Summer reading brings me a sense of peace
Adventures gathered bring me sweet release
In a book, crimson covered
A new world I discovered
Suddenly, my life is filled with caprice
There’s a guy with the funniest chair,
and an unfortunate lacking of hair.
He always plants his ass
in the back of the class,
and his name is Dave Crandall. So, there.
They say Dave was a major in math,
but his life took an alternate path.
He suffered boredom, severe,
in an IT career,
and, on retiring, felt need for a bath.
Being no longer youthful or limber,
he moved to Leisure World one September,
where, as an old fart,
he found writing and art.
At least, that’s what he can remember.
If he was lost on a deserted isle,
art and writing would not make him smile.
He’d need folk music for that
and a wide-brimmed straw hat
to shield his head in this lone domicile.
Our sex life has been a wonderful gift.
Once, I could "rise" to the task pretty swift.
The hurdle is gravity
to lovely depravity.
My "blank" and your "bumps" need a lift.
To the husband asked his mad doting wife
“Have you slept with other women in life”?
He said- “Only with you dear
With others, awake...! Why fear”?
Happy was she and thus ended their strife !
crimson squirrel, adventurous summer
bought a book said, 'your life could be calmer~'
so in peaceful delight
he read day into night,
didn't gather nuts (his autumn bummer).
HAUNTED HOUSE
Introduce you to Monty the mouse
Dwells in a haunted old house
many nights lies awake
thinks his life is at stake
These fears he's unable to douse
WARTY AND GNARLY
An old fellow who's warty and gnarly
Sings and sounds like Bob Marley
he's into reggae
a guitar he does play
Long ago he was baptised as Charlie
ROCK AND ROLLER
Betty's an old rock and roller
She walks with babe in a stroller
sometimes she will run
babes thinks it's much fun
Takes the dog with a lead on a collar
HOLD UP
Simon's a really fart smeller
But he once held up a bank teller
many years on the run
always armed with a gun
Ten years in a prison life's below stellar
Line Of Inquiry
“We look at spirit not at form
Our touch is gentle, kind and warm
We but reflect God’s love and light
‘Tis the path to which we conform.”
As Simple Simon lacked good sense
Knew not the value of his pence
In earning his prize
Did not realize
To earn something, work must commence.
In us God has placed our dear Soul
We must feed it well as our goal
It starves until Love
Faith, Hope, from above
Completes us as His sacred whole.
We're given a Soul to employ
The value of work to enjoy
The gifts of our life
Both lacking and rife
In God's eyes, a feat of true joy.
Cinderella
When Cinderella left a glass slipper,
Allowing prince to find and marry her;
Not only the size that fit,
Her foot was injured a bit,
And allowed him put ointment and plaster.
Snow White
When Snow White woke up from the prince’s kiss,
Her love-life turned into a perfect bliss;
The witch finally gave up,
Climbed to sleep at the rooftop
Then, she was awoken by the sweet snake’s hiss
Beauty And The Beast
So Belle tearfully confessed her true love,
when the last rose-petal fell just above;
Beast transformed into human,
“A handsome prince!” she was stunned,
Two servants rushed to her side to shove.
Securing kittens with her purring reign
she champions Mom's role midst feline terrain
our dear cat, Meowna prevails
nurturing, she never fails...
gives birth, feeds others, bringing home great gain.
Guarding our orphanage, dog pet does best
checking children's security with zest...
she shows canine fervency
in times of emergency
warning all while barking to the fullest.
Our cat and dog pursue well their ventures
protectors as their God-endowed features...
enjoying life with delight
defying fright from pests' blight
they manifest service-kindness' gestures.

Dream lover come out of the blue
I desire a visit from you
Say you love me true
As I so love you
All my dreams include you, they do.
You are the essence of my dreams
So true to life, is how it seems
You light up moonbeams
O’er rivers and streams
You’re the jewel in crowns of queens.
When I awake you are still there
In all I do, every prayer
I’m so glad you care
I love you, I swear
To you I lay my lonely heart bare.
When life from the stars comes a calling,
Be suave and genteel, not appalling.
One's first words should be:
'Would you like some tea?'
With diction correct, and no drawling.

MADAM IN EDEN, I'M ADAM for you
Do bite into the apple and make do
Please, WON'T LOVERS REVOLT NOW
Can gardens reap what they sow
Does the first man know what he was into
"Naomi, sex at noon taxes," I moan
I pleaded for her to leave me alone
"Poor Dan is in a droop?"
She said to me, "Recoup!"
That woman makes my life a battle zone
Life challenges once I got old
Such balances as do as you’re told
Really ironic to me
How much I pee
A goal not to miss toilet bowl
Andrew ordered a stripogram, Kay
To visit him on his birthday
When he opened the door
Sixteen copper’s he saw
They cuffed him, then took him away
After questioning for many hours
In the police car oh how he cowers
There’s one thing I’ll bet
He’s been covered in sweat
His birthday bash pizza night sours!
The Epstein files are in the press
Now Andrew’s life is such a mess
As his recent arrest
Surely made Andrew stressed
He’s guilty, but he won’t confess
I’m hoping royal succession can
Be removed from this vile man
I’m “Throne out,” he will moan
“The loo’s my only throne”
All royal titles flushed down the pan!
