Long Luncheons Poems

Once upon a time,
in a Kansas City Public School,
There was a teacher named Builda.
We are all given the same rules.
Every year, the principal says,
"The first two weeks of school are
not for teaching any academics.

Don’t let this war criminal come back
Putin is lootin’ the streets of Ukraine
His crimes against humanity are bordering on insane

Like the early morning mists 
That rise from the waters’ depths
Memories emerge in swirls and twists

Eastern Alleppo, weighed down like a ghetto
Destroyed like Navaho 
By the unfathomably destructive deeds
of a single generation

Forcing unnecessary segregations of nation upon...

Our estate is very posh,
Executives, and oh by gosh
Our Sunday evening cocktails are the thing.

We're all driving 4X4's,
And...

You must be dauntless.
When invited to tea you must comment on
Her appearance and dress
With open candidness.

How glad and honored you are to be in the
Presence of the princess...

Marla was a friend of mine
I knew from working at UTMB
Over 10 years we worked together
In the department of pathology

Though we actually worked
In two different locations there
We still became pretty good friends
Leaving me memories of...

The house amid the spruces and pines,
Had stood for several decades.

Many a story was told and written,
Experiences both pleasurable and difficult.

There were weather worn benches,
Where the seniors would sit and weave their stories.

Easter is a time where we construe
The beauty of renewal blooming through
Little birds that chirp above the vales
While sweeter ladies peep at passing males

Charming is the humour passing round
Faint scent of Tulips, Daffodils abound
Strolling couples...
