Blind Date

New clothes and makeup, my heart delighted
Awaiting my fate with a date who is farsighted

Laughable Time

Eternity laughs at "time."
Our big clumsy clocks
hanging off the walls
dictating the pace of
our insignificant planet...
with selfish inhabitants
accumulating more things
buying more clocks.
Strutting the barnyard
sniffing for mates
to lay nuclear eggs.

Eternity laughs at 
the bones of brevity 
of which we'll become.

Not Laughable

A king had all the food at his table
somewhere in modern Africa
power to feed kingdom he had
red hunger came flying in as vampire
subjects wept calling for rescue
children were little flesh-less cartoons
but the king laughed and told them
“Go, eat mangoes in  bushes if hungry”
An  obedient pregnant mother of five
climbed mango tree to pick food
Lo!

The Laughable Friend

The laughable friend

The farmer has a friend, laughable he is
The fat ram in his kraal, loyal and cool
Whenever the farmer wants soup
He sharpens knife and calls him

“Come, I want part of your fatty tail,
For a delicious soup tonight”
He comes, lays down his ribs,
And the farmer takes a portion

Laughing and smiling they go, next day
The farmer

Laughable

I can't take it no more 
It feels like I'm losing composure
That's why I'm never sober 
Been like this 
Since you said its over
Been reminiscing the times we had
Still miss the times, even the bad
Girl, you should be mine
Baby, just give me sign
Cause I'm sick of crying
And feel like Im dying inside
When I had you

Laughable

no i don't make sense
i'm most always tense
and my heart has dents
but why should that stop us?

my theories are juvenile
my thoughts are in a pile
and my worries go on for a while
but you won't notice.

i don't have much
i can screw up everything i touch
and my morals sometimes wind up in a bunch
but i won't stop

Laughable Experience

"Listen my children and you shall hear"
Of a laughable experience happened this year
Dressed and ready everything near
Load arms, walk out door without fear

Put all parcels in back seat of car
Glance around see left front door ajar
Slam car door try to move but skirt caught
Keys locked in car_there's front door afar

Thinking swiftly what will really work
Keys
