#1) Diaper Land

People are life's diaper
full of crappy crap.
Some they can be hyper,
others want to nap.

A mean and nasty mind
gives out a foul voice.
Trust it is unkind,
an independant choice.

Live a life of shame
and fusty you'll become.
Try and change the game
and you will be less glum.

If the smell is rotten
a smelly niffy poop.
Blame the misbegotten,
odorous, rancid group.

If we change the nappy
a happier bum we'll be.
Better a happy chappy,
than a lousy nasty we...

#2) Power

Today there is hatred where there should be love,
Spread by our leaders who settled for fear,
Innocents suffer, while corruption expands,
Yet most just bury their head in the sand.

We all have power, we all have rights
When’s the last time you used it to do what is right
Abuse is abuse, no exceptions permitted
Call out the guilty, this is befitted

It’s time for this nation to unite together.

Stop blaming the people seeking help,
the people trying to make a living here,
the people who truly have no power
to affect the problems we are facing today.

Call out the hate people are spreading.

Do not be afraid to do what is right.
Stop surrounding yourself
with only people who think like yourself
instead listen to the fears of others.

Have the courage to face them.
Have the wisdom to know what is hurtful.
Above all, let’s show our leaders
we will not take it anymore.

Call your representatives,
force them to respond to the funding they receive.
If they won’t represent us,
let’s replace them with someone who will.

Immigrants are not the problem,
having a sexual preference is not the problem,
poor people are not the problem,
minorities are not the problem.

The real problems our nation faces
are caused by the beneficiaries of the current system.
The corporations who received tax cuts,
the businesses profiting from death,
lenders who use unethical lending practices.

The last four years have allowed fear
to spread and created a hatred
that may take generations to go away.

Let’s do our part.
Let’s start the end of fear.
Let’s start the beginning of courage.

Prosperity will come when corruption is done.

#3) Trouble on the Poop Deck

Back then Admiral Hornblower controlled
all the coast of Spain where he waylaid
New World ships bearing the kings gold.
A cabin boy aloft on the stern was bade:
watch for warships, falter not, be bold,
never leave this post, above all be staid.

Stomach rumbled, breakfast slop and gruel
warred in his guts for early blest release
but he kept his post ‘spite fits so cruel
he felt sure he’d need that final priest,
‘til he, embarrassed, dropped a jewel
worthy of the deck that it did grease.

Yet he did stay and maintain post
regardless of the stinking mess,
called ship ahoy off Iberian coast
upon seeing three sails no less.
First mate thought he smelt a ghost
but praised the lad nevertheless.

So they gave that deck a fitting name
after the acts of the boy not to blame

#4) B itching...

At last a place where I can b itch,
so here is where I lay my pitch.

To lay out here for all to see,
what it is that aggravates me.

Politicians who lie and cheat,
weave and weedle in their deceit.

Food boxes with half the content,
is not worth all the money spent.

Loud people with outrageous laugh,
really grinds and begins to chaff.

Rain when I've just done the washing,
clean clothes now left wet and sloshing.

Men who cut down a healthy tree,
wrong at all levels cant you see?

There's no excuse to be so rude,
your morals must be slightly skewed.

Folk who play music that's blaring,
provoke others to end up swearing.

White van drivers who speed and swerve,
a drivers bann, is what they deserve.

Tiny ice creams for lots of money,
it's so sad its almost funny.

Dog owners that don't pick up poop,
Thoughtless moran, it's just one scoop!

My moans and groans are done at last,
I don't feel now quite so harassed.

Whining works fine, at least for me,
think I'll do this regularly.

#5) Underpants

Underpants underpants, we wear you on our head, we don't care what we look like and we can't hear what you said.

Underpants underpants, your sizes they do vary from extra large to medium and then to just plain scary.

Underpants underpants, You come in different shapes, there's g-strings, thongs or boxers and red briefs for heroes who wear capes.

Underpants underpants, sometimes you get so smelly, as what we've eaten through that day does blow out from our belly.

Underpants underpants, I'm off to buy some new, I think I just ruined these I accidentally followed through.

These all look really good. I'm presuming that anyone on the site can vote by sending in to you direct their first, second and third votes?

Yes, ma’am. That is correct.

Keep the votes coming.

The winners will be announce on August 17.

Keep the votes coming.
