'Least likely' times three, Putting me through difficulty To persuade me to go away, Axing with, "Have a nice day..." So much for a 'Protection Plan'! That maze through which no one can, Defeat the 'Crooked Counterplan'! The 'gods of profit' win again! (sigh) 'Most likely' times three, These "gods of profit' turn beastly, And poison justice everywhere, Until their profit becomes a snare! Israel's leaders blind and...

The magic wrought alone… Now, nice strong. houses builds: Vibrated blocks for them wields All Strong Generators Withstand Incinerators… Amos I’d taught in Okpo A World I’d sought her succour: From a tough part of the clan; She could go to war no plan’ I would never forget Amaiyi: Sounds much like Poet Niyi. Four years it...

Amos
How utterly shocking it was To see his smile fading like a flower Withering in summer's hot sun, He who with his ‘Good Morn' would pause ‘Pon delivering office papers And daily supply of goodwill With his customary broad smile Only to melt soon as a moon Might behind monsoon's grey clouds, And dissolve unto...

Amos 9:13
You stole my son without communication leaving me in massive distress. With no regard to my feelings as I laid my soul to rest. I died that night maybe two or three times you see. You’ll never know how much he means to me. You’ll always be the reaper as declared by the Lord. I’m the faithful plowman waiting for...

A Conversation With Amos On a Bench By the Limerick Bandstand
"Howdy Amos”, “Howdy Seth” as Amos points to the empty seat Next to him on the bench by the Limerick Town Bandstand. Amos t’aint much for words but he’s a pretty good pointer. “Whatcha doing, Amos?” “Sittin’”. Did I say Amos t’aint much for words? However, it seems that Amos likes to sit on the bench during the shift...

Watching Amos Plowing With Horses
“Howdy Amos”, “Howdy Seth”, without a glance. Amos t’aint much for words as he stares straight ahead His gaze as straight as his furrows. Amos is what you might call a “deep thinker”. I watch as he bounces up and down on the plow hitch The bells on his mighty Percherons jingling with each practiced step As they perform their timeworn...

Premium Member Amos and Me
We were relaxing on the bed, Amos and me. He is my He-cat, older, set in his ways you see. I have to calm down a bit, or he holds me down. Sometimes I am too bouncy, he gives me a frown. Today it is raining, we are up on Mom’s bed. I am leaned over his side. Man, he...

To My Chum Amos
Out of sight and ought of mind is a philosophy vain, It holds not a bit between friends of standing; (Not even between enemies, again!) The more time takes you from sight, Much more your thoughts arrest my mental train; And I can’t help but pen this rhyme, To treat the wound wreaked by time. Till again we meet these two...
