Why are you a rhymer? Why always must you rhyme? You write all right But when you write You're rhymin' all the time When did you start rhymin'? Well, when I was kid though sounds absurd I'd hear a word and that's just what I did

Moonlit stroll for leisure
Autumn trees a pleasure
heard an unearthly scream
that old house off grid
a manly fellow came out
know what he did?
he shook with all his might
& said the network's down tonight

Some countries claim these things #arouse
& bring #aphrodisiac #pleasure
#beetles #oysters penis soup
enjoy them at your leisure

I #care not for the taste
the testicles of a bull
so your money you will waste
cause I'll just say I'm full

They stare past their children's faces
no longer recognise
frustration pain anxiety
sadness in their eyes
I pat their hand as I strap them on the lift
reminding me that life's a gift
one day that could be u
slumped over in a chair
& u'll need someone to help u thru
with empathy & #care

I hear birds on the roof
a comforting presence there
for of late I have become aware
of crows
a kindred spirit shared
not noticed until recently
sheer observation's teaching me
a lesson in tenacity
winged wisdom soared with certainty
aim lead you to your ought to be

I hear birds on the roof
so I #crawl out of bed
grab my #silky #deluxe sling shot
and ping their littles heads
they #slide down the eavestroughs
to #ultimate #pleasure
land in the pool and #bathe to their leisure

My whimsy’s gettin’ flimsy
my verve has lost its spark
my mojo is a no go
my passion’s stuck in park
I’m wagin’ It’s the agin’
by noon I start to yawn
no longer play
just sit and say
hey you, get off my lawn.

We need a respite from that libertine
he's far from smooth
demented and mean
unqualified for his station
a threat to the nation
his skin is orangish kinda peach
it's time again to impeach
he rambles on incoherently
boats and sharks & batteries

Words of warning wasted
on a hasty hell~bent heart
reckless it flies
it's eye on the prize
prudence plays no part

I've never seen the moon
been 2 yrs, maybe 3
he locked me in a dungeon
no satellite TV
tempted me with charm
flicked his ash & grabbed my arm
he said, you're my Sweet Pea
& I'm your lovin' hunk
2nd date he roofied me & shoved me in a trunk

‪Why is Mommy moaning
& where did Daddy go
do you think she hit her head
or maybe stubbed her toe
& why was she so frilly all dressed up in lace
& why was Daddy humming w/ a smile on his face
what is all that creaking r they jumping on the bed?

Shut up, said my Brother
they're fucking, Knucklehead

You're the smoldering ash
of the bridges I have burned

You're the lesson in the quest for love
revisited til learned

You're my melancholy memory
that only time can fade

You're the restless reminiscence
of mistakes my heart has made

I pledge you'll be safe with Junior
no first date dashes or opinion clashes
grant you his looks may not tempt
eyes of an insect
unshaven, unkempt
his odour distinct
halitosis is rank
& his old car
ain't up to par
he starts it with a crank

Will Springtime buds bloom anew
yrs rebirth for we 2
Will Summer’s sun warm r hearts
future bright ne’re tear apart
Will Autumns breeze get behind
October stroll hands entwined
Will winter’s fury find u still
stood by my hearth & side
or be wanderlust heed the call
& see u leave here aft the Fall

've never seen the moon
fail to appear
the power in it's keep
assures it's always here

I've never seen the sun
refuse to share it's heat
rises every dawn
a constant there to greet

I've never seen the trees
greedy with their shade
all above are absolutes
Mother Nature made

I've never seen the moon so bright
as it is tonight
saw a face that resembled
an ex not great
no longer associate
power of smitten
ends when bitten
I don't miss going down with that ship
too old for a broken heart
time for a broken hip

I know you know how
little bend, not quite a bow
now stretch out your arms
and next you steady your feet
then put down the toilet seat

Oh to be a bear
hibernate all Winter, cozy in ur lair
Oh to be rich, cocky with ur worth
ur kids would be set by nature of their birth
Oh to be young w/ yrs still to go
no thoughts of mortality time goes by slow
Oh to be contended happy w/ ur lot
no need to envy the things that u aint got

Your subtle mention
grand oasis by the sea
I'm on a pension
not much income here to see

Here are some things you won't know about me
I love to sing, albeit off key
I have a sixth sense I can usually read ya
don't stand still too long or I'll probably feed ya
I need to keep busy I'm rarely lazy
I think sane is boring I much prefer crazy

Dare not we clash
and leave a scar
our web of lies
bears fruit no more
prayed to fate, come sublimate
forgetting just how rough the wait

Monday morning. One hour late
this marriage needs to sublimate
he makes it rough and hard to leave
such an angry web he weaves
a moody bear, won't let me dash
daily squabbles, we curse, we clash
a wasted life as this asshole's wife

Venus asked of Neptune
Why are u so blue
Dare not tell me
tell Mercury, she's innermost to u

I've given Saturn back his rings
his cheatin' caprice is thru
Found he & Mars parked in a car
interstellar whoo hoo
I yelled, It's over, Knucklehead
Then I slapped Mars & she turned red
