Best Hearses Poems
Black
...Dream of love
All the colors

Gone
...Gone are the demons, gone are the gangs
No more mafia in their ranks.
Gone are the criminals, don't need police.
Don't need lawyers, those reformed make peace.
Money is extinct, no more bank......

Afterlife
...I held the hand of Jesus last night,
He woke me this morning and we looked outside.

The poor and lonely fade with their curses.
The sun don't shine under the bridge.
The rains came down, washed out the ridge.
Their hope flew out their broken......

You'Re Never Too Old
...Joe and Ann liked to play docs and nurses
When their kids all came home there were curses
Well the problem you see

And both not quite ready for their hearses......

Me and Me First
...That soft-spoken Sovereign commands a big stick,
runs the world into ruins, once our bailiwick.

Mom's Eulogy

without further obfuscating and camouflaging the soul.
The faces in the funeral pews are impassive, impatient
and the dead woman cares not what'......

Grey Liberation Day
...Appeared to be a normal day,
At our University of the Third Age,
Grannies and Grandads writing epic lit.,
Forgot our hearing aids and blankets....

Drank our coffee......

Emerging from the downtown hardware store
I saw a strange funeral procession
Two black limo hearses were at the front
Then walked a man without expression
The man had a shaggy dog on ......

The Homecoming
...THE HOME COMING(RUMI)
I am coming home
Home where I belong
Home where the heart is
Tired, scared, very weary.
My feelings all so dreary
I’m now slowly trudging home
Home where I belong
I ......

I Am the Project Air Bridge
...I am the Project Air Bridge,
The veritable virus lord-cum-felon of duty fraud.

They Tax Our Axes
...They want to tax our axes
Then, take away our trees.
They impose cell phone taxes.
Then, laugh and shoot the breeze.

Dresses, dishes, finches, fishes.

Acting chivalry needing to defend
Thackray who never was
Due to the wasp woman wanting buzz
Gunners waited for Watford to arrive
“Foul!” they did claim in a cry

...The sun descends this cloudless night
A moon for howling, full and bright
A moon by which the bats take flight
And wolf-men and the undead bite
Stretchered in, a bite mark cruel
He won’t heal ......
