Premium MemberA Double Whammy

Timmy developed bad hay-fever
He saw the doctor for some tabs
No medication seem to work for him
He tried everything the pharmacy had

Another problem soon arose 
For all and sundry to see
Each time Timmy sneezed 
He would get a woody

His hay-fever now out of control 
Sneezing constantly
His woody was up and down
Getting weary as can be

His woody stood to attention 
In the most embarrassing places
The town folk were disgusted
Disapproval on their faces

The doctor rang Timmy to say,
Please come and see me
We have an amazing new medication
From your hay-ever you will be freed

A miraculous new antihistamine Timmy was prescribed
The outcome he could not believe
‘Miracles do happen’ Jimmy thought
No more hay-fever, no longer did he sneeze

The other issue was also resolved
Such a relief for dear Timmy
But now his willy was sound asleep
In a coma permanently!!

Premium MemberSummer Solstice Is Coming

given a double whammy
they wanted to double down
on double talk
   in the 
torrid gust

the summer solstice 
   its sundry insectile eyes
   seething with sultry scorn
in this weather channeled
   source of telegenic storms

seasonal shifts are
  lost in translation
poisoned neural flowers
  the root of 
rotting neurosis
  the Earth becomes
Venusian

 profoundly tragic
hypersonic horses
 fly out of the digital barn
they sail over the 
  northern hemisphere
firing blinding arrows
 into the dead brains

The Tropic of Cancer 
  and Capricorn
relax in the tropics
  the Sun lords it 
over the equator
  precession calmly proceeds
(23.44° is the Magic Number)

all is well 
in the best of all 
 possible 
 flatlands

Premium MemberA Smile Is a Frown Upside Down

There was a lady from Miami
Often would give you the whammy
She could read your mind
As you whimpered and whined
As your hands got sweaty and clammy

It leaves a great big hole
After many years of observing
Though I'm not an expert, I've found
This revelation to be absolutely true
A smile is a frown upside down

Which would you rather be
Happy as hell with a joyful heart
Or go around with a scowl on your face
Till all your friendships depart

Perhaps you've noted a theme
Running through my words so wise
Love and passion for all youse ladies
Wearing a bright perpetual smile

Don't wish to bore you my friends
With these constant poems about love
But in these final years this old geezer has
Nothing else gives my heart a shove

Premium MemberDaddy Understood Her

Her inner knowing 
kept her apart from the others
not that she was better
but she was hyper vigilant
more aware of their dangers
she sensed their meanness

being an empath 
boded well 
being a healer and an empath
was a double whammy
she felt more strongly than many others
She had to protect herself a bit

She was a life-long learner, inquisitive 
enthusiastic about mysticism and spiritualism.
most of her relatives did not understand, 
her mother thought she was odd.
her sister told her that she was crazy.

Daddy understood.
They often passed each other in their dreams
during astral travel.

Rainy Days and Mondays

Like a persistent pest
it is an uninvited guest 
it ousts me from cozy nest
only to snap my sweet rest

My Monday morning alarm
takes a slap on him with no harm
the day stares at my tantrum
after the alarm states its dictum

I pull myself out in gall
worst day with his wet pal
brings cold and chill rainfall
ever the two time it ill in call.

This double whammy that stirs
Rain and Monday take my slurs.

Premium MemberDouble Whammy Clerihew

Pierce Brosnon is divine
Of male species so sublime
Sky blue eyes and peppered hair
Just make me want to bare

He and Russell Crow
Just make me go go go
Gladiator despite the gore
Just makes me want him more!

Spreading

As I sit here stretching to touch my toes
I’m amazed to see how my body grows
As years pass by my height reduces
No longer producing needed juices!

My body has clumped and can no longer bend
I used to possess a great, firm, rear-end
I kneed and console and sweat the pounds
Be gone from me!  Let slimness be found!

I’ll walk and jog - I’ll run a while
But can I make it an extra half-mile?
I need to change life-long habits
But, must I eat like the local rabbit?

Grease makes food taste good, sugar is great
Frying is tasteful as up goes my weight
My pounds go up as my fanny drags down
Will I ever trip?  Can I rebound?

I watch years marching on, time does pass
As I worry about my stomach’s gas
I know I can make it – I’ll firm my bust
My desire for food I’ll dismiss as lust

I’ll continue to stretch, pull and wonder
If I’ll ever look like firm, Jane Fonda
If I get discouraged and say, “I’m too pooped,”
I’ll remember the body of Dr. Ruth

I long for courage waiting for a meal
I hear Burger Big-One has a great deal
A double-whammy on an extra large bun
I’ll diet tomorrow – Today I’ll have fun!

Where Were You?

Where were you when Farrah and Michael died?

I remembered fighting through traffic and being startled
by the news on the radio,

At first, they reported that Michael was only unconscious
and that Farrah had taken a turn for the worse,

I looked out my car window and contemplated the heat rising from the
asphalt on a sweltering Summer day,

Somehow, the heat seemed insignificant as I wondered if the radio stations
were spreading propaganda,

In the midst of going to and fro,

A double whammy happened unexpectedly,

They both died...........,

A childhood era had ended and life would never be the same
without the Breck girl flashing her mane,

The King of Pop could never be replaced,

What would happen to music?

It was all too much to embrace,

Where were you when they both died?

Probably like most people, sitting somewhere
stunned, shocked, disillusioned and crying on the inside.

Market Day

Hustle bustle
all the day;
chitter chatter
all the way.

Pitter patter
goes the feet;
credit debit 
watch them fit.

Ponder wonder,
goes the mind;
"holla! did i
make a find?"

Whimmy whammy
swing the gates;
flimmy flammy
"we're in haste!"

Blunder Flounder
through the gates;
helter skelter
what a waste!

Shrapnel of Karma

To the North, South, East, and West...

Geniuses are lost in the jaunty jewels of rakish cads,

The hazard morsel palaver allot odium on idioms...

Rankle virulent mishmash wheeze addle chagrin jives,

Loosing a volley of expletives ordure waft charmed oafs,

Self-iniquity gull maven heresy when blighted wizardry jinxes,

Ticklish cynic infidel swindle dupe cozen duress...

Squall patois and whammy sham schemas wriggle hoaxes,

Charlatans and hoodlums melange to dunce vows,

A shyster unquiet quivers with jester gestures now...

Semi-sacrilege vitiate and endemic jargon raze imps,

This collides as a white energy as dolt hooligan knaves beget...

Colloquial bilge putrefy, the rascals soon flatter us,

Bollix of potpourri lingo wanes to tutelary tongues,

Harlequin coercion argot musical novellas in history,

Pray our shifting shrapnel of karma, varnish boor minds,

Erstwhile, live grenades made of better lives are unvanquished as they are 
thrown by unsung heroes into the North, South, East, and West,...amen...
