Lira Options

[JustDaniel]

When the old car isn't sound
it may be time to go on a careful search
until another is found;
maybe ask for prayer at church
but get busy, or you'll be left in the lurch.

[Larry]

Busy lurching when you left,
you didn’t notice the cops waiting outside
and how they were both so deft
when the handcuffs were applied
or remember when you called your wife and cried.

[JustDaniel]

Remember calling your wife
when you were away on a long business trip
and crying that your sad life
would rather have a round trip
that was over right now so that you could strip?

[Larry]

So that you could strip right now
they put up a curtained area in there
with some help to show you how
it’s easier in the chair
and the camera runs while you are unaware.

[JustDaniel]

Camera in underwear?
Don't you think that sounds a little disgusting?
Who wants to see pubic hair?
It might take some adjusting
also if you want to prevent encrusting.

[Larry]

To prevent your wants in crust
handle the dough as little as possible
so pies will not be a bust
and hard as a big pebble
because holiday pies should be edible.

[JustDaniel]

Edible holiday pies
are best bought at your local grocery store
if you are in the least wise.
Homemade stuff lands on the floor
or has burnt crust or is made from a wiled bore.

[Larry]

Half-burnt crust from a wild boar
is how some people think chit’lins should be made
but getting to the fat’s a chore
because it takes a sharp blade
and I buy mine but have the smoked hams fileted.

[JustDaniel]

If your smoked butt was filleted
by the resident at the local ER
I'm betting it's not displayed
where barbecue superstar
lost focus and sat down near where the flames are.

[Larry]

When you sit down near a flame
you might wind up burning your posterior
or just be making a name
which will be inferior
to the hot pants that covered Daisy Duke’s rear.

[JustDaniel]

Wearing hot pants on your rear
is not unusual in extreme winters;
they help you to persevere.
Some of course become sprinters
but others simply cannot feel the splinters.

[Larry]

Splint hers but simply can’t feel
any pity for that broken leg she got
when she skied that expert hill
and that is what she is not
so pain killers will remind her of that spot.



Thanks Daniel!

[JustDaniel]

so pain killers will follow that bitter pill.

Yours might better (and more properly) have ended with...

"... she's a bitter snot."

[Larry]

Hi Daniel,

You are, of course, correct. Got my rhyme pattern mixed up. I shall amend that but it snot what you suggested.

Larry

[JustDaniel]

Pain killers will remind her
that not everything has to be downhill now
that she's up and does prefer
to stay that way and eat chow;
high on meds and eating, she's become a cow.

[Larry]

She became a cow when meds
caused eating problems and helped her to gain weight
but her shape didn’t turn heads.
I told her it’s not too late
before she gets obese and can’t find a mate.

[JustDaniel]

Before he could find a mate
he found that he needed a captain's license
in order to operate
a fishing boat and commence
developing a business with confidence.

[Larry]

A confidential business
in this age of computers and internet
must be handled with finesse
and secure as you can get
so memorize everything and then you’re set.

[JustDaniel]

To memorize everything
places immense pressure on my weary brain
and very little will cling
to old grey matter again
so I would likely hold myself in disdain.

[Larry]

Disdain in self I would hold
except for a small problem with self esteem
and I should not be so bold
but all my life, it would seem
that my love of learning new things is extreme.
