Whack and Wallop
Wham! That music is dainty.
But the bass drum gives it a kick.
Such tympanic contrast.
A tasteful tune with a rap,
such a whack, such a wallop.
Memory can tease, torture,
create that tasteful tune
while dredging up a thought
of something better not called back,
to avoid such a whack, such a wallop.

Wham Bam
Wham Bam not even a thank you ma’am, was I hit by a Mack truck or slapped in the face where I stand?
The severity of it, but to you a job well done, the patting yourself on the back knowing that I had nowhere to run
You knew my situation, you knew all about my sordid

Self Quarantined Misanthrope Pitched Into Purgatory Wham
Self quarantined misanthrope pitched into purgatory wham!
Ably cane resign eternal damnation (mine)
courtesy devil specially engraved telegram
prestidigitation found me vanishing shazam,
without a trace I disappeared in thin air voila
Earthly travails atop horns of dilemma ram
into me buttucks pitching yours truly ma'am
hoisted by my own petard sheepishly wool
ewe (red dully) bull heave human bug eyed
recalcitrant specimen (me)

Wham Bam Slam I Am Not Worthy
If I suffer from an affliction
If I stutter
If my grammar is gutteral
If the words I utter
Failed English at School
Sorry I am not cool
Pity me or the fool
Who uses education as tool
To dismiss what I write
Because it is not spelt or gramatically correct
As you supersede the common collective
Consciousness up for discussion

And Wham
It really was just like you read it in the poems, a bolt; a shock. One moment I was in a shop, minding my own bees-wax. Next thing I know, some dizzy girl is asking me to break a twenty. Good thing I had the change. Good thing I was ready

Ode To An Exit: Wham! Bam! Thank You Slam! ( a Narrative: Part 1)
It was time for the last POET to speak,
Though the competition seemed to be won.
The other team already had their fun,
Claiming the victory that they did seek.
These SPOKEN WORD warriors reached their peaks,
Since each poet had been under the gun.
The judges gave them points, when they were done,
Just to separate the strong from the weak.
The

Wham Bam No Slam
Would I be able to write in Slam
To attempt it I would just totally clam
For me it's rhyme
It does me just fine
If I tried, it would end up in a sham
