"tripe" poems
Met jou patetiese pantomiem teen n God wat jy haat verkrag jy harte en bevestig sy bestaan. *** seer voel jou vuiste as jy slaan na die wind? *** groot voel jou ego met die roem wat jy vind? Swakelinge swig soos skape voor jou opstand en hype Jou talent is verduister in verganklike tripe. Jy is nie die eerste of laaste wat laster, wat liefde verloor met die haat wat jy koester. Ons is almal maar net wasems wat verdwyn in die mis tot verniet gaan ons woede en onheilige twis. Daar is nog genade terwyl die son skyn om omkeer te maak van die krakende pyn.

Roem wat Laster (Afrikaans)
Preacher, don't send me when I die to some big ghetto in the sky where rats eat cats of the leopard type and Sunday brunch is grits and tripe. I've known those rats I've seen them **** and grits I've had would make a hill, or maybe a mountain, so what I need from you on Sunday is a different creed. Preacher, please don't promise me streets of gold and milk for free. I stopped all milk at four years old and once I'm dead I won't need gold. I'd call a place pure paradise where families are loyal and strangers are nice, where the music is jazz and the season is fall. Promise me that or nothing at all.

Preacher, Don't Send Me
I may not do things traditionally But I'll get them done eventually If they're the things that are right for me I'll be okay and set myself free. In this life of turbulent strife pitted and ripe with rotten tripe a sunlight bright pains my sight but your soothing ice cools my vice The aid you paid is not ready made it gives me hope I'm not just a dope your love is more than a pity rope, slivered and raw it gives me splinters But luckily i'm in for a treat more than a friend sent to mend oh yes, you're more, my candy store settle my sweet tooth you randy ***** unwrap the rainbow you insane ***** ride the rhythm of my *** prism a rod shaped crystal built like a missile cocked locked and loaded it cant miss-ya. explodin' and remoldin' the fabric of time an infinite blanket wraps us entwined in a frantic romantic purely satanic ritual of reality, the utmost sensuality.

Raunchy Surprise
Maverick ex-cop (Green Beret /Navy Seal /SAS/Ranger) Twiddle of the fingers to crack a 64 bit hexadecimal code Shot but can still beat up bad people and run 15 people firing automatic weapons and they all miss Database that searches the planets population in 2 seconds And has photos of their children and plans of their building Regardless of the crime scene sample, always a rare element that pinpoints location Car chase where a truck can keep up with a Ducati motorbike Organisations that only employ attractive people in lead roles Ugly people are tech specialists sometimes allowed to be ‘quirky’ Even the uglies are attractive people disguised with glasses and bad hairstyles ‘I dream of genie’ gendre were they flirt but never get it on, unless it’s a hospital series Watchable, funny programs that always succumb to sloppy sentimentality High schools complete with intolerance, marginalisation, bullying, and hell on earth, The most disturbing and darkest crime sent to titillate mid evening family viewing Endless humiliation for fatties, chefs, performers, builders, restaurateurs, and troubled teens Dysfunctional law enforcement agencies that never work together under any circumstances Enough, if we need this thick coating of unreality, perhaps its time to switch off?

TV Tripe
They said there was a drought water was short not enough for domestic use. At first declaring it was nobody's fault it had not rained for a long time! Committing an offence by using a hose pipe truthfully was a load of tripe. Water companies are making a financial killing everyone encouraged not to waste water. More fancy gadgets the public would be willing to buy water use multiplied. As the buzz was building more on any land telling us there was a demand! Thousands of houses built was there a big need statistics only the government held. Groups tried protesting for it not to proceed but fields were still built on. Heavy rains came with more depleted drainage so did the despair and rage. A state of increasing taxes with nothing to show more became classed as poor. Communication with voters becoming very slow the authorities had a strangle hold! As the ban on a non existent drought dragged on more doubters joined the throng! Was there a danger of a growing national threat from people against the elite. Basking in luxury as the masses increasing in debt the drought added more fuel. Restrictions taking away their dignity it turned sour there would be a defining hour. Or is this just a modern nightmare tale? The Foureyed Poet.

Drought!
Inspiring Needle, pierce his fresh Leather, Inscribing Earth's Totem into his Birth Mum was Happy; What else could be better For such Achievement as well as your Worth So what if you Ascend?! Can you improvise Those Loyal Customers who bought your Face? Good Lord! Just on the lower-arm-set's Tripe, Crypted to prevent another Disgrace Envy? Me? Please! Not on my Word's Best Site Will I even Dare to take such Sour Note As I once reminded myself in-spite For every Storm there is a Shred of Hope. Three Figures picturesqued on certain Price That Midnomer then showed his Biggest Size.

SONNET TRIBUTE SUNDRY - EIGHTY-NINE - TOM DALEY
Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o the puddin'-race! Aboon them a' ye tak your place, Painch, tripe, or thairm: Weel are ye worthy o' a grace As lang's my arm. The groaning trencher there ye fill, Your hurdies like a distant hill, Your pin *** help to mend a mill In time o need, While thro your pores the dews distil Like amber bead. His knife see rustic Labour dight, An cut you up wi ready slight, Trenching your gushing entrails bright, Like onie ditch; And then, O what a glorious sight, Warm-reekin, rich! Then, horn for horn, they stretch an strive: Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive, Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve Are bent like drums; The auld Guidman, maist like to rive, 'Bethankit' hums. Is there that owre his French ragout, Or olio that *** staw a sow, Or fricassee *** mak her spew Wi perfect scunner, Looks down wi sneering, scornfu view On sic a dinner? Poor devil! see him owre his trash, As feckless as a wither'd rash, His spindle shank a guid whip-lash, His nieve a nit; Thro ****** flood or field to dash, O how unfit! But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed, The trembling earth resounds his tread, Clap in his walie nieve a blade, He'll make it whissle; An legs an arms, an heads will sned, Like taps o thrissle. Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care, And dish them out their bill o fare, Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware That jaups in luggies: But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer, Gie her a Haggis

Oh, phalo skeptic, part your wave for skirted ***** surfers, tho, trout, tripe, and titmice thrill thrice.. Will duct tape save us? Urge the Zamboni machine, to microwave ice. Quince down that pouting sphincter, Oh, the tides do swell on the morrow of passing fish. Wheelbarrow pious. Swift, awesome biblionauts, Fire! Fire! Pail, Pail thy watered pitch. Know this, every potato is somewhere vane ... I'm busy now, rude duuude, have you sweated a recumbent lout? Indent chill mots, Pete, I'm big in Europe, pal, Have seen me dance the Macarena? Fool, fool on that high hill,! Take care when licking spiny urchins Oy! I scare myself.

SONNET TRIBUTE SUNDRY - EIGHTY-EIGHT - TOM DALEY
I do not like my state of mind; I'm bitter, querulous, unkind. I hate my legs, I hate my hands, I do not yearn for lovelier lands. I dread the dawn's recurrent light; I hate to go to bed at night. I snoot at simple, earnest folk. I cannot take the gentlest joke. I find no peace in paint or type. My world is but a lot of tripe. I'm disillusioned, empty-breasted. For what I think, I'd be arrested. I am not sick, I am not well. My quondam dreams are shot to hell. My soul is crushed, my spirit sore; I do not like me any more. I cavil, quarrel, grumble, grouse. I ponder on the narrow house. I shudder at the thought of men.... I'm due to fall in love again.

But when we try to Seek what has been Sought Of so many Globes those White Hats confound And Paradox bears its own Hard-Deal, fought That Tripe Sanity so many will count A Useless Journey, I say; You Agree Since Fifteen Thousand Miles we are apart No Threatened Worries; And then you are Free To Tally my Charges and Tear me Apart As what your Kinsman calls the Chicken-Hawk, A Heresy Grave I will sure Attack As my Film's intent is never to Gawk But revive the Toddler's Fresh Friendship back. If so, then the Informant says he lies That, by Discount, our Age by Time soon dies.

Mona. Lisa. Lee-ah nardo how do YOU know my mom. I remember having pizza with ya the other night, we watched the "Da Vinci Code" after we had that fight, about Montauk hotdog tripe flavored ice cream. Even the audience doesn't think that's yummy! You taught, me how to knit chocolate and wish upon the sun. Did you mom? Am I your son? I'd prefer pecon pie. No-body likes pecans in my family. Did Leo like legumes ? ****** I may always be cursed with writing words that make reference to obscure astrology. My apologies to his groupies who think he's the best ******* art-east since slice bread. But how would it feel to had some dude who painted your mom and it was the big-gust most successful commercial success through out time?

Slam Poet Thinks the Mona Lisa is His Mother
The poet in me Can disappear I’m a combo short Without his ear A pretender’s left And here comes panic Without my Muse I get quite frantic And chaos crowds The remaining source Where I’m a knight Without a horse A wordsmith here Unqualified To pick my brain Just pushed aside Robotic words Will cross my page The day grows dark On life’s old stage Longfellow looks down Laughter booming At the tripe I write So non consuming My ego falls My pride goes limp And one hung low Is no Chinese **** So I send prayers From my antenna To reach my Muse My lost breadwinner How could one think Him but a myth I lost my flow I lost my pith Oh here he comes With lines exact I'm me again My Muse is back

A Lost Poet Again
Take a group of chimpanzees used to swinging through the trees, and sit them down at keyboards in a row; lots of paper, lots of ink, lots and lots of time, I think, and what the theory says I’m sure you know. Yes, along with all the junk, all the gibberish and bunk, somewhere there’d be the full works of the Bard: As You Like It, Cymbeline, Richards 2 and 3, the Dream, though Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, might be hard. But I’m sure the little blighters would get on fine with *Titus Andronicus*, The Taming of the Shrew, The Moor of Venice (that’s Othello), the other Merchant fellow, and Antony and Cleopatra too. The Winter’s Tale would hold no terrors, nor The Comedy of Errors, and Verona’s Gentlemen would turn out right; Love’s Labour might be Lost, or it might be Tempest-tossed, but All’s Well That Ends Well, even on Twelfth Night. Lear, King John, and Much Ado, Henry 4, parts 1 and 2, Henry 5, and 6 (in three parts), Henry 8, Troilus, Timon, Measure for Measure, Pericles (a neglected treasure) and how Romeo and Juliet met their fate; all the Sonnets, and the **** of Lucrece* (typed by an ape!) and if they worked for ever and a day they could fit in Julius Caesar, that Coriolanus geezer, the Wives of Windsor, and the Scottish play. I grew more and more excited – even thought I might be knighted if I could be the one to make it work. But to realise my dream I had to try a pilot scheme, to prove I wasn’t just a reckless berk. I bought one chimp from the zoo - didn't have the cash for two - and gave him a typewriter, just to try for a short while. Well, a fortnight was the time-scale that I thought right. You see, I’m quite an optimistic guy. Now everyone who heard of my project said, “Absurd!” when I told them of my striking new departure. “Get a chimpanzee to type the works of Shakespeare? Oh, what tripe!” Still … he did produce the works of Jeffrey Archer.

T'was the Time when Light hasn't come Thus filled the Air with Old-Smelling Rhum Or Gas-Lamps, or Candles of Wax Do make this Darkened City a mass. The Source of Great Power has fell This Time unknown which we cannot tell The Heat as the Night, how Great it was When Cooling Converters has made its loss. People complain, here and there For Power to return, unable to Dare At this rate in which they have had Enough It's now their Turn to be so Rough. Banners flow in tiles across The Head of whom around is Boss Saying, "Power come! Power come! Hear me now, don't be Dumb!" As the Night comes with Loser Heat The Rebellious Mass was still hard to beat Sources say to drive them out Not by Force, but by Pout. "We've had Enough!" the People said Thus they storm to the Company's Head Defense Forces pull them back But the People threw them in the Stacks. Just then, in Time's time an Electrician Came through. Stating: "All is well's tripe! I've cleared the Electric Hue!" The People heard, but didn't say a Word To realise: "We have dumped ourselves like birds." Forgiveness, they spoke. And Cooler Thoughts Do process Clearing-up the Debris; And brooming-out the Mess. Lights have returned; The Power recharged Peace has settled once again; With the Culprit At-large.

THE BROWNOUT
But I'm Not Bitter -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a dark and dreary day ( I know its Tripe but today it is true ) rain makes me sour and truly an old crone My skin is too tight and my bones are not nimble but stiff and useless Stairs are insurmountable and the phone seems too far away for the effort I no longer try to be pleasant and am left alone but for my furry mob who can care less my bad mood my desk chair is surrounded now with hot water bottles electrical pads and nuke em packs and of course pill bottles the detritus of pain It is now a companion old and well known to me I am told ever "Its age my Dear, Just live with it I am told "It's all in your mind there's no pain at all" I am told :Push through it and endure don't acknowledge it ignore it" When will it leave ? at death ? What a thought to have to drag it with me at the end. I curse his name His Family His Heritage His Intellect His Temper His one action one blow in fury his one tantrum ... And the sentence is life ...for me I wonder ..If I saw him could I strike back? I know there is no forgiveness no saint like pity or absolution Every time I hit the ground in a seizure he has hit me again Everyday I cannot climb the stairs in my own home He has thrown me once again through the window and I fall the 6 floors again Stop holding on to it you'll never get any better ... And I try ..I really do ... Then the seizures come or I cannot do a simple household task or I must once more tell a friend I cannot meet them for tea (a selfish luxury) You know I bet he has not thought of me in years ..but his actions govern what I can do every day of my Life But I am not Bitter Solita -2006

*"During" of all is death maybe, Precious life being rare so amidst. In idle boredoms long,innocuous,fewer The inspirations kindling sharp and deep. Many aimless wanderings wide, hectic Not often the calm,lucid moments, still. Much talks cheap, too many words tripe Silences creative but few,that flower pretty. In an enduring numbness and sadness real Lesser those loves true, uniquely outstanding. In pains purposeless,cruelties dealt heartless Present ever fewer,those angels of mercy. In epic text heavenly,wise sermons long, Rare that one lovely poem focused strong. If only durings were lived, aware positive! O angels,bless us with life more,meaningful During lives NOW,for sliding are we all fast, alive,dead senseless,to a death final and futile!*

During Death,Life Rare Happening.( Bless Us More,With Life Positive!).
As a best friend, I'd thought you'd understand. That I'm not good with feelings, and a lot of other things. However you went ahead, and surprised me instead. You left me standing there, made me thing you didn't care. I am not the type, to judge this tripe. I'd like to think that this isn't real, for I may not know how you feel. There are signs everywhere, which I happen to be completely aware. You found someone new, and left me feeling extremely blue. I think I'm no longer, your best friend forever. And so in reply, I'd like to wish you goodbye. Goodbye, good friend, I guess this is the end. Our days are over, it's time we get wiser. (n.d.)
