All of the people on God's green Earth
at times are spiteful or full of mirth.
And there is one thing I have to admit
at some point in our life, we're all full of sh_t.
Looking down from above, as you point out my height
or my lack there of, it makes me want to fight.
So mention my size and you'll hear me recall
I didn't know they could stack sh_t that tall.

I agree, I also think it would probably be the battle-cry of all the little "Napoleons" out there. LOL

Okay, Okay, I know I said no more potty poems but um... this one works on more than the flush principle. It's going in, buddy! (Or is that down?)
-
I guess we all have lives away from the keyboard - and that's a good thing, as long as it doesn't get too hectic. Glad to see you're still publishing your work. Well, gotta go... busy, busy, busy
Take care,

Well, John, you did a fine job of conveying the arrogancy of some people. Alas, the world is full of those who judge based on insufficient data and irrelevant facts... without ever taking the time to be fully informed before doing such a disasterous thing. Of course, as a Christian, I would have chosen the word "dung" or "manure" instead of what most people use as a curse word. Otherwise, I feel you did well with this bit of ranting. LOL!
I, too, have been quite busy... as you say, the time of year... so, I haven't been online as much as I would have liked. I also have a major 'final' edit to do on "Truth Gathering" for the CD publisher. It's already published in paperback... an exhaustive Topical Bible of all critical-to-salvation subjects and more.
Anyway, I enjoyed this little ditty very much! I hope it placed in the contest. Love and hugs, BonnieQ

This was quite an amusing write. A good friend of mine told me about your work and thought I would enjoy it. He was correct. I loved how you “cleaned” this up, using the underscore, rather than the letter “i.” It gave the poem a little more charm to it in my opinion.

It seems like all I have time for is limericks or quick little poems. I didn't even have time to put in the vowels.LOL
Here's a little of the past week:
Spring cleaning for yearly yard sale
Wrote 2 different songs for 2 local restaurants
Still working on articles for AllWrite
Getting together camping gear for my son to go to West Point with the Scout Troop.
Friggin JURY DUTY this week!!
Those are just a few reasons I can't find the time I need to do what I really like - WRITE POEMS!!
I thought a stay at home Dad would have all kinds of free time, guess I was wrong. Hope everything is going well at work Susan.
Eventually I'll give my poems the time they deserve to get some kind of quality out of them.
Take care,
John -
Long time no hear from John. I hope that life is treating you well. I did enjoy this little ditty of yours. You keep up the good work. Hope to see more new poems from you in the future.
JULY BABIES ROCK!!!!! LOL
Hugs,

OK yeah... LP could use a line like that... I love it even if it you had to leave out a vowel or two... I am guess ing she will be more than happy to reinsert them where appropriate.
Cute write.
Susan -
hehe, good comeback, cute poem...though i like to lean my elbows on the heads of the vertically challenged folk (i'm 5'11" *smug look* lol)

Okay
It's been awhile since I've read a new piece of yours, and this is okay. It's good but it's not great. Can't wait to hear more from you
