Brace & Race Poem by John Sensele

Bless and stress the quest for stress free success
Witness and press for measures to minimize mess.
Bless souls whose goals don't trample on transient tramps
Although arrant vagrants who rant grant lumps of mumps and dunce dumps.

Bless masses lasses whose class amasses no ill gotten wealth
For all parts of their hearts and carts dart for no stealth.
Bless faces and laces whose dress sparkle alongside accessories
Although lads and bards shamble nearby in romantic factories.

Bless waitresses whose sterling duty earn them a wedding ring
Earned by dint of humility, integrity and fidelity with no attached string.
Bless buttresses and mattresses that buoy boys in danger of drowning
Under duress at the hands of bullies and coolies who eulogize fawning.

Bless leaders of nations whose incarnation towers
The global village in every tillage and tutelage powering social lawn mowers.
Bless housewives whose knives cut tomatoes and onions
Added to dishes served to husbands who hold horrible opinions.
