Slang for detective is HAWKSHAW,
Even if Navajo or Choctaw,
Or that clever Holmes
Who's found in our homes,
Though not on the streets of Arkansaw.
--- Daniel Ford

HAWKSHAW is the best divorce dick,
Naked nabs, his signature trick.
When they reach for their clothes,
With an awkward pose,
That's when the camera goes 'click'.
--- Norm Brust

HAWKSHAW could well play game of golf
Without ever taking pants off;
Plaid pants are the style,
Though some folks might smile,
They'd not be so rude as to scoff!
--- Observer

A HAWKSHAW of olde, bumbling sleuth,
Worked in a coat of houndstooth.
Surreptition was bad,
He wore pants of plaid,
In gaudy display, quite uncouth.
--- Chris Papa

Don't mean to engage in strange quibblings
Or endulge in gratuitous scribblings.
But should one disparage
A unisex marriage,
Where both of the partners are siblings?
--- Fran

Same sex marriage okay would misfire
Only if such a law would require
That both partners be
A he or a she
Now that would be really HAYWIRE.
--- Fran

Marriage today invokes gay ire.
They feel laws have all gone HAYWIRE.
While straight folks, instead,
Look on with great dread,
If laws are changed on some day dire.
--- Chris Papa

If en route, you have to change a tire,
That's when everything goes HAYWIRE.
The lugs are frozen,
The wrong wrench you've chose,
And the rear wheels are stuck in the mire.
--- Norm Brust

In Florida, things HAYWIRE are norm.
First was failed paper chad storm.
Then push-button fuss
Caused primary blush.
Grant secession! That's election reform!
--- Larry McGrath

Pay attention! To the past hearken,
For when troubles to your door dorken,
You will want a Sue
Or some you-know-who
With whom to retire for some sparkin'.
--- Daniel Ford

There is something that may be said
For frolicking in a warm bed,
Without HEBETUDE,
But rather in mood
For amorous screwing instead.
--- Chris Papa

HEBETUDE is one attitude
That I have not thought to include
In my daily life,
Because it was rife
Being screwed, blued, and tattooed!
--- Barb

When lethargy becomes HEBETUDE,
Logophilia is not subdued.
But rather it flowers
In greater word powers;
And that's when you know you have it, Dude!
--- Daniel Ford

Nutritionists say they find
Overeating can dull the mind.
As we stuff the food in us,
We become hebetudinous,
As blood moves from brain to behind.
--- Norm Brust

There was HEBETUDINOUS dude,
Who dwelt in a hovel quite crude.
With moronic wife,
The love of his life
Who helped him raise a brutish brood.
--- Chris Papa

With pardonable pride they'd both beam,
'Cause things were not dark as might seem.
With the help of Heaven,
Of sons, she'd eleven,
Who now are a pro football team.
--- Chris Papa

In Army, drill sergeant director,
To rookies, looms as a spectre.
He'll see that you're fed,
And tuck you in bed,
And constantly badger and HECTOR.
--- Chris Papa

The bully does harrass and HECTOR
The defenseless with no protector;
Itching for a fight,
Or forging their flight,
Along some more divergent vector.
--- Daniel Ford

Liberals view the private sector
As a target which they joyfully HECTOR.
What they seem to ignore
As does their champion, Gore,
It's the mother load for the tax collector.
--- Norm Brust

Of weighty import do matters' HEFT
Squeeze out others, with little left.
Such biased leaving,
Makes for bad weaving.
It's hard to tell warp from the weft.
--- Daniel Ford

The youth, love-struck swain was bereft.
His sweety had a curvy HEFT.
On strict diet lost
Her weight and the cost;
All bones now and nary soft cleft.
--- Chris Papa

A twenty stone HEFTY lass, mellow,
was smitten with hundred pound fellow.
He expressed his love
Positioned above,
Like a buoy on a vast sea of Jell-O.
--- Elois

HEGIRA, to escape the dread,
When one is with excess fear fed,
But poor Saddam went
To a hole with a vent
And had to be smoked out instead.
--- Chris Papa

No reason for Michael to feara,
Just convert some Dollars to Lira,
And while we cool
The New York Police pool,
You go have a lovely HEGIRA.

(said Don Vito to his son in "The Godfather".
--- Gunjan

Escaping danger on HEGIRA,
From the Bronx to far West Elmira,
The Gershin boys two,
Found tunefulness flew
From George through the keys to young Ira.
--- Daniel Ford

One who commits an act HEINOUS
Is more than a pain in the anus;
The results are rough,
Especially tough
From those who must likely disdain us.
--- Chris Papa

Some folks like their sex, S&M.
I, for one, pity them.
"Oh please, mistress, chain us,
Then do something HEINOUS,"
They cry as they kiss the dom's hem. (dominatrix's)
--- Norm Brust

The "spinmeisters," with biased slants,
Use lies when they roar forth their rants.
It's their sleazy job
To promote some slob,
And serve as despised HEIROPHANTS.
--- Chris Papa

A HELLKITE is shunned, so 'tis said;
A lady who most folks might dread;
She may get her way,
But dubious pay.
Result is a cold lonely bed.
--- Chris Papa

Happiness never seen the light,
Since the great connubial fight
'Bout how he got ill
From her cooking skill
And how she'd become a HELLKITE.
--- Chris Papa

Hitler the HELLKITE caught a Jew;
At gunpoint made him eat dog doo.
The gun slipped his grasp,
And the Jew it did grasp,
And shouted, "Now it's your turn to..."
--- Gunjan

As Hitler got to eating, aghast,
The old Jew made a getaway fast.
Home, he sighed with relief,
Says to wife, you won't believe
With whom today, I shared breakfast.
--- Gunjan

The butcher did search for a wife,
The HELPMEET of his married life,
Who would in bed hop,
Then work in his shop,
And help meat with cleaver and knife.
--- Chris Papa

This is file itl

Eight rhyme beats that I savor,
HEMIDEMISEMIQUAVER,
Belongs to Time's thief,
A note that's so brief,
Amounting to almost a waiver.
--- Chris Papa

Frightened sixty-fourth note bravers
Of French Horn or trumpet flavors,
Would prefer tickling keys
For "Flight of Bumblebee's"
HEMIDEMISEMIQUAVERS.
--- Daniel Ford

I once had a hen named of Meg
Who could crow while she stood on one leg.
And when she was juiced,
She sometimes produced
A hendecahedron-shaped egg. (eleven sides)
--- Nancy Schimmel

Hendecagon sides of elevens,
Seem source of the "loonies" heavens.
Those who care to count
That absurd amount,
Are oft at "sixes and sevens."
--- Daniel Ford

HENOTHEISM, as you can see,
Promotes such religiosity,
To many a soul,
At reasonable toll,
Is great ecuminic' P.C.
--- Chris Papa

HENOTHEISM battles most creeds,
Against their religionists' needs,
Where each god-go-getter
Decides he's much better,
And has all of world-wisdom seeds.
--- Chris Papa

The one god of HENOTHEISM
Sounds somewhat like gallitheism,
Worshipping chicken
As the pots thicken,
While praying skies don't-hit-me-ism.
--- Daniel Ford

Belief in one god before others
In no way religious smothers;
HENOTHEISM
Tennesseeism,
Even Jack Daniels had his druthers.
--- Daniel Ford

With Mammon top dog in our V.I.P.s',
New HENOTHEISTIC hegemonies,
Of Fame, Good Looks, and High Class,
(Compassionless Gods, en masse,)
They wallow in lucre and felonies.
--- Elois

Plant-crunching vegan, HERBIVORE,
Munches nuts and seed by the score;
My girl Valerie's
Counting calories,
But you should have seen her before.
--- Daniel Ford

You'll find grass and veggies galore,
In gut of a pure HERBIVORE.
The fiberous mass,
Sure generates gas,
Contributes to earth-warming, more.
--- Chris Papa

Be prepared to burn at the stake
If a HERETIC position you take.
Better say the earth's flat
Than to risk all that,
'Cause the bastards won't give you a break.
--- Norm Brust

A bird with a walk, HERKY-JERKY;
The gobbler, American turkey.
Once nominated,
Very top-rated,
National emblem quite quirky.
--- Chris Papa

The coke heads abound in the street;
They think their bad habits are neat.
Their take HERMENEUTIC
On sin pharmaceutic,
Is endorphins that just can't be beat.
--- Chris Papa

Some folks live up here like a hermit,
But when they want to hunt, they need permit.
They raise lots of hell,
"All this Red Tape", they yell!
But "self interest" is how I would term it!
--- Barb

Adopting subsistence life style
Isn't easy, by a long mile.
When It gets very cold,
It can get very old,
Viewing diminished wood pile!
--- Barb

Make mine HERMITAGE with a view,
And witty pals, quite a few,
And fruit of the berry,
So we can make merry,
And the thermnostat reads 72!
--- Barb

HERMITAGE, for those who dare,
Is place where you find people rare,
Who solitude crave
And are willing to brave
The rigors of such pied-a-terre.
--- Chris Papa

That gal whose heart didn't respond,
Of whom Dave is exclusively fond,
Give no sign of pleasure,
From Dave's greatest treasure;
His expandable HERMITAGE wand.
--- Elois

"HERSTORY' brings consternation;
Adds fuel to sex conflagration.
Is it not true
That what women do
Is fitfully called MENstruation?
--- Chris Papa

Her sexual preference was orthodox
With strong predilection for HETERODOX,
But if some that she'd see
Had their Ph.D.
And fat purses, she'd swing with the ambi-docs.
--- J'Carlin

It is exceedingly HETERODOX
To eat mozzarella with your lox.
Unless you're like Chris,
Whose bi-ethnic bliss
Includes menus "outside the box."
--- Norm Brust

Against the norm is HETERODOX,
But when all choose the unorthodox,
Do they not become
The uniform some
Oft running like lemmings off the docks?
--- Daniel Ford

Young shepherds to good morals hew,
Knowing the right thing to do.
Their duty to keep
Watch over the sheep,
Not playing the ram to each ewe.
--- Chris Papa

HIBERNACULA just ain't for me,
Even if below zero I see!
If the mercury freezes,
I brave arctic breezes
By fireside, books, company!
--- Barb

HIBERNACULUM we all see,
In the U.S. for you and me,
When the North gets cold up,
Some natives get holed up
Near the warm shores of Miami.
--- Chris Papa

Whenever the word HIE is said,
It means one should "get out the lead",
And move with great speed,
Go real fast, indeed,
Before one more moment has sped.
--- Chris Papa

To the stores! To the malls! We must HIE!
Heed the call -- it's your duty to buy.
Indebt? Don't fear it.
Get the holiday spirit!
There'll be time in April to cry.
--- Phil Kinay

To Florida most old folks HIE,
But yound Dan and I both get by;
When winter snows come,
Like polar bears numb,
Shivering and wondering why.
--- Chris Papa

Doc's Rx's for purgative, HIEROGLYPHIC,
On dosage was less than specific.
So results were rated
By patients constipated
From "nothing" to "really terrific."
--- Norm Brust

When helping with cures quite terrific,
One's given prescription specific;
It's written you see,
All quite cryptically,
As medical HIEROGLYPHIC.
--- Chris Papa

Some picture symbols HIEROGLYPHIC
Are found in caves and on walls cliffic,
In Ur and Chaldeas,
Conveying ideas
Semiotics now find pontific.
--- Daniel Ford

Difficult signs HIEROGLYPHIC,
Interpretations nonspecific
And all sorts of Greek
That professors speak
To give them an air pontific.
--- Daniel Ford

I think old Egyptians terrific.
They must have had some HIEROGLYPHIC
For upset tummies
Which produced the mummies,
Or maybe a good soporific!
--- Barb
