[JustDaniel]

I am glad you've not given me hives;
I'm allergic to bees; that revives
if they sting me again;
I don't swat at them; I keep away
from undue aggravation; they stay
in their province. Amen!

[Larry]

In the province of men there’s a cave
where the world of sports made them a slave.
That is easily seen.
Food and beer in the fridge which they crave
and a john when they’re wanting to shave,
with a large T V screen.

[JustDaniel]

There's a large TV screen in my room
where I live while at home, in my womb;
it is blaring right now
'cause I'm half-deaf; it's in the background
while I sit here and write to confound
you with something to plow.

[Larry]

Things to plow with my brow furrowed deep
which plant seeds that one needs and will keep
me inspired, not confound
can be found in the sound of each word
some in fun; hardly ever absurd.
Glad to have you around.

[JustDaniel]

Glad we're here having still one more round
while the others up there now abound...
and they're writing each day!
Not too long ago, I said to post
something there... and you'll soon be the toast
of the site. Patience pays!

[Larry]

Patience pays but in what sort of coin
'cause I'm not really sure that we're goin'
to be blessed with success.
That, in time, will be shown when those few
who have joined us are no longer new
and get more; please, not less.

[JustDaniel]

A few more, more or less, sure would please
all of us, and I'm sure they will tease
your old muse to create.
We have prodded each other down here;
that they'll do it up there, I've no fear.
Hope it will not abate.

[Larry]

Hope the bait which was cast will suffice
for it seems to have caught lots of nice
people who spin the word
into tapestries easy on eyes.
We’ll stay open if everyone tries
to attract that rare bird.

[JustDaniel]

If the bird that you cook is still rare
better open the oven; it's there
that the turkey belongs
for more time so you'll turn what is red
to a dark, tasty color... no dread
that you'd kill off the throng.

[Larry]

If you killed off the throng with your food
that would be just a tad beyond rude
when you didn’t take care
to make sure little microbes were dead.
You’ll wind up in a cell with one bed
and your goose is cooked there.

[JustDaniel]

Don't be cooking your goose in a Turk!
You can bet that it takes too much work
just to bind and gag
Muslim fam'ly that moved in next door;
don't be racist, my friend; I implore
you to open that bag!

[Larry]

If you open that bag you will find
the remains of a lunch left behind
which exudes quite a smell
from a sandwich that’s built of some cheese
and anchovies; you may gag and sneeze
but at least it’s not stale.

[JustDaniel]

If the bread were not stale would the smell
be less rancid? Can't un-ring a bell!
It's strange how you think!
Smelly's smelly... especially fish,
and a bag of it really is ish;
what a horrible stink!

[Larry]

Stinks are horrible but there’s a scale
between fish and a skunk’s toxic smell
which will never wash off
but the homeless, where hunger’s their due
and some leftovers which they eschew,
hold their nose and don’t scoff.

[JustDaniel]

Those who look down their nose at the poor
could well soon have their son at the door
begging money or food
after downing their pills or is drunk,
lost his job or his wife or is sunk
or just did what ain't good.

[Larry]

If he did what ain’t good then it’s just
that he gets his self caught in a bust
and then thrown into jail
for the lessons unlearned in his youth
will hit home as the God’s honest truth;
don’t you dare go his bail.

[JustDaniel]

You might tell him, I'll bail you out once,
but remember that I'm not a dunce;
you must learn from this.
If you end up in jail once again
I will visit you there with great pain
and a goodbye kiss.

[Larry]

With a goodbye kiss and a quick pat
on the butt to remind him of that
danger while he’s in there
'cause some lifers look for the new meat
so when showering, please take a seat
and soap down in a chair.

[JustDaniel]

Don't use soap while you're cleaning your hair;
it will flatten it down. Folks will stare
at your matted mess.
Use shampoo and conditioner too;
it will loosen the gunk and the goo.
My advice you'll bless.

[Larry]

When you’re blessed with advice you may choose
which might work and which ones you will use
if you trust those who give
but with all things, that shadow of doubt
makes you wonder what it’s all about
and winnow with a sieve.
