Tried and True

I’ve never heard a podcast,
Which reveals that I am old.
I don’t know how to stream one
(And don’t want to, truth be told).

I’ve never paid with Venmo
And the same applies to Zelle.
My credit cards and checks or cash
Have served me very well.

My doorbell has no camera
And my house has no alarm
And so far, lacking both,
I haven’t

Yours Truly a Tried and True Philly Buster I

Prone to bloviation pure and simple
rides on figurative high horse,
which doubles up as my Plymouth Duster
analogous to General George Armstrong Custer
(blowing his i.e. mine little big horn)
anonymous readers I unwittingly fluster
poetic patina an artificial, superficial,
yet beneficial ego boosting luster
one mister re: man can muster.

I (no surprise) become
self absorbed with my own palaver drum

oozing, gushing, bubbling over
with faux snobbish suave re:

haughtiness, and ludicrous narcissistic pre

some anonymous browser
with Dutchman's breeches rolled up
upon cresting wave over Zyder Zee

The Lord God listens tried and true; 
When your life is enjoyable, 
There's someone who has prayed for you.

Without one or the other

Lord You Are Tried and True

I moved the mountain,
and all I have left is the valleys;
I filled the valleys
with love and manna from above;

So I'm yearning, but yet I'm learning
Lord to depend on you
and only you
you who are tried and true;

I moved the hills
and all I have left are the rivers and streams;
I crossed the rivers waters parted and I

Hillary Tried and True

Hillary Tried and True

Up with his mind no thoughts would marry
Words from mouth were obstinate and scary
And without him what could news ever do
Trump lied a lot and he was never true.

Unlike the Jabberwocky, the Hobabobaknox 
Was very good at staying hidden
You see, it understood a lot
Human races where forbidden
And it
