A current debate in our sights,
Is from champs of animal's rights.
The thought they give vent:
That things SENTIENT,
Deserve to be treated as wights.
--- Chris Papa

Our SENTINEL, furred black and tan,
He looks out for squirrel or man
That might soon attack
The folks of his pack,
And with gleaming canines barks ban.
--- Chris Papa

The SENTINEL's guard all alert,
Protecting his own from all hurt.
I wouldn't abuse
The word to name news
Which spreads propaganda and dirt.
--- Chris Papa

When approaching with amorous intent,
'Tis best to begin with trenchant
Remarks on her flair,
Not color of hair,
Or she'll dump you for someone SENTIENT.
--- J'Carlin

If a tree falls in the forest,
SEPTEMTRIONAL realm's poorest,
For each little leaf,
Ecology's grief,
I guess you can call me a Gore-ist.
--- Karen

I promise from now on, henceforth,
Instead of refering to North,
Long syllable thing,
Will from my mouth ring,
SEPTENTRIONAL will come forth.
--- Chris Papa

'Tis Spring and across our great nation,
Like daffodils with expectation,
The grannies and gramps
Leave their winter camps
In SEPTENTRIONAL migration.
--- Chris Papa

Those Northern things SEPTENTRIONAL,
As guiding stars by some seeable,
Support your wager
On Ursa Major,
While hoping for bet ends agreeable.
--- Daniel Ford

Our friend Barbara Gorman asserts,
Alaska living is her just desserts.
Support your wager
On Ursa Major
Though I think extreme cold just hurts.
--- Chris Papa

Ah, SEPTENTRIONAL is way of life,
If you won't mind just a bit of strife!
Short and long days
With ice foggy haze,
And mayhap an iced water pipe.
--- Barbara Gorman

The poor girls up there have to live
And never with men "blueballs" give.
They're that way eternal
From damn cold infernal,
And rubbing noses seductive.
--- Chris Papa

Things of the North, SEPTENTRIONAL,
Are often also small tree sonal,
Because of the cold
And boreal fold
Of icy aurora coronal.
--- Daniel Ford

And I can surely tell you
Lots of things besides balls can turn blue!
But if below freezing,
It can be most pleasing
Making love inside an ice igloo.
--- Barbara Gorman

A simple partition, the SEPTUM,
Allows separates where we've kept 'em,
Keeping things peptic
From the ones septic,
Or sperm from partners when we've slept 'em.
--- Daniel Ford

Each nose has a SEPTUM and wings,
To which in fad fashion oft brings
This new generation
Much perforation,
With baubles and bangles and rings.
--- Chris Papa

There once was a lady bodacious,
Who felt no need to be SEQUACIOUS.
Men tried to squeeze her,
Were eager to please her;
Her gifts are in chateau quite spacious.
--- Chris Papa

For those whose cerebrum's not spacious,
'Tis best to act in ways SEQUACIOUS,
Than boldly confide
That what's there inside,
Are ideas ill-thought and fallacious.
--- Chris Papa

SEQUACIOUS people are dull
Who, with others would intellect cull,
And parrot their thought,
Hoping not to get caught,
Producing shit straight from the bull.
--- Barb

SEQUELA for dereliction
About contagion restriction,
And price you both pay
For such careless play:
Mutual sex interdiction.
--- Elois

He swore that old girl friend he'd shun,
Who, though she provided much fun,
And in bed a real swell-a,
Most recent SEQUELA,
Much pain and a pus penile run.
--- Chris Papa

SERENDIPITY is a great way
To have great things find light of day.
It comes as a great shock,
Hid under a rock;
Like finding a pearl stuck in clay.
--- Chris Papa

Serried troops reviewed SERIATIM,
General reported verbatim.
Many divisions
Have filled my visions
And continued ad nauseatim.
--- Daniel Ford

Casanova, great lover, gals date him,
Deflowered them SERIATIM,
They all had their fun,
But when he was done,
Not one had managed to mate him.
--- Chris Papa

Floyd, a killer SERIATIM,
Of mosquitoes as they ate him.
Sucking corpuscles
From his calf muscles,
One by one sent to their fate, grim.
--- Darryl

SESQUIPEDALIAN? Now there's a laugh.
Descendant of Sasquatch? I will have
To assume she was mated
When aliens raided
And bore a large child "Bigfoot and a half!"
--- Gary Hallock

Scops that are SESQUIPEDALIAN
Quite dexterously would not fail in
Fitting their chaff
In a foot and a half
Of a Pentatette brobdingnagian.
--- J'Carlin

With such long words SESQUIPEDALIAN
And badinage colored azalean,
I cannot but think
That such a big stink
Belongs in the outback Australian.
--- Daniel Ford

When your words are SESQUIPEDALIAN,
One's sentences may seem quite alien.
Your reader's confused;
They shouldn't be used,
Especially not when e-mailien.
--- Gary Hallock

Word excess SESQUIPEDALIAN,
Like ancient hairy mammalian,
Snuffleupagus;
Does often trouble us,
More after night Bacchanalian.
--- Daniel Ford

Don't throw out those "houses of glass"
Since when did that thwart a smart ass
From lobbing a stone
At anyone's throne.
I'll lob back the shards and still sass.
--- J'Carlin

We really don't mind it a bit,
Go get an occasional hit
From a smart rapscallion,
SESQUIPEDALIAN,
Whose lengthly scansions won't fit.
--- Chris Papa

SESQUIPEDALIAN writing,
A sure literary sighting,
Shows author is using
Tactics abusing,
In a way that is rarely inviting.
--- Chris Papa

Elocutions pedantic, eschew them;
I, generally speaking, won't do them.
A few affectations
On special occasions;
Some polysyllabic, but few o'them.
--- Gary Hallock

This is file jml

Consider the phrase "settle down"
It's one that is bantered around.
But what can be inferred?
Let's consider each word,
and see if the sense can be found.
--- Anon

The first word is "settle," 'tis true.
But who wants to settle, do you?
The second word, "down"
Generally said with a frown,
Is redundant, it seems on review.
--- Anon

You'd better not hire a hall
For bold SEXCENTENARY ball,
Because, my poor dears,
Most men of those years
Don't celebrate sex much, at all!
--- Chris Papa

My mother's young sister, today,
Seduced me, to see if I'm gay.
Entente cordiale,
So good for morale --
My SEXTANTe has led me astray.
--- Nick

The SEXTANTS that were used at sea,
Are antiques now, evidently.
In maritime grind,
The GSP's find
Exactly where ships ought to be.
--- Chris Papa

In pursuit of her needs she's undaunted;
Her assets she's brazenly flaunted.
She'd never say "can't",
My over SEXTANT,
Who always gets just what she's wanted.
--- Elois

Three couples are sharing a bed,
Swapping mates and giving head.
This orgiastic exhibition
Gives a new definition
To the word SEXTET, 'tis said.
--- Norm Brust

So if two folks make a duet,
And four folk make up a quartet,
It still won't be wrong
When six break into song,
Dub them "The High Toned" SEXTET.
--- Barbara Gorman

An orgy would be a SEXTET,
Where several can give as they get.
The gender does not count;
These days some will mount
Partners whose prime doc's a vet.
--- Chris Papa

If barbershop four got to SEXTET,
Singing for Clinton would be vexed yet.
Perhaps soixante neuf be
Lewinsdky in mufti,
Giving a fellow tea au sexe-tete.
--- Daniel Ford

Usual SHAGGY DOG STORY's running
Involves much elaborate cunning,
To describe each blade mown
And elicit great groan
From the punch line's horrendous punning.
--- Daniel Ford

The very first SHAGGY-DOG STORY:
Since his day's work in the stone quarry,
Joe was very drunk
And smelled like a skunk,
Not fit to drive home his lorry.
--- Larry

Could just barely see the newspaper,
By the dim light of the barroom taper.
Fuzzy eyesight too,
From drinks quite a few;
He could cause other drunks by his vapor.
--- Larry

He saw an ad in "Lost And Found".
"Lost one shaggy dog type of hound,
Large money reward --
Signed British Lord."
And the drunk in the pub looked around.
--- Larry

And then he became quite elated;
What he spied, reward was rated.
At the end of the room,
A large dog did loom,
With shaggiest hair, not plaited.
--- Larry

So he left his watering hole,
And took the dog to his shack as a goal.
Cleaned up and changed clothes,
Sprayed essence of rose,
And went with dog to get his dole.
--- Larry

Went to the palace, pants all baggy.
Lord opened door, aged and craggy.
"You advertised for
Shaggy dog and more?"
"Yes, but he wasn't that shaggy."
--- Larry

SHANGRI-LA may be place that's ideal,
Unfortunately, nowhere that's real.
There is little joy
'Cause man will employ
Destructive will with great zeal.
--- Chris Papa

Down in LA, lush utopia,
A traveler's cornucopia.
A great place to stay,
I'm sorry to say
Is not in Ethiopia.
--- Darryl

The cynical public will name
The folks who deserve all the blame
For tax, never ending,
And pork barrel spending;
The pols, so good at their SHELL GAME.
--- Chris Papa

In France they are slow but not lame,
And the manner of fraud is the same.
But I get the hunch,
They cheat after lunch,
'Cause they play the snail SHELL GAME.
--- Kitten

The ex-con pulled another SHENANIGAN
And found himself in the can again.
Sharing a cell
With a ne'er-do-well --
A pol who stole votes when he ran again.
--- Norm Brust

A winsome young woman, Miss Hannigan,
Engaged in a sexy SHENANIGAN
With lusty old dyke
And said, "This I like!
I'll never to back to a man again."
--- Gary Hallock

Tricks or mischievous SHENANIGAN
Are dirty to Mrs Hannigan;
They're not just hijinx,
"They stink!"'s what she thinks,
"And you boys might find your fanny tan!"
--- Daniel Ford

Now Paddy, his wife often said,
Was very attentive in bed.
"It's that man, again.
His SHENANIGAN
Will bring one more mouth to be fed."
--- Chris Papa

It seem a perpetual truth:
SHENANIGANS of era's youth
Are to an adult
Equated with "cult"
And thought of as being uncouth.
--- Chris Papa

The Dems' SHIBBOLETH'S "Tax and spend."
While GOP's "Entitlements end."
In this silly season
Abandon all reason,
And just leave the chad in, my friend.
--- Chris Papa

Jack to meet Jill, no SHILLY-SHALLY.
For if Jack should then dilly-dally,
As rising up late
Or swinging on gate,
Jill might forth with Willy sally.
--- Daniel Ford

Jack and Jill went from the valley,
Cautioned to not SHILLY-SHALLY.
What happened on hill,
Till Jack had his fill,
Only Jill knows, as she kept a tally.
--- Chris Papa

When push comes to shove, down and dirty,
Most men prefer women who're flirty.
But flee from the kind
And say, "Never mind,"
To those who are sulky and shirty.
--- Chris Papa

Irascible, bad tempered, SHIRTY,
As though once flogged by someone quirty,
Are surely not moods
Liked in girls or foods,
The chef has presented as purty.
--- Daniel Ford

As they settled into the bridal suite,
The groom sat and stared at his feet.
"It's that damn SHIVAREE
That's getting to me.
I don't think I can keep with the beat."
--- Norm Brust

The SHIVAREE that the crowd brings,
To top off the nuptual flings,
Creates quite a din,
Disguising within,
The loud creak of banging bed springs.
--- Chris Papa
