Premium Member East Hollywood Bus Stop, 1977

A bus stop and a savage brute
all sewed up in a lion suit.
"Did you ever find where the Oz Wizard was?
(The lion-man belched a cloud of fuzz)
and those three ne'er-do-wells and that?"
He just said, "why'd ya think I'm fat?"

Premium Member Friendships Do Flourish


Well cross my eyes and call me Lucy
Met the sweetest lady of the group
She turns my crank, gets my motor a-racing
For poetry I don't give a poop

Should rename the site “Meet A Sweetie”
More appropriate don't ya think
This real cutie's on my mind the whole day
From her cup of nectar I drink

Age doesn't matter when it's a fantasy affair
Thirty years don't mean a thing
As long as our cravings are satisfied each day
The world continues to sing

Met a great big bunch of sweet ladies here
Not enough digits to count 'em
All I can say is my whole life's enriched
Each of these darlings is a gem

So this is my way of thanking youse guys
Where our creativity is nourished
Making all our lives a lot more worth living
Allowing friendships to flourish

Yuck all this and a tebow full of ketchup

Be honest with yourself you know you want this menu
Come on man sit down and order your some
Get you some of them fried onions
Huh!
Yum!

Joke of the Day

Did you think you had control
Did you think you had control,
Ha, ha!
Did ya think you had control?
Did you think you had control
Ha, Ha!

You cast yourself a god
In a solo one-act play
You wrote the narrative
To play the hero of the day

Did you think… (repeat)

Now a plague is on the land
From a foe you couldn’t see
It blunts your livelihood
And deadens your family

The meek, they shall inherit
But what is it they crave?
We closed our eyes to dream
And woke up in a cave

We closed our eyes to dream
Just to wake up in a cave

Did you think you had control?
Did you think you had control,
Ha, ha!
Did ya think you had control?
Did you think you had control
Ha, Ha!

The Oyster Speaks Up

A diner sits down
looking forward
to eating oysters

it was their season
after all

just as he was about
to pounce 
on the oysters

the head oyster spoke up
saying 

hey human what the hell
do you think you are doing

you think you have the right
to eat me?

that’s violating my human right
don’t ya think

the diner laughed
said to the oyster

shut up and accept 
it is your fate
to be eaten this date
just let me enjoy eating you

and you have no human rights
as you are in fact
not human don’t ya know

eating the complaining oyster
shutting him up 
as he ate him up

Premium Member Tip Top Shape

Grabbing hold of my life at this very late stage
About time don't ya think, I'm on the last page
As the numbers suggest
But got lotsa years left
Forever in great shape, if that's any gauge

Premium Member Insatiable Craving

Your aroma
wonderful, aromatic scent
you tease my senses
I'm falling.

Your warmth flowing 
ignites anticipation 
Insatiable cravings
arousing my hunger, my thrist.

Sweet caress
tantalizingly,  mouth watering
deliriously mad sweet ecstasy 
first morning coffee

Geeeeez.... what ya think I meant?

From An Alabama Voter To Donald Trump

Said Forrest Gump
To Donald Trump:
"Do ya think I'm a chump?
Crazy is as crazy does
I'd never vote for such a scuzz"

Today I Planted Lavender

Today I planted lavender 
 Not waiting for official news 
 Spring has sprung inside my head, and so
 I plan to plant, refresh, renew
 Ignore the forecast on Global News
 Gather those buds, time will connive 
 To wither them soon enough, ya think...alive!

 It is easy to start, get distracted, put off
 Second guess, other people know best
 But be my guest~ Breathe in the purity,
 Life anew, sunny skies, fresh dirt
 As I brush the residue off my skirt
 I meant it friends, warm weather is here to stay
 I've even put winters clothes away.

 No April showers dull my glee
 Spring is short~ that's old history, and yet
 As I caress each perfect leaf, eager to feel sunshine sweet
 I am convinced that I can squeeze
 The lemonade of springtime, get a jump
 On my wintry world~extend the time, so
 Hold this potted plant for me. 
 Hold it like an offering.
