Ima Ryma Poems

Longer goes life expectancy,
With age dementia on the rise.
Soon, whole generations could be
Living veggies before one dies.
...

A vegan, my boyfriend is not,
But thanks to the heads up on lips,
Wearing a red lipstick that's got
Crushed up beetles in it - he flips
...

Speech is free, consequences not.
Results vary in time and place.
Humans communicate a lot,
Part of charm of the human race.
...

At greatest risk are young and gay,
Of infection by H.I.V.
Such youth are prone to throw away
Safe sense for curiosity.
...

The war continued to wage on,
Far, far away on foreign land.
At home, public support was gone,
Hard for soldiers to understand.
...

The fictional sleuth, Charlie Chan,
Solved crimes on the page and the screen.
Best known West-friendly Chinaman,
Seen both positive and obscene.
...

We 'celebrate' Columbus Day,
Named for a guy who came by ship,
Never to touch the U.S.A.
Pretty much on an ego trip.
...

I was a U.S. citizen,
Who became its sworn enemy,
Leading an army of like men
To make the U.S. cease to be.
...

'Man is the only animal
That blushes, or needs to.' Mark Twain
Said those wise words - so insightful
Of his species that shows so plain.
...

I am in Birdland at the zoo.
My cell phone falls into a flock
Of pelicans, and out of view.
One gulps the phone, but will not talk.
...
