Dissonance a Forked Tongue in Cheek

You sound like a fingernail
dragged over a blackboard.
Every word cast as blackmail
from a forked tongue in cheek.
Bathed in the vile, bile of diatribe,
masticated to be flung as dung expelled.
Your snarled words reek with 
the dissonant cadence of discordance.
As your eyes flicker
from side to side with lies,
you look away, unable 
to face me, eye to eye,
unmasked,
unshielded,
nakedly

Bite My Tongue-N-Cheek

You shouldn’t ‘ve said that, bite your tongue
You said I look old, but you know I’m still young
If ever a wiz a wiz there is ??
I’ll bite my tongue and feel its fizz
You said I look fat, or something like that
and that I’m a tired,  bitter ol bat
You know I’m a sweet young dainty

Tongue In Cheek

Preaching to the choir
one more like will do
Beating the last dying horse
postings stay as new
I’ll read yours if you’ll read mine
lined up in the queue
I’ll say yes if you agree
— who is kidding who

Tongue in Cheek-The Grind

the grind, prefer dark;
shifting teeth do not agree -
the worst habit, under moon.

squeeze a tube of paste.
superglue the parts to each -
only metaphorically.

Friendships Demise

Oh, shed no tear for friendships last gasp.
When the fangs, finally show, a poisonous asp!

Run for your life, head for the highest hill.
The innocent acting asp, on your tail for a tasty kill.

Friends can be asps, don’t you know?
As deadly as frostbite on a frozen toe!

They despised gullible you, having such fun.
You thought them sincere,

Epic Limerick

There once was a girl named Sabine
The cutest one I’d ever seen
She had curly hair
And a teddy named Bear
And her bedroom was perfectly clean.

Sabine had a brother named Jude,
A generally radical dude,
Who liked to play games
And call Sabine names
Until Mommy said, “Stop being rude!”

Jude and Sabine lived in France.
Their parents had met at a dance.
Scupper,

On Apologies

today a baby died
a girl was raped
a boy was shot
someone got divorced
someone lost their dog
a car broke down
a flower was trampled
someone broke their arm
it rained
it flooded
there was a fire
there was a tornado
someone was given a diagnosis
someone failed their test
someone lost their job
someone broke up
someone broke down
someone burned something
a letter didn't come
someone declared war
someone didn’t show

A Tongue-In-Cheek Christmas Poem

'Twas the night before Christmas
On the village square.
Carolers were singing.
Everyone was there.

My daddy was a baritone
But his falsetto filled the air.
Mama shrunk his boxers;
They're not ready-to-wear.

He asked Santa for some new ones;
He didn't dare go bare.
So, on Christmas morning,
Santa left a spare.

Now daddy has a pair
That couldn't give a care.
He's back to singing bass
Thanks to

Alarm Clock

Appreciated morning time friend.
Despised morning time enemy.

Always knowing when to chime in.
Never knowing when to shut up.

Piercing the calm.
Then teasing peace, but only for a short while.

Liking to hear itself speak.
Can't hear myself think.

Alarm clock....
Oh, dreaded alarm clock.

The Tongue In Cheek Balm

The (tongue In Cheek) Balm...
Of "permanent" Sleep

Abbott, nothing beats the
     immortal heavenly reincarnation
     after mortality odometer
     unexpectedly set to zeros
preparing deceased
     body, mind and spirit,
     as I eternally rest in peace
    

Tongue In Cheek

Very often write with my tongue in my cheek
Strange saying that is, but when I'm at my peak
My humour is best
Pound away on my chest
Like Tarzan, eat bananas and things that go, “eek!”

A Tongue In Cheek Contest Poem

I entered a contest the other day
Waited patiently for it to be judged
Oh drat - I’ve got yet another N/A
The ‘glowing comments’ I received were fudged!

So I thought I’d change my poetry style
To see if a new strategy would work...
ANOTHER N/A's added to my pile
Now I feel a complete and utter jerk!

Guess now I’ve got

Tongue In Cheek

Tongue In Cheek

Who is that new upstart 
Yelling on my TV
Where is Archie Bunker?
Let things be like they used to be

And that pretty old woman,
Claiming to have the floor.
Why can’t I hear the news, or
Opinions of Eleanor.

Another channel there’s that old man,
With flailing arms and waving white mane,
Where is Grandpa Walton?
Things just aren’t the same.

Remember

Tongue and Cheek

It is the rudder of the ship in steering the entire vessel
In the compelling of each lip to be candid as they tell
As small as the tongue may be and so rarely is it ever seen
But you must also agree that it can often be so mean

It defines your inner most self so often preceding
