Where the toilets are clean and upbeat
there’s no urinals there to compete
with nice privacy stalls
for the folks with no balls
making sure that their makeup’s complete.

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.

While his Lady's completing her powder
husband's laboring making a chowder
for his dinner for two
'cause he isn't a shrew
and he leaves her alone, not to crowd 'er

She’s not crowded and never alone
for she found out she’s pregnancy prone
and her husband’s fish chowder
just makes her yell louder…
more children she doesn’t condone.

If more children she doesn't condone
then she'd best stay away from his bone
It won't help if she's yelling,
and no way of telling
if pregnancy comes with just ONE!

When a pregnancy starts with just one
romp in bed don’t believe that you’re done.
You both now can employ
all the tools you enjoy
just as long as you’re not poking fun.

You'll be done poking fun at the bees
when they come at you like a stiff breeze
stinging you in the face
and all over the place
'til you're praying aloud on your knees

If you’re praying aloud on your knees
are you hoping that everyone sees
just how pious you look;
I’d suggest read the book
where you now emulate Pharisees

If you're worried that some faery sees
that your stung ass now prays on his knees
then call out to the gnomes
who'll come out of their homes
and will scare off the faery with bees

If the fairies use bees just to scare,
I am sure that they all are aware
mine are Africanized
and a bit oversized
who will pierce anything fairies wear.

If your eyes pierce what faeries are wearing
if they notice, they soon will be swearing
Don't forget they enchant
If they do you, you can't
get away... and you may lose your bearings

If you’re losing your bearings today
as you drive on the GPS way;
garbage in… garbage out
for there’s hardly a doubt
that the programmers wanted to play.

If programmers screw up your device
learning maps is my only advice
or just buy a new phone
or you'll be all alone
on some road that is covered with ice

When some snow and ice covers the road
while you bring groceries to your abode,
take that pie that’s dessert
and I doubt it would hurt
if you made snow ice cream ala mode.

If it's ala mode ice cream you like
best not eat apple pie on the pike
'cause the traffic will throw
dirt and mud to and fro
on you food and your car. Then you'll hike.

When I hike, there’s no food in my car
and on wilderness trails don’t stray far.
That’s where some hungry bear
smells a snack you should share;
opening your four-wheeled mason jar.

If your old Mason jars have four wheels
your hallucinogenic appeals
to the spirits you've raised
maybe should be appraised?
Get some rest and have three balanced meals.

If you want to eat well balanced meals
pick the food and dessert that fulfills
the new diet you’ve tried
where each bite has been fried
and weight loss equals whatever spills.

If you only eat things that they spill
you'll be eating a diet of swill
but you'll likely lose weight
and you seldom will sate
your hunger, but do as you will.

When I’m hungry, I do as I will
because I’m the one paying the bill.
I enjoy the food
and try not to be rude
but when service is bad, tips are nil.

Who would tip if the service is bad?
Who'd be happy if they've hardly had
a positive word
from that waitress turd.
I'd bet, though, that she will be mad.
