If you're screwed to the place where you dwell,
without showering, soon you will smell
like the spot where you stoop
to let out all that poop
that you're full of to think all is well.

full of oneself, and all is quiet well
delayed is expedition to hell
you'll live some more life
without trouble or strife
then go quietly when you hear the bell

If you're going when you hear the bell,
wipe it quickly ere leaving your cell
or the jailor may bark
and won't tolerate snark,
so behave, or you'll soon hear him yell.

Stir beehives and you'll hear him yell soon
when he's stung, it's a whole other tune
than the one he was singing
when he was branch-swinging
and trying to hit a raccoon.

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.

he's trying to evade a monsoon
due to hit him by round about noon
but there's limited choice
so you better rejoice
but not if your choice is balloon

Chase balloons if your knot isn't tight
and you'll be out of breath, but you might
put a pill in each one
before you have begun
so your animal stays up all night.

it is best that you stay our of sight
'til the sun licks the earth

so your day starts with nary a bite.

If your day starts with nary a bite
and you're casting with all of your might
maybe you should rethink
and just let the line sink
underneath your boat where there's no light.

'neath your boat I can't see any light --
upside down, and I'm here out of sight.
I can't lift the thing off;
if I die, will you scoff
me as being a barnacled blight?

If your barn is cold; blighted by mice
I would say, "Fix it up"! in a trice
for the kids like to play
in the sweet smelling hay
without rodents who share fleas and lice.

all these rodents who share fleas and lice
can be evicted in just a trice
so throw shoes and socks
some stones and big rocks
a direct hit would be really gneiss

Would real igneous hits be direct
or is roll added in to affect
some response from a crowd
when you’re not very loud
and the music you play’s circumspect.

Is the music you play circumspect?
Are you watching a Bris with respect?
Sing a round with your kin,
tossing out the foreskin;
everyone stay around and reflect.

Every round stay reflects on someone
when D.I.'s inspect them and your gun
so they both should be shiny
or he'll have your hiney
to kick on the ten miles you'll run.

At the end of ten miles do you kick
into high gear, or do muscles stick
where they are, so you can't
do a thing now but pant?
... and you feel you're about to be sick?

When about, if you're sick you will feel
that your world is beginning to reel
and that pain in your gut
may descend to your butt
so be careful from which end you spill.

So you're careful from which end you spill?
Do you do it by taking some pill?
or do you sit around
keeping close to the ground
to find holes you can easily fill?

You can easily fill holes you find
with the dirt someone else leaves behind
but before you begin
I'll tell you, "You can't win!"
Holes are everywhere earthworms have dined

But where earthworms dine, they always poop,
so the dirt where they've been, you can scoop
up to fertilize with,
and it's not a myth
that you'll prosper in your garden group.

If you’re guarding a prosperous group
when they take a sea cruise on a sloop.
They’ll get drunk and act strange
so you don’t know the range
or what decadent depths they will stoop.
