Instead of going on parade: our foolish wedding charade
How everyone looked happy, little knowing how crappy
That day was for me, but no-one could see 
That when we...

Same time
Same place
Different color
Of the face

Same K-12 system
Same university
Different college
Who gained 
More knowledge?
Who excelled?
Who got more hell?

Same job
Same school
Same students
Same certification
Different degrees

Who stayed 
On their knees?
Both of us
Yes, indeed.
Who achieved
Honestly?
Well let’s see!

Same time
Same place
Different color

You can be having a grand day.
Living life the right way not bothering
Anybody and get attacked
By the despicable enemy.
He detests peace and,

He can also see God’s plans,
For one’s life.
And...

On the stands beside the paths they yell that you make a choice; 
At the gates of bazaars both do cry hoarse and loud, 
And wonder how orderly the...

Andrea,
a woman considerate and kind, mellow, down to earth, and fun-loving,
she loves to use her mind.
Thefore, scrubbing on her knees, this gal you’ll never find!

Gal pals...

Really flatters you and me too

Wishing you a joyous day
Memorable… Never to fray

Do enjoy every bit of it
Until you fall in love with it
One hundred years run it
Lug your pail and...

The sadness of getting lonely, weary and old
is none other than the anguishing thought,
we can't avoid feeling or mentioning at all cost;
daily unrest triggers the awful death word! 

Will all frighten when that time comes?...

None keeps its inventory
But it creeps into a story
A story of a modern society
Which is plural in nature;
Partly of a rural nurture
Partly of an urban stature
Yet must remain together
Lest it falls a part 
For unity...

For breakfast she starts out modestly:
a cup of tea, no milk, but sugar plenty.
By nine o’clock her stomach’s growling,
and Edna’s in the kitchen prowling.
There must be something she can chew,
a bagel or a donut, and...

On his old 8N Ford 
He says that television’s no good 
And newspapers just get him bored 
His beard is not the neatest 
But frankly he could...

Or great poem?

Dancing and wielding a matchet

He sang songs of sorrow;

And wrote rhymes for his victims of tomorrow.

The Groom of the Stool

(Two meditations on an ancient post: see below)

I.
The Groom of the Stool needs some time
To commit his experience to rhyme.
This commodious peer
Detests diarrhoea
But thinks constipation sublime

II.
See where the philosophic King
Sits Rodinesque...

Lower your voices- he's skiddish
