Frank would seem an odd man
Rose was just Rose

Things I need to stop for:
deodorant, candy bars,
some magazines,
to while away the hours..

Have to catch the train in time,
as it's a long trip north.
With no one to keep me company,
my tongue's going to rot.

On my...

The Weird Guy


Aprils wet day has rained
Since sunrise
Mid-day
In a friendly café
The patter of skies falling water
Lost in the strangers chit chat

Un-listened to music
Bleats
But peaceful and calm
And glad we all are
Warm as we are
To sit and...

He's this, he's that,this is what he should be like
He shouldn't have that many tattoos, he shouldn't dress like that
He's clearly a wannabe gangsta because he listens to Hip-Hop and Rap
I'm just me, and I...

Puppeteer was what some say of this style.
Yet, what's wrong if it's my style for a while?

Crocs for cracks; some say with sure mockery,
Can mockery knock modern hosiery?

Some wear fur-lined like squirrels protruding,
When gardening, other...

Stark realization, I harbor sacrilegious objection...

Against merry christmas premature blowout,
(or otherwise) ejaculation galore burnout,
hence I feel like the odd man out
neither yours truly, nor the missus
spends money and/or
time at checkout

Funny Numbers
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire

2 Whom it may
Concern
Numb I have suffered
And by God done I am
Lord.. 
So many characters 
Too many teachers
Yell and try to tell
How to sauce 
The spice of life
By virtue
Two are true
So boo woo
And I...

Fragile bones, aching arms, broken dreams
Speaking flaws, am I to die in shame?
Will you not speak of me good deeds, nor my dry days
Stone me says thee? Hold yourself not, for as your eyes are...

In the childhood home her mother spins her child
Round and round we go happiness seems to overflow
And the childhood  goes by; faster, faster

A growing child with so much energy running and having fun
Careless and...

This morning as I woke up,

smiling at a new day,

thinking I’m a day older,

I looked forward to another birthday,

but my mind quailed at the aftertaste

before I shared my joy

with friends and kindred:

another day had been...

stay off the ground 
and live in lost beautiful sound 

up in the clouds above 
waiting and watching hummingbirds and doves

fairy tales roaming through my mind 
stories like no other kind 

can't see the forest...

There's this nasty lady living right 
by ours
A cranky old mare holed up next to our house 
Her garden is minging and her blinds 
are a lot worse
She acts dead weird, I reckon she's proper...

There was an odd man who lived in the dark,
who was too stubborn to open his eyes. 
The world that surrounds him, he had no part,
and only to himself did he confide. 

But as time...

But I hope they don't get stuck thinking I'll never change,

a man walked by the other day
with a beard down to his knees
but little did the people know
the beard was made of bees

the bees they never stung him
at least thats what they say

Splendor in spin cycle...
No one escapes the circle;
For an odd man out... 
Rarely finds a way back in;
Life seems as though a blur,
When the circle’s in spin...

Render to the line...
That few have crossed;
A step ahead,
Leaves...

Odd man out
 He cuts a lonely figure
Only he isn’t.
Avoided learning the language where he lives
To avoid tittle-tattle.
He is a failed poet too.
Rancorous and silent
But does smile and say thank you a thousand times
As is...
