Although my poems are not so numerous
I try to make them a little humerous
I'm certainly not a bard
but I do try very hard
to mix in a bit of the ridiculous
HILLAIRE BELLOC
With nonsense verse oh so light
ever humerous* & never trite
“Baggage”
Baggage collected
scooped up in the arms
of strange angels
the unexpected
expected
some time
will deliver
the poetic
message
reasons
in humerous
rhyme
saints arrive
barefoot
no glass slippers
Love
Joy
Be
without
baggage
all in good time

Love, Mum Xx
love is not Archie Bunker ~let his hatred stay in Hitler's bunker
when circumstances appear cruel in life you need not be cruel with them
a dodged serve, the ball is now long gone~a pond rife with many lost balls
a lie will soar throughout the land before truth wakes and gets out of bed
controlling ones diverticuli ~should control shouting from poop shoot
attention seekers turn your gaze outward to life’s welcoming bounty
no physical traits shared with your harem~save face so not to scare ’em
a friend can't be betrayed if they were never a friend~non-existance
liars can't believe in their own existence~how can they believe mine?
given every clue~if you don’t know me by now it's yours to undue
pure love’s nature cannot take pleasure in other’s sorrows pain and sin
poets with grand gushing font~sage with a pen or idiot savant?
There once was a cautious weird man named Berm
He was mortally so afraid of germ
No girl did he ever kiss
Saying I won’t get sick miss
Pressed her lips with fingers, thought there’s no harm.

Swiss Jean Tinguely
art humerous did make free
Change the only constant in life,he said
an unpredictable art genre he led
Swiss Jean Tinguely
art humerous did make free
Change the only constant in life,he said
an unpredictable art genre he led
English but Paris born Hillaire Belloc
who amusingly did mock
With nonsense verse oh so light
ever humerous & never trite
A refined gent who serves lunch in Decatur
Is the posh bistro’s most genteel waiter
He serves fine escargot
and tres-bon merlot
Then mosies home to his deep-fried potater

Ingenious,humerous and proud
Born to write words to be read aloud;
'I saw eternity the other night..
like a great ring of pure & endless light'
Line ever remembered upon first sight.
Tribute to this Welsh master poet from days gone by Henry Vaughan
A pictures worth a thousand words. Is that why you wont verbalize your sins?
You cant hide it anymore, your as sinister as it gets.
Your a twisted evil entity, not a thing has changed.
Look at how you retained me, with your ragged edged chains.
You would think Im your victim, as you toy with my sane life.
Injected with your venom, I still smile every night.
But on the brink of losing it, you bare a wicked smile.
Its humerous to you, how I could last all this while.
Little do you know, I cant take much more of this.
Im your victim, your pawn, freedom is all that I miss.
I dont know how Ive lasted this long, but you'll never know this.
Im a victim of your pain, your a victim of my lies.
And I will always remain, a victim in disguise
Ingenious,humerous and proud
Born to write words to be read aloud;
'I saw eternity the other night..
like a great ring of pure & endless light'
Line ever remembered upon first sight.
Tribute to this Welsh master poet
My favorite bird is a Heron.
Soaring above the sky.
It flies like a kite,
Its neck like a serpant in motion.
The heron is a puppet on stilts.
Humerous Heron.
