a bite
a slight bite
on the inside
of your elbow

a scratch on the
outside of your
thigh

a stretch
a yawning stretch
in your hips


knees back
                 back

no we can
dance

Tiko, I kept reading "now we can" for "no we can". The correct reading sends my curiosity all over the place. Tom

LOL, good catch and thanks.  i think i'm going to post this one.  i did it while cooking dinner.

thanks again.

tiko

did WHAT while cooking dinner?

whatever you liiiiiike.... ;)

crooked ties.
blackened eyes.
rosie cheeks.
mascara streaks.
missing shoes.
horrible news.

the bride was shagging the best man.

no first dance.
no last chance.
no champagne toast.
no groom to roast.
no thrown bouquet.
no bride to lay.

we still must pay the band.

tiko, you go, guy.  you actually pulled off all that rhyming. great job, and very funny.

tall
my

lean
towards
your
own

trample
the
petals

wayward

carry

alien love

i
could
never
tell
the
difference
between
blue
and
purple

are you naked yet?

sometimes it trickles
from a purse
a pocket
a bag of milk and beans
a hole in an old shoe
a book
a song
a parking ticket on a windshield
a tea light
a pink tree
a half eaten bagel
a strand of red hair
a bowling ball
a 2 iron
a wig
a transgender go-go dancer

or a
twitchy eye

i LOVE this.
