Others may view as pathetic.
A life of denial
Is not to my style.
Occasional pain beats steady anesthetic.
--- Norm Brust
Invested a great deal of cash,
An ASHRAM he'd see,
In high hope that he
Might ram with a good piece of ash.
--- Chris Papa
Whose ash bats ram balls to tatters,
Has naught to offer
For the cash proffer,
In the rash of ASHRAM matters.
--- Daniel Ford
To do something that's daring, to splurge.
But with water that's holy,
He'd never splash. Slowly
With care, he prepares to asperge.
--- Anon
The harshness of tone, severity,
From mother should be
Enough that child see,
Or suffer tender posterity.
--- Daniel Ford
Shows signs of native ASPERITY,
Pulls minor gaffs dumb,
Picks nose with his thumb,
Inspects "find" without much temerity.
--- Chris Papa
And treating in manner that's tough,
Like dealing with brat
Who torched pussy cat,
With barely a conscience enough.
--- Chris Papa
With my very frequent ASPERSIONS,
'Bout ribald, lech, monks,
And hermit-cave-hunks,
All seeking sexual diversions.
--- Chris Papa
The table and soup of the day,
And now and again,
Get dose of ptomaine,
From sampling a sour souffle.
--- Chris Papa
Will artistic merit ASSAY,
May give his assent
Or perhaps be bent,
To view in a most jaundiced way.
--- Chris Papa
In getting through each dawning day,
"Is this fellow good?,
Or maybe we should,
Just nod, and get out of his way."
--- Chris Papa
With only one offspring, a he,
Is discovering how
To let go right now.
Since he has discovered a she!
--- Maggie
Was quite a lascivious cuss.
With moral decay,
He'd try every way,
To goose gals, in pursuit ASSIDUOUS.
--- Chris Papa
Said with scowls and frowns, and not grins.
Now I'd better ASSOIL,
Through penance and toil,
Else they notify my next of kin.
--- Eric Seaberg
I'd rather weren't so widely well-known.
For I must now ASSOIL,
Play according to Hoyle,
The ace up my sleeve has been blown.
--- Eric Seaberg
When I without thinking will spoil
Great moments in life
With my loving wife,
By taking for granted her toil.
--- Chris Papa
Are necessary in our turmoil.
For when war-riven,
Who's asked and given
Must not from any other recoil.
--- Daniel Ford
A babe he sought out as a foil,
But she was so hot,
To early he shot,
And shorts went to wash to ASSOIL.
--- J'Carlin
When terror arrived on our soil,
I haven't a doubt
How it will turn out,
But I won't grant their leader ASSOIL!
--- Barb
Flew into an uncontrolled rage,
When the young daters
And older spectators
Declined to applaud or ASSUAGE!
--- Observer
And otherwise guilt camouflage,
The Arab emirs
Shed crocodile tears
Midst statements of outright garbage.
--- Chris Papa
Gives evidence of a blast supreme,
Where meteor struck,
Leaving only muck,
Like Yankee view of the Castro theme.
--- Daniel Ford
As in "veni vidi vici" fame,
The short verse above
Describes coupling love,
As one I saw, I conquered, I came.
--- Daniel Ford
With summary good as you get;
Like life's mating game
Expressed in phrase lame:
Gal he met, bride he'd get, now all wet!
--- Chris Papa
Which few, these days, ever embrace.
They get very much
From Google and such,
At a very astonishing pace.
--- Chris Papa
Of knowledge, you'll find a good share,
But prepare to delve
And not your mind shelve,
Or sit there with a glassy stare.
--- Chris Papa
Is becoming a book museum.
Where in we old readers
Enjoy our old cedars
And tales of an old coliseum.
--- Daniel Ford
To youth of today is museum,
Which to logophiles
Brings frowns and not smiles,
A pain in the peritoneum.
--- Daniel Ford
Male anatomy, thief Time will bring,
To such a bad past,
Unless old gent, fast,
Lets Viagra the ancient chimes ring.
--- Chris Papa
Are those that most others would dread.
If only their doc
Would give 'lectric shocks,
Or Zoloft and Prozac, instead.
--- Chris Papa
So I changed my approach to the rear.
She was quite accommodating
To this form of mating,
As her butt enveloped my spear.
--- Norm Brust
But she had a mate sympathetic.
With weenie so small,
They both had a ball,
Indulging in sex energetic.
--- Chris Papa
Does leave one feeling quite pathetic.
Gator with head on both ends,
Has trouble making friends.
He's extra mean, anger's kinetic.
--- Daniel Ford
This is file hxl
That scalawag "Bill of ATTAINDER;"
Though impeachment met,
No punishment get,
And served out his term, the remainder.
--- Chris Papa
But the guests always showed up late.
Cocktails came first
And were carefully nursed,
And finally, ATTENUATE.
--- Norm Brust
Those circumstances extenuate
The sentence of life:
That weight gaining strife,
Which for some yields a tenuous fate.
--- Daniel Ford
Then twelve come expecting a plate.
To help feed the group,
Thank God there's the soup,
Which we'll have to ATTENUATE.
--- Chris Papa
He gave in to his cynicism
And resigned with a splash
Plus a bit of panache,
With a note showing his ATTICISM.
--- Frank
Far removed from ATTICISM,
And sure to offend
Those who won't undbend
From grammar's fanaticism.
--- Chris Papa
Makes for beautiful witticism;
Though remarks fulgent
Are self-indulgent
To pendants filled with critism.
--- Daniel Ford
Must surely have seemed heaven sent;
Such an explanation
To our lowly station
Brings insight to things that were bent.
--- Daniel Ford
With report, breakthrough AUFKLARUNG,
Said, "Smoke if you must;
The result unjust,
Is cancer will rot out your lung."
--- Chris Papa
No matter what might then have been sought,
Then we're satisfied
That nothing we've tried,
Will always be seen by some as naught.
--- Daniel Ford
Of oil tracings, which might then tell
If they might get less,
Or have great success,
Evincing that they'd AUGURED well.
--- Chris Papa
So I shut AURICLE of ear,
With earphones that drown
Each dumb verb and noun
Emitted from Cassandra dear.
--- Chris Papa
So no incorrect message it sends,
No hair in my heart,
Its AURICLE part,
Is not what my message intends.
--- Chris Papa
I think age is the nasty trigger.
Mother Nature contrives
At the end of our lives
Our Physiognomy to rejigger.
--- Daniel Ford
As well as those diamondiferous,
Leads many young chicks
From out in the sticks
To acts becoming lactiferous.
--- Daniel Ford
In search of AURIFEROUS city,
A fabled mistake,
Left death in their wake,
Destroying so much, without pity.
--- Chris Papa
In theaters all over the nation;
Though it wasn't the acting
That did the attracting,
But the wonderfully-filmed aurigation.
--- Anon
Best never lead to osculation.
The law is quite clear;
He's out on his rear,
Even without copulation.
--- Gary
Lass needed chest AUSCULTATION,
With stethoscope pressed
On virgin sweet breast,
His tail wagged with turgid station.
--- Chris Papa
And eagerly beg for a thrilling,
Ribald culmination
To said AUSCULTATION,
The professional threats dictate chilling.
--- Gary
Is cat, since it's one of its dishes.
It stalks winged prey
In a most patient way,
Waiting to pounce when AUSPICIOUS.
--- Daniel Ford
And indeed, the food proved delicious.
As dessert was cleared,
I stood up and cheered,
Until I got stuck with the dishes.
--- Norm Brust
Whether chairmen or monarchy,
Tell all, "it's quite good",
Though all of us should
Recognize that's so much malarkey.
--- Chris Papa
Place of origin comes into play.
I'd use it you see,
Great deal frequently,
Except it's so darn hard to say!
--- Chris Papa
From their various haunts, dens, or lairs,
AUTOCHTHONOUS species
Don't drive Mitsubishis;
Each set of paws comes in two pairs.
--- Jim D
Sahib, so it won't be surprising.
You proud Brits should know,
The natives below
Plan AUTOCHTHONOUS uprising.
--- Chris Papa
Normal functions, inside them are tucked
Certain enzymes, byname:
Autolytic. Their game?
If released, the cells autodestruct.
--- Sheila B
So you guys will know who to blame.
Good, bad, or worse,
You'll know it's my verse,
Winding up in your trash, or in fame!
--- Barb
Our credulity to abuse.
Guy posed as some dame
And had not his real name,
While we all our AUTONYMS use.
--- Chris Papa
As from trap some pinioned beast sails.
Though some folks think great,
I'll not emulate.
It hurts me to clip hair and nails.
--- Chris Papa
I think of a frontal lobotomy
That some self-impose
With strong drink they chose --
Just like the bottle in front of me.
--- Daniel Ford
Smart, kind, and polite, above par.
Does folks satisfy,
But girl wants to try
For soulmate, god-sent AVATAR.
--- Elois
And playing with my little Italian car.
Occasionally I'll take time
To compose a rhyme,
But of ambition, I'm no avatar.
--- Norm Brust
Of Britain's navy, time long afar,
When fine wooden ships
Gave many French slips,
And new meaning to girl's "have a tar."
--- Daniel Ford
