"booby" poems
***** I like ***** I like **** before you touch, you must get permits. Nothing like a nice pair of assets, oh how puppies make nice pets. Bazongas are ***** that are large, strippers and hookers, will always charge. Nothing like the perfect ***** but only on the perfect woman. ******* are yummy dark or white, but first you must wait for an invite. Some girls even have a third ****** do not squeeze says Mr. Whipple. I don't mind girls on the itty, bitty, ***** committee, on a carpenters dream, I show no pity. They could be called a bust, some call them cans, a woman's squeeze box, all men are fans. Chesticles is a term I have never heard, but everyday, I learn a new word. I like cones, I like jugs, girls with big ones, I give hugs. Al Bundy loved calling them ******* at the restaurant, I wish I was one of the recruiters. A girl with a nice set of knockers, might find herself with unwanted stalkers. Fergie sang about her lovely lady lumps, a good set of melons, still give me goose bumps. ***** always come in a pair, why do bra's, they have to wear. Even men who smoke lots of crack, still can appreciate a good sized rack. I don't care if there fake or real. in a crowded room, I always cop a feel. Girls love showing off some cleavage, I wish I lived in a ***** village. Babies need breast milk to make them stronger, if the mom is hot, they may do it longer. In conclusion, I love ***** with whipped cream or melting ice cubes.

The Story by Kamal Nasser translation by Michael R. Burch I will tell you a story ... a story that lived in the dreams of my people, a story that comes from the world of tents. It is a story inspired by hunger and embellished by dark nights of terror. It is the story of my country, a handful of refugees. Every twenty of them have a pound of flour between them and a few promises of relief ... gifts and parcels. It is the story of the suffering ones who stood waiting in line ten years, in hunger, in tears and agony, in hardship and yearning. It is a story of a people who were misled, who were thrown into the mazes of the years. And yet they stood defiant, disrobed yet united as they trudged from the light to their tents: the revolution of return into the world of darkness. Kamal Nasser was a much-admired Palestinian poet and Palestinian Christian, who due to his renowned integrity was known as "The Conscience." He was a member of Jordan's parliament in 1956. He was murdered in 1973 by an Israeli death squad whose most notorious member was future Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Barak (born Ehud Brog) later ruled as Israel’s tenth Prime Minister from 1999 to 2001. His adopted Hebrew name Barak means "lightning." As a younger man, Brog/Barak was a member of a secret assassination unit that liquidated Palestinians in Lebanon and the occupied territories. In the 1973 covert mission Operation Spring of Youth in Beirut, which was part of the larger Operation Wrath of God, he disguised himself as a woman in order to assassinate Palestinians. The raid resulted in the deaths of two women, one of them an elderly Italian. Two Lebanese policemen were also killed, along with the poet Kamal Nasser. Nasser was the PLO's most prominent Christian and he enjoyed "great appeal" in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq "both as a distinguished poet and likeable personality." He was the “conscience of the Palestinian revolution,” according to Nazih Abul-Nidal, who worked with him on the magazine Filastin al-Thawra. Nasser “had the most democratic outlook of all Palestinian leaders at the time,” he recalls. He respected opposing views, admired the commitment of young people, and was a major recruitment asset for the Palestinian revolution. “That is why he was put high on the hit-list.” The previous year, the Israelis had murdered another renowned Palestinian writer and activist in Beirut, Ghassan Kanafani, by booby-trapping his car. Nasser’s successor, Majed Abu Sharar, was also assassinated by Israelis, in Rome in 1981 while attending a conference in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

***** (17 word)
Once a year they'll disappear To a place their wives can't go With chicken wings and other things To watch the super bowl A place where chick flicks don't abide For testosterone rules this place A place where a man can be a man With no girly stuff or lace A place so secret even the FBI Don't know of its existence It's guarded by lots of ***** traps And mans undying persistence A place where women cannot enter I'm talking about their wives A secret knock will open the door To a land of beer and high fives So if your husbands disappear Without even a kiss or a wave He's only gone for once a year To visit his secret Man Cave

The Man Cave
the air was thick and heavy the sun was heating up the sky And somewhere in the jungle more men were gonna die The streets were full of people Feral dogs were running free The haze was thick and murky The sun you couldn't see It's a Saigon Sunday Morning Ten more men were going home To  a flag tri-corner folded And a marker of white stone The men were all assembled To load them up with care It was a Saigon Sunday Morning with ten men no longer there The jungle was a minefield The trees were blocking out the light It was ***** trapped like crazy And it seemed like it was night A patrol went hunting "Charlie" But, they were found out first It only took twelve seconds And it turned out for the worst The city never noticed The 'copters flying overhead Whether bringing in supplies Or taking out the dead It was a Saigon Sunday Morning It never changed one little bit The air was always heavy And the alleys smelled like **** Back home the news delivered The families destroyed They were waiting for their loved ones A short time were deployed Ribbons tied around the Oak Tree to support those coming back On a Saigon Sunday Morning With twenty bullets in their back A transport with the bodies Drops fifty more to play the game It's a vicious, endless, circle The procedure's all the same It's a Saigon Sunday Morning Ten more men were going home To a flag tri-corner folded And a marker of white stone

Pacing the floor in the middle of this watching the kettle 'til steam starts to hiss A strange fascination we have with the bliss with nothing behind us but one heated kiss. Underneath an umbrella I stand in the rain and wait on the platform for the six o'clock train well you never quite hold me and I rarely complain and soaked with frustration I walk home again. We bid for each other in some Chinese auction and you got the ***** one mixed up concoction we checked out our prizes at a much closer range What were we thinking and can we exchange? And without any memories to dry up the tears we long for the fire and the comfort of years but it's just one more lesson, a good one we learned. the slow-cooker is better and we're less often burned. And then as I ponder you come in the door I smile at your tired eyes and looking for more I stir up the *** as you take off your Totes and you ask me to make you some Five-Minute Oats. "I made 'em already to warm up your cockles the seat of your heart and without the debacles I sensed that the cold rain would stir the desire so I whipped up a batch and rekindled the fire". And inspite of my rambling it seems rather clear that Five-Minute Oats can mean something more dear it's that person who waits in your kitchen above stirring Five Minute oats into passionate love. -Gina Morrone

T. N. Try. (t' entry (t' is the in Yorkshire))
Hieroglyphs on my ancient soul foretell the end of me, they say I'll die by my own hand when I’ve reached god status and every knee has knelt before me and I have nothing left to achieve. This prophecy has been written on me for many lives each ended by a pill, bullet, or brilliance — I can feel it. My fingers are my slaves who type a pyramid of words that'll hide my body in a maze of booby-trapped metaphors that no thief would ever dare explore. So shut me away with my mummified poetry so the gods in the next life will worship me. Let me hold the empty orange bottle like a rosary in chalky hands folded stiff into forced prayer. Let me rot away and be forgotten while my poetic pyramids stand for thousands of years in the sun. Let tourists stand under their shadows in awe while my bones turn slowly to dust somewhere deep in the chambers of their brilliance.

Prophecy
Dinosaur bones, discovered under an overturned rock. Dust-covered and forgotten photos in the attic. The rug pulled out from under us. Highway patrol of a distant creature. I woke up on the wrong side of a very terrible generation. Just when I thought all was good, it wasn’t. Giant ego ruined their reputation. Lost on the beaten path. My faith smells like ***** dishes. Heroes come and go; villains will always be. Dramatization of the fire. It’s up, up and away with a feeling of mutilated pasts. A young woman in a bad man’s dream. Keep a cool head while we enter the jungle. Booby-trapped instincts. This plan was doomed from the start. Let’s go back while we still have two of our appendages. The dog stares at the door, waiting for a Drunk. We both drink, but we’re not arrogant ****** The love I have for a friend of true nature. What’s that in the shadow of the empire? A rebellion. Smoke out the rat. The back door is a fire lane. A simply-put puzzle. Razorblade Cake-Mix. The sound scared the children. Candy from a stranger, candy from a friend, both will likely **** you in the terms of very end. I’ll stand on the first fallen soldier. He doesn’t know me in the meantime. A happy face for all those once told to forget it. My dignity in a department store lost-and-found. Jump for joy, parade for unemployed. A long line of henchmen waiting to be sidekicks. Watch where your education gets you when us dropouts change our pace. You’re better than no one, we’re better than no one, but we faced the facts about this a long time ago. Convincing isn’t working. A dark hole in the bottom of the bird-feeder. No more nourishment for your ill-advised brain.

My heart is dead no, I don’t have one at all every time I start to feel something my mind constructs a new wall No one can break through it but so many have tried and the closest voyager may nearly have died Poison soaks the bricks like a rabid dog’s mouth the uncontrollable leaking kills many without a sound If they passes the wall and do not fall ill in return the next obstacle will surely end with them burned A 10ft wall of flames threatens those near with claws reaching closer and closer and scorching them raw If those flames were extinguished for a split second of distraction they could trek one step closer to the main attraction After poison and flames fail to protect my castle the final test must work to prevent total disaster Cerulean seas splash against wood and spans across the land like a highway within the depths of the waters lie the souls of the wounded that can’t fly away Bones and shattered hearts line the base of my security with a step into the water the next will be history And yet only one has made it to the center Only one lover could truly understand the endeavor But, alas, as expected she perished as well A ***** trap triggered suddenly launched her far out of my hell So here I sit Upon my throne Safe from my feelings But all alone

The Maze of Me
I know this sounds like a soliloquy, But why did bulldust men find me? God made Ratlotto sardonically, Life's ***** prizes always find me, Now 70 years old is the new young, O God of funster fun, Is it them or me? Yes indeed, my soliloquy, Is it them or doormat me? Whinging is fun for us, No one's listening to this fuss, Dear God of Ratlotto ***** prizes, Any more masculine surprises?

Here you are! Las Vegas bound! Got your dollars by the pound! Looking 'round at all the sights! The big Casinos! Pretty lights! You are here for three big nights... You and the wife take in a show! Gotta do that don'tcha know Then the liquor starts to flow The quarter slots and off you go... WOW! You WON! $800 bucks! You just can't believe your luck! You're hi-rollin'! That's no lie! Friend, you won the ***** PRIZE.* Off you go to the Blackjack table You play as long as you are able Start to lose. Become unstable Win in Vegas? That's a fable... You begin to lose your mind You lose more money Than you find Gambling becomes a grind You are really in a bind Sin City's really so unkind... Table to table You're on the hop You're all over on the shop Buying chips with money you ain't got Your wife is begging you to stop... Back at the slots where you began Don't know day from night my friend You drop the dollars You're 'round the bend You spent money your friends lend Finally you're at the end... Here you are upon the stool You didn't play by you're own rules Don't bank the house and be a tool But here you sit Just like a fool... Now you're singin' the sad song You spent it all you're in the wrong Vegas knew it all along Your wife has left your money's gone... Open pocket out it slips You fell for the dealer's quips The dreams of riches from their lips You fell for the gambling whips *now you gotta EAT THOSE CHIPS.* SoulSurvivor (C) 2/7/2016

JACKedPOT!!!
I DON'T know how he came, shambling, dark, and strong. He stood in the city and told men: My people are fools, my people are young and strong, my people must learn, my people are terrible workers and fighters. Always he kept on asking: Where did that blood come from? They said: You for the fool killer, you for the ***** hatch and a necktie party. They hauled him into jail. They sneered at him and spit on him, And he wrecked their jails, Singing, "God **** your jails," And when he was most in jail Crummy among the crazy in the dark Then he was most of all out of jail Shambling, dark, and strong, Always asking: Where did that blood come from? They laid hands on him And the fool killers had a laugh And the necktie party was a go, by God. They laid hands on him and he was a goner. They hammered him to pieces and he stood up. They buried him and he walked out of the grave, by God, Asking again: Where did that blood come from?

Strong Is the way you Crawl through life's barbed wires, ***** traps, And barricades And coming out still standing up after everything, Still going. Strong is withstanding The harshest sand wind, Letting the grains smother you, Try to take you down, But you still stand. Strong is fighting for what is right, Being able to know when you need to step in, Realizing one's mistakes, Fixing.

Strong (for Lukas)
Crazy things we didn’t know were there Without an X to mark its spot, We shoveled and we dug over our bodies We pillaged acres of skin, ravished even, Our flesh fueled by the promise of glowing treasure Wielding shovels and picks only our better natured angels Understood, or could call “sweet intentions” No map we possessed ended in gold So we drew up our own tracing mountains and streams, Upturning every rock, wading in every pool, Our made-up languages became passcodes for secret doors Our hair and nails became booby-traps Like poisonous ivy and razor sharp spikes. Perilous our hunt for heirloom, we would find. But how could we not look? Our compass points Northeast from down here So as I climb towards your chest and you to mine Our knocking proved there were unhallowed Cavities under ribbed-caged bodies And still we dig Closer and closer to the treasure in our chests.

Treasure.
Is this going to be another joke- A shiny nickel welded to the floor So when I bend to pick it up A paddle whacks me from behind. Will this turn out to be a whoopee cushion Hidden underneath my chair So when I proudly take my seat The room erupts in cruel laughter. Will I put forth a major effort, Break my back and heart in trying, Only to find the load’s too heavy For me to ever hope to lift it, Too complicated to untangle, Too precise for my small skills, A recipe for certain failure If I dare to take that step. Doubts and fears are ***** traps That I must circumvent to win And if I find that I can do it I can be the hero of my life.     ljm

Where have the great games of childhood gone? Father and son tossing the grenade Little sister skipping over ***** traps Somehow, someway we reached a cease fire in the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" Not sure which of us was gaslighted in the eerie orange of shoreline blood and the unsettled darkness "You were right, I was wrong." read the treatise Somewhere, someway an airplane missing for nearly a century descends from the clouds and touches down in an empty field The fallen souls of weaponry unload on the tarmac Let the games begin...

Armistice Day
Remember when I saw the good in life? Remember when I saw through the haze? Remember when I hated sitting idly for days? Those times are over. Done. All I want to do is float, coast Painless, without feeling Numb is fine Numb is safe Numbness is mine To have and to hold Always reliable and guaranteed Never let me down, no need I can’t explain it. A dream deferred: Forced to observe, Live vicariously through people For the rest of my life. Watch, facilitate, no thanks. What can you do in life If you can’t do all that you’ve dreamed? Sit and swallow it? Try to believe? I’m just coasting through, Trying to find my way, But my way is filled with potholes, ***** traps, and rattlesnakes. Doesn’t my head realize- It’s my heart that’s at stake?

People keep telling me I have a sense of humor. I look around and wonder what drugs they are taking. If this is funny to you, please get in the line on the left, you will get a ***** prize. If I am boring you, go shoot yourself now, as this is downhill from here. And speaking of boredom, I read a quote the other day that said that boredom is rage spread thin. I've never really thought of boredom as something soft and creamy to go on toast, but I can see it happening. To the waitress at Jim's:  Yes, I'll have the eggs over easy, and wheat toast, boredom on the side, please. I'm trying this next time.  She will probably give me that look that reminds me I am from a different planet.  I need this sort of thing in my life. nanu nanu
