Long Honeymooners Poems

I’ve always been a prankster and a lover of a joke.

Two young newlyweds Samantha and Ray
On honeymoon went camping to the Bay
But as they were rocking
Strong winds came a knocking
And left them nude as their tent blew away

Both were red faced and on the ground...

Momma's in the kitchen frying chicken
Daddy's got the game on the old TV
Two brother's playing and fighting in the parlor
It's just the way things used to be

Momma stayed home and raised us kids

New York, New York, the road in the fork  
   of the events, the places and folks who've buttered the pork

The memories came flooding back
Of an August day thirty years...

“Honeymooners” reruns play on down the years;

the moon illuminates the hallowed place.
she flickers with the candlelight,
bare feet on rose...

MOMBASA

Full moon uneasiness
Veranda dining, seven course style,
One day after my thirty sixth birthday,
I dine alone, in a poem.
Waiting for the Moon to pass to wane

Imagine creamy white sands and crystal clear sea
Warm sun bathes your back as you wander free
Your hammock is swaying to the great Reggae beat

Amidst gardens of greenery, our life breathes blue
Up the roof of our floating home, the ceiling is blue
Thus on a cloudless sunny day the colour of sky-blue

Generally, no kiss does attract opposite
But, necessary of course
For a definite purpose
Like in intercourse 
Kiss is important incidence.

how loud and funny, in my little boy's eyes

Gondolas thrift contently upon a gentian violet
Thrown from dusky sunsets on a marauding wake  
Adopting Venetians transpose as the partake;   
Sip mulberry wine to toast the ultraviolet.

and all their boasts,
