ONE ADVANTAGE OF GROWING OLD
Sometimes as we age…as we hit the downside of our prime
we have a tendency to forget things…occasionally to lose track of the time.
And even though our memory becomes something we can’t always seem to manage
there are those days…those moments…when we can use this to our advantage.
The other day I woke up convinced that is was

the one advantage a rabbit has
Rabbits ears are the one advantage they have says one
they are delicate, so these ears are a warning to run
rabbits keep them straight up, pointed to the sun
For their enemies are all over the place, says one.

You Took Advantage
You took advantage of me
My youth and gullibility
A medical professional held in such high esteem
Yet behind a closed door evil schemed
An older gentleman with charismatic charm
Interested, funny, reassuring, calm
Highly regarded ,recommended, well known
No fear at all of being with you alone
A bustling surgery with comings and goings
Streams of patients that just kept flowing
My appointments

Kill with kindness
The quotes say's kill them with kindness,
so you offer the most righteous kind of kindness you can,
And they take that kindness that you so carefully cultivated and nurtured,
And with gates wide open you allow them to freely pick from your kindness Orchard,
But through arrogance and greed they take advantage of this act of kindness,
Taking more

Manage My Advantage with much Plantage Horn Haiku
when with much plantage
would want to take advantage
of poems i manage
while being a sage
would write my poems page by page
which was latest rage
with capacity
would have much tenacity
for sagacity
had a head with bone
either against wall would stone
or leave me alone
when he was a priest
together puzzle had pieced
he would be a beast
had been annoyed
horrible hemorrhoid
was celluloid
when pneumonic

Advantage of Being Childlike
What is that? I asked staring into the rainbow mist.
There was movement, and it was coming hard and fast.
Others did not see, but I ran toward the rainbow.
Determined to see what I thought I saw.
No one ran after me; people consider me strange.
Pixies, elves, faeries and a leprechaun greeted me.
Where are the others? The leprechaun

The Sun
You've great eyes my dear,
Why do you hide?
Away from the sight of men.
Your presence alone,
Kills the Cold
Making the water
Warm for a cool bathe
Why do you hate?
When men come near.
Our skeleton are full of energy
Our feelings, more positive.
As our brains release hormones
Through the increase of your light
We only come to say thank you

Haeccity Heard
Hastily stretched, crackled urgent ocean edge relents
Ashamed attempt to escape rejoins campaign of mass
Furtive dig below propels conspirator spasm, next next
Murders brash bouys, cranky spa champagne embrace
Swum undulations, bare back mermaid's dips resurface
Her furvour ploughs halobiont plenty scape, nourished
Snapped lobster lavishly celebrates bountiful turquoise
Sway gaze brazen by bobbing safe island encouraged
Crill swirl sweeps dripped lips,

Taking Advantage of Critical Comments
Being criticized by sage
it's totally flattering
tremendously stimulating...
Being criticized by ignorant,
it's execration and cursing,
it's almost death sentence...

Bald and Bold
Baldies of the world, do not despair!
It's not the end, you just lost some hair!!
Balder men are more virile, thus spake a sage
And many a woman "testify" to this old adage..
Balder men are noted to be wise and mature
Trusted by everyone, their thoughts kind and pure
No need for shampoos, combs or for hair
