Mr Potato

Mr. Potato
a.k.a., Spud Murphy

'I'll have another cigarette,'
as John Lennon (1940 – 1980) writ,
'And curse Sir Walter Raleigh (1552 – 1618)
he was such a stupid git.'
However,
(altho' to his cost)
it may have
gone to his head
(which, unluckily, later he lost),
Raleigh introduced
the noble potato
(the blight of Ireland)
into Britain — ca. 1586,
and what's more
tobacco it did eclipse,
so yes indeed, his

Launched Satellite

He doesn’t launch Satellite
Who had not seen the light,
Fears nursed about not-warned fight,
Shows of military might…

Yet, scouts for news from regions,
Launchers won’t mind from Legions;
Granted Data Collector
But it does count: Director:
To nations innards Surgeon
Wherever men live or sojourn…

Perhaps, in principle right,
Still in reality not white:
One is proven the nosy,
In life things are not rosy
Or else

Lost Love Launched Into Space

Such a immense pain I feel
 when i realize that I am not the sun
 that illuminates your life ...
   Distress even greater when perceive
 that your moon has settled
    on the darker side
 that I don't notice ..
 And that we were the same as
    disconnected

Launched In Lavender

Launched In Lavender

A bunch of bluish 
clouds cried at the margins of 
a reddish sunset,
and bathes beds of white flowers
into lavender lilacs.

Launched

I can't seem to place 

1 foot forward 

Left or right 

In the correct order 

Its. like my brain is transmitting directions in Russian 

And I can't understand 

Failure to land or launch 

Up the carpet stairs 

Into Dreamland 

In yesterday's Clothes

A Face That Launched a Thousand Ships

A salad a day keeps the doctor away
At least that's what I've always heard
Well so far that's proven to be the case
Doc visits have rarely occurred

Unless my bean-o's the thing at question
That's really quite a different matter
Memory's not firing on every cylinder
Thoughts are jumbled and scattered

Give them my name if I ask for help
What happens

Launched

There was a chap hated for his twaddle.
It got so thick one could in it waddle.
Folks shut their ears
Shed no tears
And sent him into space full throttle.
