Good King Wenceslas Again
Good King Wenceslas again
On the feast of Stephen
Saw the snow spread white and plain
Deep and crisp and even.
Afar a snowy hump in sight
Attracted his attention
Could it be that something might
Need royal intervention?

Patient X
Harsh sunlight simmers my arm to redness,
Poplar leaves rustle and pixilate,
Seen through his view point it’s a lit screen,
Sending him signals and refracting back
His own thoughts, emotions and subtle commands.
He tracks his fingers through...

My Christmas Roast
There was Turkey and sausage meat, gammon ham too,
Four pigs in blankets for me, you and you
I did Yorkshire puddings and parsnips well glazed
Sprouts, roast potatoes: I’m thus far unfazed…
But then there was broccoli, cauli...

Potage Passion
Just a bit of black pepper
As your breath brushes against my neck,
Dangerously close.
Don’t forget the heavy cream
You whisper gently in my ear.
My knees slightly shaking as I stir
You passionately intertwine the broth
As I...

To think the spirit of Elvis exists...

Don'T Blame the Pilgrims
The crowd shuffles
hands raised in vain attempt
to catch a windblown lottery ticket

If not….you’ll pay more
for the turkey...

Parsnips say I, oh please try them, do,
For Parsnips are so good for you!
But no, you just won’t try them, will you.

You’d rather waste your time with lettuce.

There at the farmer's market,
And buy out every radish stall!
If there’s kohlrabi, I’ll buy a few

no cabbage, broccoli or sauer-

and where peas truly are the only greens.
