Jalopy

It creaks, it squeaks
It grinds and groans
It rocks, it reeks
And rattles your bones

It’s broken in
Not broken down
It’s rusty but trusty
Now let’s go to town.

Kudos

Think about what you love today
That fills your heart with delight
If it doesn’t involve you in any way
You’re finally getting it right.

Fixable

How does what can never be yours
Completely seep into your pores
Until it’s all that you desire
Consuming your mind with covetous fire

If people could learn to be content
With what they have and never spent
Their time on every selfish whim
Perhaps this world wouldn’t seem so grim.

Layer Lover

I like to look beneath the skin
To see whatever lurks within

And pick, pick, pick upon the rind
Of every fleshy thing I find

Then any cells that I reveal
Will be dissected till I feel

There’s only atoms left, but nope—
Time to get my microscope!

Asking For It

You act so coy
But your innocent ploy
Seems forced at times to be frank

I’m sensing a minx
That’s fond of hijinks
If I’m wrong you can give me a spank.

Snapped

Indignation seldom solves
The problem when the world revolves
Around the one who caused you pain
You’ll only garner more disdain
And as the incident evolves
Burgeoning bonds can’t take the strain.

Racketeers

If the threat of tyranny didn’t loom
It would be neat how one can zoom
Beneath a camera in their car
And those that tax know who they are

But did you ever stop to think
Of other ways these snoops can link
To figure out the real you
And not the one that filters through

The government won’t be satisfied
Until they can monitor more than your ride
Don’t ever concede your freedom to fools
Who profit ignoring their own foolish rules.

Buried

Crystals cascade from the clouds up above
Into big fluffy piles that skiers just love
And if you enjoy it don’t take this too hard
But I only like it on a Christmas card.

Sagging

I finally got sick of breast
Believe me friends I am
Now some of you may think I jest
But trust me, there’s no scam
I always try to do my best
But my hands are tired ma’am.
How much more can they ingest?
Prep some more, oh damn!

Forage

Sleep little acorn, sleep
Through the winter deep
Stay underground and keep

Yourself ready to sprout
When warmer rays coax you out
And there’s time to root about.

Tenet

Indecision and indulgence
Pretty much sums up my youth
Remorseful repentance
Since I understood the truth

That none of us are here
To sate each sordid lust
Forsaking self for peer
Is the first and foremost must.

Masher

My flattened thumbnail
Is turning quite pale
From mashing your button
You’re a hell of a glutton.

Predictable

I’ve known since I was young
That things were not germane
But always held my tongue
So I wasn’t tagged insane
That’s how they deal with dissidents,
Or cause untimely accidents.

It’s hard to find the strength
To fight their constant lies
Elites will go to any length
To broker the demise
Of values we should all revere
Get ready for a painful year.

Ravenous

Conformity is strapped across my face
A baby blue confession of disgrace
In order to obtain the goods I need
I will comply with lords of corporate greed

I pass my fellow livestock in the aisles
With downcast eyes and undetected smiles
Another year of flattening the curve
Accepting we are only here to serve

Remembering lost days of liberty
We all believed that we were truly free
But liars weren’t content to simply steal
They want to hear us beg for our next meal

It’s time for everyone to just refuse
At this point there is not that much to lose
We’ll either die from a bug we can’t control
Or demons who are hungry for our souls.

Brevity

What was
No longer is
What is
Will soon be was

Time goes
Way too fast
Won’t last
Nothing does.
