November 2017 Couplets
11/1/17
Let's be Republicans!--And hem and haw
Until we overthrow the rule of law!
11/2/17
Loneliness terrifies me because I'm with
Someone I can't stand to spend any time with.
11/3/17
Let's be Republicans!--And smugly blame
What we burn up for triggering the flame!
11/4/17
My bad romances are the children of
A needy dad and moms who feel no love.
11/5/17
Because my heart's an alcoholic souse,
It guzzles love and blacks out playing house.
11/6/17
Let's be Republicans!--And always battle
To make sure men can treat women like cattle!
11/7/17
Just body parts won't start my carnal car--
It's all about whose body parts they are.
11/8/17
Let's be Republicans!--And bravely fight
To make this country bigoted and white!
11/9/17
Between the ignorance and the mendacity
Our leaders put the ass in incapacity.
11/10/17
An ounce of hope lifts despair's ton of pressure
And one kind act's the stone that breaks Hate's thresher.
11/11/17
Two
Ideas Of Love
His heart believed her love could validate him;
His insecurity's what made her hate him.
11/12/17
One kind of love always ends in rejection:
Mistaking affectation for affection.
11/13/17
Never give up--but let surrender be
The way your spirit fights for victory.
11/14/17
Let's be Republicans!--And talk the talk!
And then go backwards every time we walk!
11/15/17
If wanting was enough, I'd be a saint;
But that takes love, self-knowledge, and restraint.
11/16/17
What justifies our political lust?
This motto: In Rich White Male God We Trust.
11/17/17
May my life always be a meal that feeds
Not what my journey wants, but what it needs.
11/18/17
When false friends talk behind my back, why curse?
If they knew ALL my flaws, they'd say much worse.
11/19/17
My lower self looks for a pit to fall in;
My higher self, a prospect to stand tall in.
11/20/17
Everything that we get in life's a loan.
Why cling to things that we can never own?
11/21/17
Arrogance--greed--rudeness--despoliation:
My country is an uncivilization.
11/22/17
Now is not then and will not ever be.
Let it go--it's one sure way to be free.
11/23/17
My life's been gifts and blessings by the tank-full.
I give thanks that I'm still here to feel thankful.
11/24/17
Joy's flowers are all watered by my tears;
My courage is the daughter of my fears.
11/25/17
Ask me my flaws--I'll tell you ten at once.
Ask me my gifts--I stammer like a dunce.
11/26/17
Bad decisions teach me how not to fail
Like storms at sea help me learn how to sail.
11/27/17
All sins can be forgiven--except one:
Using The Bible like a Gatling gun.
11/28/17
The ego: "Seek revenge for every hurt!"
The heart: "Treat foes like flowers, not like
dirt."
11/29/17
The present is a diet of fresh meat
But it's the past's stale leftovers I eat.
11/30/17
Each time I undertake a plan of action
My monkey brain gets dazzled by distraction.
