Long Sylvester Poems

"Small Mutinies"



So what if my point of view
is not that which wraps 
you in comfortably warm
fluffed-up silky 
cashmere blankets 
of insecure insincerity
simple scribbles 
bleating from the 
chirping crickets 
and frog croaking
symphonies 
muddying waters
cutting pristine lines...

I can understand Cowgirls
And some are real cows
But 'Cowboys'?
Shouldn't they be Bullboys?
Why did they call the chimp
On Tarzan 'Cheater'?
I wouldn't play cards
Did Williams Tell spill the beans?
If rabbits have holes? 
Can they be filled again?
So...

Imagine if at the drop of a hat,
You could become a cartoon
Sylvester the Cat, 
Chasing poor little Tweety Bird,
Perhaps it sounds absurd
Or be Fred Flintstone or his friend,
Let’s just pretend,
I was Barney or Fred’s wife...

PROUD OF INCIVILITY 

 They claimed I was naked and uncivilized
So they came to clothe me and ''disrobe'' my naked shame
But I wish I remained the same
For they wiped away my honor and fame.

They claimed...

Remember the first disk we bought, oh so slim
Remember when we first turned on that channel, not so dim
The zeal and zest of the movie life

no bands formed, no marshal led
this was a unique parade for birds instead
all dressed up in their colorful wardrobe
proudly representing their native abode

the great snowy egret so staunch and prim

Surviving in the city


The dog stood on the corner, looking for the cat.
The cat was at the Warf side, behind a fishing vat.

The dog was known as Rusty, an Irish setter bread.
The cat was known...

Hobbies are for losers, and habits are hobbies for the poor,
But hopping into heaping piles of rubbish is haute couture.

What’s in, ladies and gentlemen, is what we want thrown out,
But not to own it but...

A story about my Sylvester,
Should yield a booster,
Every honest sentence defying a duster
His preferred designation, “A father” not Master.

Thirty-five years in an office 
That smelt of telephone and letter
But he wouldn’t telephone the police,
Relationships patching...

I thought I saw a nasty cat!
I did. Oh fancy that! 
Sylvester I must tell you,
You're a very naughty cat!
I also have to say
That you are terrible at maths!
You miscalculate your aims
That's why you fall...

"New Thoughts"

New everything,
new songs that we will sing,
new words,
nouns and verbs,
conjunctions,
with the pure function,
of holding sentences together,
like houses held tight in bad weather,
New thoughts and ideas,
new ways to adhere,
if you hear,
New places to explore,
new inspirations...

A Mouse with a club
With two big ears
Who lived in a hole
and ate cheese whole

He scurried around
Clicking his tiny toes
Twitch his nose while
Standing on two feet

With two tiny paws
Holding his cheese
His eyes searching for,

Terry said I was a real “sketch”

I'm taking that as a compliment

Not some colourful cartoon character

Wonder what it represents

Hope I'm more like Superman

Than that scatter brain Daffy Duck

Old Dick Tracy kinda makes sense

Or Sylvester running...
