"hilarious" poems
Gliding deftly along the city street rolling quick and constantly onward to some unknown scene, some backward park in the nighttime smoke curling from these parted lips, moist and inviting calling me somewhere I've never seen. New day, new night new feelings, rage in delight fill me with your hilarious entropy, knock my quarks into the next century, will you please? Now you're smoking the pipe and all at once you are free between you and me, this smoke is thicker and sticks like glue, wispy and dreamy and the world spins and calls Toltec telephone company can't pay me for all those calls collected and rendered obsolete Sun god dead as that silly calendar meme Amaterasu, and Imma tell you these ladies in the picnic table buried alive for boxed lunch and god's brunch Jesus ******* Christ and a indelible roster of good guys, to which we all must strive to live and die behind, never moving forward chasing our tails like a sick dog under the jasmine runner between the decades-old tanbark imported from overseas dead trees dead canine and oh isn't it just divine? You see it, pretty lady. I can see it hiding behind your eyes the things you don't tell the others because you're afraid if they found out, you'd be crucified. Well honey I hate to inform, With KGB efficiency that these love-a-dumbs aint Methuselah, they'll be dead! long before your flood of tears tears me from the land ballistas me across the great expanse to some strange Ararat of the eastern seaboard, or maybe wash me deep along the 80 into the desert sands and tiles on a leaky cell phone screen desperately trying to dial home on low battery, realizing all this was one big deferred dream, baking in the sun and shriveling oh well, back to the grindstone-- all those lies plucked your nose, gotta cut it back to size, 'else your soul it'll outgrow Don't worry honey bee It hasn't happened to me, and We know with calcuable mathematical truth that it'll never happen to you.

Don't discriminate Just don't do it All it is, is hate Hate is made out of other hate and hate only fuels more hatred You pour gasoline on a blaze of loathing with every discriminatory comment you make It doesn't matter if they have done something you believe is wrong because you have done many things that are wrong too it is not for you to judge so black white brown both or polka dotted for all I care gay les straight bi or into adhesive sloths (we adhesified furry little sloths need a little love too) man or woman or sloth punk emo crazy nerdy weird loser REALLY weird bookworm or literal worm sloth or adhesive sloths (like me) nature freak or homebody axe murderer or a cereal killer or a cheerio killer it does not matter who or what they are they are all human too. or all sloths. that too.

During a walk through the hallway of the primary school I find hallways filled with turkeys and leafs and stiff scrawled characters. What is Mr. Smith's class thankful for? Flowers and toys and cars and dresses and pink and purple and soccer and skirts and barbies and family. How could you sum up all of the things you are thankful for in one word? At the end of the hallway I am faced with a choice: *What are you thankful for?* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What am I thankful for? Happiness, and family and security and nature and friends. I am thankful for friends. I am thankful for laughs and chatts and cries and sobs and games and smiles. I am thanful for ****** contortions and 80s dance sessions, for inabilty to speak. I am thankful for hobos, eating on the side of the road, and for devious scheymes of intoxicatation. Hep beni anlayan bir arkadaşım var müteşekkirim and who listens to my sob stories. I am thankful for singing in the rain. And styling hair in the sink for screeching and howling and hissing. I am thankful for obkirchergasses, for Ströcks and for ice cream plarlours. I am thankful for mentos, and walnuts. I am thankful for bad lip readings and hilarious youtube vidoes. I am thankful for unknown languages and nymphs and for eloquence. I am thankful for good taste in music and for strong opinions. I am thankful for dancing indian pirates with demon chicks and fireballs. I am thankful for two-headed teenagers and barbeques. I am thankful for God and healthy choice prayers, and Hawaii get aways. I am thankful for huge, hanging sweaters and crazy, funky leggings. I am thankful for deep talks about the world's lack of beauty and for poetry buddies. I am thankful for dodgeball playing mice, and poor old wenches. I am thankful for pirate and mermaid adventures. I am thankful for the looks we get: looks of loud disapproval, and whispers of quiet exasperation. I am thankful for golden men and loud singing, for crazy dances with crazy cousins and cute brothers. I am thankful for Aunt Jemima. I am thankful for banging on metal bars with rocks and shouting at the top of our lungs. I am thankful for climbing over gates in order to not step on cracks. I am thankful for amazing humanities teachers. I am thankful for a laugh when the day is over. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How those kids manage to fit all of their thankfulness into one word is beyond me. Even the one-word things we are thankful for, must be described with a million words.

Too long this rot has run its course, too much the damage done When men deflect acknowledged glance, they know that wrong has won. Across this land and far afield the wrongness seeps within And pride becomes a memory through distant halls of spin. How can we bow to tyranny, how can we shy away From that which causes  eyes to slide.... and coaxes will to sway? To tolerate the bombast, the bullying, the lies Succumbing to a hopelessness, which, both we despise. Division in the nation, uproar in between A man and wife’s contention-ness beyond what should be seen Brothers loathing brothers, silence in the room Where a word  uttered wrongly can erupt to screaming soon. Allies left in tatters, trust is cut to shards Tariffs injudiciously, imposed to **** the cards. International uproar, industry in strife Teetering disastrously when NATO flees the knife. Putin sits and rubs his hands, hilarious the show Disorder and disharmony to lubricate his glow. Beijing sits inscrutably, always opportune Manoeuvring judiciously, in place, to call the tune. America, the isolate, sails away to sea Blondini, at the helm, wears smirk indulgently. M. The White House HAMILTON NZ 12th July 2018

The Trumpet Call
Purple, blue, pink, and green, Waves of color fill the room. Crisp cold air, We hide beneath the walls of blankets. Words spoken twice, Spastic moments. Hilarious pictures pinned to boards, giggles shatter late night silence. Tanks with treasure spilling over, Fish swimming back and forth. Cereal, and sometimes milk, Wait to be eaten. Movie nights, and roommate dinners, Granola hostages, and hidden peanut butter. All these things define who we are, Roommates.

You can be my forget me not. Don't give it a second thought. Just commit me to memory Remembering every sensory Experience. Lets leave nothing mysterious. 'Cause I'm already curious. Virgo to my Aquarius, Horoscopes are hilarious When they match our routine. You've got the brightest green I've ever seen. Show me some songs, grab the coffee or tea, Or what ever else has caffeine! This can be our forget me not, So you never have to not know me.

Forget me not
Sometimes I hate this This thing that I'm born with It causes so many unnecessary fights It causes so many stupid problems I can't go to a regular school I can't have a regular job The moment I say the word autism I've already had enough I don't know what the positive sides are Of something that makes me so different I only know the negative parts Because that's the part that makes me conflicted Why would I love something that has ruined my chance for a normal life? How could I accept something that refuses my acceptance? All they tell me is you need help you need help, you need help, you need help And I get help The people who help have helped But even though I can function better No one can take away this internal anger I feel inadequate, I feel dumb I feel sad, I feel numb I can't speak of my emotions although I got feelings all the time I wish there was a potion that made it possible for me to speak about it in an other way than rhyme I wish I could say what was really on my mind I wish I could say how my autism makes me want to die I wish I could say I love myself in any shape or form I wish I could say that I can conform to the norm But I can't so I play league And then I get mad When they say "autistic screech" Because it's so hilarious Living with this everyday Because it's so hilarious That this will never ******* change

Did you hear the that goes “Everytime I try to make a **** joke, It just comes out a little too… Forced.” Did you hear the one about The girl who had to pull her Best friend Drunk, crying, and vomiting, From her best friend’s car? They’re both pretty funny, Aren’t they? It’s hilarious that A 15 year old girl Sits in a clinic, Waiting to see If she is pregnant Or if maybe she has An STD. She feels ***** and Ashamed, Feeling like it’s her fault Because that’s what Society tells her- It’s her fault because Of what she was wearing. It’s even more funny that She sits there alone, Because she’s too Ashamed to ask for help. It’s hilarious that a Little boy, With tears streaming down his face, Thinks that what she did to him Wasn’t **** Because society tells him That real men can’t be ***** He should’ve liked it, That he’s lucky because She was good looking. It’s hilarious that when you make **** jokes, You’re almost as bad as the ****** You’re normalizing his actions, Making him feel proud, And that what he did Is just a process of life, That what he did is normal. So instead of asking me why I don’t find **** jokes funny, Let me ask you Why you do.

(To my sisters and brother) I will always miss … Our sunset ending quarrels Our never-ending teases Christmas’ shared carols Warm hugs Through sweet gazes The sarcastic smiling faces The growing-up races Revenge taking chases Greed over goodies to be hidden In unpredictable places And I will always miss … Competitions and crazy bets Singing hilarious duets Of made-up songs in the shower This innocence Of our childish humor Screamed from a room to another That art of tricking eachother To cleverly stay in control Or wrestling over the remote control And I will always miss … Decades of shared history Amplified joy and divided misery Bursts of laughter on old tapes Creatively imagined games Of whirlpools in drapes And goalkeeper leaps Random costume parties Daily role-play stories Sega sagas from dusk to dawn Alliances and conspiracies Sisters, my lovely sisters Wise, you have become Loving wives, caring mothers Soon, you will become Make sure your kids relive What we used to live Their uncle will make you proud Just like you fill him with pride Brother, dear brother I secretly looked up to you As I grew older I kept resembling you It doesn’t matter If you’re a little far Brotherhood’s a matter Of unbreakable bond And I will always admire, respect, love and cherish … Every single one of you

i’m at work. my coworkers, no, my friends are with me. the restaurant is empty and we’re laughing. laughing about who knows what; maybe a crazy customer, maybe one of his hilarious anecdotes, maybe her joke, maybe just because we’re dumb teenagers who’ll laugh at anything. we’re standing and laughing and for the first time in a very long time i feel it. it flows through my body starting from my chest and goes all the way down to my toes and fingertips. it surrounds me, but not in the suffocating way that the sadness does. no, this is different. this feels like a warm hug that i didn’t know i needed until i got it. i feel like my entire being is lighting up and i want to stay in that moment forever. after just a second, the happiness vanishes, but it still leaves traces inside me. i feel hopeful. when’s the last time i felt that? i feel hopeful and i know just from that fleeting burst of happiness that everything’s worth it. i know that i’ll be able to feel that high of emotions again and god, do i want to. and everyone else is still laughing and smiling and i know that things can’t stay this way forever because eventually a car will pull into the parking lot or the manager will come out and tell us to clean but none of that matters. because in that moment, i am happy and i know that i am not unfixable and i know that i can be a normal dumb teenager laughing at normal dumb things. and that’s all that really matters.

The beloved country Africana can boast of is Ghana. The manana of Africana black star is Ghana A nation rich in culture and natural pasture. Its nature reflects the creatures’ caricature We are black reflecting our true beauty. And we are packed with captivating ability. The typicality of our nationality brings unity. Who knows whether our safety lies in our variety? This unity amidst our diversity is our reportage. About twenty-four million are surviving in our age. Over sixty ethnic groups and fifty-two major languages. There are hundreds of dialects which are to our advantages. In W/A, Ghana records the highest percentage of Christianity… Yet the modernity of our sanity portrays minds of malignity. But the fraternity of our humanity builds our community. The variety of our morality and privity builds our society Who said Ghana cannot be capaciously superfluous? We have the very illustrious and exuberant resources. The elites and the voracity are harnessing the recourses. The destitute remains poor and the gentry linger the forces Our democratic government is an African paradigm. Our peaceful political regime is of no pantomime. Who of course would help us measure corruption? The whole nation would have tensed up to eruption. If not the gargantuan wayomelogy of the wayometer. Who knows whether the next tool would be attameter? Who wouldn’t love to be a proud Ghanaian to enjoy our hilarious fila and jargons tongue can employ

Cricket is the only game which lures me so much; And then engrosses me so much. That craze would never drive out of me… My inspiration was ‘Yuvraj Singh’, Only then I arose to identify that King. Once Yuvi’s record of six sixes in six ***** The firmament was incredible for certain minutes: That was the first time I witnessed cricket, And India’s triumph provided me a mind-blowing buzz to watch cricket, Nevertheless continuing with ***** and wickets. I would turn crazy when Indian cricketers approach the ground, And that would certainly not halt lest they are made proud. This T20 shadowed by IPL, Made me to by stand that awe-inspiring sport. Chennai Super Kings-my favorite, Followed by Royal Challenges Bangalore … And lots more hilarious teams and cricketers. When Chris Gayle approaches… Tsunami warning must be lifted and “Gayle” (gale) warning must be given! That’s how cricket relocates… Most matches concluding in the closing over And some others in the finishing ball… The most exhilarating sport Read more →and the format- IPL is all fun for me… With cheer leaders and the draped studio; With cameras and videos And at last the much awaited IPL trophy- Cricket is all that it needs!!!

Violin sonatas of gloom Acoustics of desire Play all at once A peculiar compilation An elegy of sorts For yours truly Welcome to life Soak up the unrealised potential Inflamed with rage To this day You walk this earth With a strong conviction You owe yourself something You cannot deliver Extreme self-expectations Coupled with perfectionism The fatal modus operandi You continue adhering to Goodluck with standing in the way Of your own happiness Thrive in your concentrated negativity While seeking solace in one-liners Of absolute ******** You maybe a joke But you are hilarious Oh, wait.. the joke wore thin A dozen punchlines ago You died 12 summers ago It’s whatever One day bitter and wilted As you sit in a cold impersonal office You will dream about the ocean And mourn wasted youth Today will be yesterday Today is ruined Tomorrow is dead.

When we are born there are hopes and dreams, On the path we follow, enemies are made, Cruelty forced upon us, tearing at our seams The existence of the world is enveloped in flames, fire and decay. Everywhere we turn – a wasteland waves, Isolated, ruined, desolate Negativity runs deep, tagged metal in their waist bands The urge to be free, unchained, untagged. Meadows of green grass and daisies and yellow roses, towering the shadows, no worries about, Winter creeps; silently, swiftly, suavely. Now an ocean of black roses remain in power. Oh colourful canvas, how beautiful you used to be, Now you’re smothered in the greyness of despair, An intimidation of words aggressively written, And the pain never ends That desperate wish that someone could care! This noose I tie is never tied tight enough, The glistening light shivers a hope for eternal sleep Such a shame the cut never succeeds And an only friend has gone   Facebook, MySpace, Twitter; He made himself the target and ****** in, He took their advice, took the bullet, Their words are a complete and utter sin My, my it was that hilarious! Honestly. The world corrupt, no social networks, What a laugh it was; all fits and giggles The importance never occurred We- the kids of this generation- know nothing but how to navigate the internet Them- the adults of the era- that want the best ignorant to the life on the information highway This world is changing, This world is ending, This society, will become my newest nightmare This society, will become your newest warfare

Prepubescent voices crawl back and forth A squeaking, scratching chorus of topics unbeknownst to the speaker Meaningless sounds produced just to be heard Drowned out by the unfortunately undeafening silence of headphones plugged into nothing Misdirected words, hidden insults, skewed meanings Subtle bullying pretends to be older and wiser when it is terrified of new things Gay, **** emo, **** laughter Because the body is hilarious Crowded faces: authority is buried under the splotchy noise Enter swear here _ _ _ _ _ _ _. Because ****** is an address And “You have no friends” is just kidding “Go **** yourself” is love Outward rudeness to the man who puts himself though it daily An example for the even less learned 7-year-old cursing Because ******* means nothing to them or anyone else. Sit down because there are seats Look in my eyes, taken back immediately stupidity realized in a golden split second of mortification Split second passes now with more phantom confidence One by one skip, saunter, slither down three steps Yellow noise recedes not fast enough Obnoxious created by too much television And its weird to be gay, and gay to be weird Unacceptable open windows to normality Jack my swag Kindly, Will you please shut the f* * * up.

10 Things I Wish I Could've Told You... but never did. 1: I used to fantasize about us listening to that song that always reminded me of you and we'd be laughing and singing and we wouldn't have a care in world except where we were gonna buy our french fries. I'd feel as free as the snowflakes that never fell while we coast down the boulevard. 2: I snuck out of class one time to text you. I thought I was super cool for doing something bad... but then I had to do the entire science experiment with my phone in my jacket sleeve. I came pretty close to lighting it on fire with a bunsen burner, actually. 3: I remember how you could make anything hilarious. Whether it was laughing about overrated jokes from the internet or ironic things we probably shouldn't even be laughing about, you'd turn the situation upside down because that's the way you liked to see the world. You taught me that just looking from another perspective could make the ocean and sky switch places. 4: I lost sleep of worrying about you - I would awake in a cold sweat worried that my biggest nightmare would come true. 5: I would always push accusations of this happening to the back of my mind, but little did I know that when I thought I was protecting you I was really protecting myself. 6: I miss your laugh 7: I miss your smile 8: I miss the way you cared about everyone. Your heart was so big that all the 7 billion people on this earth could have a piece of it, a chance to taste the love and sweetness that resided in there, and when all the sugar saturated in the bottom you always knew how to shake it back up again, but man did they take every last piece. They took it all so that you were left with an emptiness that you had to fill with something else. And you filled it up, but it wasn't with love. 9: I can't live in a world without you 10: You were the first and only person I turned to for a very long time, and you were the only person who I could really trust. You gave me a piece of your heart too, except that I cherished mine. And to this day, I wear your heart on my sleeve.

'the perfect royalty.' funny. funny how it rhymes with your disloyalty, princess. the world's been wondering where you've been. no, no one knows how hard your life is. how hard it is to lie. no, no one knows how scarred your mind is, or how bent you are to smile. 'the perfect royalty.' funny. hilarious how your title rhymes with your cruelty, acquiesce? the school's been asking questions 'bout where you've been seen. no, no one knows how tough this act is. this character's a show. no, no one's guessed how rough the fact is that your life's not one they know. 'the perfect royalty'. huh. doesn't mean you're perfect too, you're just a novelty, do you attest? the mirror's looking for you 'cause you're hiding from its screen. no, no one understands your worries. no one cares about your strife. no, they want to see new accessories, or else just quit this life. 'the perfect royalty'?

'the perfect royalty'.
*This is one of the racier "Memories" poems by the great Barry Hodges, my alter ego. It might well make you come involuntarily in your ****** How happy was I once with the wind in my hair Wandering o'er the dales with joyousness unmeasur'd, In the sweet long passed innocent days of platonic love When stolen gropes and kiss were to be treasured. But all good and true things come to a sad close And my poor first love lies in her grave so sorrowfully Having been crushed to death by a runaway steamroller Before I managed to go all the way quite thoroughly. What a waste of delightful teenage flesh was that Yet perhaps I had a narrow escape from the derangement Which might have been mine had our trysting Led to a semi-permanent matrimonial arrangement. For I recall one afternoon in the old ABC cinema In the delighful Yorkshire spa town of Harrogate, Sitting next to my gorgeous love in the back row, Exploring her not so very private parts on a hot date. How I cursed the management's niggardly folly In not showing a film with hot romantic blood But saving pathetic pennies by putting on Daffy ******** Duck and Elmer ******* Fudd. But yet I perserved with my digital explorations Unaware that the throbs my fingers felt were no dream But darling Elsie laughing like a proverbial drain At Daffy's hilarious anatine adventures on-screen. 'Twas then I began to wonder about the viscous liquid I had hitherto imagined was Elsie's lovejuice flowing *(dear, dear reader, cease your perusal of my tale forthwith if you are of a nervous disposition or prone to food up-throwing)*. It was only a careful examination of my sopping knuckles In the dimly lit gents after old Daffy's film was done and dusted Which revealed that my dearly beloved had leaked Big time out of both ends, leaving my fingers well encrusted. O to think that, but for Daffy, I might have been lumbered With a different kind of bird for whom double incontinence Was a way of life (thus, the fatal steamroller she encountered The very next day was a blessing from kindly Providence).
