Geriatrics Poems


Premium MemberCarny Day

Its wet and drear in London dear, the pomp in on full trope
Though hope is gone, not dead for Jesus is the only hope!
Its foolish to trust in others; dopes.' In robes and words
In fear and force, its hackneyed ethos, solid dross of course
One hundred mill, so bums can sit.' and ears listen to
Waffle and some titter, and scraps and traps such slippery
Tounges we'll no doubt hear, yet will we sum? A throne of
Gold in a nation sold, to the w e f, just same old same old.'
The crowds are thin, not much the din' dis-enchantment is
Setting in.' geriatrics in phylactics gather and throng how
Can such traversitys continue on? Food in piles is stored
Away, as childen are hungered, its the British way.' Some
Vassels also,  it seems agree although; their people need
To be set free.! Free to thrive to grow and prosper, yet to no
Reason i now return, to the parody of vanitys and a useless
Crown ' thats just the head though, i'll make this clear on
A British day of pomp and drear, might he take a little trip?
Before the throne..As ascends he it.' Twould be indicative of
The wider nation, that needs a real King not this Abberation.'

Cocky's Happy Ending

So what did happen to old Cocky,
Swearing away, profanity?
We gave him a new abode,
A cage in a nursing home,
Old Cocky struck it lucky,
Full of parrots, like he,
Cocky believed in sharing,
Oldies heard unique caring,
Cocky and Co. would greet each day,
In his inimitable way,
"You fat f....ing c...s, get out of bed!"
Not sure this is what geriatrics meant,
Cocky and Co. abuse the residents,
Yes, Cocky was communicating,
Soon every Cocky was proliferating,
Cocky's happy ending! Let's pray,
He is still alive and swearing today!

Twilight Zone

The Twilight Zone 
In the nearest town and close to all amenities 
such as hospitals and funeral parlours my wife 
and went to look at an elderly people’s hotel 
where people of a certain age get a small flat to
live in, yet it has a café for the social evening with 
where young ladies who have gone to university
and studied geriatrics, sing and give the recital of 
something suitable not to offend and often 
a priest comes around and talks about Jesus.
 
Sunny Lodge the place was called, and we thanked 
the manager we should think about it and was given 
brochures to read. Driving home my wife cried, she
has a daughter who is no quite there I have no offspring
we decided to live in our cottage as long as possible 
egoistically, I hoped to die before her it would save me
the funeral and sorting out and throwing away my private 
collections of bleakly second-grade poetry, blowing in 
the dusty wind of forgotten time.

The World of Geriatrics

Grumpy
Elderly people
Ridiculously fussing over nothing
Inventing crazy stories
Attempting to get over bed rails
Trails of body waste on the floor
Repeating questions over and over
Insisting on being toileted when they can't walk
Commanding to have their backs scratched.
                   BUT-
Sweet souls that need to be taken care of.

Retirement

Geriatrics plays 
this Puzzle now. 

I dance, but stumble
into a waxed window
without anything but
nakedness. 

Coarse is your
tongue
and dry are my 
interests in you. 

Once an icon, 
I'm prepared
to pounce
onto a different
Ending. 

If luck brings
an arrival of 
sorts.

The Seed

Seed before dawn
Youth and adolescence by day
Adulthood and geriatrics by evening
Seed before dawn again!
