Bombay Poems

I‘m a pigeon
Free in flight
Circling blue skies up above
Somewhere in the world
Makes no difference to me
Taking no particular pride
Whether I hover over Paris
Rainforest of Brazil
Sunset at the Eiffel Tower
Las Vegas or Bombay
I find beauty everywhere I go
Not particularly vain or...Read More

Gather around an I'll tell ye a tale
Of infamous pirates who in their hey day
Lived in old Bull Bay.
These guys were scurvy naves, cut throats, liars,
Thieves, and believe it or not it all added up to 
Typical drunks who would...Read More

We had a garden gnome named Griselda
the bane of our small bungalow
she was nasty and mean, at times quite obscene
the worst that you ever could know!

Her garden mate, Gregor, had feared her
but one day he mustered the nerve
with all of...Read More

A cute gentile pig in New York
plays hopscotch over turtle hurdles
which eased her bunny
until a smack talking turkey announced,
'Did you hear how the skunks in bombay
lost a spelling bee - to an
artistic aardvark named clark?'

Around her, muttering mosquitoes
Dear teddy bear,...Read More

Skunks have religious sanctum in Bombay
Protected from hunting both night and day
Skunk whisper was good
But misunderstood
When in skunk language they said, "Let us spray!"...Read More

While i sit
In this Damp rotten cave
The cliffs to high
I tried
In vain
Low tide
Lets me see
Outside
For a time
Before breaking waves
Force me 
Inside
How many years
I've spent
In this darkness
This dampness
This rotten cave
No seaman
Should suffer
This torturest sentence
I know i am long dead
As the ships...Read More

A doctor who worked in Bombay
Banned seventeen patients one day
They all had Delhi belly ...
Waiting room got so smelly
Receptionist turned them away!

If I had a star each time you brightened my days
I'd have a galaxy at hand like a universal buffet
Making me overexcite
To my taste bud's delight
The limit of the universe is bigger than Bombay

IF YOU PULL A LONG FACE : Part XII

IF you pull a mighty long face
Such as even Bollywood can't display
Put not the blame on the mixed human race
The fault most likely comes from animal DNA

Now if you go on pulling...Read More

All Day Tomorrow

( a cast of characters in song )

Homeless Jo and Jane:

We've got all day tomorrow,
to wait by the New Jersey shore,
to beg for a nickel
'cause we're in a pickle.
No end to us being so poor.

Tonight...Read More

Holly Day Cheer, Oy Vey

Lemme breathe smoke free air, okay
devoid of exhaust from swarm
(bajillion) enroute without delay
Santas Clauses gas guzzling 
hybridized motorized sleigh,
coordinating global deliveries, 

via GPS devices with weather proof inlay, 
nor without the need to be caught unaware
fall...Read More

They walk amongst us, but in silent ways,
spreading peace and love without any praise.
When thunder roars and lightning strikes in rain
they watch over us, healing bleeding pain.

Yet we do not see their celestial light,
nor do they shed feathers within our...Read More

Before you were real, you were a dream.
Before you were a dream, you were an actress, born in Bombay. 
Her’s is Ayesha; yours is Ali, and she told me you were coming, years before you came, and she placed you...Read More

The once was a man with a long bad tongue 
He wrote poor lyrics and never got sung, 
His lengthy words were a farce
They came out of his arse,
Smelling like stagnate garbage of bung.
 
She is a lady from Mersey...Read More

Cheers to my mother I’ll share a tale,
After a swig of lime-soaked gin,
To which I’ll use the drink to avail,
Words worthy of an eyesight’s spin:

There lives a queen with hair so red,
Whose crown was her very cerise hair,
Which pours from...Read More

A very quick quack
The purpose of a porpoise is to whirl backwards in a spotty boat but the purpose of a penguin is to glide on a jet ski. Informational weather beam probes probability but a pin in a tidal...Read More

Two Pair of Shoes

My Loafers wandered out one day
when I (too lazy) chose to stay
home alone and drink Bombay,
one evening in the Spring

They came upon a pair of Heels
that walked the streets in sexy squeals
composed of skin from river eels,
one...Read More

She’s not averse to forty winks
But afterwards she wakes and blinks
And to her privy corner slinks

As enigmatic as the Sphinx
She sits atop her tray and thinks
Up some mischievous new high jinks

The sound of Mum preparing drinks
Dad washing dishes in the...Read More

A Beautiful Sailing Ship


Great white sheets spread before Auster's wind seem to fly.
She sails ocean rout's course coming from East Indies.
My eyes take in ship's sight: be her goods Celanese?
High top-gallants with main-royals full blown in sky.
Gale speeds merchantman's race...Read More

  
    It was way after eight, at the Cat in the Hat.
    The whole plaice was swimming, quoth the mackrel to sprat.
    Though the milk was upset, she still...Read More

A Brief For The Defense 

Sorrow everywhere. Slaughter everywhere. If babies 
are not starving someplace, they are starving 
somewhere else. With flies in their nostrils. 
But we enjoy our lives because that's what God wants. 
Otherwise the mornings before summer...Read More

You're the reason I rise on a winters day .
You put that glint in my eye and a smile on my face.     
Your my Hollywood hero a star of matinee. 

You're  the girl of my...Read More

Sally met an old bloke from Bombay
They both fancied a roll in the hay
He whipped out his todger
All ready to Rodger
But his blue pills had run out that day!

Here we are fans this fine summer day,
to watch Trash Can Cats, versus Downtown Stray.
The field is grand in this deep wooded glen,
pitchers are warming up in the bull pen.

Pitching for the Cats is Crazy Legs Lynx,
