Best Skipper Poems

To the rock
   That wished to fly
   Like a butterfly 

   Sent skipping along
   The mirrored sky
   Bearing a Layton sigh

   Do you feel alive?







*Skipper: a type of butterfly

*Layton: Irving Layton 1912-2006

There once was a skipper called Handy
With his girl crew became very randy.
   In his strategic place,
   One kick see his face,
He now sings soprano, just like Mandy....

I have a young dog, a fair dog, a good dog.
Each day, with bent head and swift paw
He follows me; he leads me over hill and over dale.

This young dog, this fair dog, this good dog
Trots by me through forest grim
And still is there when...

you …

skipped me
like a polished little stone …
you couldn’t pitch me away like any sparingly

Big Ben chimes again
With Bazball zen
One of those men
From special stock
Shepherd of the flock
Hewn from strewn Volcanic rock

From New Zealand's Southern Isle

They forged this bellicose beast
Ripsnorting sporting cavorting squire  
Glutton...
