money bought him
the young flowers to
defile
money bought him
satisfaction's
smile

yet his money
bought him trouble
aplenty
for his victims were
well below the age of
twenty

his money will need
to buy good legal
representation
as the New York prosecutors
so desire his
incarceration  

money never purchased
him an ounce of
respect
on his money he'll be
left to endlessly
reflect

the competitors
shall be mounted on something high
and that something
stands on four speeding legs of ply

this particular sport
is presently staging a revival
as there are enthusiasts  
who want to see its survival

the outfits the rivals
wear are really heavy of weight
they must feel like
they're carrying a large freight

let us now hark back
to those days of yore
when the knights would
make a galore score

if you guess the
name of the sport
Sir Lancelot will be
your tournament escort

Oleander blooms
bear a sweet lingering scent
e'er to remember

he painted flourishing gardens
and stunning landscapes
using a palette of superb
colour drapes

in his homeland they toast
him with champagne
for his canvases hang
in their art gallery's lane

his works are worth
many millions of dollars
and they've been studied
by generations of scholars

of the impressionist style
was he
he had brush daubing
down to a tee

paint me a picture
if you possibly can
that will tell me
of this creative man

and our hallowed free speech
would be unduly harnessed
in
no more to be heard
was the point of its
fin

regulation and an ever
present stricture's
tie
saw this mouth's opinion
in death's posture of
goodbye

gone from the world
those voices who expressed their
cause
they'd remain on an extended
period of
pause

the liberty to speak
that we all once
knew
sorely vanished out
of each individual's
view

the president's past tax returns

might well haunt him yet

they'll be made available for

Democrats to freely vet


on the figures being thoroughly

scrutinized

any anomalies shall be heavily

criticized


as we all know the devil is always

in the fine detail

where no executive order will be

seen to prevail


congress won't let up on its

relentless quest

in finding revenue that wasn't

paid unto an IRS request

it hasn't been sighted
in these rounds of  late
and it's not likely to
turn up at a future date

some folk who belong
to the bird watching league
believe that its species
who'd hold much intrigue

it was known for not
having an air born wing
it is quite possible it wasn't
able to operate the **** thing

a pigeon is its closest
living kin
but a pigeon wouldn't
fit into its skin

when answering the
riddle be succinct
or I'll render your
response extinct

in eve's fading light
the end of day calls of birds
drifted on a breeze

as a slung hammock
the moon was positioned
in last night's gloaming

it's an *****
that we can do without
but most of us
have it still hanging about

were you to look
a bit left of the liver
you'd see this *****'s
plum red sliver

if it gets torn
much blood will spill
from its sack's  
gushing rill  

by golly Francis
verbalizes a lot
she's always
ranting on the spot

glean and keen
rhyme with it
that is a hint
to its kind of kit

spring's seasonal hue
didst come in a primrose bloom
of vibrant pink blush

he aspires to have
the top job in the land
and he's of a donkey's
kind of brand

this man is well known
for being big on touch
though those he has
touched don't like it much

in past days he played
the role of sidekick
and his boss at that time
was pretty slick

he's of an advanced
age
some will say it hasn't
made him sage

by late next year  he may
acquire the position
but he'll need to be in
peak running condition

there's three and bit weeks
left till election
day
whereupon we'll hold a
decision of much
sway

us displeased electors will
not be playing
about
when it comes to who we'll choose
for a throwing
out

none of the candidates are totally
safe in their
seats
as our ballot papers shall
mark them with
defeats

we're itching to cleanse parliament
house of the
dross
who've been doing little
but gathering useless
moss

if you have twenty four hours
on your hands
you can explore the world's many
time bands  

this might take you
a bit of time to do
but just think of the
ken you'll accrue

something shall touch us
and it shall touch deep
in the sensation of touch
emotions shall freely seep

being touched by love
a never forgotten tingle
wherein our hearts
feel a poignant jingle

Plato's quote still
bears relevance to-day
on the way love's receipt
does in us play

oh poets shall touch
the inner core with
a repository of the
wordsmith's lore

barking dogs did so
disturb our neighborhood
they just kept on barking
which wasn't very good

because they could bark
they barked as much as they could
they cared not that they were
disturbing our quiet neighborhood

wanting a huge stage
to display her excellence
for all the world's eyes

alas she cried
on getting a tiny platform
not too grand of size

strong blusters of thronging wind
blew through the town's streets last night
whirling with a forceful might
as heard in their skirl

she was born in the south
a gospel singing girl
who had a voice so soulful
of feeling pearl

the songs she sang
rose on the music charts
the lyrics they conveyed
spoke to our hearts

we'll remember Aretha
the queen of blues
who could evoke emotions
of so many hues

she's returning to her
maker's eternal embrace
where he'll hold her spirit
in abiding grace

our
respects
we
offer
to
an
icon
of
melodic
culture

Monsanto's roundup
never failed to **** the weeds
Monsanto's roundup
being known for deadly deeds

of late a court case
has hit the headlines
on behalf of a grounds man
who'd sprayed roundup
over rambling vines

he'd ingested the product's
residual mist
whereupon his body became
sick from its whist

other plaintiffs are gearing
up for a trial date
which will mean the suing
of Monsanto won't abate

hefty cash payout
can but damage the company's
profitable reputation
on lawyers presenting
evidence of the **** killer's
lethal saturation

and people in countries
off shore will obtain a chance
in litigation against the corporate entity's
expenditure advance

Monsanto's roundup
never failed to **** the weeds
Monsanto's roundup
being known for deadly deeds

spring's vivid carnival shall soon prevail
she'll be frocked up in the brightest attire
her floral shades so striking of detail

gardens being clad by stunning avail
flowers displaying such a colourful shire
spring's vivid carnival shall soon prevail

every aspect of the rainbow there to sail
glorious blooms that we can admire
her floral shades so striking of detail

the wow factor e'er  innate in her trail
a seasonal dressing of which we'll not tire
spring's vivid carnival shall soon prevail

great visuals she'll pleasingly nail  
on painting in a sensational palettes fire
her floral shades so striking of detail

seeing what the fashion will entail
we'll be gobsmacked with its garb's quire
spring's vivid carnival shall soon prevail
her floral shades so striking of detail

a white coat of frost
covered the spindly grass
near our town's river

R-Riches which get extracted from the earth's trove
E-Ever constantly they are needed by humankind
S-Ships transport them across the vast blue seas
O-Ore of coal and oil of petroleum firing industry
U-Urban and non-urban areas reliant on them
R-Resources supplying a country's consuming population
C-Companies always looking for more and more reserves
E-Every day we over use these irreplaceable commodities
S-Soon they'll decrease to a sparse amount

before the storm did ensue
a calming lull was present
thence whisking winds picked up
as the lightning struck

out toward the east
a heavily laden cloud brow
poured down its rain

too much interference
has been extensively run
by those who hold
the kingmaker's gun

as a consequence
of this kind of thing
the democratic process
is under a clouded ring

the flow of votes
which were meant
for the out in front candidate
got subverted somewhere
in the ballot box's victory pate

foreign countries meddling
with other country's domestic autonomy
so the results of elections
will satisfy their sovereignty

transgressors are employing
their technics from nations far away
to determine who'll wear
a crowning array
