A Few Parts of Speech for the TSA

To scan or fondle, choices, choices. I have a few adjectives to describe the madness, but this is a family site.


Poem Artwork

 

Boobs flopping slowly

From side to side

The agent watched the scanner

Now that you’ve seen

My dangling participles

That me dotting my I’s and

Crossing my T’s

Is more like your eyes

Crossing my T’s & A

But never mind…anything

To protect my fellow passenger

From a madman who has chosen to stuff

A giant firecracker up his Symbolic Colon

Even though body cavities are invisible

To this silly machine

Which I suppose is marginally better

Than Bubba fondling my privates

Far better to be a scanned indirect object

Rather than a direct object of Bubba

Even though you have to object directly

To be a direct object

Which I guess makes sense

But Bubba is a security officer

Making him a perfect example

Of a predicate nominative

And if he’s gay and I accept the scan

Does that make me a homograph

And him a homographer

Even though I am not gay

Or is this just some other wild form of

Government sponsored video pornography

Whose daily interjection into my personal life

Is amplified by the insertion, ouch!

Of Bubba’s wand into my posterior

Searching for Janet Napolitano’s holy grail

Oh, there’s a grail in there alright

But it’s not very holy

Full cavity search

Have at it

Did I mention

I ate a dozen bean burritos for lunch

I’ve got a lexical verb for your situation

RUN!

So clever and ludicrously funny!
Say, an old friend of mine was just explaining over the tele (and she had to explain over and over because I was completely horrified) how her boyfriend travels with pot up his bum bum. I realize I'm off topic, but is that not the most discusting thing you have ever heard?!!!
That's why I had to tell you, I knew I had to tell you and it's true!
Blessings,
Christine

"Even though I am not gay" Hmmmm? Me thinks you protest too much Mister Patrick. As always, clever, smart, funny, humorous and... last but not least, guttural.

Glad i don't fly, but when will they start doing all this for train trips or bus trips...as those are able to be attacked too, aren't they? Think I will just stay in my very own car...I just saw a little boy being stripped searched & thought maybe the security guy liked maybe little boys...e

All those isotopes fondling privates. We could catch dis-ease.

I'm for dogs doing what they do best, sniffing our privates.

This is very funny about a very serious situation.

If these buritos should activate the rocketfuel tanked up in your booster rocket, would you be flying by the seat of your pants so to speak, and would Bubba, be shooting off his rocket, so many questions you raise, yet your levity gives me much uplift, flying has never been so much fun. Keep em coming my friend, your flying high, elevating and boosting my spirits. Bless ya! Jasmin Horst
