Honey, You Can't be a Shark if You're Toothless
You're a fool for starting the friction
But I'm a fool for starting the motion
F you, no I’m a fool for believing the notion
And giving my eyes to the intention
The northern lights fell on me
And open ice sheets make me weary
I can see every breath but I don’t feel alive
I can

Toothless Bandits
Play hard,
the toothless bandits are at it again.
they have no teeth,
yet bite the hardest.
serial larcenists,
squelching through town,
robbing the honey,
subverting the hives.
at gunpoint,
they silence us.
we play hard,
they play even harder.
in the tripod of power,
they're revered highly.
'distinguished' and 'honourable,'
titles that enable them.
they excavate,
the remains of our land,
stripping us of all,
leaving us bereft of hope.
this

Toothless In Montclair
Toothless In Montclair
A tormented man who lives in Montclair
spends every day in a dentist’s chair
All the pulling and drilling—
Not to mention the billing!
He now brushes teeth that aren’t there.

Toothless
she drew out spittle and split hair on her tongue in suspense
an audience pitched their bets as snot and mucus went dense
as she rattled nails tightened her fangs closed in on her foes
she only licked her wounds with phlegm to soften the blows

Toothless Pen
words of wisdom that's poetry
tree of poet all over free
come here to learn all
don't kick the life ball
backbiting pen can't bite fairly!

My Fat Aunt
An aunt of mine
cheerful and cherubic
holds no grudge against anyone,
altogether she is a noble soul.
obese, extraordinarily
huge, short, blunt,
a moving bag of flesh,
She walks, moves,
squats, lies on the floor
with ease. Alarmingly flexible!
She ties her hair loosely
with a string

Toothless Dog
I am not an angel
I only locked my boneless leg in a jail
Simply, I don't want to make you wail
Cos I want to hail
ME someday
I'm not a toothless dog
Never ever a toothless dog
I can bite really hard
Cos my blood also get heated up
The hungry leg that lies there
That looks on like it doesn't care
Really

Toothless and Blind
You killed one of mine.
I killed two of yours.
You retaliated by killing ten of my brethren.
I hit back killing one hundred of your people.
Enraged, you eliminated one thousand of my countrymen.
Outraged I obliterated a town of yours.
To get even you destroyed a city of mine!
I came back.....!
The same thing is repeated for thousands of years:
An

Traveled a slower toothless cow
The last in line, all that she sees
Is sore gums and molasses now!

Tethered and Toothless
beyond these shores
people live in destruction
they scramble from day to day
their existence is created by
the the ways and means of war
they are divided by doctrine
and each alliance
exploits their well being
beyond these shores
the tyranny of might
causes men and women to
take shelter only
to have to fled to
better places
which existence is right
that they both war against the people
what

Let the Toothless Dog Bark
Let the toothless dog bark
it wouldn't harm the shark
Because they continue to embezzle the fund
And crabbing public land
Dollar meant for developing the shanties
into reputable cities
Stole by rich becoming richer day by day
Poor languishing in poverty without pay
Urgent alarms for sobriety rings
See what lack of knowhow brings
If you know your

Toothless Dragons
Toothless Dragons
And so the toothless dragons roar
tepid flames of apathy staining the air
regurgitated realities revisited
picked at in search of sustenance.
Circling, they do the hating dance
feet spurred to movement by heat
applied by flaming puppeteers
protecting the strength of their strings.
Moving - the flaccid jaws of acquiescence
beholden to the controller of the strings
paralyzed by the power of

Toothless Ruth Revisited
Forgive me, just some silly nonsense...
You can have your Chatty Cathy
Or Annie with the big Fanny
But you can't have Tom Terrific
You don't get it? That's uncanny!
They gotta rhyme like Sarah Tiara
Or Tammy who loves Salami
There's the famous Roger Dodger
And little old Hammie Sammy
There's more, there's Skinny Minnie
Or sweet li'l ole Flirty Gerty
There's Amy who smells

Toothless Ruth
You can have your Toothless Ruth
Or Jeannette the sweet Coquette
But you can't have Crazy Harold
What part don't you get?
They gotta rhyme like Contrary Mary
Or Peter with the Metre long nose
There's famous Georgie Porgie
And of course there's Black Hose Rose
There's more, there's Moody Judy
Or nasty old Cranky Frank
There's Earl who's very Squirrel like
And how about Hank
