She stepped in a bucket of sleaze
and sank in it up to her knees.
She's stuck there to stay
because that same day,
a witch made that sleazy mess freeze.

I carved that old witch in a frieze
then transferred her there, if you please
with magic and trance,
then after a dance
I burned it and watched its nose sneeze.

QUOTE (heartsong7 @ July 15 2004, 16:47)
Charlie took a young lady to dine
at a place he considered quite fine
She couldn't be pleased,
complaints never eased,
so he offered some cheese with her whine.

She served up sour whine with her sleaze
... would spread all the gossip she'd please;
if I had let her stay
she'd  have soon had the sway,
but I chucked her.  She was a disease.

the Witch of the West was knocked out.
Dot took her red shoes
and all her best booze
then watched them all party and shout.

Her watch starts to party and shout;
when I scold her... Good grief, what a pout!
Turn off the alarm!
Such wake-ups do harm
to class-napping.  What's that about?

Ms Johnson is napping in class
and dreams that she's rolling in grass
with Principal Pete
On whom she is sweet.
She wakes when he taps on her---glass.  ;)

It's Taps if he wakes on that lass;
her beau's known for puffin' on grass,
but when he isn't high
he ain't such a nice guy.
What he'd do to that soldier is crass.

What he'd do to that grass is quite cruel
if he ain't gonna cut it, my rule:
Don't mow when it's wet
or else you will get
a bill for a fancy new pool!

When Bill filled his fancy and lied,
Hillery stayed by his side.
When she's President
He'll be the first gent,
if she lets him on for the ride

If she lets him on for the ride
it could add more than cubs to his pride...
like a fissure or two
that bleeds red, white and blue...
but in plastic that Billy-boy dyed.

The plastic reactions of Bill,
were making her shriller until.
He saw very well
a cold day in hell,
if ever he's over that Hill

Where there's a Will, he's aweigh

His fever seems over the hill;
he'll prove it ere long, get his fill
'cause crisis mid-life
is hard on the wife
but sense about that just ain't Will



Light 'n' wry if I mayo, Daniel  sun.gif

Will's sense came from a red and white pill
had to find a new way for his thrill
that crisis mid-life
so affected his wife
he has a new girl, her name is Jill

Mahaps that's another guy 'Will'
The one I knows ain't inta that thrill!
I's made errors afore;
I ain't one ta ignore
that I's got a lot more in me still.

A bite where it hurts must be worse,
than a poet who runs out of verse.
So get that tooth done -
hurry back to the fun
in these Musings profound and diverse

Since I unhooked de train, will ya curse
my starting anew
because of so few
who joined in?  Will my fate be worse? ghostface.gif

It appears I've preceded a curse
that has followed me here... perhaps worse
than at first I had feared,
so must I now be geared
to silence my Light-hearted verse?

Sometimes when we've taken ourselves
un-seriously, there's someone who delves
to find how we tick
while seeming to flick
frivolity right off our shelves.

Wherever I go, I will write
my feelings and thoughts, howe'er trite,
and still try to shine
while staying in line
as best as I can, come what might.

sLightly dimmed, Daniel  :wave:
