The Lay of the Best Man - Part 3
Ask your friend, neighbour or even a stranger newly-met

Yet these damned hypocrites are themselves...

Apollo and Dionysus: A Debate
Fair Dionysus, friend to all that’s small,
Rememberest thou 'divinity' at all?
Amidst thy congress here with drunks and whores,
Does any finer thing escape their roars?
The greater beauty lies in greater thought:
So, bless the seeker, not the...

The Ballad of a Shattered, Laminated, Home
I remember living in one room dingy and dire
with old lino on its rotting wooden floor.
I remember crystallised spit dangling from guard at the fire;
as mother cleaned, he'd only honk the more....

Privilege and Iniquity
I drink privilege, I breath iniquity.
Everything around me wreaks of docile obsequisy.
I was a born a prince, of a minor province.
And ever since, I have often heard words minced,
By those below, who dare but tow

The Pirates Lament
[Contains - for effect - deliberate miss-spelling
and bad grammar]
That old pirate cave was a tourist attraction
The guide was in period dress
In old pirate garb and a well practiced script
This tale he would tell to impress…

Class Reunion
A football star with super speed,
Our prom king, Kyle, has gone to seed.
No longer likely to succeed,
He's out of work and hooked on weed.
Behind you's Jennifer, the one
Who led our cheers and planned our fun.

The Faeries Save the Day
By the light of the pinkest prettiest orange moon Faerie folk had ever seen,
There was a haze such as the elves could have invented, but maybe not.
It was the magical bewitching hour, and the meadow...

to wither and rot by those unable.

whose minds are weakened and bereft.

Bukowski
Was it said before? Sure.
Was it said this way? I doubt it.
Perspective is in no way obscure,
And his works are nothing without it.
His motivation’s observed in daily life,
Misery, not just some vague inspiration.
He begs for...

I'M Not Riding Sir
While I was drinking in the Vic'
Out Goondiwindi way,
This burnt out ringer on his horse
Reined in and said, "G’day!"
We'd all been playing 301,
So asked could he join in.
"Sure...

Dead Cow
It was a time to bond and booze with dear Papa,
An interval all the more naughtily charming
As it inflamed the temper of irascible Mama.
Before happy hour, we two went shooting
With the three o three I...

The Breakfast Brawl
A most unlikely, mismatched pair
For forty years did breakfast share.
Their names were Stretch, at eight feet tall,
And Squat, built like a bowling ball.
Because of their unique physiques,
By people they were labeled freaks.
Though of each other...

Coincidental Names and Vocations
I was reminiscing the other day about people I've known o'er the years,
And found it strange that their names corresponded with their careers.
For instance, Joseph Carpenter was handy with hammer, nails and saw.

The Silvery Scenes
The Silvery Scenes
By Stark Hunter
The silvery scenes,
Above the sensuous Mexican bloom,
Of transcendent yellow, red and orange,
Back there – in the digesting side garden,
Next door, adjacent the obscene lemon flowers,
An old sot sits and peruses

Love Is Who You Are ( Not, Just Something You Do ) Part 2
The mind has become a problem,
This ghost and goblin,
Throughout Love’s land!
The mind’s imagination,
Took over,
Love’s invitation,
By a tree of divided information!
It’s like, being love,
But having a relation,
With life and death information!
There was a tree of...

But that won’t happen I’ll just rail in despair
I’ll just go over to Vic’s take my usual chair
