To atone for the stench you perceive
dissipates in the air when you leave
make a large warning sign
that might read “It ain’t mine!”
if you feel there’s a chance to deceive.

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're thinking that you can deceive
'cause you've stuffed sev'ral cards up your sleeve
best be careful with betting
or you could be wetting
your pants if you don't quite achieve

When the pants you achieve on the run
in those marathons you feel are fun,
does it mean you’re in shape
from your toes to your nape
without cramps in your brain or each bun?

If your focus remains on your buns
it is nasty when cinnamon runs
down the sides of your hands
and the hot frosting brands
your bare thighs that your girlfriend now shuns

If your girlfriend now shuns your bare thighs
from small burns of a minuscule size;
I’d ask her cute sister
to doctor each blister
for I’m sure something else will arise!

Sitting down to play cards with some guys
is the path to financial demise.
I may play penny ante
where losses are scanty
but avoid that disease in disguise.

If you're facing disease in disguise
then you need to uncover your eyes
face the symptoms head on
that are feasting upon
your insides... or you'll die otherwise!

When you dye, others wiser than you
may advise that you must clean each shoe
long before you begin
or much to your chagrin
you’ll wind up with footwear black and blue.

If your footwear is found black and blue
you may find you've forgotten your shoe
and your poor damaged toes
have betaken the woes
... and they're probably covered with poo!

Probably, if it’s covered with poo,
you have pulled the short stick from the queue
so wipe off your fingers;
although the smell lingers
and then hope better luck will ensue.

If you're hoping that luck will ensue
while you're walking bare-footed through poo
then examine your brain
'cause it's best to refrain
from such mucking, I'd think... and don't you?!

How much longer will this poo endure
in our lim’ricks? I know I’m quite sure
I won’t use rubber boots
to walk where someone poots
although I’ve plowed through lots of manure.

If she plowed only where some man knew 'er
it's likely that he was the poo-er
who mucked up the ground
that she's walked around
in galoshes to make the smells fewer.

To make smells fewer still, I suppose
she’ll start wearing clothes-pins on her nose.
Bright gem-studded with hues
matching purses and shoes
or perhaps some that match her new clothes.

She set off her new clothes with a match
making them all burn up with dispatch
till she had nothing left
to cover her heft
then ran off... and no one tried to catch

No one tries to catch you when you run
for they think that you do it for fun.
They may not understand
that with age, you expand
but you don’t want that growth in each bun.

Buttered buns make you grow in the rear
so you may be found slipping a gear
May be best not to run
Just sit down and have fun
playing cards or board games without fear.

If you fear playing board games or cards
will soon lead to a life that’s in shards;
psychological bent
makes you lose every cent
and most facts are just baseless canards.

It's no baseless canard; it's just facts
Lion finds you alone? it attacks
But one taste of your blood
and his mauling's a flood
of new findings of men: whites or blacks
