Jolly Lolly

Sad sad goodbyes
Tears in the rain;
TV drama

~~~~~~~~~


Old man writes
Amusing musings;
Laughs madly aloud

~~~~~~~~~


Memory recites
Changes lyrics;
Good old daze

~~~~~~~~~


Morning mist
Cold chilly wind;
Sun on vacation

~~~~~~~~~


Limping man
Walks his dog;
Sight for sore eyes

~~~~~~~~~


Old heritage tree
Ancient times linger;
Living relic

~~~~~~~~


News highlight
Men killing men;
Wars never end

~~~~~~~~~


A cruel race we are
Style sweet smiles;
Turn around and kill

~~~~~~~~~


Jolly Lolly fun
Old ice cream treat;
Extinct as the dinosaur

~~~~~~~~~


My darling sleeps
Speaks in a dream;
Murmurs lovely things

~~~~~~~~~


Just for a while
Shopping briefly;
Fatigue comes quick

~~~~~~~~~


Crowded lift
Strange motley faces;
Checking e-devices

~~~~~~~~~


Ancient evenings
TV for company;
Life goes on

~~~~~~~~~
