ELEVATED GRADUATED- A DEDICATED VERSE TO ALFUNTIZE CUNNINGHAM-
Elevated GRADUATED-
A dedicated verse to Alfuntize Cunningham
Son, Brother, Entered forth into His Kingship
The vail is torn
The Crown I wear, I’ve worn
I’ve graduated yet rising
Birth in the heavenly, set apart before my mother’s womb;
A heavenly seed planted a royal priest bursting into the room;
I stand beholding, anointed, a mother’s son wearing her skin;
Kingdom thorn awaiting, birth

Cunningham Vs Reaper
Tom Cunningham takes on the Grim Reaper
In couplets, divinely humorous and keepers!
Of these, please do not hesitate to read.
Of my fateful words, you’d better heed.
Lest you sit there with a dark frown,
Looking so much like a tragic clown.
Let’s raise a glass, then to Sir Cunningham!
The best, in creative, poetic journalism!

In Honor of Tom Cunningham
I heard the notification bell. Ding Dong.
Nobody mails me, this time of night,
Only Tom Cunningham.!
With his joy in a a POTD, for a fellow poet,
be it man or a woman.
His unselfishness is astounding!
To sing of another-poet’s success is abounding.
God gave me a POTD today as an Easter gift!
And Tom screen shot it to me.
He

At War With Tom Cunningham
Sir Tom Cunningham
Has started a war
It will be a fight
Like never before….
For all Vegemite lovers
It is time to revolt
Even comparing Marmite to Vegemite
Is the ultimate insult!
So gloves off Sir Cunningham
Or are you now an Earl
You’ve now started a war
With the wrong Aussie girl!!

A Man For All Seasons, Tom Cunningham
Is exactly who you are!
There for us all, you are a humble,
shining star.
When feeling down, you stand there
for me?
A humble poet, dedicated first, to
God’s divinity.
Then always, at work, you, serving humanity.
You are some special human, who never complains!
Not even in the midst of emotional rains.
You are the Angel of Poetry Soup!
The Lord placed me,

Why Kill - Inspired By Jallianwala Bagh Poem By Tom Cunningham
I don't understand why people kill
That too without feeling bad about it
Why are wars needed?
How does it matter if area of a country is small?
Why expand?
What purpose does it serve?
Common man merely wants to earn and eat
He seeks his happiness.
When an army person shoots many dead
Doesn't he feel for their families
Only breadwinner dead, child

Position Impossible Ii - Collaboration With Tom Cunningham - Bawdy Warning
Aunt Ethel said to Uncle Fred,
Let’s attempt the starfish in bed,
Old Ethel insisted,
Till Fred’s back got twisted,
They best stick to sleeping instead!
Original poem by Jan Allison
Fred couldn't stand and was writhing in pain
Ethel was mad and looked on with disdain
So he took a blue pill
Then went in for the kill
And now performs like a stallion
