The Love Shock Test

why seek true love 
when even the truest love is fleeting
the thing you should desire is 
for lasting love to transpire 
take my hand and hold your breath
this is a love test
do you have a single doubt
about how it will turn out
are you afraid they will leave
and how you could possibly grieve
worry no more the stress will disappear
and just send this to your sweet dear
because it's over they never really let you near
it is fact they are being clear they don't want you here
take your love and disappear don't live in fear

Somewhat Injury-Prone

First grade, pelted with eggs
  Second grade, broke both legs
Third grade, fell down the stairs
  Fourth grade, clawed by a bear

Fifth grade, ran into a tree
  Sixth grade, twisted a knee
Seventh grade, concussed my head
  Eighth grade, fell out of bed

Ninth grade, had meningitis  
  Tenth grade, appendicitis
Eleventh grade, torn hamstring
  Twelfth grade, acute bee sting...

So, to allay any fears from admission committees
  I wrote the following college application ditty:

You may consider me somewhat injury-prone
  But I have yet to break my first wishbone
And I give you my whole-hearted assurance
  That I will use my parents' health insurance

Walk

A bulging extremity,

a feminist integrity,

a swaggering centipede,

the cops arresting me,

my dick the right size,

the bang coming out of your eye's,

the sensitivity upon demise,

the dew and dripping from the sky's,

the eagerness of eloping,

the magnitude of doping,

the honesty of groping,

scattering scorpions glowing and scoping.

Let's Hear It

During my time at high school
I never once broke any rule
I was quiet and shy
Didn’t flirt with a guy
Even if I thought he was cool
 
 
I was never ever great at sport
Even though it was subject taught
I was so very short
That on the netball court
I couldn’t reach the hoop and scored naught!

At college I met a cute guy
Both of us were terribly shy
We went out to a gig
But he lit up a cig
I hate smoking - I wanted to cry!

Kids Growing Up

Their needs need addressing,
In the morning when they're dressing,
Brush their hair, clean their teeth,
Whenever will I get relief,
When they're older it'll be a blessing.

Ode To a Gym Teacher

Ode To A Gym Teacher

Amid brassiere and derrière
She strives to put her clothes on.
Her panties there, stockings here 
The rest of it, she throws on.

At the mirror, shining bright
She struggles with her powder.
She holds her place with main and might
As others try to crowd her.

How can she dress so nimbly 
In but five minutes of an hour?
The question’s answered simply:
She did not take a shower.

She Is Chiclet Perfection

There is nothing better than seeing that smile!
       Her crinkled nose and effortless style
             Chiclet perfect and care free
                   The best way to be
                           Angelic
                              She
                       With her clique 
                  They just walk by me
              It appears I'm hard to see
       Still I choose to stick around a while
There is nothing better than seeing that smile!



A school boy's nightmare, occupying the space outside the friend zone.

Teenage Years

In a long ago day no term such as teenager 
was inferred
Upon reaching pubescence adulthood was 
conferred
No separate entity were teenage years 
thought to be
Anymore than 20 or 30 even 93
The business of giving separate age a place 
on life's map
Has turned out to be nothing but a load 
of crap
"I'm a teenager" they will wail and whine
Implying "your life is less valuable than 
mine"
"I'm your replacement" is what they're 
trying to say
But they should at their feet what's crawling 
on the floor  
Their own replacements will be ready a couple
years or more

He Was Both the Dope and the Hero

Doping confessing by  Lance Armstrong

Why tell the truth, when a lie can set you free
The sympathy card,  the court jester: with slumbering tears
The windows wipers wipe the milky tears from his eyes.
He compete, and achieves victory  through deceit

Does a hero cheat, his way to victory?

 A hero was never label a bully throughout history
Spiderman, superman , Robin Hood 
   heroes never confessed their sins
The incredible hulk did a powerful transformation 
Restoring international credibility in prime time; 
                       Time after time
A myth is a myth even in the past, present and future.

Two Wailing Babies

So delicious my baby's right cheek
looked
to his brother

Of course he took a hard bite
on that
soft sweet sight

His cruel curiosity was confused,
amused
it's too easy to hurt

My baby threw a wail mile high
his brother
jumped...a fearful cry.

Growing Up Catholic

life's many theories
may cause many worries

is there a god?
is it a fraud?

am I going to burn in hell?
since my chocolate bars won't sell

Boys

Running
Leaping
Spinning 
Crashing
Running, leaping, wild,
Like a blur, my spinning, crashing, child.

Teen Spirit, a Tanka

smells like teen spirit
the impulse and ammonia
lynx and mary jane
heated hormone heavy air

How Could I Resist This Challenge

Little Susie had peed her new pants
Such an unfortunate circumstance
In front of her mother
She blushed a red colour …
then invented the wet knickers dance!




I used the poetry soup word generator and it came up with the word  ‘urination’ … now how could I resist THAT challenge!!!

(In the UK pants and knickers are what are known as panties in the US)

Grandparents

Grandparents.

Many, many years ago
when grannies were little girls.
They had very long hair with polka-dot ribbons
entwined around their curls.
And granddads played with catapults and different
wooden toys.
They were full of mischief and curious little boys.
They learn to climb the tallest trees
and tease the little girls.
And pull their polka-dot ribbons out
and mess up all their curls.
Then they grew up and fell in-love
that's when their lives began to change.
They'd act daft with lovey stuff
which some girls found very strange.
Lives tapestry exchanges their struggles
to survive.
The best memories are those of my grandparents 
and the changes in their lives.

My Father Used To Say

MY FATHER USED TO SAY.......

My father used to say...
"Don't come back if you drown!"
He often acted the clown...
My endearing mum used to say..
"They'll come home in time for tea,
Wait and see.."
My Father used to say...
"Kids come home when they're hungry!
Now don't come back if you drown...."
My Father was always playing the clown..
River of time, all water under the bridge,
Time and the river, flowing away. 
Things my Father used to say.

Exam Revision

A constant murmur,
with bickering voices
and occasional shriek of glee.
All when I'm trying to revise,
down in the library.

Bad Kids

Little Joyce Ann and her friend Glenn
decided to play a trick one day
They took a rope and each grabbed an end,
then laid it across the alleyway

They hid in the bushes on each side
and waited for just the right time
One on the left and one on the right 
waiting patiently for him to come by

Then came Little Johnny on his bike,
riding without a care
Right on time they snatched the rope tight
and flipped Little Johnny up in the air
