Wordly Love

Write Wrote Written 
                    Words go on and on 
                     Until the end of time and after 
                       So my heart flees after it 
                         To the depths of thoughts 
                           Further into and unto 
                            The Father of infinite 
                         Where the cool of breeze on my forehead 
                       Gives me the Coolio vibe 
                       Wordster paradise it is .! 
                      Gangs can't beat 
                       Police ain't **** 
                       As I stay unsafe in the safety of words

When In Doubt, Change the Subject

Imagine a woman peeking out from the shower curtain…
   Accompanying captions on the side appear
   “I asked 100 women what shampoo they preferred?
   The #1 answer to my survey was certain, 
   How’n blankety blank did you get in here?”

Managed perception creates confusion;
the picture plays a neat trick on the brain.
There was no survey, just a joke that's offbeat.
The words and the wordster are in collusion 
like men who have an image to maintain.

What appeals to men is her ballyhoo.
Are they looking for shock, dismay or fear?
In the photo, she's a picture of "discreet".
"Survey" has nothing to do with shampoo,
when in doubt, turn his question on its ear -

"Why do they put directions on shampoo bottles?”
