Where one can take leisure with grace.

--- Chris Papa
Help many a damsel to thaw
In winter's deep cold,
Or so we are told;
Is it just slick salesman's chutzpah?
--- Daniel Ford
I might as well get forty winks,
Forgetting the horse hips
And those actors slack lips,
Which seem to have missed all the synchs!
--- Chris Papa
Of years Father Time took at pillage,
He said to his wife,
"Enough of this strife.
It's time for retirement village."
--- Chris Papa
Who said she had a SPECTRAL visit.
She was treated with scorn
Till her child was born.
If not then the ghost's, whose is it?
--- Chris Papa
Is often done without a proctor.
To check on the lies
Being fed by spies,
Who ought to be labeled concocter.
--- Daniel Ford
Sans shame, their slick slogans, they shout 'em.
I fear there's no cure;
Of this I am sure.
We'd all be better off, without 'em.
--- Chris Papa
And others are experts on skin.
The latter need appointments
Before they give ointments.
The former are happy to take you in.
--- Norm Brust
But others not comprehended,
Like SPLENDIFEROUS,
Quite vociferous.
Coiner should be apprehended.
--- Darryl
Has a result that's SPLENDIFEROUS.
That Viagra thing,
Will cause instant Spring,
And help make an organ quite stifferous.
--- Chris Papa
Mugo pines are coniferous,
Through which winds swish,
While we're catching fish,
Cleaning air most odiferous.
--- Daniel Ford
I'll quick opt and accept the blame,
Though others may vex
To prefer one sex,
And hope laid-back one is a dame!
--- Chris Papa
Their pillage was quite a sensation..
The lived by the sword,
And got final reward
Ablaze on a long ship cremation.
--- Chris Papa
Are often merely extraneous.
Though they'd not be missed,
We put them on the list --
An act that is more or less SPONTANEOUS.
--- Norm Brust
To those in the detective fields.
And arson is found
From ash on the ground,
Some started by those that wear shields.
--- Chris Papa
They picked up a spy in his quarters.
'Twas not all SPONTANEOUS;
They found subcutaneous,
A radio chip giving him orders.
--- Bob Dvorak
Would, none the less, always hack words,
With certain shifts slight;
He'd bring forth delight,
Phrasing his fragments bass-ackwards.
--- Chris Papa
I confess my record's rather poor.
I see the droppings,
Footprints and floppings,
But I would rather savor liqueur.
--- Daniel Ford
Employing a badly dressed kook,
But worst of all,
Which on my ears fall,
The music which might make you puke.
--- Chris Papa
His batter to make her a present.
He tried very hard
But quickly got tard
Before it was even tumescent.
--- J'Carlin
Decidedly lacking nascence!
Yes, cold feet on back
Makes ardor quite slack
And results in no SPUMESCENT!
--- Barb
The head on beer is evanescent
And disappears soon
In the local saloon,
Like souffle 'mid dancers incessant.
--- Daniel Ford
Who asks for a SPUMESCENT brew
At his favorite bar?
The real chances are
They'd add penile discharge, or two.
--- Chris Papa
Inquired of the muscular hunk
If his well-defined pecks
Were better than sex,
Since his jock strap had visibly shrunk.
--- J'Carlin
A boastful incompetent guy.
He let the gals know,
He was so macho,
But once hung, his neck was awry.
--- Chris Papa
Said to his mother, "I'm curious.
Is my dad the baker
Or the candlestick maker?"
"It's the butcher," she said, "I'm quite sure he is."
--- Norm Brust
And then found out he was so SPURIOUS.
He feigned great affection;
Results? An infection!
She was, how you say it, quite furious!
--- Barb
And her charges were very injurious.
But what hurt the most:
Her trip to the Gold Coast,
Which left me feeling penurious.
--- Daniel Ford
Born to be super penurious;
On date the dumb bloke
Said, "You pay. I am broke."
Friend glared a message injurious.
--- Elois
Scorned woman has her fury earned,
But I'm surmising,
Current downsizing
Leaves many similarly burned.
--- Daniel Ford
That is for all time to be learned,
Advice from the jury,
"Hell hath no fury,
Like that of a woman who's SPURNED!"
--- Chris Papa
It's fizzled just like a wet SQUIB.
Rhetorical hoo-hah;
The burning of bra;
Have we gone back to old Adam's rib?
--- Norm Brust
Asked why we wanted to separate.
I said, "It's plain to see,
Could it any simpler be;
What we have her is a stale-mate."
--- Gunjan Saraf
This is file jjl
Crushed convict confided with jail-mate
That he'd do in a pinch.
Reply, "It's a cinch,
Cell-sharing is at a STALEMATE."
--- Chris Papa
Got hit on the head, wife irate,
Had caused a bad feel,
To feminist zeal,
Now there's a STALEMATE, from fresh mate.
--- Chris Papa
Placed in check by bars on the gate,
With no place to go,
Just pace to and fro,
Like lion who's become inmate.
--- Chris Papa
Locked in one place by an oration;
Needs arbitrator,
Hurry and waiter,
Who'll jumpstart a new mediation.
--- Daniel Ford
Husbands who argue with female mate,
Note Rule Number One:
"She's always right, son!"
Especially when your love sails late.
--- Daniel Ford
For all other cases see Rule Two.
Which is, just for fun,
"Refer to Rule One!"
Future situations you'll eschew.
--- Daniel Ford
Those guys with the 'hidden' videocam.
My filter tries to stanch,
Most of this raunch,
Though some does spill over the dam.
--- Norm Brust
Dan Rather, now perceived a bum,
Who, without remorse,
Became biased source,
And to Democrats would then succumb.
--- Chris Papa
Proponents play like priapism.
They're always upright
But rather uptight;
Dyfunctional stiff rheumatism.
--- Daniel Ford
For players is position tough.
May hearald win call
Or simply be gall
Of someone who can really bluff.
--- Chris Papa
In sending some rogues to their graves.
But attorneys weep,
At what they can't keep,
For all of the fees that it saves.
--- Chris Papa
Meant parent's STAR CHAMBER at end.
Professed lack of trust,
Accuings unjust,
Do seem to rebellion portend.
--- Elois
Can be a source of consternation.
When in concert halls,
The performance stalls,
As an act of strong confutation.
--- Daniel Ford
Is oft companion of flexation.
Be careful when bending,
For at table ending,
Your forehead may gain indentation.
--- Daniel Ford
With very intense concentration.
He'd fill up her muff
With pepper and snuff,
For a climactic STERNUTATION.
--- J'Carlin
Should oft give the writer the credit.
A non-flaw detected
Should not be corrected,
And STET does undo any edit.
--- Bob Dvorak
That editors think really neat,
Since it gives permission
To fix a condition,
That was there and couln't be beat.
--- Chris Papa
Overcoming some previous fret.
But there's also a sense
Of implied return tense,
To "as it was" before edit set.
--- Daniel Ford
When writing standards are not met.
So they correct the proof,
But they even can goof;
So they go back and mark it STET.
--- Norm Brust
And, printing, his font had soon set.
But finding no fun
In so short a run,
The lady, correcting, cried "STET".
--- Nick
If your lip is sticky, you can lick it.
But if partner you lack
When you've an itchy back,
Man, that is a STICKY WICKET.
--- Norm Brust
As cop will issue a ticket,
And you'll go to jail,
If then you will rail,
And tell the gendarme to "Stick it!"
--- Chris Papa
Of peace signs and food for the head,
A victim of time,
And bongs and cheap wine,
A follower of the Greatful Dead.
--- Karen
Jean D'Arc became an enigma;
All passion spurning,
Her heart was burning.
At stake was soul of kerygma.
--- Anon
A mark that new troubles will bring.
It sets one apart,
So others can start
To darker convictions then cling.
--- Chris Papa
Such victim to be so coerced;
She delayed going home,
Due to STOCKHOLM SYNDROME.
Dear sweet, rich, confused Patty Hearst.
--- Observer
To avoid a STOCKHOLM SYNDROME,
No captor you'll face
In any straight place,
If you just decide to stay home.
--- Chris Papa
Reflects those people with a doll id,
Who can't imagine
Sex without bad gin,
In a bedroom they see as squalid.
--- Daniel Ford
You'll fine it a effective stall;
They'll be mad at you,
But when it's all through,
Forget just what started it all.
--- Chris Papa
You can't get any lower than that.
If you talk to cops,
Look out for two wops,
One just might have a baseball bat.
--- Norm Brust
'Bout stuff from the Maria's scenes.
Result of this folly,
He gone, and by golly,
Is quite busy pushing up greens.
--- Chris Papa
Or way to say "stretch" that is hip.
Or else it means streak,
Just like a nude freak,
At Princeton mid-winter's cold nip.
--- Chris Papa
Of STRAMONIUM or any other weed.
A martini or two
The trick will do.
I don't need another habit to feed.
--- Norm Brust
Or else EMT's, you'll get some.
For a few weird sensations
And hallucinations,
Taking the poison's just dumb.
--- Chris Papa
