks in Mary Poppins ]


A bank is a community where people banked
They did so with impunity until it tanked
When interest, like a river, overflowed its banks
And fishes, schooled communally, all died and stank.

For Kamala, online communities give thanks.
Her oratory gaffs, a laugh while they make bank.
The little sh*ts get lots of hits; her ratings tank.
Cuz twitter’s a community where witters wank.
