Being Human
A golden made tank but with a small leak
among one’s nature’s crew, mistakes still speak
speed of perfection is slow
on morals, will always owe
on a board so white a faint ink can sneak.

Human Life
Were an anomaly that amazes
Our life and all of its phases
Wonderful creator,
I guess I'll meet him later.
When up my spirit raises.

start the bidding
While D.T.'s old image was bold
His weird rants seem hoary and cold
If campaign funds fade
The next asset trade
Is having Melania sold
Why would he throw away caution?
Seems like he’s got brain exhaustion
While human slave trade
Appears retrograde
This artifice needs an auction

Laughter In School
When laughter was heard in the hall,
The principle thought it was gall.
When down fell his britches,
The class burst in stitches.
The principle burst through the wall.
Refer to Twain's statement: The human race has but one really affective weapon, and that is laughter.

Bath Salts
There once was a guy who was crazy
Took bath salts to make him not lazy
Bad trip to say the least
Human flesh was a feast
Dead carcass was pushin' up daises

Face It!
The forces of nature are odd
So is that why we invent god?
Our deity’s norm
Seems to be human form
And reflects this silly facade

TECHNO TAKE-OVER
Technology says we’re on the brink
of human assistance being extinct
our jobs robots will do
fake people serving you
freakishly knowing each thought we think

Man Vs. Nature
Man versus Nature, who will win?
Almighty nature or man with his sin
Which one will want it more?
Who will settle the score?
Let the colossal battle begin!

God's Redemption
We saw in the garden the seed
Planted by man’s first evil deed
God sent his own son
To be the right one
To absorb sin so man be freed

Inane and Insane - Or Is It the Other Way Around
A sub human waste dump named Pence
Has thoughts that defy common sense
And who wants this chump?
The assinine Trump
Who thinks with his rump so immense
What is something uproarious?
Her plan to be victorious
Who must to us speak
Since democracy’s Greek?
Hilarious Clintorius!

Laugh At First Sight
There was a guy who itched for a fight
Wanting to beat the first man in sight
But let his guard down
As he faced a clown
And then laughed for the rest of the night
The human race has but one really effective weapon, and that is laughter

A Big Sissy I Become
Scheduled to have a blood sample taken
A big sissy I become, start sweating and shaking
It's just not right
It's Dracula like
It ain't human to stick a needle into someone's bacon

What Choice??
You insist that I only choose one
Finite human or god in the sun
Man has long pondered this
But as to my wish
I'll face death and have ALL the fun!!

The Malarial Sporozoite
My mom and dad met in the gut of an insect!
As a kid, I was packed in a sac not so perfect;
When I am mature,
I make myself sure
To infect a human when the insect does inject

Don Johnson pens from his far south berth
insightful poems tinctured with mirth
Of human foibles, plights
and Aussie nights he writes;
all while dangling down under the earth.

My wife Laura bunks down on the floor

She says, her eight legs up

Hi-Five Hug
Written by Gail DeBole on

An elephant in Zimbabwe
Hi-fived with a soft trunky sway.
Then wanting to play
She continued her day
With a hug for the human who waved.

Superficial Wounds
Never known such an obedient dog
Our Annie, understands our human dialogue
We often have to tell her
“Stop biting”, she concurs
The flesh wounds are usually superficial, thank God

Let's Give It a Shot
When will us human guys see the light
It's clear to me and I'm not overly bright
Like two plus two
Love is all we need do
Sound too simple? Let's try it..alright?

My Brain Became Lilliputian
Woke up this morning, thought I was super human
Dreamt of saving humanity from ultimate ruin
No more wars
Our spirits soar
Till I realized overnight my brain became lilliputian

The Polar Bear
Inspired by Seren Roberts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the polar bear is unaware the reason
why its hunting ground is de-freezing
unlike the human race
it sadly cannot outpace
climate change, warmer is each season.

Blue Whale Farts
Blue whale fart bubbles are big enough to swallow a horse
Can't imagine how they know, must have an underwater source
Maybe a smartass starfish
With a human-like gift
Thinks he's world-famous and looks great in fish shorts

Sphinx Head On Mars?
Was that Sphinx head on Mars
Or some prisoner behind bars
Seems like a mutated face
Of a different race
Like human parts in doctor’s jars
