What Clinton was subjected to.
For many a man
Would be in the pan
And fried...or made into a stew!
--- Maggie
I would have flipped my proverbial lid!
If he was my guy,
Then I would ask why,
As I shampooed his body with "Rid".
--- Maggie
Whenever I'm into word play.
I never will puff
With erudite stuff
Designed to impress the folks lay.
--- Chris Papa
Does in fact often bring emphasis,
That is rather snide
And surely won't hide
Your thought: guilty of apostasis.
--- Daniel Ford
In G & S shows, quite a few.
It comes down to this;
A man steals a kiss,
Saying, "This is what I will not do!"
--- Daniel Ford
Who uttered this anguished APORIA,
When three pals and I
Decided to drop by.
"You expect me to do the four o' ya?"
--- Norm Brust
Runs counter oft to euphoria.
One cannot find joy
When steak's made of soy,
As sold in Vegan emporia.
--- Daniel Ford
Carousing throughout sumptious sup.
Much euphoria
Then some APORIA,
As gent couln't get his thing up.
--- Chris Papa
Or dwell on sordid "Oralgate".
The nation, it seems,
Has a case of bad dreams,
Hails Chief, APOTHEOSIS great.
--- Chris Papa
Will have to bear Valhalla rent.
'Tis better, I think,
Glenfidich to drink,
Be merry with earthly content.
--- Chris Papa
From Man to God metamorphosis.
Transfiguration,
Caligulation,
To some though, it's simple psychosis.
--- Daniel Ford
Is so often pejorative that
It's hard to remember
The word as an ember
Of mechanisms for bureaucrat.
--- Daniel Ford
Where all power brokers are at.
The duties are light,
And good perks are quite
Expected by every fat cat.
--- Chris Papa
With an in-party House does not rate.
The Speaker controls
Most votes on the rolls.
The APPARAT seals the Gov's fate.
--- Elois
If ever you'd be one of those,
Is yet, all-in-all,
A much nicer call,
Than being known as a "brown-nose".
--- Chris Papa
With ethics on full year vacation,
They make livings, by gosh,
Spewing pure APPLESAUCE;
Spinmeisters work conning our nation.
--- Elois
Is polite way to avoid distress;
Informing a liar,
Not stoking the fire
By saying, "You're full of B.S."
--- Chris Papa
Has a sense of that which we treasured,
Though if it were more
In our savings store,
We'd be appreciably pleasured.

That fair taxing cuts are unreachable.
The bucks that bought ads
Must be paid back with scads
Of tax cutting for assets appreciable.

'Cause I cannot fathom intention.
But when it takes pain
To Dummy explain,
He does do without condescension.

It's also not spurned;
Our character risks condemnation.

But the monks were delighted.
No scripture was cited,
And some offered wild APPROBATION.

As did two other STARRS;
Kay sang; Blaze stripped in bars;
Tommy TUNE dances in New York's Broadway.

A lovely way someone to enlimn.
And if the effect
Gains fame to connect,
That one may become a synonym.

The word means, methinks,
What's found in tubs, sinks
Translated to merely "right water".

Yields, on some further reflection,
An new thought that toys,
With word AQUAPOISE.
The reader must make the selection.

They could launch a lance,
Minimal advance,
Through a far king's gilded, treasure chest.

Men died by the old ARBALEST,
It left some, you know,
But knowledge would grow,
To ways so we can nuke the rest.
--- Chris Papa
Revived for Lord of Rings armor fest,
Created such wounds
That physicians swooned
And bothered not with the herbalist.
--- Daniel Ford
Might find you don't care to be run through
By the death-dealing jolt
Of an ARBALEST's bolt,
Which leaves holes you can look at the sun through.

You need purity whiter than whiter.
You don't spoil good taste
Or Cohibas waste
In foreplay with bimbo one nighter.

Dendrologist's jocularity.

Is a common editorial
Subject nowadays;
Those paper forays
Use trees, leaving landscapes boreal.

Motivates me
To plant a tree,
Thus leaving a long-lasting memorial.

Has borne much queer fruit,
From its gnarly root,
Except at the top, where there's ME!

Have odor fungal
In duff of jungle,
Where quick pick makes evanescent.
--- Daniel Ford
Supposes sylvan interlude.
Whilst clothed guys pluck strings
Or scribble smart things,
And ogle a lady fair, nude.
--- Chris Papa
Drew to help Stokowski's band.
People half-horse
All bent on love's course,
In Pastoral Symphony grand.
--- Chris Papa
Can be in the ass, a real painer.
Though seemingly bright,
One hopes that each might
Speak in a manner much plainer.
--- Chris Papa
For most it's difficult to explain.
For me, one thing bugs,
Those who must wear rugs,
Instead shave, or try some Rogaine.
--- Darryl
Is need to always explain 'em,
When look of delight
Expected from bright,
Becomes a blank interreggnum.
--- Daniel Ford
Hawaiian styles of clothing so
Bright, light and airy,
Skin damage hairy.
Just watch old Archie's pelage go.
--- Daniel Ford
To hold that real ARCHIMAGE genie
Was man of large frame,
Who went by the name
Of "The Great Harry Houdini."
--- Chris Papa
To set a mood that was sunny.
Then out on the stage
Came the ARCHIMAGE,
And out of his hat came a bunny.
--- Norm Brust
Was old Seward's contribution,
Increased U.S. size,
And you may surmise
Makes Mother Bunch Liliputian.
--- Daniel Ford
Awaiting October surprise,
The pols make me sick.
I think that I'll quick
Throw up on all of those guys.
--- Chris Papa
Has only few mates who are mussy.
Because they must scurry
About duties hurry,
And hope that the bucket's not rusty.
--- Daniel Ford
On meeting it, you might wind up dead!
But my kids pondered on
What planet I was from;
Mom had eyes in the back of her head!
--- Barb
In her efforts to keep my study neat.
If a cigar ash I drop,
She springs with a mop,
And her ritual, "Please lift your feet."
--- Norm Brust
Will growl, bark and make hair stand up
In a fierce display
To scare all away,
Yet inside wins the loving cup.
--- Chris Papa
Absorbing each other's word-hits,
Now please don't be flip,
Keep stiff upper lip,
And don't tread on each other's tits.
--- Chris Papa
She was a penile ARISTARCH.
"Not bad," was the best
She'd give to her guest,
When length reached her critical mark.
--- Chris Papa
She of the cutting remark.
She lives under my roof
And whenever I goof,
Lets go with what sounds like a bark.
--- Norm Brust
Who will fall for each foolish fad.
For some, ARITHMANCY,
Just tickles their fancy,
Though some still don't know how to add.
--- Chris Papa
Helps only those who ain't The Man, see.
When by intuition
Supplying tuition,
Number readers find ways to Nancy.

Today, the hippest kid slips
ARMILLARY rings,
And assorted things
In the navel, nares, and lips.
--- Chris Papa
Referring to very large street,
When traffic won't budge,
Like embolic sludge,
Brings blockage that's almost complete.
--- Chris Papa
William Harvey was imperious,
Concept fantastic
Iconoclastic:
Circulation was venereous.
--- Daniel Ford
We sometimes become quite delirious.
Embolic traffic flow,
Into fits does us throw --
It's taken a bit much too serious.
--- Sue Johnson
A nice and polite guise for 'guile'
One needs in position,
If he be politician,
Or will be only a short while.
--- Chris Papa
Are the products they craft, and it shows.
When they're peddling their wares
At the markets and fairs,
Whither archers, the artiller goes.
