I sit alone, invisible, on this chair
In a climate conditioned 22.
Surrounded by pin-boards, computers and boxes
At a grey corner desk in a zoo.
Detachable shelves hang, offering a space
To put all our things of import.
People whisper and gossip and mutter and moan
Complaining about public transport.
Glass walls are spotless, cleaned beyond clean,
I sit quiet and silent and wonder
Who fills these filing cabinets with heaps of piles
Of forms too many to number.
The clock, the exit sign, first aid, water bottle
There’s so much fun stuff to look at.
Nah, not really, it’s dull as all heck,
My earphones block out the chit chat.
This music blocks thoughts, blocks phone conversations,
Blocks noises of office and drawers.
Allows me to focus on the book I am writing
On how to teach maths to the scores.
Teaching gifted, and strugglers, hotshots and lazy.
How to engage every single school student.
To inspire their minds, how to make them solve problems
So their life can experience improvement.
I sit alone at this desk, this desk of deep thought,
In an office of busy and clean,
Not to be entertained or amused or treated
But to strengthen the mind of the teen.
Well, here we are stuck at home 'cos everything's closed
So, we could do what we usually do and self-isolate
I mean, each of us could retreat into his room, shut the door,
and do what we normally do in there on the internet or whatever
Or, we could say to each other, "Hey, this is a real opportunity, guys!
Like, here we are together in the middle of the day for a change!!
Why not take advantage of this moment in time -- Who knows how
long it will actually last -- and do some fun stuff together as a family?!"
Like what?
Like what?
Like what?
Like what?
(My heart sinks a little as the question echoes through the house, but...)
Well, why don't we have a hootenanny and sing our favorite songs?
(Dead silence). Uh-huh, I see. Or, we could play charades, you know
(Eyes roll). OK. Don't all jump at once. How about a board game?...
You guys!! If you're not up for fun, let's at least have dinner together --
You say that you're vegan now...And that you've just now stuffed yourself...
Uh-huh... So, as I was saying, I just can't wait till this scare is over, and
we can all go back to our normal routines!
Note chaos that swirls in empty shades;
Observe and see the rowdy waves;
Infux of twirls of muddles made;
Sense faint beauty that comes dares to brave;
Empty this whirl that shouts to trade.
Charm feels a sway as passion flings;
Hope primes the path to help you grow;
Offer to play with rhymes you spring;
Invoke fun stuff that steal the show;
Cheer funds wise stray with joy that sings;
Explore enough the course of flow.
Vouch for the lines of thought and feel;
Opt to just say what heart knows well;
Ink now refines words that reveal;
Calmness portrays the cast that dwells;
Express clear signs to forge appeal.
Cheer speaks softly of pleasant ploys;
Aim to be still in mystic core;
Look now gently as peace employs;
Mind, heart and will can surge grand store.
Be a great soul with a true heart;
Abide in grace that raptures bliss;
Love frames the whole in end and start;
Meet face to face in "All That Is."
Pray not to prey upon false need;
Sense a deep greed that covets things;
Align your play with touch that seeds;
Look beyond need to hurl fond flings;
Meet divine days with ample feed.
Love is the way to meet each cause;
Incite your heart to know the way;
Value each stay in your life's course;
Extend each start in touch and sway.
Live your fond quest in mundane strands;
Offer to be your best version;
Vouch beyond tests to mark your stand;
Embrace and see your sure vision.
Love what you do and laugh with cheer;
Align your space with timely zest;
Urge wit in you to spark things clear;
Give jest sure place as pun frees quest;
Humour hurls due finesse that steers.

(Inspired by all the Adams, but with special mention to Frank,
Dr. Ram, and Christopher)
For being a lazy head, see what you reap. . .
I came from your ribcage while you were asleep!
I’m second but best, and I’m looking fly,
so get with the program. Wise up, silly guy!
Don’t get all riled now that I’m not your type.
Have you seen a mirror? Talk about hype!
Go look in the stream then and see what I mean.
I’m needing a king because I am the queen!
You can’t lay down laws, for Eve is my name.
And as the First Lady, rule-breaking’s my game!
And neither to me does size matter a bit.
I’m after a man who has style and great wit!
Around here you won’t find a 7-11.
What did you think? That we’d gone to heaven?
Inside this here garden, with plenty to eat,
I’ll cook, but you catch it. . . And bring me a treat!
If being away from my voice is your wish,
then go to that stream there and catch me a fish.
I’ve already trained all the parrots to talk
to entertain me while you’re out on a walk!
Go be by yourself whenever you please.
I’m woman, and I’ve put the creatures at ease.
The mammals already have found me so grand,
I’ve got them all eating right out of my hand.
Because of my wisdom and my patient ways
I think we’ll be living here millions of days.
So don’t bother me and I won’t bother you.
And maybe we’ll even find “fun stuff” to do!
A doctor named Ram in a garden nearby
is looking for someone who digs a smart guy.
He says that he needs the “intellect’s touch”
I might just go there if you hassle me much!
And off somewhere else I heard of another
named Adam too. Could he be your brother?
I might like to check him out, though his Eve
has told me he fancies himself with a Steve!
And don’t think I’ll leave for your telling me to.
There’s only so much you can get me to do.
That snake tried to give me an apple. The fool.
I rarely eat fruit, but a roast sure sounds cool!
So gird up your loins and catch us a lion.
Then I’ll don my leaf apron and begin fryin’.
And just you remember, in sex’s sweet war,
The one with nice “melons” is surest to score!
For Deborah Guzzi's Eve in Eden Contest
& for P.D.Slam contest (thanks Deb and P.D!)
Now listen up all ye poets out there
Here's an adage I try to live by
It seems to work for this old duffer
So why don't you give it a try
Upon waking up every morning
Before you jump out of bed
Count all your blessings one by one
Keep them stored in your head
As each day presents its challenges
Remember your many blessings
Be thankful for all the little things
Enjoy life and it's dressings
Now it may not be totally foolproof
But at least you're on the right track
Trust me you'll be ahead of the game
And happiness you surely won't lack
So listen up all ye poets out there
Let me know how it works out
Hope it's a positively roaring success
From the rooftops go on and shout!
Gazook, hallelujah and fun stuff upbeat
Before jumping out of your bed
Count your blessings stored in your noggin
There's not a single thing to dread
An army of mites resides in our lashes
With mouths and tiny claws
Along the way during human evolution
This surely must have been a flaw
Astronauts strangely can't burp in space
What kind of dribble is that
A feline can have over a hundred kittens
Now that's one pooped out cat
Some atheists put up Christmas trees
An identity crisis for sure
A cow can poop up to four tons a year
That's sure a batch of manure
A woman once had sixty-nine children
Talk about barefoot and pregnant
With a dirty big bunch of kiddies like that
She could hold her own beauty pageant
Nose prints are used to identify dogs
Imagine if they were used for humans
Especially during the influenza season
There'd be snot all over the policemen
The tallest people in the world are the Dutch
Must have to duck under the windmills
While kissing most tilt their head to the right
But there's some who rub noses still
The salary of Toto in “The Wizard Of Oz”
Was a hundred twenty dollars a week
That's a hundred and twenty more than me
Since retiring my new job is sleep
“What’s the funniest movie you’ve seen?”
Or: “What fun stuff do you get up to?”
Maybe: “How do you get rid of stress?”
Or: “What’s a scary thing you do?”
These are some random conversation starters,
Folks use when they’re out down the street.
Spoken to kick start a conversation,
With people they want to meet.
There’s also book starters, like:
“What’s the last book that you read?”
And then food starters, like:
“What’s your weirdest thing eaten on bread?”
But, importantly, remember the starters to avoid,
Like: “What things do you do with leather?”
Or the biggest killer of all conversations with:
“Let’s have a deep talk about weather.”
