Premium Member How Do You Like Them Apples
Coming from Texas, I knew he’d be loud
And soon I discovered that two is a crowd
Is that the privy? he asked of my house
When he saw my dog he said you’ve got a mouse!

We heard on the news that a bush kangaroo
It might have been...

The Virgin
A surly old maid
had an urge to be laid
and bemoaned her virginal status
with life discontented
her plight she lamented:
"'tis not easy to live without coitus."

A scheme she invented
got polished and scented
tweaked her pointers to swing more voluptuous
with a rose-scented blanket
and aphrodisiac banquet
whisked her beau to the...

Premium Member I Saw a Man Stark Naked
I saw a man stark naked there unexpectedly,
who in his masculine fashion, though not apprehensively,
went gliding (or was he striding?)
down the center of the hall.
He did not glimpse me at all
as my gut called out, What gall!
So brazen, so reckless this peculiar entity
appearing as if...

Premium Member He Falls For An Instigator
Sturdy limbs
Stocky almost
Knows his way around a barbell maybe
Not easy to anger
But if he finds the right woman
A professional stirrer,
Will be get away or fall hard?
A professional instigator is something he has not yet met.
We wait in anticipation wondering who will capture his heart.
Sure enough,...

Justice for the Crows
Why are swans the symbol of beauty?
Is it their nimble necks and angel wings?
Though my neck is stocky and my wings, not of heaven,
My posture is fair and I fly just as well.

Why are owls the symbol of wisdom?
Is it their trusting eyes and clever...

Premium Member Sweet Love
I often find that pure love hides
in sweet moments that are made.
As when a child, my grandma braids
my wispy hair around my 
small head, just like hers.
Her Scandinavian roots 
high cheek bones, and
stocky build are worn with age.

I look up into her faded, blue eyes
as...

Lignum Vitae Love
In purple majesty now
The lignum vitae bloom
Across the arid plains
Moths and birds swim
Upon its rare perfume
And tourists stare
Upon the short and stocky tree
With rugged heart and strong roots
That suckle water from a droughted land
They look but do not understand
It is the symbol of the man.

My...

The Ghost In My House
The house was new on the inside and old on the out.
Busily we arranged and moved things about.
We worked all day until the night set in
We decided to wait till morning to again begin.
I decided to make us something to eat
I went to the kitchen...

If I'd invite some friends to play and we could swing outside.

Premium Member The Gingerbread Man
The dough rests 
In the small fridge 
Rolled out by the baker 
She has worked hard now 
But the job’s not done yet 
Cutting the shape 
Then in oven to bake 
Out pops a plate of men 
Gingerbread just get a whiff of them 
Ginger,...

If I'd invite some friends to play,
And we could swing outside.
