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!

When asked how World War III would be fought, Einstein replied that he didn't know. But he knew how World War IV would be fought: With sticks and stones.

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
Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty
~Albert Einstein
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.

"Then I feel, Harry, that I have given away my whole soul to someone who treats it as if it were a flower to put in his coat, a bit of decoration to charm his vanity, an ornament for a summer's day"
Oscar Wilde [The Picture of Dorian Gray]
Pride on My Pillow
The dark strands
on my white pillow case
are daily reminders
of the barren future ahead.
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
Leaping and hopping like a frog now, but still have a long way to go before I get crowned as "King Frog"!
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.
Shake the biting wind
from fingertips numbed to bone,
loosen these metal
claws transfigured by the cold,
unseal aching from its mold.

and somehow a dog
has taken itself & its tail considerably away
into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
behind: me, wag.
