Though genetically close to an Orang Utan
With his larger cranial cavity 
He discovered the law of gravity

Atilla the Hun
Was a man who liked innocent fun
After a day of rape and pillage 
He played cricket for his village

King William the Conqueror

There is a certain spot within my soul 
That craves an Autumn scene 
Before the Earth runs cold, 
And slippers Mother Nature 
In a wealth of bunny dust. 

A poet needs to sing of Spring, 
Once, before his book is closed; 
For all the best...

The squirrel collects,
to keep his winter safe.
The oak tree buds,
not a branch left out of place.

The grass will grow,
another spring comes forth.
The flowers will bloom,
the ducks and geese fly north.

The birds will sing,
as if hatched from a master plan.
The bunnies dance and run around,
this greening...

Abstaining from the way monkeys do

Building a meaningful relationship with you
Will you be a precept of Adam’s rib come into view

The concept of fleshly rib is just not déjà vu 
 No logic of flesh has ever been true...

Cotton Candy is a pumpkin who
Is known as White Pepo too.
Her nice rounded shell
She keeps very well,
And one day she met Baby Boo.

Baby Boo is quite small, and at night
He might glow, an albino pure white.
He is both good looking
And good at cooking!
He and white...

Ivo, I certainly do not find this poem to my liking;
Notwithstanding, I encourage you to keep on writing
Just because I don't like this one you don't have to be sad.
I do enjoy most of your writings, kid. Aren't you glad?...

In truth Clare Quilty 
Was clearly guilty, 
While humble Humbert Humbert 
Was fervently pervert. 
The issue to talk of 
What told us Nabokov ?...

It's Spain's Toledo in Castile at times of Reconquest 
The pic of history entails both love and war along with Jewish people drama zest 
My fellow Jews, who are advisers to the kings, - to you I issue my advise:

What is justice? What is right
In a world consumed by greed?
What can we do when justice is gone
and the law can't intercede?

We need to heed sound instruction.
We require the power to trust.
We desire a new dimension.
This directive is a must!

So sack the politicians;
The judges should...

The white on black, the black on white 
Explosive mix it makes, so easy to ignite 
By jealousy venom, inserted drop by drop into suspicious mind, 
And vicious fantasies force fatal spring of hate to wind. 
And there you go ... flame of rage

I went to The Jester’s Tea Party
In the tower with the winding stair
Frida Kahlo manned the door
And God and the Devil were there
The artist was stood in the shadows
Silently summoning me
To stand with him like a tiny child
At the edge of an innocent sea
He showed...

Before actions go around to come around,
all deeds ascend up, then truth lessons shower down.
Such is the universe’s tried, true recipe
that has been employed for all of history.

Whether conduct is good, bad or otherwise,
all human behavior meets heaven’s keen eyes.
If we say it, pray it,...
