You can see I am still in pain;
Every poem seems to have this refrain.
But when it is done,
I'll focus on fun,
And my life wil begin again!
--- Maggie

Whether low or high I.Q. you've got,
When with love of someone BESOT,
What you entertain,
Short-circuits the brain,
And comes from inferior spot.
--- Chris Papa

If with love or drink you're BESOT,
You've no other path to be thought;
Just in stupor wallow
And silly pride swallow,
Till morning's sanity be sought.
--- Chris Papa

The foolish remark is the BETISE;
It's a stupidity, if you please.
However, of course,
From that end of a horse,
There's a reason for smells in the breeze.
--- Daniel Ford

The BETISE Of Barney the Boor
Was more than most folks could endure.
He sniff the perfume
As wife entered the room,
And declared it was eau de manure.
--- Chris Papa

The monarch, BETWIXT and between
His concubine fair and his queen,
Was satified both
In bed and in troth --
The details are somewhat obscene.
--- Nick

We all ask just what life may mean,
Before birth, forget gamete scene.
And after, who knows,
Where mortal spark goes.
So we ken BETWIXT and between.
--- Chris Papa

As a collector of stuffed Teddy Bears,
I have critters in beds and on chairs.
This BEVY of mine
Won't complain or whine!
They occasionally shed a few hairs.
--- Maggie

No interest have I in real quail,
But BEVY of beauties ne'er fail,
To up and excite
This man's apetite;
There's something'bout both "birds" and "tail".
--- Chris Papa

A cluster of parts is a Chevy,
And a bunch of big weights is a heavy.
General Custer's last cluster
Could be called a bust muster,
And a gaggle of girls is a BEVY.
--- Eva Amata

A collection of birds is a BEVY,
Perhaps winging their way to a levee,
Where they will explore
French kissing and more,
In the back seat of a black Chevy.
--- Daniel Ford

I don't think those "birds" have wings;
'Tis of English dolls that he sings.
But perhaps that BEVY
Won't neck in a Chevy,
In Rolls-Royce they'll find their young kings.
--- Chris Papa

French kissing they do, I suppose.
They know how to spoon with their beaux.
And will employ tricks
For their Toms and Dicks
To make sure their latter bunch grows.
--- Chris Papa

Louanne is quite pert and vivacious;
She's also exceedingly curvaceous;
The guys buy her gin
Encouraging sin,
Well knowing she's especially BIBACIOUS.
--- Bob Dvorak

Oh my goodness gracious!
Me? Become a wee bit BIBACIOUS?
Well let me tell you,
A glass of good wine or two,
Then my verse is a wee bit salacious!
--- Barb

Excessive love for drink, BIBACIOUS,
Does cause some folks to be flirtacious.
While othere become
Rather more tiresome,
When lost control makes them loquacious.
--- Daniel Ford

BIBACIOUS tipper grew old
And noted his proboscis bold,
Misshapen and red
With blood vessels fed.
Distorted, had grown uncontrolled.
--- Chris Papa

It wasn't just boozin' and fun
Left his physiognomy done.
Such rosacea came
As part of the game
From too many hours in the sun.
--- Chris Papa

When kids slurp their soup they will dribble-o,
So they should not offer a quibble-o
To Mom, who perhaps
Puts towels in their laps,
It's safe to have those as a bib below.
--- Gary Hallock

I bought my dear a BIBELOT,
In an effort to get her to know,
In my heart and head,
There was Love, instead
Of centered a few spans below.
--- Chris Papa

To be a successful gigolo,
You must occasionally a gift bestow.
It shouldn't cost much;
It needs just the right touch,
Something in the way of a BIBELOT.
--- Norm Brust

A fundamental man was he;
He knew each psalm by memory.
But this minister bold
Had to be told
Not to practice BIBLIOLATRY.
--- Maggie

To practice BIBLIOLATRY,
One needs a good library,
And speed-reading know-how
Or else I do trow,
Just hasn't a spare moment free.
--- Chris Papa

Promiscuous gal known as Nancy
Partook in some BIBLIOMANCY,
Page, unpunctuated
Sans periods, fated
For certain was she for preg-nancy.
--- Gary Hallock

Random book text, BIBLIOMANCY,
May be as good as cartomancy.
Foretelling futures
But for wounds, sutures
Are much better than atomancy. (foretelling with salt)
--- Daniel Ford

If in life you are sorely vexed,
The solution lies in obscure text.
Pick book and scan, see,
That's BIBLIOMANCY.
At least you'll know that you've been hexed.
--- Chris Papa

My language at times is a fright.
Four letter words flow out of sight.
Try as I may,
It never does stray --
If you don't like it you can give me a bight.
--- Phil Hochman

I live on North Jersey Coast BIGHT,
With the foaming ocean in sight.
And within our state
Corrupt crooks third-rate
Ever rule with political might.
--- Chris Papa

Here we sit near the New York Bight,
Hearing the sound of many a flight
Roaring overhead.
Ducking with dread,
We do hope they maintain proper height.
--- Daniel Ford

Little girl, don't use all of your might,
For you can't stop a rope if it's tight.
Stand relaxed in the middle,
Give just a small twiddle,
And jump at the oncoming BIGHT.
--- Bob Dvorak

The BIGOT has a neck stiffer;
Tolerates not those who differ;
Insular, narrow,
Others does harrow,
Risking a blow to his sniffer.
--- Daniel Ford

A bad kind of animal, BIGOT,
Dirt flows from out of his spigot.
He won't learn a bit;
His bias is IT,
Walk away with a curt "Frig it!"
--- Chris Papa

Fine jewelry, little BIJOU,
Accompanied by billet-doux,
Was all she needed,
As he receded,
To engender love's flames anew.
--- Daniel Ford

This is file hul

Women are suckers, it's true,
For men who indulge with BIJOU.
But one quickly sees
If intent is to please
Or just have a quick rendezvous.
--- Maggie

"Now darling, you take this BIJOU,
My sign of affection for you.
I hope in return,
Your respect to earn,
And receive a favor or two."
--- Chris Papa

BILABIAL's good, it is said,
For holding in food as you're fed.
And for those inclined,
It's often we find
Quite useful when giving good head.
--- Chris Papa

A gal who drank many mint juleps
Discovered men lust for her tulips.
This maid, overpowered,
Was quickly deflowered,
BILABIALLY just through her two lips.
--- Gary Hallock

While Slick Willy made it to the top,
He writes about boyhood, non-stop.
The behavior begun
When I was a good son,
But I had a drunk man for a Pop.
--- Chris Papa

And to add much grief to my woes,
Mom had a sucession of beaux.
My BILDUNGSROMAN
Is no shameless con,
For the blameless life that I chose.
--- Chris Papa

The peevish person is BILIOUS,
Made worse by view supercilious,
And constant griping
Or verbal sniping
At those who are less punctilious.
--- Daniel Ford

A dour old curmudgeon I know
Refuses to "go with the flow",
And in manner BILIOUS,
Good manners skill-less,
His upright third finger will show.
--- Chris Papa

A BILIOUS old couple named Todd
Were considered exceedingly odd.
They argued and cussed
And ranted and fussed...
They were just like two peeves in a pod!
--- Observer

How sad that some have such sad ways,
They prey on folks in later days.
A conscience they lack!
They need a good smack!
Pathetic!...To BILK somehow pays.
--- Maggie

A leprauchan dwelt in a glen,
Would toy with some bulls now and then.
"They're easy to BILK,
Because they've no milk
Of kindness, just like mortal men."
--- Chris Papa

The turning of "sow's ear to silk",
The promise of slick swindler's ilk,
Requires belief
Of greedy naif;
Such prey's very easy to BILK.
--- Chris Papa

Said a dairy farm owner named Moffit,
"Though I am pulling down quite a profit,
The government's BILKin'
My income from milkin'
'Cause the tax-man can't keep his hands off it!"
--- Observer

BILLINGSGATE prosers much in our day.
It's what rappers will sing or say.
If they have their druthers
About some folk's "mothers",
Who seem to indulge in sex play.
--- Chris Papa

When you go to the airport of late,
You're forced to hurry up and then wait.
The security crews
Then search your shoes,
While you erupt in BILLINGSGATE.
--- Norm Brust

Wafting breezes grow billowy,
Swirling gowns about willowy
Maidens of a kind,
Bringing oft to mind
Mysteries climaxed pillowy.

There once was a man from Westchester
Who went fishing for a BIMESTER.
When he returned with his catch,
He found this note on the latch:
"I've run away with your friend Lester."
--- Norm Brust

Two-month period of the BIMESTER
Is all we can stand of court jester.
By then jokes are old;
We start to feel cold,
And choose wool over mere polyester.
--- Daniel Ford

There was a young man from Winchester,
Whose girl friend was gone for Bimester.
He stayed rather calm,
Growing hair on his palm,
But thought that the real stuff was bester.
--- Chris Papa

In summer when weather is hot,
Coeds feel that beach is the spot
To spend the BIMESTER,
And in sun will fester,
Ruining young skin quite a lot.
--- Chris Papa

BIMILLENARY, two Roman M's fat,
In few months is where we'll be at.
But other thought had,
Seems like selling ad,
For expensive, plumed, lady's hat.
--- Chris Papa

The homeless wanderer, BINDLE STIFF,
Oft joins others at night under cliff.
But in the morning,
Arguments borning,
In a whose roll is whose bindle tiff.
--- Daniel Ford

"Small price," said Gran with a smile,
After churning and baking a while.
The BINDLE STIFF lopped,
Then split up and chopped
All the logs in the back yard wood pile.
--- Elois

Container-ized cargoes abound,
Where ever our rail lines are found.
And box cars that roam,
The BINDLE STIFF's home,
Will be, all too soon, run aground.
--- Chris Papa

They'll need to hop big rigs for ride,
Across our large land's country side.
And teamsters cajole
To further their role,
As loners without civic pride.
--- Chris Papa

Biosensors are gadgets that measure
Life functions, at work or at leisure.
You can party till dawn
With a monitor on,
And a computer will measure your pleasure.
--- Anon

BISSEXTILE is not what you'd guess;
It's nothing to do with one's dress,
What under it dangles,
Nor bisecting angles,
And this has caused me some distress.
--- Gary Hallock

I have a friend who's BISSEXTILE.
He lives an unusual lifestyle.
In leap years it's boys
Who are his sexual toys.
Then he switches to girls for a while.
--- Norm Brust

For those with BISSEXTILE birth hung,
Though with less celebrations stung,
When counting birthdays,
Their friends will amaze,
By staying some several years young.
--- Chris Papa

BLIGHTY, UK home, has got by me.
The place where the folks might say Blimey!
Whose sailors are tough
From citrus enough,
Which earns one the fine name of Limey.
--- Chris Papa

Looking back on England as BLIGHTY
Is taken these days rather flighty.
Along with strange coaches,
An influx of roaches,
and pillows one describes as mity.
--- Daniel Ford

Local beer, jacket spuds and the scone,
I enjoy when in BLIGHTY alone.
But others on trips,
Who eat fish and chips,
Do deserve a thumbs down and a groan.
--- Elois

BLITHESOME Betty was buxom as well,
With no wicked thoughts, so they tell;
She sure liked to please
And was there to squeeze,
Which the local swains saw as swell.
--- Chris Papa
