Such pipedream regarding
winning bucket loads of cash,
would make monetary woes
in an instantaneous flash
mine dentures no longer
will futilely grind and gnash,
cuz I would undergo oral surgery
and simultaneously acquire
mush sought after gumption,
where dental implants
could offer million dollar smile
mastication boring full force
while I monstrously, yet easily mash
the most unpalatable pop slop
made with tender loving care
courtesy the missus.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
play key role to alleviate paroxysms
debilitating bouts of anxiety and panic attacks
wracked these lovely bones
during their roaring twenties
severely impinging potential to relish
joys and sorrows present within mein kampf
vast stretches of life sabotaged
courtesy mental health challenges,
thus I acknowledge miracle of modern medicine
particularly prescription medication
(iterated within first line of this verse),
which allows, enables and provides
blessed escape illness noggin tortured.
Pertaining to the nuances and subroutine of said liquid lunch
And after many waxing hour's of forensic deconstruction
I feel it's only right to say
I was very, very drunk at the time
And cannot in all honesty even remember exactly what the final outcome was
Nor in fact what the actual meeting was
pertaining too in the first place
But i do feel thanks are in order
Let's do it again as soon as
I still have credit left on my expense account
Be a shame to let it go to waste
Kind Regards
Yours Sincerely

A Thoroughly Modern Monster
It’s hard to be a monster
Living in a modern world.
I’ve only got claws, not fingers,
And can’t even unlock my phone…
An Apple is no longer something to munch
And Orange turned into Everything Everywhere.
I now can’t eat runners for lunch
As I can’t even bite through their lycra!
It’s hard being a stylish monster
When you’re bald, spotty and covered in slobber.
I tried dating on tinder, but just got swiped left,
So now I think I’ll just not bother.
It’s impossible to buy clothes
As I seem to scare the staff,
So I’ve taken to living in the zoo
Hiding naked near the giraffes.
The animals don’t mind me.
The elephants like my smell.
If you spot me, do me a favour,
Just promise me you won’t tell.
Shhh!

Trump Thoroughly Becoming Terrible
Trump was thoroughly becoming terrible,
As well as unsure of self and unbearable;
Standing tall;
Real goof ball;
Like broken record appearing irrepairable.
Jim Horn
Lord I am a sinner
And you grace has supplied
Gives me another chance for eternal life

Father God forgive me
Of, ALL my sins from birth until now
Father God forgive me

And I thank-you, for another chance
And I thank-you, for my witness
And Father I thank you God for your blessings

Trump Thoroughly Upset
Starting this one from scratch.
Trump is upset and has made us upset;
Seems to fool around and always fret;
Injured in shade,
By a grenade,
Was in offensive he thinks they call Tet.
He even lied about this. What spurs him on
amazes me and I have many bones to pick
with him. Have heard he has Vietnam Vet
on his license plate as of late. Oh, and he
is offensive in many ways these days.
Jim Horn
Those past discouragements
and unheeded advices
made everything harder for me,
to reconsider love more thoroughly...
Did I ever find that true somebody,
who would have believed
so blindly in my unquestionable sentimentality,
and not in my loyal feelings living inside;
have I been so selfcentered
or put on a face of insincerity?
I eagerly searched for that perfect woman
with the urge of an irrational man;
unfortunately,I misjudged those wanting me
for their pleasure alone!
Oh,I could have been
so venturesome and silly,
and enjoyed the intimacy
so intensely desired by me!
Unexpectedly,I'm forced again
to reconsider love more thoroughly...
