The flames grew higher and higher,
As the brimstone fed Hell's hot fire.
I'd rather be MORPHEUS
Than poor old Orpheus
Searching for Iphigenia.
--- Norm Brust

Dave, hermit who tippled too much.
One night went for Venus' soft touch.
But lost lover's charms
In MORPHEUS' arms,
And spent session snoring and such.
--- Chris Papa

A MOUNTEBACK deals in cures fake,
And will filthy lucre in rake.
It ain't that he's smart,
He just knows the art
Of wheedling the fools who partake.
--- Chris Papa

Your common sense has gone in the tank,
If you buy stuff from a MOUNTEBANK.
His miracle elixir
(Alcohol and a mixer)
Will make your mind quickly go blank.
--- Norm Brust

It almost requires a scoff,
To know MOXIE was a soft quaff.
But now means a thing
Of which poets sing,
And proper gents would their hats doff.
--- Chris Papa

There once was a man of Biloxi,
Who drank forty bottles of MOXIE.
It emboldened him so,
That he just had to go,
But he missed. Now quite soggy his socksi.
--- Gary Hallock

A virile young man with much MOXIE,
Said, "I'm to be wed now, by proxy.
My stand-in will vow,
But better not now,
Bed down with my hot lady foxy."
--- Chris Papa

With undaunted courage, MOXIE,
Unless he's dumb, stubborn, oxy,
That virile man must
Have an equal trust
That hot lady's not a doxy.
--- Townmouse

In my youth, it took a deal of MOXIE
To become an usher at the Roxy.
Which brought little pay
But hope for a lay
From a loose young lady foxy.
--- Chris Papa

Who cared about salary carp
When you wore a uniform sharp.
That could be undone
For some instant fun
In corner, beneath an old tarp.
--- Daniel Ford

In Washington, we'll find, one day,
Reminder from all who would play,
"This is the White House,
Please think of your spouse,
And what Mrs. Grundy might say!"
--- Chris Papa

When I go to the movies today,
Mrs. Grundy's the role that I play!
That four-letter word
Is constantly heard,
So much, that it gets in the way.
--- Maggie

Just listen to young people talk,
Foul words used so often, I balk!
It is sad but true,
They will cuss at you,
Thinking this is a cool way to squawk!
--- Maggie

Ruth Reichel, as was wont to do,
Taste tested at restaurant new;
Food MUCKETY-MUCK,
Said "Yuckety-yuck!"
And gave it an awful review.

(food critic New York Times)
--- Chris Papa

MUCKETY-MUCK, misbehavin',
Was undone because of stain-savin'
By gal who wiped lip,
Then listened to Tripp,
Avoidin' the dry cleanin' maven.
--- Chris Papa

High MUCKY-MUCK, that boastful man
With ego as large as his fan.
"Pooh-Bah" is just so
In the "Mikado",
Who dwells in old pseudo-Japan.
--- Chris Papa

With salacious new catalogue pitch,
Former staid Abercrombie and Fitch,
Did not make the cut
With group you-know-what,
Or with blondes wearing nary a stitch.
--- Elois

I've know many a high MUCKY-MUCK
Whose position was the result of good luck.
But deprived of his props,
He has no real "chops"
And is simply a pompous schmuck.
--- Norm Brust

The Fugawi elite in Nantucket
Race each year (They're high mucky-mucket.)
Through the fog off the coast,
In vessels they boast
Is a helluva seaworthy bucket.
--- Elois

I once knew a bimbo named Buffy
So called for her near-naked mufti
With naught but large shirt
Worn lose like short skirt,
Her muff covered by not enough tee.
--- Gary Hallock

In mufti, a macho G.I.
Would pass for a nice, quiet guy.
Which belied his taste
For laying folks waste,
Protecting such as you and I.
--- Chris Papa

MULIEBRITY, legs and arms bare
To eliminate unsightly hair.
But men aren't brave
To blindly shave
With razor in underarm snare.
--- Bob S

MULIEBRITY, feminine state,
Which most men consider as great,
When it comes to bedding
But not when they're heading
To spend dough at "Barrel & Crate".
--- Chris Papa

Womanhood, MULIEBRITY,
May stand against celebrity.
An action, I think,
Which drives one to drink
And much pubic inebri'ty.
--- Daniel Ford

There once was a famous drag queen
Who'd recite Shakespeare, scene after scene.
But the source of his celebrity,
Was his fab MULIEBRITY.
It turned all the other queens green.
--- Norm Brust

Which one is the fairer sex?
Answer can't be too complex.
What soothes mens' soul
Or stiffen pole,
MULIEBRITY, mine erects.
--- Gary Hallock

Thank God for MULIEBRITY,
Our maternal celebrity,
Does love our small quirks
Even when we're jerks,
And still clean us up when we're gritty.
--- Darryl

MULIEBRITY is what I like most
About the wonam's body as host.
And though I'm quite mild
I love to drive them wild,
But then I am not one to boast.
--- Barrie Eksteen

MULIEBRITY may be the tool
By which men grade the available pool.
My wife has the standard
To carry the banner,
But by her standards, I am the mule.
--- Bob Dvorak

Some MULLIONS, in windows, I've had,
Their loss isn't specially sad,
It's better they flee,
That wouldn't hurt me,
But bye-bye to MILLIONS is bad.
--- Chris Papa

MULTITUDINOUS blessings for all,
On this special day in the Fall,
With life, food, and love,
And friendship above,
The great gifts that are at our call.
--- Chris Papa

In great numbers, MULTITUDINOUS,
Feelings of guilt do intrude in us.
When we're giving thanks,
Might be at food banks --
Mea culpa's platitudinous.
--- Daniel Ford

I confess to my sins MULTITUDINOUS,
Sad example of crass and the lewd in us.
For it's inside I think
When I hear "in the pink",
I envision young maids pulchritudinous.
--- Phil Kinay

This is file jfl

MUMBO JUMBO of our politicians;
Useful tool for life's varied conditions.
Give congrats or condole,
Pols can change role to role.
Kiss the babies, shake hands at morticians.
--- Elois

Lavish, generous, MUNIFICENT,
Are the donor most beneficent,
Until you deny
That for which they cry;
Then indeed they turn maleficent.
--- Daniel Ford

Look, see our pols MUNIFICENT,
Quite ready to help pay the rent
For contributors
And other 'cash whores',
Who campaign laws will circumvent.
--- Chris Papa

It surely will stick in your craw,
If you expect Justice sans flaw,
Since, when on life's journeys,
You'll find most attorneys,
Most sadly practice MURPHY'S LAW!
--- Chris Papa

A MYOPIC man merkin made,
To help his bad aim whilst he played.
Or else he'd miss spot,
And fear that his shot
Might on her blue dress never fade.
--- Chris Papa

There's a MYRIAD of excuses
For gastro-nomical abuses.
"I've not a big ass,
It's all muscle mass.
I jog but it never reduces."
--- Frank

As cool breezes stir in Autumn,
Before long there'll be noses numb,
Sere leaves, painted all,
And ready to fall,
With MYRIAD more yet to come.
--- Chris Papa

MYRMIDONs together like ants,
Praise their Lord in monotone chants,
Think only of goal;
That's good on the whole,
But ethics get shot in the pants.

(loyal follower)
--- Daniel Ford

"Lead on!" the MYRMIDON cries,
With ardor that reaches to skies.
Then wrong or right,
Is willing to fight,
Until the last one of them dies.
--- Chris Papa

A MYRMIDON's sweet as a fruit,
Supports his guy, goes the whole route.
In Washington rare,
He just isn't there,
Just Willy Clinton or Newt.

(loyal follower)
--- Chris Papa

The prophets and seers of old,
Are described in tall tales quite bold,
MYTHOPOEIC tome,
The Bible's at home,
As place where good morals are told. (Bullshit - McW)
--- Chris Papa

Ralph Nader of Greenies did score
The NADIR of votes, nary more.
Though Democrats roil,
And say he did spoil,
The chances of their guy, Al Gore.
--- Chris Papa

The lowest point, cultural NADIR,
Might have been King Richard Crusader,
Who read Roman screed
And felt a great need
To become mid-east blockader.
--- Daniel Ford

The King and pied piper went charging,
Intent on Christiandom enlarging.
Chased Moslems and Jews
Through alleys and mews,
Every night Knights Templar discharging.
--- Daniel Ford

The bane of olfactory fairies,
Worse that bad dental caries,
Though taste buds does please,
Is Limburger cheese,
Once it passes by your NARES.
--- Chris Papa

The doors to the nose are the NARES,
Keeping guard like some janissaries,
To alert our senses
Of need for defenses,
Ere we be found in ossuaries.
--- Daniel Ford

There was a young lady from Paris
Who had just a singular NARIS.
For two she'd no need;
She was a half-breed.
No stranger face, I'm thinking there is.
--- Gary Hallock

Some people think I am a nark,
Though my bite's not as bad as my bark.
But while it's a minor crime,
I can't stand a false rhyme,
So abusers get a pointed remark.
--- Norm Brust

At newspaper, one would remark,
Reporter was mild-mannered NARK.
But was, otherwise,
"Superman" in disguise,
Masquerading as Kent (first name Clark).
--- Chris Papa
