GUIDED MISSILE
I was lost.
I needed to hear
at all cost
which way to steer.
Traditional ethics
had faded away,
leaving me stranded,
not knowing the way.
They called themselves The Knowing,
but their music sucked eggs.
Naught but crap bestowing,
nothing that had legs.
I found a castoff copy
of one of their CDs,
titled The Big Boppy
and smelling of bad cheese.
My player was broken
when I put in the CD.
Every word that was spoken
came out backwards to me.
As the music played on
I was careful to hear
every word of each song,
which came out loud and clear:
“Put your best foot forward and never look back.
Open the windows and doors more than just a crack.
Initiative has its reward, and that’s a fact.
Be proud of your writing, never redact.
“Play the lottery to win big,
or go online and find a good poetry gig.
Always play your high cards first,
especially when you are playing on Friendburst.
“The bigger the bets, the more you win.
But if you lose, the bigger the chagrin.
Dont put all your chips on one number, bet on them all.
If you have a lucky number, listen to it call.
“Give all you’ve got for a good cause,
even if what you are risking gives you pause.
Just don’t forget:
When the boy turned into the Shaggy Dog,
the change gave him paws.
“One always has to pay the cost to be the boss,
yet the gain may be much greater than the loss.
Live large and feel the illusion of being in charge
until they put your body on the funeral barge.
“If the getting is good, pull up a chair and stay awhile.
If the getting is bad, try to avoid saying anything vile.
Some of the above gave off a nice warm glow.
The rest on my worst enemy I would not bestow.
By the time I realized some of that advice stinks,
I’d already had two drinks to help straighten the kinks.
I was two shots short of being high
and two shots beyond feeling low.
The best of advice gave a nice warm glow.
It grew on me like sweet peas in the richest loam
Good advice if you want to be a star in life’s show:
“Go big, or stay home.”

Two shots short of being high

MAKING A BIG SPLASH
by Barbara K
A CPC Collab
Come really big
and make a giant splash;
we’ll have lots of fun,
we’ll have an absolute blast.
There’s nothing to lose,
so leave the blues behind;
come big and come now,
don’t even worry about how.
We’re already having fun,
but the best is yet to come
after you get here,
so come on over right now.
Don’t worry about anything
or what anyone might say;
don’t worry about tomorrow,
just focus on today.
We’re giving it our best shot
and doing what we can;
we’ll show them what we’ve got,
going really big
instead of staying home
