(Drumroll) Congratulations---
prendlemick. The unusual is definitely what I look for in a comedy/pun/satire poem!
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...
Congratulations prendrelemick!

I work and do my very best.
I play, get tired, and want to rest.
I rest, get bored: "No work today?"
"Just rest. Consume your life away,
Support those working while you may."

work rest and play
under the stars and stay
you never know what may
dynasties do say faith
is lusive as a date
others do stake bate
to see if life is mate
but then it is all a rate
it's either paid or waved

The wife says "Lazy Bum! Go to work!"
I complain I need my rest
"You came in this morning, half-past four
Smelling like a brewery, old man!"
Age mellows men, now I tell my son
"Lazy Bum! Go to work!"
He mumbles and grumbles, up last night til four
He has World of Warcraft to play.
Never seems that we work when we should
Take sweet rest when we can, play every chance we get
Playing tires us so much that we nap here at work
But the Boss is resting also, so it matters not!
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...

Mock, Pest, and Prey
bullies work night and day
the pests infest
and never rest
till Judgement Day repays

Jack and Abbey - Three Years Hence
Listen while you read… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqw8yhHq_78
Three years since Jack’s nature never betrayed,
(if you’re bewildered see famous quoted line thread)
they moved to Milagro and handsomely paid
a sly old bean farmer for his crops and a shed.
Abbey’s charm had eroded by daily grinding
from snot nosed rug rats perpetually soiled.
Their lungs split the air, peeling the binding
off Keats and Goldsmith, even Hugo had toiled.
The Milagro Beanfield War* had taken its toll.
Irrigation rights contended left Jack only trickles,
he relies on spit and rinse from the washbowl
(*a novel by the way, courtesy John Nichols)
Weary from their labors over toddlers and beans
Abbey and Jack felt like refried garbanzo.
“In Sangre de Christo we’ll find rest in evergreens,
Grandma take the kids, we’re off to Chimayo!”
All work and no play made Jack a dull boy
but all that changed in a Chimayo motel.
He spread out some plastic, greased it with soy,
poured out slick limas and cheese from Ro-tel.
Shedding bloomers and breeches for a slimy soiree
At last, Abbey and Jack found some time to play.

Special mention to GG, for a total sensory experience there. The second verse is brilliant.
However the one that made me laugh the most was Cacian with that wonderful line- dynasties do say faith
is lusive as a date! - it is indeed.
Congratulations Cacian.
