IDIOT SIGHTING

Checking in at the airport gate,

I was stopped and asked by the security staff,

""Has anyone put something in your baggage

without your knowledge?''

''If it was without my knowledge,

how would I know?'', I told the chap.

''That's why we ask.'' said the dude

and we both went our ways.

...............

Full of intellect and wisdom,

She was a probation officer in Brisbane.

She and I were crossing a street

When we saw the light on the corner buzzing;

''What the heck are those buzzers for??"", asked she.

''Well, they signal blind people when the light is red"', said I.

''Oh!'', the brainy officer responded,

''what on earth are blind people doing driving!"

.......................


Down-sizing having made her

old co-worker quit the company,

the manager hosted a good-bye luncheon

in her honor; and remarked:

"" This is fun. We should do it more often.,''

No other word was spoken

and we all looked at each other

with 'a rabbit-in-the-light' stare!

A Silent Fart
by mazHur

Oldie and Goldie
were attending a church service .
they were hardly half way through
when Goldie leaned over
and said to her husband,
"I just let out a silent fart
what do you think I should do?"
Oldie replied:
"Put a new battery
in your hearing aid!"

This thread of poems
were tiny and delightful
let us post some more

[AuntShecky]

The imagination is
an employee of hope.
Once I fell in love
with a blushing sunset
that was just pink neon
from Wegman’s roof.

Changing the Calendar


It only takes a second
to flip one month to the next;
a little longer to take down
the old calendar and put up
the New – - but even faster
do the years fly by! The life-
span is rushing away,
like sand spilling out
through a cracked hourglass.
I wish I had a giant thumbtack
to pin time to the wall,
a mile-long strip of tape to keep
these waning days in place.

Cowries and Conches
by mazHur

Wish there was a time tunnel
and we could travel back in time
to our childhood, our youth,
and repeat the follies again !

Wish the sun keeps showering
its warm rays on all evenly,
prejudices were burnt to dust
and people lived in peace.

Wish the reign of love prevailed
you and me went wading in the sea
collected cowries and conches from the beach
and built a Statue of Liberty from them again!

LIAR
Do not cast your h o l l o w eyes upon me with apathetic pity.
For I have seen the truth and acknowledge it with all the dignity I can salvage.
Pay no heed to your transgressions. As always,
Ignorance is bliss.
My query is uttered from my lips, the question filling the room;
Articulated in such a c u t t i n g manner.
Its threatening presence silences us,
And you f a l l from your high throne of self-importance.
Your voice fails and your eyes remain locked to the floor; a shelter from confrontation.
Not daring to venture from this safe-place.
I look to y o u, searching for reprieve from this agonizing stillness,
But my attempts are fruitless...
For I have already lost you to SIN.

Pride on My Pillow

The dark strands
on my white pillow case
are daily reminders
of the barren future ahead.

[V.Jayalakshmi]

Here is a little hello from me,

I know not whether there will be hello's ahead,

For I am but a dot in this idiot box called life.

Hey I can't believe the thread has been abandoned like this...:shock:

Let me revive it with something...(toomuch shocked to come up with something worthy for the thread)

He wanted a pirate tattoo
He wanted his lips pierced,
He played the huge drums,
And lived on cheesy tortuillas,
And his poor father explains,
"My son is a gorilla!"

I think it was the first poem I had written.I accidently found it in an old carton today and it made me chuckle...D

Bad, bruising, bloated boring men keep walking in here
Maybe one of them’s the guy for you, honey
Maybe this one with his chewed cigar
Maybe one day every day will be your birthday
Maybe one day he’ll win the gameshow and
drive up to get you in a brand new car
He’ll say, give me a burger with everything on it
And, keep the change, from a hundred dollar bill

what's wrong and right
by obscure beat poet Bing Deploy

I have seen the truths of men
Buried in the depths of them,
And what I carried out from that snowfall,
if that out of X, Y, Z
It's wise to choose Y
Wrong to choose all.

[Il Penseroso]

Shake the biting wind
from fingertips numbed to bone,
loosen these metal
claws transfigured by the cold,
unseal aching from its mold.
