Long Strop Poems

Continued from FREEZER MICE

The cat had travelled straight from hell, a hell beyond the stars
The cat that theories claim once levied genocide on Mars
She now seeks vengeance on descendants of the primal shrew
Whoever knew that...

...Todd was surprised by his stern eyes,
he seemed serious about it.
Todd said, “There’s a town two days on,
my horse can take double a bit.

“But I don’t know about this ‘debt,’
I just did what any would...

"That the soul is a captive, treated humanely" John Astbery

When the frustration with self and poetry
can be described as the perfect spiral attempt of the peeling of an orange 

Investing so much time into perfecting something that matters to no one

It's a creation, a...

Let’s go skiing ! Said my wife 
It gives you such a thrill
So off we flew to Canada 
To face the bitter chill

We took a bus from Calgary
To Banff’s National park
Found our hotel, went to...

Put on a happy face
when I release taut fingers 
from your pallid cheeks.
Promises and empty lies 
are sported clichés
that spoil a silenced vocabulary.
A quieted understanding we've
vocally committed to;
barks a matted-jackal’s constitution -
perceiving morose consequences
of blind...

They spread the rumour
It ain’t true 
what they like to think of you
only human 
See their mood
humourous 
see you lose
exuberant 
banter bouncing 
blunt abuse
stand rebound it
legs refuse
their open mouths 
wish you clown
jokes they sound 
keep...

Original version:

Phone for the fish knives, Norman
As cook is a little unnerved;
You kiddies have crumpled the serviettes
And I must have things daintily served.

Are the requisites all in the toilet?
The frills round the cutlets can wait
Till...

Burden

Would anyone notice if i were gone,

How long before anyone would come,

What if i just slowly became withdrawn,

This game of chess i am simply a pawn,

Is it easier for them to just ignore me,

Not acknowledge...

You hear to many people now
look at success like it’s a crime,
that anyone who’s achieved it
only got it through acts malign.
That everyone who’s made it big
somehow must be an ‘oppressor,’
that it is all ‘exploitation,’
to dare...

A cluttered barbershop in my old hometown I fondly call to mind,
Was a gathering place to loaf and socialize, a great place to unwind!
Harry, the barber, kept farmers, the local rabble and boys like me,
Looking...

I ask myself have I come to a stand still?
Is this a Halt?, or is this only a full stop
Because if I were to get back up that hill
I think I'd need a Catapult to...

I have in my possession an object I really prize.
It belonged to two guys whom I really idolize.
'Twas a necessary device when straight razors were the fad.
'Tis the leather razor strop used by my Grandpa...

Remember when we were just kids,
When we shared a bath and a bedroom,
When we used to play outside,
On tinsel-decked scooters we’d zoom.
The back garden with the sandpit and swing,
The slide that gave us electric shocks,
The...

In the beginning was the void,
it made God annoyed,
he created the space and the sun.
He then made a place
called ‘The World’ in his space,
then he thought ‘Now I’ll really have fun’.

He planted a garden,
then made...

Fido

I took Fido out for a walk
I knew that the neighbours would talk
His ears stood up proud
His breathing was loud
And his teeth were like big lumps of chalk

I bought Fido only last week
From a bloke...

Tina learnt to knit her own sweater
Instructions followed to the letter
Many stitch she did drop
Gave too many a strop
When made looked like been through a shredder

Next she wanted to learn to crochet
Make flowers tied into...

Monday
Quick! Arm the army
Lucifer has gone barmy
Where’s the witch when we need her?
Having a strop, the silly mare
Stoke the anger of battle
This is more than tittle tattle

Rumours be damned
Satan’s got this thing planned
She primed up...

Seems we walked away the morning
Hil and I hiking toward Comer's Stand
Stopping awhile to swing on a grapevine
Identifying the wooded birds singing
We ate our lunch in early afternoon-
A peanut butter and jelly concoction
With raisins from...

I took my son to the barbers today, and I sat there and I thought about how it compared to when I was small,

All of the equipment is battery driven, but way back when it...

The life of a bull is never dull
I am always kept on the hop
Told to go from cow to cow

We are all entrapped
By the must have media game
My friend at work has got one
So I must get one the same
Or maybe even better
I’ll get the next one up
I bet that when I show him
