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
