Priestly talents in IMMANENCE (intrinsic) (impending)
Man's IMMANENT urge to a Miss, (inhernet) (about to happen)
That man's IMMINENT eminence (about to happen)
In U.S. we sleep well, secure, Though secure behind high walls, IMMURE, Today it ain't quite suitable
A French complement ere they horse serve.
Such a little tidbit
On hunger's flame spit,
And increased civility preserve.
--- Daniel Ford
I attack the tray of HORS D'OEUVRES.
The caviar's a winner
And since I'm not having dinner,
I'll keep munching, though the host thinks "some nerve!"
--- Norm Brust
Mixed BB-shot in with his beans.
When bad air was forced,
It made a large HORST,
Containing the lead smithereens.
--- Chris Papa
Of coaches so representative,
Are more than they seem,
Not merely, "Go Team,"
But future sucess evocative.
--- Daniel Ford
But, despite the facts that he knew, he
Lectured the nation
On each TV station,
With earnest HORTATIVE hooey.
--- Chris Papa
Can either be mean, or be nice.
But since most are free,
They usually
Need some review once or twice.
--- Chris Papa
Of noisy campaign HUBBLE-BUBBLE;
It's mostly inane,
And gives me a pain,
Like bad toothache, only double.
--- Chris Papa
Could lead one astray, with downslide:
HUBRIS insane as
Coriolanus,
And Hamlet's Claudius woe betide.
--- Daniel Ford
Or fear of what Saddam had in stock?
Some think the first,
But that theory will burst
Once we tame the Islamist bloc.
--- Norm Brust
Has ego that he likes to pump.
But justice is fair;
His case of bad hair,
Still makes the guy look like a chump.
--- Chris Papa
Sold useless things, brass and fool's gold.
Today's HUCKSTERS sell
As we all know well,
Politicians, all liars bold.
--- Chris Papa
Is filled with press dusting on lustings.
And often resounds
With calls to the hounds,
As beaters sniff for hidden thrustings.
--- Daniel Ford
When magnified is spectacular.
No wonder Hercules
With its killing was pleased.
Said he, "Hot damn!" in vernacular.
--- Daniel Ford
Than tackling a HYDRA instead;
In tentacles caught,
You struggle for naught --
Ironic, you can't get ahead.
--- Chris Papa
Is callow and sallow and weak.
Though devoted and kind,
She's vapid of mind --
Not your typical muscle-bound Greek.
--- Eva Amata
Matic fight with a HYDRA.
A man's strong right arm
May have done it some harm,
But it was just me and poor Phaedra.
--- Eva Amata
She knew what to do with a snake --
She dealt it two blows
On the end of each nose,
And tossed it off into the lake.
--- Eva Amata
For their favorite bone in the throat.
The HYOID, unmatched
And unattached,
Is the one they're most likely to quote.
--- Chris Papa
Large, with no neighbors, a freak.
It keeps the larynx
Away from the pharynx,
And achors the tongue while we speak.
--- J'Carlin
Expository and attractive
To news reporters,
Repub supporters,
And scolds of all kinds interactive.
--- Daniel Ford
When it's used in haste or off guard.
Perhaps my backfire,
Brands speaker a liar.
And then hoist on his own petard.
--- Elois
Is verbiage quite overstated.
A grand selling job
That transforms a slob
To one whose virtues are freighted. (conveyed)
--- Chris Papa
May seem beyond bounds verbally.
But there's no better
Vegan meat setter
Than desser of pie peared herbally.
--- Daniel Ford
Is not all that much to my taste:
Seals, penguins and mullet
All stick in my gullet
And the dress-code is rather too chaste.
--- Eva Amata
They live on the Arctic's cold mass.
In parkas they toast
And try their utmost
To rarely expose a cold ass.
--- Chris Papa
Is a result of a frolic in snow.
But on a long arctic night,
Better snuggle up tight,
Just be sure it's with someone you know.
--- Barb
Their culture HYPERBOREAN.
But their heavy clothes
And furred-in toes,
Prohibit any art Terpsichorean.
--- Norm Brust
Expresss their affections quite bold,
By rubbing of noses.
This fact supposes,
Their sex lives are low temp controlled.
--- Chris Papa
And find such a diet ideal.
Slow pulse it quickens,
Genitals thickens,
As down to their parkas they peel.
--- Chris Papa
While anorak she is peeling.
But I don't know
What you would show
If on bear skin you're kneeling.
--- Daniel Ford
Sought several new doctors to try.
He found at each portal
That he was just mortal,
But later, not sooner, would die.
--- Chris Papa
Digest all the food he could eat,
Eliminate waste,
Indulge in bad taste,
And visit psychiatrist's suite.
--- Chris Papa
The ones with this particular tic,
But have too few friends
For word at their ends,
But perhaps, "I told you I was sick!"
--- Daniel Ford
This is file irl
So the little bee said in haste,
"HYPOGEUSIA's the reason
I've no pollen this season.
It ain't my fault I've no buds to taste."
--- Kitten
"Cooking for you is a waste,
With your HYPOGEUSIA,
I'd happily lose ya',
Telling me I'm an acquired taste!"
--- Chris Papa
Though it may leave me dry and high,
In a futile search
For a reverse lurch,
Designed to raise loud hue and cry.
--- Chris Papa
To care for me when I'm ill.
But once recovered,
I chafe if discovered
Because they have sent me a bill.
--- Chris Papa
A heartening shot from punch spiker,
Ought not be confused
With whiskey abused
By hairy beast, Hell's Angel biker.
--- Daniel Ford
But that seems from stab wound or shot,
I've swabbed in my day,
As man, in his way,
Determines what lives and does not.
--- Chris Papa
He, most revered idols will blast.
Then fallacies pegs,
Makes omelet of eggs,
And topples the mighty, real fast.
--- Chris Papa
Is by diplomat oft outclassed,
And the gadfly's role,
Square peg in round hole,
Makes conscience pricker an outcast.
--- Daniel Ford
To inspire and IDEATE,
The essential trick,
To sculpt limerick,
Or any fine art you'd create.
--- Chris Papa
We hope some consequence to create.
Yet that purity's
Lost in security's
Technology glitch. "My idea ate."
--- Daniel Ford
At places the Romans called IDES.
We now just count days
Through the lunar phase,
Which varies, along with the tides.
--- Chris Papa
To figure what might be an ide.
In happens just once
In each of 12 months,
And most of us take it in stride.
--- Gary Hallock
How comes there's an 'S' at the end.
If singular, not,
Then I think we've got
To try to squeeze more of them in.
--- Gary Hallock
Attaches to IDIOLECT.
I thought it, perhaps,
Meant one of the chaps
Who we into Congress select.
--- Chris Papa
Such ills are disease, after all.
Placebos won't do
And the option few,
Are to treat symptioms as they may fall.
--- Chris Papa
Imagining idiopathic blight.
They pester their docs
Who say whispered "Pox!"
And wish they would vanish from sight.
--- Barb
What you get in return for your dough,
Is subtle admission
That your tough condition
Must be cause by "What, I don't know."
--- Chris Papa
An idea from counterfeiters steal.
Prescribe phoney pills
For "no known cause" ills.
Make your patients and cell mates well feel.
--- Elois
It won't get out of bed before ten.
This odd IDIOPATHY
Earns me no sympathy;
In fact, my doc threw me out once again.
--- Norm Brust
And so will posterity blame us;
The voters, you see,
Picked the electee,
The little-choice IGNORAMUS.
--- Chris Papa
To figure the rash situation.
While hubby explained
Erection was feigned
And bar maid was for conversation.
--- Chris Papa
Which results in investor elation.
The stock market climbs
As in other times,
But are we drawing the wrong ILLIATION?
--- Norm Brust
It was thought that madam was not tippling.
But, nevertheless,
Her eyes, I confess,
Were glazed and her gait somewhat tripping.
--- Daniel Ford
It's not done in circles patrician,
Where one does partake,
Not quaff like a rake,
Even in times of prohibition.
--- Daniel Ford
On cold nights they'd IMBRICATE.
It provided heat
And great sex play neat,
Though in hot summer, it would abate.
--- Chris Papa
On butterfly wings as they inflate.
Ere adults go flying
Without even trying,
To find blossom nectar and mate.
--- Daniel Ford
Of careless word of insult.
Either turn other cheek
Or legal help seek,
And with a lawyer consult!
--- Barb
Is INCOMUNICADO since
He left his high place,
Resigned in disgrace,
As "victim", or so he'd convince.
--- Chris Papa
Must not remain in IMMINENCE,
But fully exercised,
If dreamed be realized:
Become Monsignor Eminence.
--- Daniel Ford
As someone to fondle and kiss,
Amidst hormone yells
His nether part swells,
No danger, just IMMINENT bliss.
--- Chris Papa
Ought not be given prominence,
For such attention
Aids his intention
With Miss: emanant sememence.
--- Daniel Ford
Since we've the good snse to IMMURE
Two million felons,
Who misused their melons,
And strayed from the path straight and pure.
--- Chris Papa
Another problem arises sure,
For what does one do
With all the doo-doo
That will pile up like so much manure?
--- Daniel Ford
To express this thought IMMUTABLE.
From the ancients wise,
In Occident's eyes,
Orientals are all quite inscrutable.
--- Chris Papa
