We used to have a wonderful crew at work.
Sixteen, men who thought alike.
Then someone upstairs decided to hire two female engineers.
They hired the wrong two.
These interlopers are not demure, dainty or feminine.
They are brazen vixens.
With their bobbed hair and their wanton ways.
They read the financial pages, as if they understand them.
More like men than women, they are manly women.
Independent thinkers.
Way too brassy.
Too bold, too confident, too vocal.
We make fun of them from the window.
Because we dare not do it in person.
Santa Claus hired a dragon, Donnie Draco
to bring shy elves out of their cocoons;
he trains them to deliver the presents,
as meeting humans for them, is not pleasant.
Humans are huge and tower over elves,
and they would prefer just to sit on shelves.
Donnie's courage lends them strength;
don't worry, he keeps them at arm's length.
Donnie takes them around to stores,
to meet children, by the scores.
Sometimes a push or urging one needs,
to help a shy elf to proceed.
The kids just love to see old Donnie;
Santa thinks a Christmas Dragon's funny.
Well, really, truly yes, it is;
it lends a dimension to this seasonal biz.
And when these little elves are broken in,
Donnie goes home to visit with his kin;
high in the mountains of the North Pole,
in a cave called, "The Old Dragon Hole".
So if at Christmas, in a store you see,
a dragon the size of a Christmas tree
and tiny, shy elves that he is training,
do try not to end up fainting.
For Donnie's kind is a peaceful lot,
really though, if you think not,
just look inside yourself and see,
that deep with us all, a dragon be.
Between us now a big dam:
When one weighs it: big gram!
I've just declined his fat ram;
Today, returned his fat yam
And it was a blow - A Bam!
No more his sweets in mouth cram
Arab against Uncle Sam:
On his high ways: Traffic Jam!...
Demanded parcels he'd got
To a friend buffet in court:
Tenant nuisance out to harm
Show The Law's Punitive Arm.
And they all went up in flames;
To me lips pushing the blames...
When I meet him, it's eyes right:
From tomorrow Eagle's Flight.
No doubt, I'd crossed mere Sawyer
While searching for a lawyer
She came in for an interview.
Her answers were spot on.
Her references were glowing.
Her manners were beyond compare.
So, you hired her? I guessed.
My cousin gave me a “Hmmmmmmphhhhh”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“I could not get past her nose ring.”
Cherry could hardly contain her excitement.
Her busy brick office staff was hiring another apple today!
Plain sweet chocolate drop asked her if she had heard.
A selfish thought came into head, but she ignored it.
What if this apple was as proud and stuck up as the last one?
That might throw a wrench into her coherent plans.
I hear this kind of apple is rather tasteless, chocolate drop said.
What would she know? She barely had a bubble of experience.
Cherry offered to undertake the teaching of Apple upon his arrival.
He had a great ambiance, and seemed willing to listen to her commands.
She felt they could carry on a casual affair in the future,
Include chocolate drop? Why would they?
Once a business man jumped
At the chances to rally reality crunch
Name calling and delivering a hunch
You’re now with us just a servant

One time I hired a monkey
He took notes for me in every class
I would just be sittin’ there
My mind a happy blank
Well my monkey, kept busy
Scribbling on little paper pieces
At the end of the fourth week
Teacher succinctly said,
“Now class, using all your notes
I want you to write a long report.”
So this is what I then penned
“Hello, my name Bingo!
I like to climb on tall things!
Can I have a gooey banana?
Eek Eek!” How’d I get an F!
I told mom about it,
The teacher liked him better!
Why’d the monkey make an A?
She said “My bad, I never told you!
Never trust a monkey!”

mind the figure
you adore
mind the ideology
you adopt
mind the believe
you portray in reality

on their heels of power
remember the closed door
behind the closed door
your faith is determine
prepared and chosen
to reality
don't forget you are
not there
don't be fooled
by the popular truth
remember you are not
part the circle
the circle that controls
what you never know
yet adopt
beware cos
so many idols are
not for truth
so many talent are
bought to promote evil
so many intellectuals
don't say no truth any more
they no longer read from

but read only from the master's
script
beware cos
so many are money hungry
and this dont excluded

Some people work hard but can also be lazy,
Thinking one person can be both, isn’t so crazy.
Being an early bird, may not be to his liking,
Even though his physique could be called striking;
Early risers generally, are the ones to get ahead,
Not those who choose to stay snuggled in bed.
Hard work, I’ve been told, has never killed a soul,
He’ll never accumulate much in terms of a bankroll.
To follow instructions seems to make him squirm,
Thinking he should be boss not someone’s worm?
But he’s more than willing and has a good heart,
His dilemma is getting here, at work time, to start.
My day started at seven and he’s not here at noon,
He’ll tell a pitiful story that will make me swoon.
He likely wonders why he can’t find steady work,
Perhaps it’s just because he’s an undisciplined jerk.

What If God I Had Hired
A Thought Transpired;
What If God I Had Hired?
Who would get fired?

Probably a football coach the way
things appear to be looking right now.
Hired Her Here
Then out of no where she was there
Came to share her beauty beyond compare
Out of our great land seemed so fair
Causing each one of us to sit and stare.
With beaming smile, she set boat sailing
At St. James her beauty they were unveiling.
Smiles smooth as silk yet mild and meek
Less left our speech when we tried to speak.
Never saw such a site like her ever before
Great beauty would not want to ignore
She sang as if entire body was on fire
Was exactly what you now did desire.
Lovely voice made ears stand up straight
Her grandiose style was sweet and great
Of all is greatest of all good looking dames
No wonder they hired her here at St. James.

Limerick: Once a Barrister hired a Spinster
Once a Barrister hired a Spinster
To work his pump short of a sphincter
She bought piston and nuts
Fixed up the leaking guts
Then Spinster married Barrister’s sister.

God, many times, I have often hired
To fill my life with things divinely inspired
And poetry which I will write each day
After talking to God and then would pray.
When you read my poems word for word;
Nothing will you find which is absurd;
Each of them always has been designed
So God in there somewhere you can find.
Poems are only going out to a select few
Who from out of God's hat I just drew;
Even though years ago I had to retire
My only desire now is you to inspire.
Hired Hand
and so we see,
That some are in the hands of God because they love him, his son, and his commandments.
While others point the finger of their false Gods
and teach a false Christ to their neighbors.
and Jesus exalts his holy father in heaven and says 'I am the way'.
while others teach, 'I am your holy father come to my church and pray'.
and they set up idols and false gods as stumbling blocks, to lead the flock astray.
I witness, it would be better for them to destroy all their images, statues, and artifacts,
than to have one proselyte kneel before them to pray.
and I'm afraid
that no place for them will be found
come judgment day.
And Moses was a mighty warrior who with words and power divided a nation.
How much more mightier the Lord Jesus Christ,
who divides churches, people, and nations.
and the blind cannot see for they cling to their twisted faith
how can those in the hands of false gods
ever find their way
for it is not in them to repent
for the sins that they commit
easier for them to deny and or justify
their deeds, their ways, and their sins
