Nightie-Night

nighty

when it’s time to repose

do you sleep without clothes?

is your doze

one of those

with your bits all exposed?

in the buff

in the raw

so everything shows?

–minus cap

–missing socks

from your tops to your toes?

your torso

disclosed…

your legs

without hose…

your knobbies

your floppies

your knees

and elbows?

who knows

how it goes

when your engine slows

if you’re too hot to handle

or frozen in robes…

Stop Short

 

white

or padded

twill

or tatted

to hell with catchall mitts

gloves implying

underlying

urge to return hit…

if I’m dusty

knuckles busting

pinkie drooping low

I won’t hide it

just abide it

and I’ll skip

marking toes…

Voicemale

mail

If you like me at all

–please don’t call

for heaven’s sake don’t Skype…

Don’t text me

or vex me

or sext me

or hex me

or any such other hype…

Don’t friend me

or vend me

or gripe me

or type me

a note or in stereo

don’t tweet me

or greet me

or page to

engage me

in mentioned scenario…

To reach me

just teach me

a new form of

speech, see,

including each lesson in letters,

electric’s

a technic

and snail apathetic

still *male*

~when it’s artful~

is better.

Hokey-Spokey

hokey pokey

I can fit in

>when I’m bidden<

but the truth is I don’t.

Since the midden

is where fittin’

can be hidden

for most.

So I dance to

my percussion

tappin’ lyrical

beats…

Jokin’ hokey

never pokey

skippin’ rules

by the feat.

I can foot in

if I’m wooden–

I can go North ↑

or South ↓

but by nature

nomenclature

could be deemed

foot-in-mouth.

Gilded Tongue

 
 

the hype

I type

could be

asswipe–

the tales

I tell are gold.

No “perbole”

to verbally–

related

truths of Olde…

a Musing dotes

on Annexed Folk

to channel all the told

then poet rote

reviews my Spoke

–and Pens a

fool’s gold.

Then again…

Charron

shenanigans

🙂 a giggle fest 🙂

best in show

&

word’s that’s best

kicK→ing shins

of all the rest

in syl•la•bles

that promise test

of

/ limits /

~humor~

–holding breath–

a *buzzered* hand

in fidget jest

a chuck on chin ↑

that points to chest ↓

a jiggling

wriggling

term for mess–

that’s planned or spurred

–and lessens stress.
