Best Spose Poems

I feel privileged.

I have been chosen by the Government 
as part of a group testing something called 
Edible Clinical Marijuana.

Honestly I half expected it to look like a Burrito 
because the name sounds sort of Mexican. 

It actually looks more like a brownie. 
I’m am...

Thirsty

I could tell right away he was up ta sum thin.
I could see it in doze beady eyes!
His wordz were smooth in a snake like sorta way,
my pappy says heze city smooth.
He don't look like nobody round here,
he wears dat fancy tree pieze suit

I reckon some folks prefer a hound dog lyin' at their feet,
While others might enjoy a twitterin' parakeet.
But be it a mogul's mansion or a humble flat,
A house just ain't a home without an inscrutable cat!

Thankfully, my cat doesn't bark or scourge my pristine lawn,
Nor...

I 'spose there are many religious tenets open to interpretation.
Old John Calvin proposed another upon receiving inspiration,
When he propounded the ticklish matter of predestination,
Thereby, causing more angst concerning one's eternal salvation!

Most folks blithely saunter along live's treacherous path,
Trying their best to behave and avoid their...

Pickles Graham 1950

In the kitchen of a large sheep station in western Queensland
at Dirranbandi the boss lady was talking to the staff.
She was going to the ball that evening and was parading about,
in her evening wear, and scarf.

Finally it came, her turn to speak to...

Can't tell 'er much t'welp
Times t'slow ter'eal
Waitin' erts as much as
Not bein' able towug 'er

A tele hug t' taste away a tear
telper stand t'face 'er fear
but she's not 'ere
Or is she?

spose you will ignore me old friend,
but twenty years you smiled,
i was never perfect,
but we travelled many miles,
i have 3 people who won't know me,
mark john and diana, vile,
i know you want your privacy,
gets lonesome just sometimes....

The times have fallen hard now, to scenes played on 'unmade' roads
Without my volition, and despite intentions, goals;
Indifference took precedence; a lust of life was part,
The key to understanding then, as now,Was placed a piece apart;
Carousing life held quietude.?
Whilst roles to play stood by, as...

A CHILD’S CONCERN

Guess he was ninety years old
Had a cat that died, so we were told
Accordin to dad, his name was Ralph
And old Ralph liked to talk to his self
He sat on the porch every day
Watchin people pass along the way
Old Ralph was so old...

Slim's cowboy hat warn't no fancy Stetson, that's fer shore!
He'd paid five smackeroos fer it in a Sears 'n' Roebuck store.
But it served him jes as well through his cowboyin' years,
Roundin' up, ropin' 'n' brandin' cantankerous longhorn steers.

It didn't have no fancy rattlesnake band er...

Through all the years of ranchin’;
The hardships, bumps and lies—
There’s some things you don’t like
And lots of things you plum despise.

But of the things that irk you,
Like landin’ in cow pies—
The thing you hate the most
Is when your horse rolls back her eyes!

You knowed that...

It’s 5am it’s cold this morn,
Black as night I am forlorn,
The weather here is chilly,
A verse rattles round my head ,
Get on the computer silly.

Brown eyed Jane she isn’t plain,
She comes to me a teasing,
Her hubby won’t tween ,
her thighs be laying .
a bit of...

No one has to shop in stores
in a way I spose that's fine
"The heck with old tradition"
let's all shop - On-Line!

No more exchanging seasons pleasantries
with other people that you meet
as you go from store to store
as you travel down the street.

They've eliminated creativity
when you just...
