Warning to those here for their daily dose of “funny.” Most of these aren’t. Sorry!<\/p>\n
My passionate hunt
\nfor humor in the mundane—
\na chastening quest.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Vulgar temptation
\nhaunts, tantalizes, prevails—
\nbeats dainty retreat.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Passionate and raw
\nfeelings too painful to root
\nescape on breached wings.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Integrity fights
\na war against temptation—
\nbattles to a draw.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
A thought tempts, glimmers,
\nsays “explore me,” then wings off—
\nnever to return.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Marching to the beat
\nof your own drum may work best
\nin solo parades.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
To those who ask me
\nhow I remember my verse—
\nthat’s what blogs are for.<\/p>\n
