PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

many are so incredibly careful

not to step on anyone's toes

that they invariably end up

trampling upon their very own

to the point where known clutzes

won't come anywhere near them

and to think

shear animal magnetism

likely began just this way

humanity's own

'Slow Pokes Coup'

the age old pitting of one's self

against the punishing force of

the human sex drive

why its physical hell of which not

a single one of us could ever hope

to claim any even remote victory over

well, except for maybe say

The Pope

and the only true line of tangible

defense he has is his being in his

tottering dotage

now

but

one must wonder

what he used years before

faith along with the use of a very

large ugly looking staff

(so to better beat them 'his desires'

back with a stick)
