Premium Member Trying to Outbrag a Small Town Girl

she is always bragging about her hick town
where everyone knows you and there is only one frown
I am from Texas where boasting is what we do
trying to outbrag this small- town girl is wearing me blue

Historical Paint in Town

Exploration!
Confound?
In your exit!
Out myself?
"While Lancaster assumes the role"
News and filming
My first conviction times, bold.
Losing renewal values
Abundantcy people on a crime
I'm sure of that much
When I'm in the business transaction, okay and your going?
Off the call.
It ends in you called yourself back, I'm fine.

Freedom from film in French
Just getting to france takes hello's!

Ahoy!

French Prisoners

Kevin and the Irish actress stay put

Get Lara's the news

Lara's in the system, finally.

Check!

Ghost town blues

What do I know?
living in dreams
chasing the space

the void between
stars and lamplight
chasing love songs

baptismal in beer
running wild tonight
chasing the smoke

an electrified prophet
plays six strings
ghost town blues

Premium Member No Humor Town

The President started this as an experiment
To squash critical thinking mixing with mirth.
The Leader of the Free World wondered
"Well what is it worth? They make fun of me, cause dissent."

And the ordinance was made.
And the boredinance began.
Personally,
I've already been fined $500 
For just now writing the word "boredinance."

Such is life! 
In No Humor Town.


Ghost Town

I saw one with the placidness of death
A necropolis pummelled, with mallets of sorrow,
By the brutishness of Silence and numbed by the
Prickly shafts of premature grey hair, sickly and odorous.
Even Tokyo, normally awash with people and pets,
Pots and pans, observed the rules of siesta.
I witnessed it —a virus so vicious —!
A plague that humbled one and all —
Troglodytes we!

Premium Member Caveman Speaking

You ask me why I live in cave
Caveman not want to be a slave
I take a chance and look around
I see that people act like clown

Your little ones you not take care
You always running here and there
You drop them off at crazy school
No discipline when they break rule

They spend their time in front of screen
You wonder why they act so mean
They don’t know sex or what is real
By age of ten know how to kill

Government tells you what to do
You give up trying to be you
Purpose of life, make more money
Hate is growing it not funny

I choose a life here in my cave
Not make a choice to be a slave
I took the chance to look around
No way I’d choose to live in town

Premium Member Yes I am a Hick from a Hick Town

Yes, I am a hick from a hick town
where people look out for each other.

a town where people chip in money
for baby showers, weddings, funerals or a kid who needs shoes

a hick town where everyone knows everybody else’s story
where we are not afraid to eat a stranger’s baked goods
or give a hitchhiker a ride

we still have quilting bees and autumn festivals
I am from a hick town where people raise money to send a teen to England

We gather with our tractors and combines to help a farmer who is laid up
for if he does not get his crop in, he is financially sunk

Yes, I am a hick from a hick town
where people look out for each other
and proud of it

A Name By Any Other Arose

Native Americans call me 'Paleface'
'Roundeye' say the Chinese race
to a Scot I'm a 'Sassenach' 'Boyo' to those in Wales
altho' a 'Limey' in New York
I answer to none such hails
once a 'Gweilo' in Hong Kong Down Under was a 'Pom'
you may give a dog a bad name (and/or a bone)
he may even be your (best) 'Pal' don't think me fuddy-duddy
for what's more I have my limits and I'm not your (good) 'Buddy'
then a 'Rooinek' 'round Cape Town
'Farangi' was I in Dubai
and tho' no English rose was a 'Bloke' when there
as originally from Kenya when owned by Blighty
in some parts of the U.S.A. I'm now called 'Whitey'
'Haole' in Hawaii that's me and 'Gringo'
down south in Mexico
seems I'm all things to all men a man of many hats
altho' no they know me not
whether saint or sinner
you may call me what you will
but just not late for dinner

Premium Member In My Small Town

  
     No riots today in my small town
         No protestors or police around
     Everywhere I look, peace and quiet
         On Main Street, three dogs lie down

     Town’s not for sale ~ you cityfolk can’t buy it

Premium Member Have Dreams Become Decrepit?

Visiting the small town of my youth,
I longed to find lost moments of truth.
I tried to find the hope left behind,
Time and young days are hard to unwind.

I never forgot this town, or names.
Time changed it, yet it is still the same.
The difference is time has erased
All the moments of our time and place.

Buildings where we laughed: decrepit now,
Moonlight dancing: they do not allow.
Where are the dreamers, we had plenty
Old, decrepit, dreaming they're twenty

we may have a dream that has grown old
One we've polished into a rare gold.
And a dream we have may one day die,
Not decrepit, it leaves on a sigh.

Premium Member Huge Hullabaloo in Angel Town

huge hullabaloo in angel town
A jumbo jet has landed upside down
Where is the queen? We asked. Bring the crown!
She arrived minutes later, in a gold brocade gown.

Who landed this plane? She asked with a frown.
I did, said the handsome pilot, Jack T. Brown
Were any hurt? Did any get lost or drown?
Of course not, he stated. I am not a clown!

Premium Member There is a New Pope in Town

He may not be new to Peruvians or New York, but he is like a brand-new shiny penny to us. His casual manner serves as a guide to the pathways Jesus took. He is a simple and uncomplicated man of God. I like him, I can't wait to see his program rolled out before us. He greeted people on his Popemobile with dignity and pride. I can't wait for his presence in the City of New York. What will he say? How will we accept him?  With Grace and Humility. I hope. Pope Leo XIV, I welcome "Your Grace."  It is time for the Catholic Church to be brought together as one. I believe you can do this. With help from the congruent. I am a simple catholic person who believes, you can bring us together. Don't allow the Power Structure to ruin your vision. Be Strong and stand with the people. We love you.

My Town: Columbus, Mississippi

My town is a very friendly city,
Filled with great music and attractive art. 
Long, dirt roads surrounded with great Pine Trees
An incredible Air Force base with planes, 
that soar above the small town I call home.
Peaceful rivers where most go in summer.
 Tasty southern meals at every table, 
Worshiping churches everywhere you go,
Historic culture all throughout the town.
Beautiful wildflowers seen in spring,
along with loving and pleasant people.
Old antebellum homes and public schools.
Little statues with very big meanings.
Housing the first public women’s college.
Possum Town, where many lives are rooted,
which does include my family and I.
With a great heart, comes lots of great people.
This town is all I have known my whole life. 
From the building I took my first breath in,
to the little league fields I stepped foot on.
