    should old acquaintance be forgot
    lest you be aware of odds
    the loose
    the less
    the tattered worse?
    should you turn a back
    on thus
    leaving marks of shattered lust
    Knowing what could make it plush
    without it you are never trust.

    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly

    Should Old Man Candace be a sot
    And ever drink the wine
    Should Old Ma Candace take a shot
    And blister his behind!

    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Way overdue for judging...

    All's Well That End's Well or Not

    If you make it to heaven, do tell
    How you missed that false step into hell
    That those others slipped on.
    You look back and they're gone.
    All is well. No, it's not.
    They deserved what they got.
    Don't look back! You could fall!
    You don't care? Not at all?
    Must they all come along
    Even those who've done wrong?
    So, that's why they all rose when you fell.

    When you dump out the garbage tonight my dear
    Please be careful not to spill any on the sidewalk
    It reeks to high heaven
    It draws flies and vermin
    It detracts from the beauty of our property
    It pisses the neighbors off
    All's hell when the trash smells...

    A Dispute

    My dear
    did you not hear
    what they say?

    It has been told
    that all is well that ends well
    so what do you say?

    Come now and give me a kiss,
    now don't purse your lips
    just in that way.

    You see if you just play nice,
    we can still make it right,
    there is no reason to put up a fight.

    My fate rests within your hands,
    now, now, don't try and accuse,
    I only want to amuse.

    If you would only consent
    to but this all behind,
    how well the night could end
    and someday you know,
    we will just laugh this all away.

    Not even a smile?
    but you really insist
    and still resist.

    Well I must contend
    that for me this is turning
    out to indeed be
    a very unfortunate end.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    OK this was a very difficult choice to make. Thank you all for your entries.
    The winner for this round is YesNo. I enjoyed the flow and the words. I liked the contrast of heaven and hell. It made smile haha.
