Halloween Poetry:  "The Devil Lives..."

                                

                                The Devil lives and Evil dwells

                                In all our hearts

                                I'm sure Dr. Frankenstein is not the only one

                                Using stolen body parts

                                 "Hellraiser's" Pinhead says,

                                "We'll tear your soul apart."

                                  To be in Hell is

                                  About as bad as retrieving shopping carts...

                                Possible work in progress:

                               To be unclean, on Hallowe'en

                               Is asking for kids to be real mean.

                               They'll egg your car

                               Then run real far

                               And shatter windows with a candy bar...

                            "If it has..."

                        If it has a mouth it can eat,

                        So be swift on your feet.

                        If it has teeth it can bite

                        In the dark of the night,

                        So run with all of your might.

                        If it can bite it can kill,

                        And your blood it may spill.

                        If it has talons 

                        It can spill blood by the gallons

                        If ye have a gun or knife

                        You'll save your wife

                        Or save your life.

                        With feral beasts the forest's rife.

Poetry:  "Put a Stop to Corporate Greed"

                There shouldn't even be a fee

                There's no doubt it should be free

                You better pay heed

                To put a stop to corporate greed...

                "Everyone's Expendable"

                 Everyone's expendable

                 So breakable and bendable

                 It really is commendable

                 That legacies seem never-endable.

              "Stream of Consciousness"

               We travel through time.

                And we don't spend one lousy dime.

                The world is so sublime.

                Cards of Tarot, Clarence Darrow

                Broken, Dead or Dying sparrow

                Predict tomorrow

                 A world of sorrow

                 No more money left to borrow...

Poetry:  "Everyone's Got A.D.D."

                 Everyone's go A.D.D

                 They cannot read or write

                 More oft than not, for job interviews

                 They'll never get invited

                 Our public education system ought to be indicted.

                     Everyone's got A.D.D.

                     They cannot learn a thing

                     Many do find other ways to pay for all their  'bling'...

               "Living Will"

           Congress they did file a bill

           To nullify her Living Will

           Make sure you sign your Living Will

           Ere your fate's decided on Capitol Hill...

         Don't go to war.

         Never mind esprit de corps.

         While you fight with all your might

         Adrenaline you may feel.

         In intermittent time you'll be quite bored

         Waiting in a field...

Poetry:  "Throw in the Trowel"

                Throw in the trowel

                Sell the farm

                Pesticides do too much harm.

                Fruits and veggies, flowers and trees

                Where are all the honey bees?

                Are the buzzing bees alive?

                 There's no activity in the hive...

             When hair starts to fall out

              From nuclear fallout

              At least ye don't have HIV...

Poetry:   Untitled

               As my inbox fills with spam

               I click on another scam

               I find myself swear, "Goddamn"

Poetry

Poetry: "Friends and Foes"

             You can never have too many friends or too few foes

             It's time to change the status quo

             If trends recur there'll be much woe

             Thank God Bush is about to go

             With Bush's term about to end

             His policies we need to mend

             Though we no longer have the dough

             End the war but take things slow...

           

Subversive Poetry: "Off Like a Prom Dress"

Poetry: "Off Like a Prom Dress"

Off like a prom dress

On goes the light

If her father, brother caught you

There sure would be a fight

Put on your clothing

Run for your life

Flee from the shotgun or stiletto knife.

Poetry:  "Wintertime Memories"   [Wintertime weather is already here. It's so close to winter it's scary. (Poem written on behalf of a Red Hat Society member.]

           We all gripe about the cold

           As we're getting  "so old"

           But, with fondness I'm told:

           Do you recall snowballs and

           Snowmen and skiing and sledding?

           And skating on ice was once so very nice.

           And on weekends we'd be sledding.

           When winter was over (in youth) you were dreading.

           Now Global Warming is where we are heading.

Subversive Poetry: "Thugs on Drugs"

Poetry:   "Thugs on Drugs"

                 A group of thugs

                 All hooked on drugs

                 Knocked over a store

                 Lookin' to score

                 Some were too high

                 And their plans went awry

                 When a copter from the sky

                 Alerted the cops

                 Determined to stop their crime

                 None of them wanted to do no time

                 So guns were drawn

                 When they stepped on the lawn

                 Flying lead

                 Meant many fell dead

                 One got away

                 But, a year to the day

                 While wearing a truss

                 He got hit by a bus...

Poetry:       "My Class Clown"

                  

                     I'm proud of my class clown.

                    Although his grades are way down.

                    In his soup he nearly drowned.

                    Makes his elders often frown.

                    Pointed out stains on his teacher's gown.

                    She wants to run him out of town.

                 Maybe it's better.

                 Maybe it ain't

                 Your dream'(s) been dashed like a bucket of paint...

                  "Katherine Harris"

                  Thanks to that Floridian whore

                  We got George [W] Bush instead of Al Gore.

                   Now noone's there to help the poor.

                  'Cuz Bush is rotten to the core...

                 "On the Lam"

                  On the lam I run away

                  To keep me free another day

                  I fled the yard the first of May.

                 The warden vowed I now must pay

                  The only way I'll stay away

                  Perhaps I'll have to pray or prey...

                 A guy from Roma

                 Sal Damona

                 Lay in the sun

                 Got melanoma

                 Then smoked and drank into a coma...

                 "Immor(t)ality"

                  Good thing the Immortal

                  Are not the Immoral!

                   Death, disease, pestilence, wars,

                  Poverty, injustice...

          

Subversive Poetry

Poetry: "Criminal Injustice"

                On the walls the blood was smeared

                The one who did it was widely feared

                At his victims he would leer,

                While getting drunk with many beers

                 At his arrest he shed no tears

                 His lawyer got him in the clear.

               "The Conservative Point of View"

       

                 With the conservative point of view

                 The rich get richer and the poor get screwed.

                 When the tax bill comes due

                  The Super-Affluent don't feel the blues,

                  While poorer folks will rue over auditing news...

                         Attire afire

                         Things are getting kind of dire

                         Skin is singed

                         A blackish tinge

                         Hair's all aflame

                         A hellish endgame...

                     "Liquor on your Breath"

                      I smell liquor on your breath

                      Whether Johnny, Jane or Beth

                      In the morn' you'll feel like death

                      At least your not on crystal meth

                                   An insidious threat

                                   Put us all into debt

                                   There's a huge need to fret

                                   When you settle for what you get

                                    Your tears are still wet

                                      Air pollution in the sky

Poetry: "T&A or T.L.C."

                T&A or T.L.C.

                Guys oft make the choice.

                A kiss or a kick?

                A hug or a drug?

                Dynomite or TNT?

                Which would ye choose?

                Most guys prefer T&A

               At night or in the day

               Either way with a nurse you can't lose

               Which to many, is very good news

               With a nurse you can have both

               Better ride on your horse

               You can do a lot worse... (tbc?)

               What point is there to go to church 

                If God does not exist?

                Tell this to the devout

                They'll say, "Cease and desist".

                Or maybe strike ye with their fist

                Or put you on an Inquisition list...

Poetry:    "Don't Get Caught..."

                       

                    Do your worst, but don't get caught

                    But in Malaysia you'll get shot

                    Or in a jail you'll truly rot...

                   Untitled

                  Tribal police searched for her niece

                  Luckily she wore a fleece

                  She was slain by a teenaged beast

                  Will we ever get some peace?

                   "Charge No Fee"

                It's ridiculous to charge a fee

                There's no doubt it should be free

                They charge so much I'd like to flee

                 I can't afford a shopping spree

                Or an Aspen place I'd like to ski

                Next they'll cut down all the trees

                And put up condos, no room for ye

                They're pesticides will kill the bees

                Resistance is the only key

                Not praying to the Holy See...

                     Fools they still believe his lies...

               "WWTJD?" or "What Would Thomas Jefferson Do?"

                 Save the Constitution

                 For the Bill of Rights we need to fight

                 Ere Bush does it in with his Right-Wing judges,

                 Who will not budge with their backwards-thinking views

                 Stacking the courts while blood and oil spills in quarts

                 And our rights they will abort

                 As government coffers grow quite short

                We hear bad tidings on the news

                And poorer people feel the blues...

              My favorite colors are blue and blonde

              Tropic island full of fronds

              Of brunettes I'm also fond

              Fish and frogs within a pond

              I could do one or two or quite a few

              Salmonella's in the stew...

               God is a Global Terrorist.

               His latest attack on mankind: Tsunamis

               Devastating the lives of legions of innocent, helpless people of all walks of life

               Taking away their homes and property

               Making many starve and spreading malnutrition and disease

               Like an anthill disturbed by a gardeners sharp spade

               I suppose we are their [the ants] cruel God

              Or a Feral Father's casually cruel abuse

              If God wills this, what is His rationale?
