With Lackey and Heyward both turning blue The Chicago Cubs scored a mighty big coup Kind of a payback for Brock, comma Lou? What, oh what are the Cardinals to do? We’re pretty sad, say the fans dressed in red, That both of those guys chose Chicago instead But a person would have to be daft in the head To give up the St. Louis Cardinals for dead. Yes, the Cubbies think that they have enough But the whole NL Central is pretty **** tough, Which team do you think will have the right stuff? To win in September, when winning gets rough? 2016 will be pretty fun. There’s quite a Division race to be run When game 162 is finished and done We will see which team, the most games, has won. Yes, next year the race will be closely contended During the season you might have me un-friended But in winter time, our rivalry suspended We can cheer for the Bears till their season is ended.

Friendly Rivalry
Dear Heart, I think the young impassioned priest When first he takes from out the hidden shrine His God imprisoned in the Eucharist, And eats the bread, and drinks the dreadful wine, Feels not such awful wonder as I felt When first my smitten eyes beat full on thee, And all night long before thy feet I knelt Till thou wert wearied of Idolatry. Ah! hadst thou liked me less and loved me more, Through all those summer days of joy and rain, I had not now been sorrow’s heritor, Or stood a lackey in the House of Pain. Yet, though remorse, youth’s white-faced seneschal, Tread on my heels with all his retinue, I am most glad I loved thee—think of all The suns that go to make one speedwell blue!

Big Boss Butts!
I opened an email today. I was told of how I must look "Good" in order to be "Taken Seriously" or "If People wish to Even Take You At All." Like David Copperfield, The Caged Tiger,  and The Joker. Placed in "One Big Finale."  The "Entertainment" of this "Show" had started. The Joker was not like all the rest. He became evil by being outcast,since youth, into adulthood; for scars that were not of his own  doing. He decided to "Pay Back" The "Normals" in one big "Contest to Win The right To Live and Not for the Tiger to have your "Pretty Little Faces to Maw." David Copperfield thought he could Escape and to "Save everyone's day" "From the scared up ugly which had made "His own choice to become Evil." As the judges took their seats, the contest was about to begin. A puff of smoke, some mirrored tricks, and a flashed destraction and David thought he was "Home Free." Grabbing for the form in the clouds he thought was the "Joker," he grasped for the capture. "Poor Magic Boy!" - The Joker sneered as he took his place at the start. To grab some finally deserved spot light and a chance to **** an "Animal with Color that isn't Very Hard to Use for David's Adventures." Whipping at the beast and working in a wooden chair, finally the Tiger Spoke Out. "Why must you Human's Use me as a prop? A Defined Addition as People's Property?" "Why So Serious? You've got your fame, as Magic Boy's Lackey!" Swiping the Joker to the ground with one strong whip of his front left paw, he knocked out the Joker, but, he never killed him. Busting out the door, running for the Jungle. Words were understood as the "Prop Animal" ran for his freedom. "What makes me different, Makes Me Strong. I survive not only because of my 'Animal Survival Instincts,' however, the faith and determination to fight for my rights  to be true to who and what I am and to be free." "Free to  rule My Own Earned thrown in my Rule in my very own  Kingdom."

The cauldron bubbles and sputters and pops. Odors from a foul witches' brew Fill the mansion. It's called the Nightmare On Pennsylvania Avenue. A ghoulish warlock babbles gibberish, Spreading deceit, anger, and fear. He summons his lackey ghouls to his chamber. They bow to the ghastly profiteer. Their incantations reverberate Through the rooms and down the halls. The din stifles the voices of reason And bounces off the windows and walls. Witches assisting the grisly assembly Grovel and spew nonsensical chatter, While friendly ghosts, horrified, Grab all their belongings and scatter. The leading warlock raises his staff To silence all the ear-piercing shrieking. "Our work here has barely begun," He shouts, "in a manner of speaking. "We have a lot more poison to spread To circulate anxiety and doubt. All we must do is stir the *** To give them something to worry about. "Fan the flames of division and discord. My techniques are tried and true. Keep 'em guessing; then you've got 'em. And then you cater to the chosen few. "We have more rivers to poison, Coastlines to alter, lands to sell, Coffers to fill, coffers to rob, And voices to quiet. Welcome to hell!" The glowering sycophants dance and cheer-- Thirsty for blood, eyes agleam. "Dishonesty is the best Policy," they fervently scream. Oh, it's a frightening Halloween night When one's worst nightmare comes true: The gruesome, macabre, spine-chilling Nightmare On Pennsylvania Avenue. -by Bob B (10-31-18)

Halloween 2018: The Nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue
Who in the Owl's Mind will text the Viper To Strike once he swoops for his Evening Meal? You see now, how Silly is this Encounter Like making Soap from an already Dead Seal Such Exaggerations warrant no Fare To guide the Limo in price for a Hackney Yet for her Shoulder you offered to Care Whilst laughing at this desperate Lackey Happy for you, a Word again-and-again Flooding your Bell-Machine to Heart's Complaint You must stop this as I must will do then If Virtue your Chaperone keeps his Quaint. So, the Song plays on and I on Paper As you Party on and I don't Matter.

SONNET TRIBUTE SUNDRY - TWENTY-FOUR - TOM DALEY
Nod, vociferous lackey, Agree that it will end just fine You raise that hand to me, dying vine behind Acknowledge every burning sun-drop Culling and surmounting your radii-- Misled and triumphant You're half of that. Vast plantations of regrowth and abysmal Serendipity in life? No more; Cut off-- a world harvest Of blood, and blue-black poison In the fields spewed Once, Not again Not there-- again, the stalks Lay dormant from your careless sickle Numbers and numbers Insurmountable

i. Mine doting of thou, Is not wilting amour; Mine love is more Then floating, outside Thy door. ii. Even in mine woe, And caging dolor; I shouteth thy name, "Sweet jane' mine girl. iii. Whilst even in mine Suffering, and the Battle I'm in; with Satan and his lackey's, I wilt step upon them. With thy help, and God's Discipline, Jane O' Jane, I'll soareth to the highest Apex, mine plume's to expand, Wing's to stretch; Yahweh's mighty Word, to push them back to the gates of death. iv. So mine Jane, I telleth thou this; I'm not losing amour, Nor am I tenderness. I'm in the stage, of trans- Figuration, O' soon queen, We shalt meet in blissfulness, Beautiful apparition's. Ghost's of Old, ancient soul's, we'll tasteth Cascade's of mezmerdade; bralishas Of barinthia, thitherward the province of Ourn holy one, next to El Shaddai, meaning Elohim, also Jehovah, mine Jane and honey- Bee. Aside the Almighty's throne, And elevated Seat, his son Jesus Christ on the right- garbed In robes that floweth with the vim of life. As there Shalt be none need for the sun or moon, the creator's Ourn light. A place that's right, wherein there art none wrong's, Ourn sin's art forgotten within the angelic song's, these song's wilt be sung, on a basis of eternity; none ending, just befriending of the saint's at God's feet. Wisdom shalt be deep, from the beginning of ages, none more false prophet's nor greedy men to ruin the nation's, Concord within ourn Lord shalt follow the month's, as Jane, mine swain, it wilt be in this time's happening; It's still thee I shalt want. So hold on tightly, don't let loose of mine hand, we'll trounce these dark bearers, and pour holy oil upon their head's, None more wilt they torture us, as they'll flee instead, before of ourn Lord, Jesus Christ, the risen, the man, the son of God, ourn protection, whom hath arisen from the dead. ©Brandon Nagley ©Lonesome poets poetry ©Earl Jane Nagley dedicated ( Filipino rose)

Defrauding the public isn't hard When you're one of the Trumps. The president is especially good At duping his loyal chumps. So, after Trump fired James Comey, He fired AG Sessions. Those two firings were just a part Of the president's indiscretions. Next came Matthew Whitaker-- A Donald Trump lackey-- As acting AG, and whose background Was--let's say--a bit tacky. Now AG Barr is there To willingly play his part And show how he and Trump are both Connected heart to heart. Barr's recent appointment has Very clearly shown That the president has managed To get his Roy Cohn. Keeping Congress from seeing the full Mueller report, Barr Acts LESS like a fair AG And MORE like a czar. Flouting the rule of law, Trump And Barr, political hacks, Can end up doing a lot of damage Behind Americans' backs. Now Barr has mentioned the word "Spying." It never fails That Trump's appointees tend to go Completely off the rails. Making Trump a victim only Satisfies his base. Trump and Barr don't care whether Their actions are a disgrace. Now the tinfoil-hat group can say "All the acrimony Toward Trump is a nasty plot." What a bunch of baloney! Our leadership has never been So chaotic. Never! Elections, they say, have consequences. Boy do they ever! -by Bob B (4-11-19)

The D.T. Playbook: Chapter 6 (Defiling the DOJ)
When remember I all the excellencies That make us go into supreme ecstasies Will someday be rotting fast away In the grave and eventually turn to clay; How my merry heart comes down At once, letting go of my lady's gown   And my risen sun it duty shelves!    So all those ravishing things of jolly joy Which heaven on women glaring bestows That turn a beefy man to a lackey boy Shall by and by become shadows?           However I recalled the words of Solomon: That man needs must relish his ***** wife And his chosen work in this vain life. Hence my hanging duty again was done             In jolly jolly yummy      With my honey honey mummy.

Are we so utterly destroyed? Are we raised to be lowered into depths a man can not physically dig? Why do we seek a hell so obviously guised as heaven? Are we beyond repair? Can we never be fixed to match the idea of a standard model? Would you want to? Did these gears in the machine ever have a chance to pass inspection in the first place? Was I doomed upon that assembly line? Were we all? Am I the reject in the dollar bin of a land full of selfish consuming monsters who have no teeth of their own waiting for their masters to chew and regurgitate back into their joyous awaiting mouths? Is the way I write this too imperfect? Does this gain me nothing but a stroke of ego? Should I expect to deserve more? too little product? a lackey robotic? Not enough dollar signs to place upon it? Are these feelings, feelings anymore? Or are they nothing but programmed responses? Am I alive by falling from the branch of a toxic Oak only to pollinate the oily soil? Should I just be a good slave to the cult of "us" and earn for myself which no mortal has right putting a price tag on. Can robots trust?

Mortal? (Electric Sheep)
As I sat reading one of the bards tales the laughter within me could not be quelled he wrote with authority he wrote with some wit his words seemed to match with the joint I just lit As I continued to peruse the tale A voice from the kitchen slightly derailed my narrowing focus had suddenly gone south it seemed that I now had cotton in my mouth I reached for the glass beside on the stand intending to quench the thirst I now had but not taking an eye off the page before I clumsily knocked the drink to the floor I looked around if any had seen where was the cat when I really need a lackey , a scapegoat on which to lay blame The voice from the kitchen called out my name "What was that noise?" inquired the voice looking around I had but one choice Take off my socks and sopp up the mess down the hallway came her footsteps Quickly I scrubbed and scrubbed some more the cranberry juice had stained the floor suddenly there before me appeared the fuzzy red slippers which I so feared "You've stained the carpet!" spat my angry wife I quivered and shrank hopefully out of sight "I've told you before "your not allowed." "to sit and read stories with liquid around." With my head bowed I went for the door containing the machine I'd used before patiently she watched as I cleaned the spot removing the stain which I had wrought

Stained Carpet and an angry wife
I'll pinch-toss that lackey, I'll drop-kick that knave, Though lazed in his efforts, He's little more than a slave. A turn-key for hire. I find my bile rise At Hypocrites' dementia, So I'll smile my good-byes.

Fo Long, Sucker
I fell for a madman, a lunatic, a clown Knowing this all I can do is frown For so many years I took his abuse Him hunting a man who hides as Bruce This cakey clown makeup will cover the bruise A temporary reminder not to give him bad news He threw me out the window, it’s not the first time It’s all my fault, I got in the way of his crime One thing I needed to remember, he’s the star of the show It’s him and Batman, him and his foe I was just a puppet, a means to an end Maybe that why I met Ivy, I just needed a friend I was charged to mend and fix his head But it was him who got inside mine instead My ambition clouded my judgment, all could see He saw this flaw and decided to overtake me I became his Harlequin, or at least I guess I was meant too The issue is I thought for myself and didn’t share his worldview He lured me in with sadness and my pity He told me we would in the future rule Gotham city I believed him, I changed into a red and black lackey He said he just wanted to bring smiles and make himself happy Mad love, it’s what the sirens called it I guess they were right; how did I not take a hint? But he never loved me, that much to me is now obvious He hit, punched and dragged me, how was I so oblivious? I was just a pawn in his mad Puppet play I guess the joke was on me, isn’t that right Mr. J?

My inner turmoil is almost limitless yet your patience seems to be infinite. Some days I feel like I'm drowning but I don't own it in pride or proudly. My face goes beyond wrinkled lines as if a frown could be a simple sign. I have a hundred different smiles and while some point to the sky only three or four are truly happy because I'm a dog without an owner facing thousand others who won't own up, so even without an owner I'm somehow still feeling like a lackey. So can you please find it in you to come back and remind me that when I need you, you'll be there. My soul is bruised by inner turmoil, so please go grab a shovel from the shed and when I need it, please help bury me in the sands, in the dirt and soul; to relinquish the inner turmoil.

Tell me You own me, My parts all inclusive: Body, soul, pride, and my lust. The wreck-happy given, The floor lackey driven. So quickly enveloped in trust. Intelligence owing, To each respect growing. The wit savors no signs of rust. This demon has proven,     Why angels set grooves in,                  What we don't suspect,                                                                                            well, we must.

You Don't See This in Me
Let's pretend I can read your mind. What unkind words would you not say,      whose name would you hide? What places would you flee, in dismay, or wish to Caribbean cruise to? If I could hear your love, what would it tell me      that I do not already know? What kind of fantasies would whisper? Will your fears be softly moaned, or scream loudly to be let go? Let's pretend you knew I could hear deeper all your silences,      how many flatteries, there, would echo like broken vinyl, a skipping heartbeat, a flat tire...on the road… Would you still lie, if you knew--that I knew, still believe in them? Still make me believe you good? (never telling the truth) Let's say you could hear my thoughts... my inner worth... Would you condemn me and herald my secrets? Command me for your work      make me a lackey      or say I'm crazy to everybody—a nobody...? If you could see inside me or feel my worst hurts, would you understand \why and how my heart should burst? And of course, this is all make believe, imagination at it's height,      but true life is another sort      of his and her stories…. from our minds' eyes to witness to be told :  be realized. And every tale has once come true: man now      flying, cloning,           in rockets to the moon, I'm sure my fiction will be written soon, if not already In that book... what kind of mood “He” must of had when craving King & Koontz the idea of me...            (and “god” knows who) scratching chin his beard of white in a bowl of crocodile tears, playing pretend, and silent night our living years...in a sigh. (No need to read your mind I can feel your lies, goodbye.)

Let's pretend you knew I could hear deeper all your silences,      how many flatteries, there, would echo like broken vinyl, a skipping heartbeat, a flat tire...on the road… Would you still lie, if you knew--that I knew, still believe in them? Still make me believe you good? (never telling the truth) Let's say you could hear my thoughts... my inner worth... Would you condemn me and herald my secrets? Command me for your work      make me a lackey      or say I'm crazy to everybody—a nobody...? If you could see inside me or feel my worst hurts, would you understand \why and how my heart should burst? And of course, this is all make believe, imagination at it's height,      but true life is another sort      of his and her stories…. from our minds' eyes to witness to be told :  be realized. And every tale has once come true: man now      flying, cloning,           in rockets to the moon, I'm sure my fiction will be written soon, if not already In that book... what kind of mood “He” must of had when craving King & Koontz the idea of me...            (and “god” knows who) scratching chin his beard of white in a bowl of crocodile tears, playing pretend, and silent night our living years...in a sigh. (No need to read your mind I can feel your lies, goodbye.)

Temple of Artemis; Steal the cheese, But remember It isn't free! For Artemis is always hunting! Hunger. But who puts out the dairy? Wisdom. For the kid who doesn't Feel the need to thieve. For the outsider of the pack; For who wanders back Carrying foodstuffs They foraged, They collected. This is a leader. "For why did you not steal, coward?!" "I am not cowardly." "Not fit then, lackey!?" "I can lift, I can run." "Then what was it?" "The others couldn't." "Your kind then, eh?! You're kind then, eh!?" "I'm good As long as 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥." It is for the stranger of the temple Who is no stranger to the temple! One who cares for the altars, one & all.

Back In Orthia
Close by her side he paused to stand, as he took the class ring off her hand.                 All who were watching dared not to speak, as a lonely tear rolled down his cheek. Family and friends broke out in tears, as he whispered "I Love You" into her ear. All thru his mind the memories ran, the moments they shared walking hand and hand. Now her hands were so terribly cold, he never again will have her to hold. Looking back at that horrible ordeal, she wasn't as sober as she thought she'd feel. They all said goodnight, and she went on her way, now such a tradegy they all pray. As soon as the wind started to blow, they lowered her casket into the snow. Too many people carry the pain, of a lost loved one who had nothing to gain. Friends don't let friends drink and drive!  Leann Lackey

Balance never restored gotta take the time to reach for A goal but I'm steady taking detours Depression at its finest couldn't be cured with no diamonds Cause the void could never be filled Still be poppin these pills Every single day is just a cycle Taking steps to not feel ****** Grasping tight onto a bible Getting high for all those times low Aint no place like home inside my mind tho Theres no winning so this journey almost feel like Shiloh So maybe I'll take life slow in hopes that I dont plateau Always been an old soul so my skin I've outgrown Always been a leader but nobody ever followed Truth be told is all I want's a better day tomorrow I've been living with this sorrow But im glad I got the will to never feel like i have gotta grab the bottle And im glad I got people I can trust on Ain't stable by myself feel like I need someone to love on Another part of me just wants somebody I can **** on Another part of me feels like he wants to be alone I've been indecisive for too long im on my toes I been tryna avoid this feeling of paranoia Dinner at mamas plate of rice seasoned with goya This life is not a toy a little toddler destroys a certain kind of psyche vision dies when he will grow a Man is never happy hes just grown to be a lackey A man is never free he slaves to money as a caddy Lackin fundamentals to survive this hell on the earth They **** you in your spirit way before you're in a hearse Leave a mark
