When you feel that your aim is top-notch
so there’s no need in grabbing your crotch
to snow-write when you pee
in fine calligraphy
or proof-read for there’s none who will watch.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy



Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers.

If you constantly peer at your watch
while you're paying for groceries with cash
you'd best care for your wallet
or a thief may befall it
and your carefulness notches a blotch.

Notch a blotch? I’m not sure what you mean
for the way that I pay’s never green.
Encrypted debit cards
keep me safe from retards
and the bank keeps my credit score clean.

It's important to have a clean score
and perhaps at 800 or more
But if you have poor credit
do things that will edit:
pay bills 'til you feel like you're poor

I have felt like I’m poor for so long
that there’s not a lot more to go wrong.
Scrimped and saved for good clothes
but the tax-man took those
and I’m left with flip flops and a thong.

Don't go wearing that thong in a throng
or you'll soon find how things could go wrong
They'll throw you in jail
and then refuse bail
and your stay there they well may prolong

If prolonging my stay in the jail
I would hope that my lawyer compel
them to bring me some clothes
and perhaps, I suppose
a gas mask that will lessen the smell.

If you don't want to add to the smell
take a shower and clean yourself well
Do remember that beans
make you fart and mess jeans
But of course, always tidy your cell

Tidy cells are what scientists need
when they’re fighting disease. To succeed
never trust Chinese labs
or you’ll wind up on slabs
due to them or some big Pharma’s greed.

who show little care for the farmer
who grows us the grain

When they garner their power and wealth,
whether it is overt or by stealth;
do they think crypt or grave
is sufficient to save
all they’ve made or ensure their soul’s health?

highest premium they can endure –
to stay hopefully well
all disease to expel

If Kuala Lumpur was my move
would the folks who live there disapprove
of my country-boy charm
and would wish me some harm;
I would rather reside at the Louvre.

If you're planning to camp at the Louvre
you had better your French to improve
Your horrible Spanish
is likely to vanish
but before long, your tent they'll remove.

If the Gendarmes try wrecking my camp
I’ve erected beside a street lamp
where the homeless can park
to stay out of the dark
I’ll show them Passports’ visitors stamp.

If the visitor's stamp on their passport
is a fraud sticking out like an ass-wart
they may get a free ride
to a place that's outside
of our border... Yes, we may deport!

Yes, we should have deported the masses.
It’s too late! We’re now up to our asses.
Still, the Democrats try
“legalize – codify”
and they will if this Senate bill passes.

Are the senators passing their bill
merely ducks there dispensing their swill?
Let their webbed feet go back
to the pond where they quack
and then fly off to live in Brazil

If some Senators moved to Brazil;
Democrats and their ilk, a good deal.
There, the laws they enact
would be cause for attack
and their fate would be great, blood would spill.

A slight blood-loss may well be my fate
while replacing my knee. I will wait
until early July
'cause I'm not all that spry
and I've started to disintegrate
