Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.
'Tis the topic I want to do in years.
Say what you think, all things under the sun
Through poetry and verse, shall make it run.

Well, how should I start these cute discussions?
I'm driven by the roulette of Russians.
I say constantly, "A WINNER IS ME,"
Now I share with you, my friends, this victory.

I wish I was good at poetry, at rhyme and verse, or song,
but even if it starts off well, it never lasts for long.

You'll get the hang of it, mon cher ami;
I'm having a hard time as well, you see.
But practice makes excellence, not perfect;
We are but human; that is the effect.

One week for vacation...
ahh nuts Wednesday has arrived
Couple of days left

Back in the U.S.
Home isn't home anymore
All just junk mail

It's in my interest
To make the best of the week
...Happy Turkey Day!

What can I say, then? Happy Turkey Day!
Too bad we don't celebrate that today.
But our Christmases and our New Year's Day
Are as grand as your Thanksgiving, hurray!

roses are red, violets are purple
sugar's sweet, so's maple syrple
thanksgiving's feast also lives up to its name
rending my waist and making my belt lame
the other 364 i am in dieting mode
to undo the turkeyday tightening load
i'm glad that on xmas and easter
i've long defaulted as a non-feaster

Well, we may not have turkeys for dinner;
We don't have fourth Thursday of November.
But we have more holidays than you do;
More time to rest, and do the bugaloo.

Euh, now I know I ate too much,
For Thanksgiving Day is right now,
Le gratin was nice to the touch,
My brain this food would not allow.

Might we not use meter now?
We write in verse as the name shows,
Although attempts would not show how,
Is it not true that meter follows?

Meter and rhyme
Need not count;
Iambs, spondees,
Anapests, trochees, and dactyls
Are optional.
Whether it rhymes
Or not,
Free verse counts,
It is verse anyways.

Just feel free,
Strawberry,
I use verse.
Like U-Verse.
I use rhythm
To the rim.
I use meter,
Kilometer.

I'm a lime,
A rhyme, in time
Too cute, a fruit, to boot
Though go and throw, to blow the snow
Don't wish to dish the fish.

And who should I not want to do,
The do and don't, who wont but will,
The thrill of crime and life and love,
And all that see my oven glove.

So never fear my faithful dog
His bark is far worse than his bite,
Although he might, just lick your kite
And wag his tial 'til out of sight.

The emotional war rages on through the night
I can hear the emotional gunfire very close to the heart
The bullets in the form of words tear through my thin flesh
All of my blood shoots out but somehow I'm still alive
The last breath is drawn from my lungs but I'm still not dead
My words fail to come except for a tiny, pathetic whimper
Emotions are a such funny,fragile thing.

xmas ain't even here
but already i dread the new year
the coming gray damp cold january
is to me but depressing and scary
it's like pushing a big ol' stone yet again
up a steep slippery hill against the grain
why can't it just be december forever
and for once and all, january never?

I don't know what to say or do
But it seems I feel the same, too
You are right, Christmas is hectic
For yours truly, an autistic.

Today, to two TV characters they did compare,
One was the opposite of sinister (Latin),
The other a gorge in the tongue of old London,
And somewhat rhyming with the name Hilton.
Guess who these are and you may get a prize,
Base it is compared to such characters realize.
Brekekekex, koax, koax, koax.
I dread the attention more than the pox.
