poems

Twitter dust canary,

Oh you turn up here today
Oh a face from the past
I was not expect this today
On this New Year eve
Oh why did you show up today

All those years ago
All those people
I had to let you go

I am going to fight for the right to be
Me
And you can tell me what to be
No way
Just get out of the way

I can’t stand all this upset from you
Just go away

Losing a friend

I wonder things some times
Pondering to help me cope
Like all things being equal
Fat people use more soap

Some people think that life's a joke
It's an opinion shared by many folk
And that's their choice, which is fine
But just think about the punch line

George was unhappy
With his wife’s erratic mood swings
And his work mates
Told him of the benefit s of mood rings
So he went out a bought one
So he might monitor her mood

little pig party

Before I met my husband
I'd never been in love
Although on reflection
I'd stepped in it on occasion

You never really learn
To swear or cuss
Until you learn to drive
A car or bus

My wife wants me to start taking exercise
But not for my own sake to be plain
The only reason she wants me to exercise
Is so she can hear heavy breathing again

A languid sigh and the luxury of motion
as you rise up from stillness and silence
shrugging off your redundant clothes
all at once, like a cat
washes off winter by a warming fire.

Think about it... Yes, it's an acrostic!

My husband is like
Those horoscopes you can get
He tells me what to do
And he's never been right yet

It takes neurotics
To build castles in the air
But it takes psychotics
To live in them there

I joined a health club last year
It cost two hundred pounds so quite dear
I haven’t lost a single pound
So as an investment not very sound
But it wasn’t their fault to be fare

What it says

A hastily constructed homage to Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis, inspired by his book 'Dom Casmurro', and specifically the unfinished sonnet to which the title of the poem alludes...

the new year

I'm sorry that I broke
Your favourite oven dish
Especially in light
Of the anecdote you had just recounted
About the salmon dinner.

I am also sorry
For the Chinese bowl
Now splintered stuck
