HOUSEWORKThere's more to keeping house,
Than washing dishes, sweeping floors.

From window sills and doors.
Picking up and straightening,
For certain s a must,
But if you want it to be clean,
It's wash and scrub...

Salt Review
Households have used salt for many a year,
On dinner tables there has been a space
For salt and pepper, the purpose is clear,
Reached for upon the completion of Grace.
On dinner tables there has been a space

In Minster Lovell HallDid knocks and scrapes of knives and tools
In blistered fingers of blundering fools
Awaken something in the hidden room
That until then, had slept entombed
In Minster Lovell Hall?
For when the dust had moved away

When finally there is no reprieve:
Low ceilings, unshaded lights,
Helicopters above at night,
Books, books and more books,
Scattered everywhere one looks,
A kitchen with a tiled floor
I won't be mopping any more,
A...

Wear A Green Hat
The world crisis caused by Covid Nineteen

For the global environmental scene.
While we do need to know all we can learn

House on the hill
Unchaperoned in a haunted, cemetery

eerie bleak trees, shield...

Written from the house of the dead,
With those somewhat darkened views:
"Reincarnation" was the theme,
Well-researched, or so it would seem,

Headlong Flight
I am fleeing from the house of the dead,
That miserable place so full of ghosts,
Such silent, uncommunicative hosts,
Their cold indifference I had learned to dread.
I was kidnapped days ago from my bed,
For no bolts and...

Dead First
I'm the lead singer from "The House Of The Dead,"
My name's "Martha," but I call myself "Skeleteal,"
And I wear a skull cap that covers my head,
