Premium Member Dissonance a Forked Tongue in Cheek

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...

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....

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...
