The white know blacks who used a lantern:
Kazeem: Ray Hospital’s New Intern;
By female admirers surrounded,
I kept gazing at him astounded…
As he saw patients went down complaints,
Quick releases from Hell, no more faints!
Rather, a houseman like placebo;
Not all the time his arrows found bow:
Thus, Black Doctor white patients just want,
To the other Black Stethoscopes “Don’t!”
Might it be his lot to change this scene;
Strict white patients tell with smiles “You’re mean.”
About some Black Doc point to as Guide
And dare to claim that he did this hide?
Black Doctor loved by White Patient,
Not from High Intelligent Quotient…
Rea A Houseman's 'Twicea Week'
of verse about sport you seek
Footbl(soccer) &cricket too
alwyes good to fecite&view
remembered lines
of poetry from youth
just pretty poems
the adjectives and adverbs
hypnotizing my heart
the poetic spell
almost consuming my life
from houseman to frost
and back to shakespeare
and dying inside for truth
so simple and silent
devoid of actual words
so memorable
useless dreams of prized stuff
carried away by wind and stars
Soon I was looking
at real stars and mountain crests
without prettys rosy fins
looking really looking
without judgement try to be
Taste sanguine rhymes in simple flair,
Indulge blunt wit as rhythm springs;
Notes frame old times in common air,
Truth spreads fine bits as music flings.
Obtain sure flow as senses sway,
Feel fancy free the poignant lines.
Hurl then verse show in words that play,
Once again see moments divine;
Use brew of malt to fund delight,
Sip liquor gulps that greet frolic;
Entice old salt to sense new sights,
Move truth not grub in bold antics;
Appoint your way to happy cause,
Note sad dismay that stays the course.
