My dear, my dear,
How goes it in America,
in America,
my dear?
How goes it in America?
Fine fine fine, says she.
Except
of course
of course
not so finefinefine
If
You are a woman
or an immigrant
or uneducated
or lacking skills
or poor
or black
or brown...
That's how she goes
in America,
dear Liberty Lady.
Your beacon light
shines not on all.
Hello
Bonjour, Hola, Hello,
These are the greetings I know.
Good Morning, Evening, Goodnight,
There are the greetings I like.
I enjoy the funny and the fair,
like Howdy, Hey, How goes it there?
The ones that make me smile a bit
Whats new, Whats up, Yo, Howzit!
So many ways to greet a fellow,
My favorite of course is still hello!

our foibles
do you have any...
go on comment
the spoken word
feel free speak... say what you want...
shush... enough's enough
silent words poems
when I write I shout it out...
to the world
blinkered... it can't see
ponders when it is stood still
a horse... what thought you...
a sleight of the hand
i'll catch that pickpocket
sadly my neighbour
the magician's gay
no... don't call him a puff...
too late... he's gone
hi Mary... Mary
how goes it... how does it grow...
what...yes... your garden
Mary had a lamp
she swiched it... it did not work
I know... family site
you want a good laugh
a book of Trumps one-liners
he's in the wrong job
my senryu... foibles
human's... it's what they're about
are yours...
