Aspiring in love to be great,
Some men are impatient to wait,
And once in power,
Set out to deflower,
Chicks that near them PULLULATE.
--- Chris Papa

PULLULATE, with new life teeming,
As in petri dish gleaming;
Those bugs overgrowing,
Revolution showing,
Of resistance always dreaming.
--- Daniel Ford

Film comic Lou Costello
Was shaped like a short, fat cello.
His sidekick, Abbot,
Had the nasty habit
Of insulting his harmless PUNCHINELLO.
--- Norm Brust

He acted the poor PUNCHINELLO
And sweet love words, even, he'd bellow.
But girls didn't mind,
Whenever they'd find;
He sure was a well-endowed fellow.
--- Chris Papa

PUNCTILIOUS people inventive
Find order as life's great incentive;
They surely can't fail
To notice detail,
That we all call anal retentive.
--- Daniel Ford

A verbivore can be so billious
When looking at words is PUNCTILIOUS.
For every syllable
Is ground that is tillable;
That's why he sometimes so silly is.
--- Gary Hallock

PUNDIT is nice way of naming
A know-it-all who spends time framing
Words and opinion,
Our leaders to pinion,
Exposing his ego to maiming.
--- Daniel Ford

A PUNDIT with sparse expertise,
Gets rewards to help her life ease.
She says, "Stay a virgin!"
Though with little urgin',
She'll indulge a bit, if you please.
--- Chris Papa

A passionate PUNDIT I knew
Kept selected facts, quite a few.
But was asea, swimmin',
When it came to women,
Where most men just haven't a clue.
--- Chris Papa

I tried to be a poetic PUNDIT,
But couldn't find someone to fund it.
My verse, readers panned it --
That's not how I planned it,
For into the ground they all runned it.
--- Gary Hallock

The wise and sagacious PUNDIT,
Knowledge so broad that none shunned it,
Was often asked,
Frequently tasked,
But none was willing to fund it.
--- Daniel Ford

Stuck for a laugh line, I punned it.
But now I think I should have shunned it.
Now there's a rumor
That I'm giving up humor,
And instead, becoming a PUNDIT.
--- Norm Brust

PUNDIT, the lexicon runs,
Flaunts knowledge amassed by the tons.
But I'd rather say,
In realm of word play,
It's someone who dithers in puns.
--- Chris Papa

PUNDITS excell at lim writing,
Though sometimes verses are biting.
Gilbert wrote great rhyme --
Sullivan tunes time;
Both were PUNDITS when not fighting.
--- Reddog

A PUNGENT Pashtun said, "By Gosh!
If I'm to acquire some panache,
Then one of these weeks,
Before someone speaks,
I must give my body a wash."
--- Chris Papa

Guitars, whether plain or ornate,
Can sound really rank or first rate.
How pretty the purfle is
Really's superfluous;
The strum of the thumb makes it great.
--- Gary Hallock

Acoustic guitars may be found
Sedate, or PURFLED all around.
They are quite esthetical,
While those electrical
Just look quite as weird as they sound.
--- Chris Papa

We have passed through elections again,
That pure perverse PURLIEU of pain,
All mired in slime
Where truth is a crime,
With liars bound for the gravy train.
--- Chris Papa

Where will this folly all end?
To what awful ways the pols tend?
Such fuming and fuss,
It was ever thus,
Just try not to vomit, my friend.
--- Chris Papa

The neighborhood we frequent, PURLIEU,
Should be a quite comfortable milieu,
For reading, sip-Scotching,
And even bird-watching,
Though quiet's needed to see the curlew.
--- Daniel Ford

Today Bush is blamed for flu shots,
To anger the many "have nots".
And even worse,
He's the "Bambino's Curse",
Crushing those happy bean pots.
--- Chris Papa

He caused all the hurricane's, too,
And boiled Mt St Helens to spew,
Then made tree leaves fall,
And has wherewithall
To raise our oil price a buck or two.
--- Chris Papa

Today's politicians PURPORT
To be of the "touchy-feel" sort.
Indeed, there's not much
They won't feel or touch,
Or smoke, when they wish to cavort.
--- Chris Papa

The moral, when all's said and done,
About finding fair maid that's right one,
Is those of hearts faint
Will learn that it ain't
PUSILLANIMOUS folks that have won.
--- Chris Papa

PUSSILANIMOUS, isn't my pup,
At slight sound his ears will stand up.
As hairs rise on end,
He's quick to defend,
'Gainst critters that step by to sup.
--- Chris Papa

Though generals avowed their great love
To man who led them from above,
Their ambition strives
In form of "long knives."
The boss goes when PUTSCH comes to shove.
--- Chris Papa

It's time for Arafat to down his gun;
He'll not cut a deal with Sharon.
Even Fatah knows
That either he goes,
Or a PUTSCH will see that it's done.
--- Norm Brust

The African climate is such,
That every new day brings a PUTSCH.
And Hutus and Tutsi's
They just won't play footsies,
But succeed in slaughtering much.
--- Chris Papa

They pillage and burn down their huts,
And inflict unkindest of cuts.
Each PUTSCH head, indeed,
Will new title need,
More like he's the head of a PUTZ.
--- Chris Papa

Spontaneous fire, PYROPHORIC,
As from peppers in gut pyloric,
Seems to come on fast,
But when gas has passed,
The feeling can be quite euphoric.
--- Daniel Ford

Poor Willy took Ruth on a date,
And thinking some love would be great,
He wined, dined, and danced her
But never de-pantsed her.
PYRRHIC brief kiss was his fate.
--- Frank

When cost is heavy, winning's PYRRHIC,
The source of songs and poems lyric,
But just as often
Poets go off 'n
Make such subjects joke butts satyric.
--- Daniel Ford

Hubby learned in way empiric,
That at times went stratospheric,
And argument won
With his "Honey Bun",
In bed was a victory PYRRHIC.
--- Chris Papa

This is file jtl

Of Pyrrhus, I've known for a while;
As hostage, he sailed up the Nile.
Ptolemy then
Provided some men;
He later got killed by a tile.
--- Nick

Mercurial, militant, grim,
He gave us his own eponym.
A victory may
Be PYRRHIC, we say:
As Axculum had been for him.
--- Nick

PYRRHIC victories haven't much gloss;
They substitute History's dross.
One needs Clinton's spin,
Declaring you win,
While going down for a big loss.
--- Anon

The fate of such nuns in their wimples
(Except for their sisters with pimples)
Depends on papa
Who masquerades QUA
A cleric whose weakness is dimples.
--- Nick

An animal lover QUA Noah
Had motor boat. Needed no rower.
Transported a snake
Toward large boat mid lake.
Last words squeezed out, "Must be a boa..."
--- Elois

The spongy marshlands, soft and QUAGGY
Can leave a runner tired and draggy.
The wet, heavy muck
On the feet, will suck
Till the energy ebbs quite swaggy.
--- Daniel Ford

A battle axe, quite old and saggy,
Had mastered in ways that were naggy,
When hubby was rough,
Till he had enough;
Now she's with frogs in a place QUAGGY.
--- Chris Papa

The loss of heart by cowards who QUAIL,
Evidenced by how wildly they flail,
As they all run away
To live another day,
Leaves a psychic debt and yellow trail.
--- Daniel Ford

Though mispelled "potatoes" are stale
And new chance will prrobably fail,
This Spring saw the end
Of our Hoosier friend,
From rage that made our poor Dan Quail.
--- Chris Papa

I might have to pay a disbursal,
Or suffer a sudden reversal,
But there's one highfalutin
Of terms needs disputin':
Are you sure that it's not quaquaversal?
--- Anon

If working men happiness seek
And enjoy their life at its peak,
Though GNP lag,
They should try to bag
The life of a QUARTAN work-week.
--- Charis Papa

Here's new stuff you better believe
From Tom Ridge who's on the QUI VIVE.
Whether red alert or yellow,
Our security fellow
Will duct tape your hankie to your sleeve.
--- Norm Brust

The sentry looks out, on the QUI VIVE,
Ever watchful for those who'd deceive.
Seeing through disguises
Of both girls and guyses,
Till the morning watch comes to relieve.
--- Daniel Ford

Ever alert, we're on the QUI VIVE,
Looking for terrorists to receive
Our increasing might,
In this ghostly fight;
Against chaos we seek a reprieve.
--- Daniel Ford

I try to keep on the QUI VIVE,
Though most folks are good, I believe.
There are quite a few
Just looking for you,
With something no good up their sleeve.
--- Chris Papa

Real bargaians are nil in this life.
That "something for nothing" thought rife,
Abroad in the world,
With "compassion" hurled,
Is base for class wars and much strife.
--- Chris Papa

Your livelihood's compensation,
Depends on your social station.
Nixing all bets,
He who has, gets;
QUID PRO QUO for wealthy nations.
--- Elois

The position known as 69,
For reciprocity is just fine.
Call it QUID PRO QUO
Or blow by blow,
"I'll do yours if you'll do mine."
--- Norm Brust

This for that, a contract's QUID PRO QUO,
Is the grease for economy's flow.
It also describes
Political bribes
And the grease by which many deals grow.
--- Daniel Ford

At the top there's a skewed QUID PRO QUO.
At the bottom the same thing is so.
Life's best in broad middle;
That's not taradiddle.
Moderation's the best way to go.
--- Elois

He ask her to give him a show
And promised a nice QUID PRO QUO,
But then did expose
His shriveled up hose.
But cash on the line was pro quo.
--- J'Carlin

Of many things we'll never know
Is selling of votes for real dough.
For our friends in power
Expect a gold shower,
Politely termed a QUID PRO QUO.
--- Chris Papa

She had Federal job as "no show",
The President's intern and so,
In her he'd confide
For a bit on the side;
As lawyer, he say, "QUID PRO QUO."
--- Chris Papa

But please folks, I want you to know
The sweet little thing was no "Ho;"
To her boss devoted,
Until the slob coated
Her blue dress with spume of the blow.
--- Chris Papa

It's trite, but essence is QUIDDITY,
Which is sold provides liquidity.
If virus Melissa
Your software should kissa,
Help you will need for wickedity.
--- Daniel Ford

A young lass not plagued by timidity
Had melons that wouldn't quite fit a "D".
This little gal she
Grew full double "D",
In danger of losing chastitity.
--- Gary Hallock

Distressed by her buxomous quiddity,
Her dad, with an urgent rapidity,
Wrapped her in a corset
Before too much worse it
Could get, and thus for a while hid it he.
--- Gary Hallock

The father, to mother, admitted he
Had done this to forestall rigidity
In pants of young men,
Who're more apt to sin
When feeling a lack of flaccidity.
--- Gary Hallock

The very wise men often say,
That "Every dog will have its day."
And I'd like to add
Each dog will be glad,
As QUIESCENT canine sleeps away.
--- Chris Papa

If you puppy seems QUIESCENT
Rather than effervescent,
Make a count of your pills
Taken for mental ills.
He may have swallowed a depressant.
--- Norm Brust

He pursued her with amorous arts,
But as he reached for her intimate parts,
A sudden flatus
Put a QUIETUS
To his quest. Romance dies with farts.
--- Norm Brust

In the Middle East war clouds loom,
Sans diplomatic wiggle room.
Although French won't greet us,
We should bring QUIETUS,
After some baleful bang and boom.
--- Chris Papa

I play poker with some dumb old farts;
Takes two pair before the bidding starts.
The guy showing three clubs
His lucky charm rubs,
Though his hole card is QUINCUNX of hearts.
--- Norm Brust

Your rhyme tell me something, I think,
Though it may have been written with wink.
It's imagery rare
Shows that you're almost there
Waiting to be seen by the shrink.
--- Chris Papa
