Long Marsupial Poems

Why, do we call it
Something it’s not
If we’re going to name things
Let’s give it, some thought

If it’s called a chilli
Then why is it so hot
And I can say this
A guinea pig, is not

A prairie dog
He...

in intriguing little crime scene
we have here eh Inspector Marsupial
a freeway overpass whore's 
cardboard box and mattress
and a paperclip necklace 
juxtaposed on a dissecting table
at some point a losing strategy
has to be examined
even if the...

Agape the power thereof,
The blessed form of our faith love,
Forms below, of faith above,
The power of our faith is dove,
Our body form is our love’s glove,
Our precept  brotherly love.
When agape's sloppy,
Gloves become poor copies!

Thank...

Faithful companion, Caradog, without necessity 
Habitat fed his needs, our bond rapidly developed 
Fierce competent hunter amazingly adopted me
Heritage unable to continue, thylacine near relic 
Decision to keep him secret was tumult traumatic
Exploited Tiger captured...

Except fer the guv'mint a-meddlin' in my life and a-pickin' at my purse!

INTO THE WILD

I dreamed ......

An arboreal wandering into the wild
Creeping in narrow-leaved green herbage
Afraid to be mashed by other wolverines got riled
Their safe abode is now in the siege

The rampage and stampede make a harsh...

Grotesque monsters immortalized in stone
Are perched on top of ancient architectural
Churches with a rumor attached about them 
Being marsupial, taking to flight, and having
To materialize back in their places before
Sunrise so they don't fossilize.
These horrible...

I was just a little one, in the grass, enjoying the sun, 
when a shadow covered me.
She had appeared suddenly, in one swell hop.
It was a tall warm-feeling shadow. I reached up my hands, 
and...

He’s such a cuddly little guy,
to lose him we’d regret.
And though he’s on the threatened list
he’s not endangered......Yet!

Unique to East Australia
but known the world o’er.
He lives high up in eucalypts
not on the forest floor.

His diet...

Into the midst of the hen flock 
Brock my brown leghorn flying cock
Mediterranean breading stock
Flew off the roost to dock

When  barnbyard dust settled you see
Hens begin cackling with glee
As soon as was able to...

An abecedarian Australian animal activist
Bagged bodacious big bucks
Caustically criticizing crocodiles,
Driving darling dragons
Essentially extinct. Eschewing
Fact, fabricating fanciful fiction,
Grifting gloriously,
He haughtily held hostage
Important, instructive information,
Juxtaposed jaundiced, junk
Kangaroo kills,
Leveling large lizard libel,
Manufacturing marsupial misinformation malevolently.
On other ominous occasions,
Preferring...

For the merited sake of Kangaroo
Let’s march towards any exhibiting zoo,
Advised to be humble the Napoleon-Tough, 
Who still could meet his Waterloo 
With a kick, hard and rough 
From the Mature Kangaroo.

For the clear heroism...

Man Walks into Police Station
Old bag’s head.
“Cheater,” he said.

Fruity Find From Costa Rica
Pineapple fruit fake.
Lucky cocaine break.

Roll Out The Barrels
Beer kegs crash
In highway bash.

Never Turn Back
See Newlyweds smile.
Sea’s roguish guile.

Unusual Sighting
Missouri couple surveyed
Marsupial youth escapade.

Seaside...

Like a newborn baby
In its mother's hands
For the very first time.
Like a marsupial animal
Carrying its joey in its pouch,
The warmth of abundant love,
That transfuses between mother and child.

Her hands are fertile soil,
Plant any seed in...

Im 60 now

and my sister says

I do the marsupial walk

a short stop in the middle of the path

I realise my energy levels are low

its like preparing for old age

The pitfalls of the cannot do 60
