THE REPLY

There was this little boy
who found the many joys
hanging at the mall
buying all the toys.

There was this little girl
who dreamed of a spinning world
every time she'd talk
she'd find that she would hurl.

One day girl caught boys eye
a fire burned deep inside
visions of her danced in his head
his emotions running wild.

The boy decided to say "Hi"
as the girl was passing by
I won't tell you what she said
I won't tell you her reply.

ABSURD?

Once upon a sunny morn
I happened on a soul forlorn.
When questioning the reason why,
he said twas sad we could not fly.

My silence went unnoticed there.
He seemed to have no time to spare
from his thoughts to make a plan
to fulfill this dream of man.

I watched him as he viewed the birds
and thought, "this man is quite absurd".
But just as I thought to call it a day
his feet left ground and he flew away.

CONTEMPLATION

Thoughtful grasshopper
Lands upon my knee
Feet scratching together
Contemplatively ruminating
Upon the insect.........
That is me.

PLEASANT TORMENT

You push me around and force me out
Uncover me to tail from snout
Wrap me up and swing me about
You enjoy this no doubt

But I was nice and warm inside
You would not leave me there to hide
Now air hits me like the tide
As light surrounds me outside

You rub away the dirt and grime
Talking in gibberish all the time
Waiting for a little whine
You are guilty of no crime

For though I wish I was still within
Your actions are not ones of sin
I will not weep for what has been
Soon my love you will win

For I, a puppy, was born today
And soon I will know my way
In this world, come what may
All I want to do is play!

THE URINAL COLONEL

At me my dad would always shout
Then one day he got mad and threw me out
He was a wreck and said I made him nervous
With nowhere to go he said "try the services"
So I shaved my head just to impress
The recruiting officer so he wouldn't guess
That I was born with two left feet
So my big toes will never meet
To the left, to the left, I got no right
To the left, to the left, well not quite
But the armed services turned me down
Because I can only march round and round
As I turned to go, wondering what would I do
The Sargent said but we still have a job for you
They trained me special in hand to hand
Because they said of this my job would demand
Now I brush and polish till they glow nocturnal
And that is why they call me the urinal Colonel

JUVENILE DELINQUENT

I am a juvenile delinquent or cant you tell
And juvey hall knows me quiet well
They wish I was old enough to send to jail
So I could have my very own cell

I am a juvenile delinquent you see
And it is society that is down on me
We were just looking for sexual release
I didn't know her father was the chief of police

I am a juvenile delinquent and you should know
You turn your back and to the streets I will go
I'll drink with the drunkards and smoke with the bums
Hang on the corners till the paddy wagon comes

I cant go home you see my mother hates me
I wont go home because my daddy beats me
And then there's granny swinging on the out house door
Without her night and grandpa yelling more more more
