    "Lets get ready to rumble,
    "Get ready, get steady, and rumble,
    "Everybody rumble,"
    Is a lyric from my youth,
    Expressing a need quite uncouth,
    To joust with one's fists,
    Or feet, or twist ones wrists,
    A Chinese burn or a turn,
    Of the nipple, a nipple cripple,
    And in my opinion, quite humble,
    And not intending to grumble,
    Should we all: 'get ready to rumble'
    The walls of society might crumble.

    Tomorrow I am going to deal with the lyrics 'whoops-a-daisy, lets go crazy, just like Patrick Swayze'.

    Please forgive me,
    For my memory is hazy,
    It was one of those lazy days,
    Spent whiling away the hours,
    Watching the cold April showers
    Flatten the flowers, until the rays
    Of the sun cut through the clouds
    And removed this interminable shroud
    So that we might play.

    We took the roof down,
    A leatherette gown pooled with water.
    "James, in the back," for his legs were shorter
    Than mine and could bunch against the seat,
    "Tuck in your feet." We had rain, we had sleet,
    We had lightening in sheets,
    And now the glorious sun's heat.

    I reached for the stereo,
    Depressed the pedal, called "here we go!"
    A show of youthful exuberance,
    I twisted the radio's protuberance,
    The volume control. The speakers vibrated,
    This need for speed and noise will be sated!
    The music spilled and the air was filled,
    Our egos inflated, with bated breath we waited,
    "Whoops-a-daisy, lets go crazy, just like Patrick Swayze."
    A look of disgust, a cloud of dust,
    With brakes applied on the radio I dived,
    And shut the music away.

    Parallels of Nobody

    A dance of rage and recklessness,
    --Nobody in the kitchen again.

    The glaring light, the glaring truth,
    --Nobody's reflection.

    There in the kitchen window,
    --Nobodys, parallel.

    'Neverything'

    Not all of this - or anything otherworldly I might know
    nor the opposite - of something which is there
    no, to outline the negative implication - or despair
    neither as the opposite of everything - oh it's going to be said
    nothingness' duality needs not be further stressed
    now who claims it's same-same, but different, warning
    don't mingle with the ulterior not yet manifest - or else
    shadowy figures watch - over you as you try to rest

    My heart dips into the chalk
    Which flies around the air like dust
    Our love is like a pommel horse baby
    Round and round
    A blister, a fall
    Your leather makes me squeak
    And if we are judged poorly I care not.

    Golf not,
    Thou privileged rareling of wealth,
    Lest thy balls, by their aerodynamic dimples
    Betray thee by their flight.
    Rather, kazoo
    The hits of Sinatra and Crosby,
    Bagpipe the Beatles and Stones, whose wrinkles
    Betray their Pleistocene origins,
    Pre-electromagnetism, post-aerodynamics,
    Thy roommates empillowing their unfortunate ears,
    In Hope and Pear
    That thou drownest in thy dishwater
    So that they, by the grace of all grace may
    Sumo thy balloon animals from
    The Sandbox of Freedom
    Unto the Astroturf of the one percent
    And the upshot explodes into starbursts,
    Roman candles, and things that fizzle
    In the wet wet wet wet wet.

    Please don't hurt me for posting this! It just came to me in the shower and I thought it was silly enough to put here. It's called:

    The Lament of the Human Male

    Half the world has dangly bits
    Between their legs; the other, tits
    Upon their chests, up front and proud
    Displayed so they might draw a crowd
    But many grieve about their breasts
    “Not big enough! I cannot rest!”
    They pay the doctors quite a whack
    To stuff their chests with saline, Jack
    Had I a mind to follow suit
    And give the surgeons all my loot
    To give my bits some extra size
    So they would be my proudest prize
    The women all would double-take
    And in my face their fingers shake
    If I had bits down to my knees
    To match my girlfriend’s triple E’s
    I’d incur the wrath of society’s
    Matrons, and their attorneys.

    There once was a woman from Venus,
    who due to cultural differences,
    did not care much for limericks.

    Mares eat oats,
    and does eat oats,
    and little lambs eat ivy.
    The ivy was poisonous,
    don'tcha know.

    The mares ran 'round.
    The does fell down.
    Ergotamine is quite lively,
    The ivy was poisonous,
    now you know.

    I bought some ZzzQuil
    And took it twice
    By the third it lost its powers
    That wasn't nice

    There once was a little fish called Ronlet
    It swam round and round all day in his goblet

    Long story short, because it liked those
    And never memorized lengthy ones, like prose

    An intellectual swimmer, a golden winner
    Having an identity crisis

    Wondering; I think, therefor I am,
    Or; If I didn't swim I sank

    He came to doubt
    Existence, what did it revolve around?

    He made up his mind, and tried his luck
    To infinity and beyond
    *knock*

    Quickly his journey came to an end
    He reached the edge of his realm,

    A see through border of his nugatory dwell, fortunately,
    Like his head, not made of eggshell, the concussion hurt like hell

    His health never recovered
    From amnesia he suffered

    One half was given the sack,
    And the other half he could remember

    He used to wonder
    To be or not to be, turned out he Ron'd

    Now there was no place inside Ron
    For ruminating sentences that long

    All that remained from "to Ron or not to Ron" was
    "To Ron, to Ron, to Ron, to Ron", gosh.

    These next events one day were rather absurd
    "Eureka!" yelled from the celestial outskirts

    His owners made a remarkable invention
    They even were killed for it, didn't I mention?

    The device that could fool nobody twice
    Was designed to read minds

    Little did they know
    Not only humans had thoughts and a soul

    The burglars tried it out on the fish
    Before throwing it all in the ditch

    Not having a name of their new campsite,
    The founders of what became known as Toronto were slightly inspired

    These criminals with no conscience tried the machine on each other
    Throwing it away immediately, because the buddies did shudder.

    I am a bird

    flying


    flying


    flying


    away


    I don't know where I'm going

    But I bet it's somewhere super dazzling and meaningful and profound


    flying


    flying away


    Now I'm lost

    and I'm tired of flapping my wings

    Where am I going again?

    I don't want to fly anymore

    To somewhere super duper dazzling and profound

    You are the wind beneath my wings

    My soul, carrying me forward

    When I am too weak to carry on


    What's that I hear?

    The sound of my destiny

    it sounds a bit like the cry of a turtle


    I'm crying


    crying


    crying


    crashing into a tree

    This is a haiku,
    Three lines, five, seven, five syllables,
    I cannot count though.

    Canned peaches in a bowl
    spinning like goldfish
    that I can not spoon up
    when their world gets
    cloudy.

    O little Saxo

    O little citroën Saxo,
    your soft eyes filled with woe
    once proud family hatchback,
    long journeys you did know
    before succumbing to the rust.
    rescued from the dusty barns of men
    to know the thumping of sub-woofers and alloy wheels again.
    Twenty years and seven,
    til your ascension
    to youthful heaven
    and car-meet mention.
    the beast of burden litre engine
    given close attention.
    flames on side and spoiler high
    Dials broken but spirit intact,
    your long history untracked.
    But love you knew and love you know
    at least until your throttle goes.
    Hiding behind your tinted glass
    Little Saxo, must you look so crass?
    Low now, you lie, speed humps we cannot mount
    and the odometer is beyond recount
    Soak the speckled velour, rays through your sun roof
    And light the touch by fickle youth
    who loves but makes you so uncouth.

    Brilliant! :rofl:

    Some Rich Twerp in My Old Dutch

    Oh my Fuck Ness Monster
    He cried as his chai spilled
    Oh my, the lil Thai trilled
    watch where you go sir
    In response, he dweebed
    "ping tan poo" and "piss off." With a hard, hard pee.

    I whispered to my bee ef
    that shitlord keeps a journal

    wherein he scribbles
    with effort
    like a chimp playing Scrabble
    "Well you see, am rather proud of moiself
    if truth be boasted.
    I don't scrub floors in Chelsea
    I only dine and whine in Chelsea
    And my flat's near Albert's Hall
    but I still Get Cockney Rhyming Slang
    'cause my daddy once met a hooli-gang"

    Anyway,
    why come to a pancake place and only buy tea?

    My Secret Twin


    I don’t know who she is

    Or if in fact it is a she

    But something’s always been missing

    From somewhere deep inside of me:

    It’s her!

    I am me
    and I want to be
    simply me
    all I can be
    and all I see
    is me
    is me
    is me.

    Flowers delighted, my day pivoted on their stems like a greased axle.
    A bulb that fed bees left me more than pleased.
    With my eyes shut, it was like being lost in an embrace.
    The flowers' magic cast a spell on my clouds.

    Bad poetry its name
    Now let's all play this game

    You guys gotta remember: This is the BAD poetry thread, not the good one. So stop posting good poetry here. If you have anything stupid and ridiculous, post it here. This is not the thread for putting respectable stuff. @Darkkin, I'm looking at you. Post crap. That's what this thread is for.
