HANGING on humor!- by Debi Lyn When Life is weighing you down and testing your last nerve...and overwhelm taunts your mind and body but you can't swerve. When tears threaten to fill and spill and stream down your cheeks to your ch
I don’t write poems.
To relay one’s thoughts
into an arrangement
of pompous words and
literary contrivances is awful.
To use calculated words
and chaotic stanzas
just to appear
Some call him lazy and his wife calls him a jerk.His wife is very angry because he will not work.He won't get a job even though he's an able-bodied man.Her husband refuses to get a job even though he can.
Were I to write a starry, Starry Night
Or a perfect Degas ballerina set to rhyme
If poetry from me flowed like Monet’s water lilies glowed
Wherever my neighbor goes, people stare.They can't look away because of his neck and pink hair.When he goes out in public, people constantly point and laugh.It's because of his hair and because he has the neck of a giraffe.
I was so scared that my hair turned gray.
All because I wore white after Labor Day.
I was so scared that I damn nearly died of fright.
People became violent and I was forced to fight.
A cute young girl named Ireen
Tried to be heard but not seen
She wore dark blue
with a purplish hue,
still in blacklight,
she glowed Tangerine.
Fickle felines are indifferentindependent from their hostinquisitive and leeryskittish as you approach
When I died, I arrived in Hell and there was a lesson that I quickly learned.Satan is using a new kind of torture, people are no longer being burned.It's a rotten, terrible and cruel thing for Satan to do.
If I were a leaf on a tree..oh how would I leave ..me
leaving me..would make me laugh..leaving for you..
you think.. you ask...no says I to me...you know..
leaving for free..says me..right now..I would leave me..
I am a wimp, I know it's true.
I'm more afraid of bugs than you.
There are many things I'd rather do
Than go near a bug and kill it too.
I'd rather step in fresh dog poo.
Bigorexia, when you just want to bulk up
on muscle, or, Monexia, when you just want
to pump up your paycheck—
I, the boink, trill as I bounce down the street
Ignoring all else, I move at my own beat
The boink is not a walker, I have no feet
The drum of my step is none but a bleat
Funny-
yet in an odd
sort of way,
how men
liken women and cars
to fruit-
of all things.
And we've all heard
the expressions
" She's a peach,"
and-
" It's in cherry condition."
I’m gonna put you
In a wood chipper, baby
Feet first maybe
And the crimson colors
Will match the autumn leaves
I saw you there
At the renaissance fair
All alone
Churning milk into butter
I got down on my knees
And I said the Lord’s prayer
That you would be mine
In an hour
There's a half-burnt man
in the woods out back,
where the dog won't go
and the brush is black.
Past the old stone-stack
and the berries red
stands a musty shack—
so I've heard it said.
Ring… ring… ring…
Voicemail.
“I guess I’ll try again”
Ring… ring..
“Hello?”
Shit.
My voice sounds like someone else.
Who saw the kid in the clown suit? He was on the swingset.
An empty cup for change that nobody gave.
Who saw the kid in the three piece suit. He was on beach of lake michigan.
When Rocky Balboa returned from Russia, he'd been cheated out of his money, he didn't have a penny.I was at his estate sale and I bought his Lamborghini.But Rocky followed me home and said that he was ready to attack.
You've designed a new electric car and it's being built on the assembly line.You've been pestering me to buy one but I never will, one of your cars will never be mine.You want me to buy one but I'm going to pass.
I broke one of God's Commandments when I stole an extension cord.I was struck by a bolt of lightning because I angered The Lord.God is cracking down on those who break his Ten Commandments.
All I have to do is paint a portrait of somebody being dead and he or she dies in real life.I've painted portraits of my former boss, my in-laws and I also painted a portrait of my wife.
I have a son who is so stupid that I want to give him a slap.He wanted hushpuppies and I said "We got no time for that crap!"I'm Buford T. Justice and I'm a bubblegum machine.
In the begining, there was an egg.
God said, “Let there be chick!”
So the egg turned into omelette.
I have a sad story that requires music that's played by a fiddle.I've been wounded and I'm spending Black Friday at the hospital.Gamestop announced that they were knocking 80 percent off of Playstation 4s.
I love rhyming
I do it all day long
Whenever I start rhyming
I want to sing a melody
I love rhyming
It’s all that I can do
It's just me it's just me come and sit on my knee I'll tell you a story of how the wind blows and where all the bad kids go the boogie man ate em' he snatched them up by the toes spanked them on the bottom and gobbled the boogers from their nose t
I imagine one day a prince would come
Just as all the fairy tales say.
But wait as I might, he has yet to appear
I worry he may have lost his way.
My parents tell me to remain patient.
My Uncle joined the circus,
which is okay,
I guess,
if you like that sort of thing.
Truth is,
that sort of thing really
creeps
me
out,
like how
Lunchables
There once was a cave,
There lived three bears,
A momma, a daddy, and a cub.
They lived happily hunting and hybernating.
Once, they were out hunting.
The moving force was slow and steadyWith wheels that groaned "Are we there already?"The complex grinned with sandy windows,"Say goodbye to your driver, fellows.I've come to wrench her from your seats
First I make the dough
Then I perform some magic
Greatness is acheived
Writer's block is a painful endeavor.
So bad it makes me question my creativity and if a spark of it existed ever.
If only there was a magic pill or convenient mushroom
sitting around waiting to be consumed.
Man, pizza is just great
Like its really really good
Like nothing you could ever do would be like your first bite of pizza
Except maybe a litter of puppies
Not eating the puppies, you monster
The Life of a College Student
Hey Mom,
I am writing you from college.
You know, I came book smart, but when it comes to household chores I just don’t have that much knowledge.
Dearest cannoli, of chocolatey lore
I could never desire but anything more
Than your sugary goodness, so wonderfully sweet,
I could never imagine a more fetching treat
Dear Dad..
You're like a broken advice vending machine
All advice is free and it's always a two for one offer sometimes even three
While the hours pass the night
With lightly feverish apathy,
I focus weary concentration
On the task that looms precariously.
“Here’s a chance that won’t come twice!”
My freshman teacher promised.
It's interesting how you look at me:
You nose turned up,
Your lips scowl.
Do I look funny?
Is it my hair?
Am I in my underwear?
What is so repulsing about me?
I'm Popeye the Sailor, I'm sure not Popeye Doyle.
Things went down hill when I married Olive Oyl.
Bluto showed up at the wedding and started a fight.
As usual, I ate my spinach and punched out his lights.
My new Russian bride can only speak one english word and that word is no.
If she doesn't start behaving like a wife, she will have to go.
When I paid her way to America, I didn't know things would go sour.
I ate a booger last night.
I admit it, you’re probably right.
It’s nothing terribly bad.
It makes no sense why you’re mad.
I ate a booger last night.
Its tenderness was sublime and just right,
A humble peanut lies in the ground
Secure from anger, danger, and sound
The peanut knows not from where it came
Only to grow, exist, and to stay in his game
Then just when his world was perfect it seemed
I do this for you
Not because I want to,
just for you.
I've left everyone behind,
I've turned on my friends,
said goodbye to my family.
I did all of this for you,
and what did you do for me?
Maybe if I were fast enough
I'd finally outrun the tortoise.
I've studied closely: patience
is key, patience is key; and yet,
he just doesn't understand
that speed is what I'm built for.
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!"
"No, I don't want to! Why are you there?"
"To save you, my princess, from horrible demise."
"Please don't look at me with those eyes!"
"Why not, m'lady? I truly do care."
we got to get things in check
watch what you say & do
others have no idea

these are desolate times
Curly Locks was chillin' playing basketball.
Thinkin' 'bout how he could dunk if he were seven feet tall.
Strolled back down the street 'cause he was hungry now.
Could've eaten a chicken, turkey and a cow.
Many Months Ago
America Elected a President
His Skin is Orange
His Hair is Fur like a Dog
Your Tie is long
I claim witness growing up,
down a path left behind a mirage
of some passing distance.
I see now the blurr faces.
A mask in craves something once wanted, more in need.
Why?
That's what I ask
When I see you frown
Every. Single. Day.
You never fail to intimidate others
With your apperant foul mood
Hasn't anyone told you
As the year began, I switched from the food industry to cleaning house
I also became pregnant and got married to a wonderful spouse
I have seen uncovered food blasted all over in the microwave
I am an environmentalistI am an activistI am a realist I am an elitist And I AM an Atheist But I am NOT a damn cynic!! I believe that with our own hands we are destroying the organisms that roam this planetWith NO acknowledgement of the fact thes

There is something special about laughter.
It allows people to enjoy the little moments they've saught after.
The act of laughing can make anybody's day.
It will lighten the mood and pave the way to a day that is at least
I possess a very active mind full of ideas.
All hotter than fresh quesadillas
yet more tasteful than plain tortillas.
Sometimes there are too many for me to even keep.
Occasionally they impair my ability to sleep.
I use to have stuffLots of stuff Stuff that I woreproudlyStuff that I carried around in my pocket stuffStuff that I woundplace in placesamong other stuffto be seenby others who probably had theirown stuff I really lovedmy stuff Now I can not ev
Humor keeps me intertwined
with these silhouettes of mine--
Silhouettes of doubt and fear,
shadowed, yet still crystal clear.
The path is worn and faded--still,
When you broke up with me and you said you needed space i was fine with it
Because i thought you meant it in a normal way
Rather than applying for a job at NASA.

The day moon says “fuck you” when it rises
With the brick in the sun at 4:00--
It wasn’t his idea.
On a fine summer evening young Matthew McGee
Rode his new vintage vespa to a friend’s brewery
That had just opened up in a warehouse abandoned
They Come.Flapping their feathered wings.Mocking me in their bizarre language of squawks and gibberishCircling like vultures above unsuspecting vesselsSearching for scraps. If one brings out food on a boat, They Come. They Come in their vast numbe
In front of your doorI paced,Stooped down and retiedMy shoelace,13- the numberThat was glazed,Rung your doorbell since your keysHad been replaced. Once the door opensIn a haste,And you'll stare at itIn amaze,With a motive ofA nutcase,I'll smash a
The time has come
To put the nonsense aside
I've waited all day
Now it's time to get high
So, I lock the door
And I load the bong
Turn on the stereo
To my favorite song
Humor is the only thing
That is brave enough to reach its trembling hand into the shadows.
Its long finger beckons to me
"Come hither," it whispers
Greatest gift for mankind?
The relief from a hard time; I say this with no lie.
Laughter over anger makes everything fine
Because I know it will be in due time.
Knowing what’s best with best intention.
On a deserted island the one thing that I’d bring?
With this answer I’m not hesitant,
I want to bring with me,
Some of the dead U.S. presidents.
Give me money.
Give it to me more than I can count.
All I Need
If I were on an island, lost and alone,
What would I need to make this strange place home?
Some might say a cellphone, books, or ropes
But I know what I would need the most.
It chokes me
(though, not with its hands)
I struggle to catch my breath
When its grip tightens I don’t protest
But instead smile more
The day is long, its prospects dreary, and in this state I’m weak and weary.
I have no drive and no desire; I need something that will inspire.
Of movement and of thoughts I’m leery, yet to my mind there comes a query:
I love this place dearly,
its very close to my heart.
I grew up here along with others,
being pushed around in a cart.
If stranded on a desert,
where will I go instead?
I could say that all I needed was something like a book,
I could even say that I couldn’t live without food to cook.
There are many things that I have said I couldn’t live without,
There’s one thing in my life that is dear and ethereal
And that dear and ethereal thing is called cereal.
Mornings and nights, without a doubt
Don't panic, our blue planet's a wonderful placeDreamers, we live, we fly, we soar, we singUnlike the desolate rest of outer spaceAlthough all curious wonders always bring.
She sits in the room full with her friends.
They all laugh and talk.
But why cant she seem to smile?
She tries but their all fakes.
She had plenty of reasons to be happy.
She had her friends.
The happiest absolute of life to live,
would be to start the work, unnamed, in death,
But confused above this harsh world,
I'd died a worker with the riches.
That everything you wouldn't lose,
The air currents swirled
like water in the ocean,
swift and calming.
.
The air reminded me of fall,
though life blossomed like spring,
new and refreshing.
.
A garden green,
A svelte owl,
on wing through this dark mooned night,
an ego ghost on the prowl,
to find what has been for his might.
.
Elusive moonlight,
scattered over frosty grass,
I choose to be meIn a world where others disguise who they truly areLiving a facade to hide any imperfections or scarsPressured to live their life just like everyone else
The minute she steps foot in a libraryShe has an excited lookAnd before you can even blink your eyeShe has her nose in a book
Authors are powerful peopleThere is no limit to what they can doThey have the power to make you ecstatically happyAnd make you have a heart attack, too
fuck that cat with two fists covered in molten lead
If I had a nickel for every day I spent in hell,
It would be the last three years with my ex-girlfriend.
I don’t know what that equates to,
When the acute insatiable hunger beckons
You, my friend, are where my thoughts travel.
And as they unravel, my stomach babbles
Its demand for attention, its need to be satisfied.
You are my staple,
A little bit of coffee....
Okay, more than one just cup. To get me going, to wake me up.
A few drops and shots and pumps and cubes.
To add a little flavor and put me in the mood-
A camelopard gravid with sensuous tastes
Turned to an emmet for a quiff of complaint
“Do you enjoy your provender raw or percoct?”
Which led to a moment of formicine shock
The camelopard in sooth was arrantly hurt
As humans develop coming from a small origin.
I learned that life will be worthless without humor.
Ladies and Gentleman, humor will bring the smell of spring and the scenes of summer to you.

hypocrites! If you look up the definition you'll find
"A person who indulges in hypocrisy"
Okay, well thank you, Google.
So if you look up the definition of "hypocrisy," you find it is
Death my dearest compassionate misunderstood friend
When all hope is passed
You stand
Your realm is the bridge of no return
Dearest one
You greet all who you visit
There was a man named Paul
Who went to the mall
He had a great fall
He was so tall
He hit the wall
But, who would he call?
But U-haul!
Have a nice day U-all!
to drink is good; good for the soul,
though only if, you lack self control.
imagine this; picture it quick;
you've drunk until you're not quite sick,
My Cousin scared the hell out of me when he bought a space shuttle.When he blasted off, I wet my pants and was standing in my pee puddle.A con man sold him some property on the Moon.
Something happened when I lit a cigarette in an oxygen tent.I'll tell you what happened instead of just giving you a hint.That oxygen tent went up in flames and I got burned all over.
Some people say she was crazy, they think that she was out of her mind.She paid the price when she decided to use a power line for a clothes line.She thought that the electric current would dry the clothes faster.
“Leash and Collar”
The wind came by and picked me up
My heart dropped down but my body flew up
I dreamt a pile of words
Then woke up and threw up
Mary had a rack of lambBasting oh so slowAnd everywhere that Mary wentThe rotisserie would goFlocks began to wane and thinThis Mary was a gluttonAnd everywhere that Mary went
He told me if I want change I have to be the change.Anything else is insanity.I just wanted four quarters for my dollar.
.
A thug was set free even though he committed a crime.The reason why he was set free was because I'm a Mime.I was on the witness stand but because I'm a Mime, I wouldn't talk.
People are laughing but I don't think it's funny.A dirty rotten crook stole my stolen money.I was very happy because I successfully pulled a bank job.But then that man pulled his gun on me and I was robbed.
I'm a Gungan from the planet Naboo and my name is Jar Jar Binks.Senator Padme put me in charge once even though I don't even have the ability to think.George Lucas brought me to life with a computer, I'm a product of CGI.
(This poem is based on the Star Wars movies.)I'm the Emperor and my face looks like a prune.I have dark circles around my eyes which also makes me look like a raccoon.
You know what I want to hear?
A rape joke
I want to hear you joke about a traumatic experience
I want to hear you joke about my traumatic experience
And when I don't laugh
You can runaway from love
You can runaway from war
You can runaway from danger
You can runaway from a stranger
You can runaway from a cop on the beat
You can runaway from gangs on the street
Oh, I've got no problem eating alone.
Make no mistake--
I can eat what I want when I want it.
I can think how I
look like I
go where I want.
I can see whom I please,
Say what I mean,
Three witches gathered round a pot,
the first witch said "today let's make something new
I'm sick of all this baby finger gluck and newt tail glue
and I know just what we wierd sisters should do.
Why is it that the common expression is
“Butterflies in the stomach”
When referring to a feeling of apprehension
Of both good and bad varieties?
Chunky, Munchy, Crunchy,
Peanut Butter or Chocolate Chip,
It can be Thick, Thin or Crumbly,
Its what Everyone like to eat.
It could be round or squared,
Sometimes Big or sometimes small;
I have a hole in my head.
It's not that big - (not that large really)
Like the skin and bone disappeared
And a gap was left in its stead.
Oh, but I don't mind it Fig -
If my hair looks different, I probably washed it today.
I find flossing to be inhumane.
I sleep in a nest of dirty laundry, and it's the most comfortable thing ever.

There is no human “norm”
Black ink writing forget-me-not notes on your skin,
You’ll hear future melodies
Where people dance euphorically exhausted
Dousing pale cheeks with spirit heated
sitting lopsided on a chair
bland features
souless eyes
starchy complexion
what is it doing here?
who brought that here?
where did this wash up from?
how long has it been there?
There was a Clown named Dink
Who owned a pet mink
Who drank from the sink
One day he was on the brink
Because he was partial to the drink
His face was always pink
His twink brother Tink
(Second person)
She laughs at us, you know?
Telling us "I apologize."
She's just setting us up for another pile of lies.
Each time we want to desperately believe her.
I am far from perfect, that is true
But when it comes to my nipples, I have a perfect two
Don't worry I am a man
So dont be afraid to be a fan
They are astonishingly round
Better nipples will not be found
I see your round face
a wafting aroma
towards you I want to pace
and savor your colors
richness of red
and burnt sage flavors
the golden gleam of your shine
perfection and imperfection
There once was a girl named Lou,
Who took her first trip to the Zoo.
While escaping a snake,
She fell into the lake,
And that was Lou's last trip to the zoo.
The clock strikes twelve,my hunger abounds,
The kitchen groans with too much food inside,
The food sits heaped upon the shelf in mounds,
My mother scolds me and by law abides,
My next door neighbor is very stupid and a little strange.When I asked him if he had ever been abroad, he thought that I was insinuating that he had had a sex change.
My mask is thinnest because it is not my own.
I have neither created nor condoned it.
It grew like ivy
invasive, clutching at the walls of my lungs,
spreading a sheet over my lips
I want to be featured on Upworthy.I want to be the man who breaks the mold.
Take me back upon a hill,
an imagery time of inconsequential deals,
where love is blind,
and hate is enforced,
and all you can think of
is substantial divorce.
Oh the agony,
the agony of time
We students sit and sit all day
What's worse is that we have no say
Of when we eat or when we poop
Our lives are one continous loop
Teacher, you dictate our life
Some people like to talk as if they
Are kings and queens of the world
even though they obviously portray
a disgusting clam with no pearl,
Gossip and name-calling is all that they do
Something took the rhyme from me
I never felt it go
But how to get it back again?
Don't ask me; I don't know.
Something took the rhyme from me
like falling on my back
I have been given the power to change.
To change anything I want.
The word itself summons up clever ideas, yet it is simply harder to choose only one thing to change.
I told a friend
"Hey Ralph,
What's the difference between Jelly and Jam?"
He said; "What?"
I said;
"I cannot Jelly this cup,
Up your butt"
Will ya look at that pie?
Oh my. Oh my!
Whipped cream piled high.
To die! To die!!
I'm sworn to a diet.
I sigh. I sigh...
With all of my might.
Oh why? Oh why?
I know I just met you
but please let me say
we could get food..
I mean..I want you to stay.
Ahhh not in a creepy way
The teacher assigned a poem
I said well does it have to rhyme
She said well no
but maybe at least give it a try-mm?
There once was a boy who wished to be a man.
He thought despite all wisdom told he did lack, the wise words of this man were contained in his back.
There once was a man called Marcus
Whom lost his paintbrush in his heart
He had his surgery
In the planet Mercury
And then he let out his last fart
My best friend is my radiator.
It talks to me on cold days
When it's working so hard to heat our little apartment.
It likes to hiss and pop and gurgle
When I play it music on my guitar.
Don't do this, don't say that
Oh, here's some "food" that'll make you feel like crap
Is that not enough?
Would you like some more?
How about I give you a pop quiz that'll drop your score.
I got the letter for summer reading, and decided not to waste my time
Eyes widen
I didn't forget to do it, I didn't want to
Lips tighten
Can you speak quieter I'm trying to sleep
STOP! STOP! STOP!
Good riddance, why am I stopping?
Just stop.
Oh, please. If you must, don’t be too specific. Now if you would excuse me for a moment as I continue ‘undisrupted’ ..
A friend was once given some doughnut seeds
to spread joy wherever she went.
But each one she planted and watered and loved
Not everyone is perfect, okay,
Even if the think of themself that way,
And although teachers wish it weren't true,
They abide by the rules too,
So here is a list I'll give you to try,
In, out, in and out of my mouth.
I know you're thinkin' dirty,
but those are thoughts
you need to ditch,
because the truth is I'm just
eating a juicy sandwich.
we spend about an hour with them everydayoh the things we wish we could say
some of us want to vent and befriend 'emothers want to whack them with their pen
oh the things we wish we could say
The Sky is blue,And full of poo,falling, spiralling, down,from white and brown-speckledcreatures They call seagulls.
And the moral of this story is-Shit happens.
My elephant Sam grew a mustache
It was my birthday wish
My mommy said wishes don’t come true
But mine was special because mine did
The other year he had an afro
Walking home from work
I notice that my wife sitting at the dinner table.
My three children were upstairs playing.
However, the house is not cleaned.
I said to myself "What kind of shit is this?!"
My house is like a circus party,
But a little crazy for me,
Come right in, and right this way,
Why don't you come and see?
You see the lion and it's tamer?
Performing tricks and all of that?
I always quit on everything
On books, poetry, and writing
I really would like to finish but
Being a teacher for the day
I would get more done
I would let the students teach
I would make the class room fun
Every once in a while
I would give them a test
With the answers on the board
I’ve been to Paris...
California.
I’ve seen Paul McCartney live twice.
I have cried both times.
I’ve walked right into my dad’s jokes
and right into opportunities
and right into poles.
Seven O’clock, my alarm won’t stop.To turn it back off would be a sin.I get up my courage and wake up my body,As light shines very dim.
Galinda:(spoken)Elphie, now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project
Elphaba:(spoken)You really don't have to do that
Galinda:(spoken)I know. That's what makes me so nice
I have to write a poem
Not too long or short.
No required rhyme,
No required sense.
Just a gripping, passionate subject
with flow.
So here goes.
There are poems that teach lessons
There are monsters in my closet,
Fiends,
Menaces.
They terrorize me once a week.
They wait for the chance,
Lurking,
Hiding,
if you could ask a question,
anything on your mind,
what exactly would you ask
if you were given time?
Say you met a tall man,
who said he was a poet.
"Do you have a question?" He would ask.
I just got
Punched in the
Face.
My eyes are not
Focusing and I
Think I’m riding a
Pink elephant.
With a heavy sigh, I stride into the room.
A soft light, cold ground, gentle
Scent of perfume.
On a white chair, I take my rest,
Thinking on who I am,
Breaths moving my chest.
Of all the burdens I must bear,
My brother's number one.
Our parents really messed up there.
They've raised an awful son.
He's lazy, stubborn, rough and mean
And thinks he's boss of me.
When I got home from camp today,
My parents almost died.
They asked me how I got this way,
And here's what I replied:
"This little cast from heel to hip
Is nothing much at all.
How long must I continue to prevailAgainst the the odds my homework throws at meMy only wish is that I do not failAnd maybe by this summer I'll be free.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
My alarm begins to cheep.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
It will destroy my sleep.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
My eyes begin to peep.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
My hand begins to creep.
There's an Itching
two inches past that-spot-I-cannot-reach
buried in my hair
I reach, stretch roll-
to no avail
Somebody help me-
I roll on the carpet-
suddenly, a hand, buried deep in my dark locks
Where do we go when we go?
Who can we ask?
I don't know.
I know who I should
But I don't think they would
Tell me cause I want to know.
I.
This man,
though some considered sour,
died from laughter.
II.
A pair of identical twins,
could never tell them apart
so one wonders who got this spot.
Mystery, mundanity;
normality profound
proffers suggestions
to bold quivering chin.
A man! I can be
as charade hysterical
flowing through brain
of body ephemeral,
briefly insane.
I regret nothing.
(I regret everything.)
I’ve lived a full life.
(I’m only 17!)
My family will understand.
(They’re going to kill me.)
It’s not like none of them have never slipped up!
Doubt, doubt, whine and pout
Sore, sore, because you know nothing anymore
