ODDS AND BENDS TWO

by Charles E Minshall

These are all things I wrote at one time
or another.

I will make additions to them now and then.
Yours for smiles....Charlie
--------------------------------------------
I said aye aye
For the skipper and I,
Eye to eye,
Saw eye to eye,
Eyed the storm
With a critical eye
And sailed into the storms eye.
--------------------------------------------
I know when I go to hell
It won't be below
For I have raised hell.
--------------------------------------------
He rated the rate but didn't rate the rate.
--------------------------------------------
His mission was a mission to a mission.
--------------------------------------------
I don't know if what I say is on the level
but is my understanding you use a level to
level a level.
--------------------------------------------
Clothes close to the closed lid of a hamper
hamper a hamper.
--------------------------------------------
No more for him, he is the desiccated driver.
--------------------------------------------
Bush has us bushed.
I think we've been tushed.
--------------------------------------------
If Jackie owned donkeys,
would Jackie own asses?
--------------------------------------------
I think it's a disgrace for one of the
largest computer companies in the world
To advertise it's rest room use.
--------------------------------------------
If the Egyptians put mummies in pyramids,
what did they do with daddies?
--------------------------------------------
Now days the girls on the beach have the
world on a string.
--------------------------------------------
A man should have three things. a close
mouth, an open mind, and enough money
to ignore the first two.
--------------------------------------------
The young and old are going to pot, each
in their own way.
--------------------------------------------
The elder nudist could barely get around.
--------------------------------------------
The Arabian people have a lot of grit.
--------------------------------------------
A beauty operators job is very tressful.
--------------------------------------------
In days gone by it was
hippy this and hippy that.
I thought hippy
was misplaced fat.
Maybe it was,
need I explain?
Maybe it was fat
where there should be brain.
-------------------------------------------
At Waikiki beach Hawaii, there are
red tails in the sunset to be seen.
-------------------------------------------
A day spent at the barbershop
is a dis-tressing experience.
-------------------------------------------
I enjoy writing poet tree, I hope loggings
not to be.
-------------------------------------------
When I leave this world place me in the
casket face down, so all of my enemys can
kiss my arse.
-------------------------------------------
May the blue bird of happiness spit on your
head.  (I had to keep it clean)

I love this because I think all writers have some poetry tidbits like these lying around, perhaps not fully developed as yet but gems none the less, but you have made something of yours, and inspired me to do something with mine also...I thank you for being a writer's writer...all the best, jewels/julie adams

I know when I go to hell
It won't be below
For I have raised hell.

I am here at this moment. Keep them coming. ;)
