I don't like rugs and I don't like a mat They encourage bugs, and we can't have that. So I don't like cushions, let me just repeat, Just a big TV and a comfy seat. All that's allowed on the new settee Are me and the cats. (And Mrs TG)    Posted:   Aug 20, 2018 - 7:10 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) That...is fkn genius. "Clutter is criminal I like it minimal" Im having that... as a slogan on fancy wooden sign on my wall.    Posted:   Aug 20, 2018 - 8:23 AM     By:   joan hue   (Member) TG, you must NOT be an interior decorator. Glad you let Mrs. TG on the settee. It is a big trend now to put lots of throw pillows on beds, and I've heard that men don't care for that trend. I'm not crazy about that trend either. That is a very fun poem with an awesome rhyme scheme. Bravo.    Posted:   Aug 20, 2018 - 1:01 PM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) TG, you must NOT be an interior decorator.

Funny, Bill!    Posted:   Aug 20, 2018 - 1:05 PM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Yeah TG, awesome rhyme scheme. Whatever that is. Bloody smart aleck huey.    Posted:   Aug 20, 2018 - 1:30 PM     By:   joan hue   (Member) "Smart" is a good adjective for me, Bill.    Posted:   Aug 20, 2018 - 10:43 PM     By:   joan hue   (Member) FIRST GLASSES AND LATER At forty I lost near vision, stilt arms’ extension insufficient to decipher precious words from gray smudges. Desperate to see the world again in only black and white, I submitted to glasses and bent elbows. In later decades my mind had this absurdly named far-sightedness, imagination rather blinded to the failures in decisive decades. The future focuses on graying of pallor and hair, glacial blood, the heart’s angina, all brailles of this body. No enlarging lens will clarify the lost sharp strut of my stride as I, once verdant will soon embrace the foggy faith of vespers' vision.    Posted:   Aug 21, 2018 - 5:15 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) See, I can't do this. It's profound, serious and great poetry in my humble opinion, whereas mine ends up as doggerel and usually comes when an absurd thought meets a single rhyming couplet.    Posted:   Aug 21, 2018 - 8:39 AM     By:   joan hue   (Member) Tall Guy, your poems are great. I can't do your serious or light rhyming poems. Thanks for the compliment. We each "do our own thing" here.    Posted:   Aug 24, 2018 - 5:48 AM     By:   Jehannum   (Member) Looking at old photographs I realise The camera sometimes lies I swear I see intelligence in your eyes    Posted:   Aug 24, 2018 - 5:56 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) Looking at old photographs I realise The camera sometimes lies I swear I see intelligence in your eyes Funny AND cutting! What’s not to like?    Posted:   Aug 24, 2018 - 7:17 AM     By:   jackfu   (Member) The Mosquito Last night while I lay a-sleeping Came a tiny buzz a-creeping, And it made me sit bolt upright in my bed. ‘Twas a little bitty insect With a grim, bloodthirsty mindset; And she filled my sleep-dulled mind quite full of dread. For to thrash around and swat her, I might hit my wife, or start her; Yet I couldn’t stand the thought of being bled! Turn the light on? God forbid it! I would have to just outwit it. She would not use me to have her belly fed! Yet again her wings a-singing Cause my eardrum to be ringing; I must find a way to make this bug be dead! In the blackness I lay waiting, For the pest, anticipating; Just the moment when she lands upon my head. Easy does it, she’s a-coming! I can hear her wings a-drumming! With a mighty “WHACK!” the little vampire’s dead! “WHAT THE HECK?!”, my wife’s remarking. And our little dog’s a-barking; Now I guess I’ll need some kind of sleeping med!    Posted:   Aug 24, 2018 - 7:38 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) Nice Poe-try, Jackfu!    Posted:   Aug 24, 2018 - 7:40 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Biting, jackfu.    Posted:   Aug 24, 2018 - 8:02 AM     By:   jackfu   (Member) Nice Poe-try, Jackfu! Biting, jackfu. You guys are good! Thanks!    Posted:   Aug 24, 2018 - 9:01 AM     By:   joan hue   (Member) I have photos of some ex friends, so Jejannum's poem is perfect and well-rhymed. (Yep, and cutting.) Jackfu, I hate mosquitos. Flies also drive me nuts in the house. I walk around with a fly swatter. That is a cute poem with a very interesting, extended rhyme scheme which I couldn't come up with, so congratulations. Maybe we should all self-publish these FSM poems.    Posted:   Aug 24, 2018 - 9:35 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) we should all self-publish these FSM poems. You’ve had many worse ideas, Joan    Posted:   Aug 24, 2018 - 11:14 AM     By:   joan hue   (Member) TG, here is the problem with self-publishing our poems. Our resident poetry president, Bill Carson, contributed poems like the following: "Show me a home where the buffalo roam... And i will show you a house with a lot of shit on the carpet!" Do we keep his poems in the book or censor the book? As you know, Bill is a very sensitive guy. (Maybe we should keep his poems for levity.)    Posted:   Aug 24, 2018 - 12:09 PM     By:   jackfu   (Member) Thanks, Joan! Here's another "song", if you will, to the tune of "Good Vibrations". It was slightly tricky in that I don't know how to write down overlapping vocal harmonies like the Beach Boys sang in "Good Vibrations" (Wilson, Love). This was inspired by a couple of instances in which I thought my cellphone was vibrating in my pocket but I didn't even have it with me. It's actually a thing; Phantom Vibration Syndrome. Phone Vibrations Ah! There goes my gosh-darned cellphone again! I can’t quickly enough get it in my hand. I silenced it quite a while ago; But to my surprise there was no call, and so… I’m feeling phantom vibrations, It’s giving me those sensations; No calls but I’ve got vibrations, (ooh, no, no) It’s giving phantom vibrations; (ooh, no, no) I’m feeling phantom sensations, (ooh, no, no) It’s giving me those sensations; (ooh, no, no) I’m feeling phantom vibrations. D*mn this thing! I set it up so that it would not ring. There it goes; it’s doin’ it again! Wha?!? What the devil is goin’ on?!? Has this darned thing got a mind all of its own? I’m gettin’ phantom vibrations, It’s giving me those sensations; I’m feeling phantom vibrations, (ooh, no, no) It’s giving me those vibrations; (ooh, no, no) No calls but I’ve got vibrations, (ooh, no, no) It’s giving me those sensations; (ooh, no, no) I’m gettin’ phantom vibrations. Ah, ah, my, my, phone gyrations! I don’t know how it can do it now! Oh, my, my, phone gyrations! Oh, my, my, those sensations! Gotta stop those creepy, darn phantom vibrations happenin’! Gotta stop those creepy, darn phantom sensations happenin’! Gotta stop those creepy, darn phantom vibrations happenin’! Waaaaaahhhhhh! Phone, phone, phone, phone vibrations! (ooh, no, no) Phone, phone, phone, phone vibrations! (ooh, no, no)    Posted:   Aug 24, 2018 - 12:46 PM     By:   joan hue   (Member) Yep, Jackfu, I sang Good Vibrations with your words. Worked.
