Names we gave
Name of hardship to life’s journey we gave, For means that help move on, money we gave. To loose change that’s today money the least, What else? As a worthless penny we gave. That which never if ever opened mouth, To dumb mirror, nickname dummy we gave. To love’s first journey of sweet memories, Yea, you guessed it right: moon’s honey...

That Date with Jennifer Lopez
Wait. To you, she's “La Lopez”. To me, “Jen”, always. Doyenne of “Anaconda”. A date, indeed! You’d have me narrate the gravamen, say how it was? She was a ten. Great, she seemed. Or perhaps an eight. But never again! Well, she doesn’t like real men. Cheapskate, too. I’ll tell you straight, it all went bandy when, as our train pulled out...

Your love to my rescue
My heart lies drowned in its own pool of blood— Let your care secure me from life’s flood, From my life, sweetness has just taken flight, Let your love come to my rescue tonight. My flower vase has long remained unfilled; All my heart’s desires stay unfulfilled. Let not your soothing care depart my life— Please save my soul—say yes, become my...

A Good Sense Of Humour Blunts The Sharp Blades Of Reality
How I hate it when they call me a clown, Yet I can't help but make people laugh. It comes unbidden, needing no invitation — As though a trove of jokes is placed in my mouth. Often I try to bridle my face and talk tough, But when a flume of gloom drowns spirits deep down, Then my sense of humour...

Him
This feeling is complacent, it just doesn't feel adjacent, too much or to little, reciprocation is unrealistic, your stupid but unforgettable, unattainable and unavailable, there's a bond hard to break, I want to escape, but isn't that a mistake?

The Missing Ouija Board An Unholy Whodunnit in Verse I summoned ghosts at midnight’s glare, At Cemetery Gate—with snacks to spare. We were just spelling “B-U-R-I-E-D” when—Zap!

There lives a gentleman from Luff Who walks everywhere in the buff His weeny is teeny He calls it his winky A stump that can't fill a cream puff.
