Long Restock Poems

Hey bruh, 
haven’t you heard,
ain’t you read the news?
The White House is gonna eradicate 
the fear infested inner city blues
That Trump fella says,
he’s got his poison pen ready to use
He says black folks got nothing...

Lobster Fishing

It was still dark when I arrived at five o’clock
I commenced the day by going to the wrong dock
I was a little concerned that I may be late
When I arrived they were still loading...

Perhaps creating too many companies
would use to much of the world resources 
yet investing in farms would grow more crops

Perhaps creating more companies
would use up the world's resources 
yet perhaps, what we need most, is...

I went to a cheese and wine party on Saturday,
where huge platters of cheese were on display.
There was Gorgonzola and creamy white Brie,
I devoured huge chunks with a glass of Chablis.

Danish Blue, Mozzarella and Swiss...

Nineteen stiletto armed assassins
Lay in wait upon my roof,
While nineteen of Santa's reindeer,
Prance up there with stomping hoof....

A fearsome racket,
Nineteen decibles loud,
So busy is it up there,
It blew away each cloud

How do I get out?
I've...

God is very real
and the power in His name
will always reveal 

when the Lord God desired to restock
His newborn Christian flock
He sent His son Jesus to perform a miraculous act
to show mankind that He had...

And here you are
on the end of a smile
that doesn't seem to fit
your face, caught
in the startle of a flash,
still and ageless
after all these years.

I wonder what thoughts
were in your mind 
when the shutter clicked
to...

The Dishwasher’s Loaded

The dishwasher’s loaded,
The plates are all used,
The cups are all dirty and the plates all confused.

My clothes are all ragged,
My shoes scuffed and worn,
I’m in need of no revamp to replace all that’s...

Lazy Flossy Squirrel.

Shove up, shove up come on move on
it's very cramped and nothings done.
Summers over and the cold winds blow
I feel it's cold enough for snow.
So shove up move on, or help me please
restock...

If you care to look in your cupboards,
You might doubt being out of bed,
As all you will see is red.

If you rush to the bathroom cupboards,
For something to keep you out of bed,
You may start...

Café Musings


Same seat, corner, window, back to the outside.
Lost in a time warp of whimsy, voices, half thoughts,
overheard chatter.  She is tall, stately, impatient.
He is rumpled, unshaven, fumbling for his change.
He is invisible to...

SEA OF ROSES

It was a sad affair and heartbreaking
Two girls murdered, whilst at school
Yet of course, no knives was the rule
Young lives were there for the taking

The area’s now a carpet of red flowers
One child...

The words of the Zulu coconut,
a once coveted souvenir
from an indulgent visit
to festive Mardi Gras.
As our hero speaks
two mice nibble
unobserved
at his
coat. 

"Beads
were slung;
doubloons cast.
Grasping tourists
seized the trifling throws.
Floats advanced in the queue
krewes tossed their tokens...

Thank You God 
In this day I give praise
That  you sent your son.
To provide one a way
Into a being that seeks
Your face and love
Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice
Once for all to receive forgiveness
To become...

and we're all the spoons
wanting a taste to eat
smellin' life's scents
stirring things up
stewin' with our meat

to eat here today as
there was back before,
and there's just the
same peoples here too,

I can sing you a lullaby that could comatose an insomniac
Like the landing of a butterfly a rose would welcome this contact
My voice sprinkles her with relaxation the sandman could'nt match
Her eyes twinkle with admiration...

Tick-Tock.. no more like Click-Tut
The cheap plastic clock disapprovingly cuts
through minutes and hours, mornings and days
A relentless reminder of time running away.

Only heard when no one else is around
how much life has passed since I...

Wouldn't it be great to win a small prize,
So I can restock my stationery supplies.
I first write it down,then I type it up
I make lots of mistakes, then I rip it up.
Just when I think...

Today, my wife is having company
First, there are some tasks which she needs from me:
to sweep the drive and to trim back the tree, 
to check trash cans in the house are empty,
