Best Lilliputians Poems
ShowdownThe Lilliputians are out playing ball
Enjoying the fresh air of late Fall
When storm clouds roll in
Hulking Gullivers, wearing wide grins...
A Gull warns 'em, 'Fun's over, guys.'
'Cos the court belongs to us now
But the Lillis brace...

Hard DecisionsPeople find tough decisions hard to make
But each involving choice has its reward
That supersedes the price of the sacrifice,-
A deserved prize that the soft cannot afford.
A lot of will is required to oppose
The urges that entertain the body,
The thrills that tempt the frail soul
That...

Legal RomanceLEGAL ROMANCE
Law,
Let me plague you
With the infectious love of my heart.
Now that I bear the aftermath of your infections,
And your cold blood boils in me
Like a volcanic eruption,
Let me make babies in the factory of your womb.
My amorous cuddlesome arms
That carry a...

For Stephen KeshiHow come Stephen,
When do you forget defence?
Why don't you hack death with your golden boot?
Do not disappoint me,
Do not let me down Keshi,
Your crown is medal-made;
Roam not with lilliputians
Whose blazer is calico
Whose utensil is mud
Whose bread is shaft and husk
Whose shelter is raffia...
But dwell...

Travails of LifeI traveled with Gulliver in his travails
Often times involving in shipwreck-
Or becoming prisoner of the Lilliputians of life.
I sailed on the ocean of life-
Getting marooned on an island called strife.
I must live; but life someday I must leave.
I thread this path with none to...

Argh Daylight Savings Time March 14th 2021Argh Daylight Savings Time – March 14th, 2021
Once again, yours truly
dishes out his regular dose
of literary gobbledygook
even Count Dracula
would not even bat an eye
nor give me his evil,
(albeit harmless) look
regarding feeble effort I undertook.
Don't forget hour hands
of clocks spring forward
sixty minutes 2:00 AM on
Sunday...

Children will believe anything
In talking animals
And moons made of cheese
Fairy castles
With shinning knights
And magic doors
Secret gardens
Dwarfs and Trolls
Evil kings and Evil Queens
Snow White dreams
Arabian Princesses
Warlocks and Witches
Yes children will believe in anything
Mermaids and cities beneath the sea
Great monsters
Unicorns and Dragons
Kids are so easily lied...

This DerelictionA Nation, wearied, sapped traumatized.
This vast exotic land, fringed by lush emerald jungles
A spark rising from the west, once looked upon by all,
A giant?
No, faded glory.
Vistas of burning star and torrential rivers
Once revered, now a derelict of crumbled epitaph ...
