Painters strive for the perfect stroke
Comedians look for the perfect joke
Writers seek to engage or provoke
P0rn stars strain for the perfect poke
Students grind, hoping they won’t choke
Trump derides his conviction as a hoax
Yachtsmen yearn for the perfect boat
Social climbers aspire to be bespoke
Politicians pretend to be regular folk
Workers yearn to throw off their yoke

On the Irony of Their Ways
My heart in search of peace and love
Now finds the world’s ironic deeds.
They wage a war for peace, they rove
In streets the roaring rifle bleeds.
For God they clash, for cash they fake.
They race their life to reach nowhere.
Their schools unteach, no good they make.
‘Be loved’ they want, no love they care.
I hope, for sure, the

Alien Aims
Once an alien with eyes like LASER
Greeted me with a green TASER
He told me he was registered as a WASP
And after retirement would join the AARP
He was driven by the FOMO
And said his motto was YOLO
His aim was to become POTUS
Or at the least the fair FLOTUS
If not, he'd train for the BAFTA
And seal

We Wait
And we wait… we wait for things to get shway
For life to get sweeter
For water to get warmer
For air to get gentle
We wait for oxygen to fill us with extravagance energies
For the breeze to activate our Neurons
We wait… we wait for an Alchemist to come
And bring a change in our lives
The kind of change

Cupid Aims His Arrow
Cupid aims his arrow
Hunter with his bow
Thinks he: It's a simple matter
Of his weapon aimed just so...
Love's not such easy prey
To be captured with one shot
She demands more time, more patience
Than any Cupid's got

Political Aims
Around the world the bombs are flying.
Political aims. Political lying.
Treaties are friendships, or so they’re implying;
As long as all parties are meekly complying.
Self-interested means, are always belying
The truth of the war; the truth underlying.
And we’ll call them soldiers, those men who are dying.
Not daddy, not brother, nor son, cause we’re trying
To ignore the sounds of

An and the Aims
To invent something,
that's just AN aim,
but THE aim is to
give it your name.

She Aims To End His Fun
In dead of night he sneaked around.
He thought he was a player.
Two steps behind without a sound,
she followed her betrayer.
And this is not a bb gun.
She's gonna curtail all his fun!
While he was using girls for sport,
she formed a little plan.
His foolish games she soon would thwart.
Cos' he's a married man!
And this is not a
