I've heard about the arrival of fanciful fushia strangers
but I've no fear of them and not worried about dangers.
They seem a bit nonsensical; funny the way they speak
To me, everything they say comes out sounding like Greek!
Maybe on their planet, peaches have three turquoise eyes
Could they be humans, just wearing an alien disguise?
I've never heard the haloed moon referred to as mother Mary,
nor of opulent opal oceans and a three humped dromedary.
I call them fluff nuggets; an accurate description, I think
Their gibberish makes me shake with laughter, quick as a wink
Life forms like these AI are manipulated by puppet strings
They're infringing upon planet Earth, inhabited by Earthlings.
*These are my thoughts and words, but if you take umbrage with
any of the lines, I'll throw Jan under the bus, cuz she started it.
The other people
At the local supermarket, today, a day out for lesbians
or so it seemed by their provocative attitude
Not that I mind, but one has to be wary not to look
at them, they take umbrage and become aggressive.
Why should I be involved with a muscular car mechanic?
Dressed in a summer frock.
It gives me a bitter pleasure to see how the western
world will end up eradicating humanity.
Once I met an actor who said he loved me, a bit awkward
nevertheless, it is touching to be liked.
Hadn’t he died of cancer, who knows? we might have
ended as two elderly men looking out for each other.
I must take umbrage with this phrase
I’ve heard it stated in multiple ways
The essential nature of it goes like this
I’ve asked you to do this already
The implication that one is obligated to perform
Simply by the act of asking something of them
What kind of self- important attitude allows
That your request out ways the consent of the asked
And even if consented to the asked party should
Lose control of the time frame to complete the task
I’ve heard parents, teachers, bosses, politician’s, preachers, husbands, wives,
All succumb to the notion as if it was a magic potion
I asked therefore it creates an obligation by which
I should be obliged in my machinations
Well You’re not!
each moment reborn, in mind body worn
we look at aspects needing to be shorn
fickleness of unsteady attention
spiralling thoughts, veiling joy elation
feral instincts, given to lust and rage
why to wisps of disdain, we take umbrage
mood swings ranging from ennui to envy
shadows looming over serenity
regrets of past and fears of the morrow
dead to the now, living life in sorrow
measured response, looking at all askance
furtive eyes, twisted tongue, our shrivelled stance
myriad attachments to fleeting forms
where lies, oh hermit, bliss magnetism warm

Am I the only One who sees the need elsewhere,
Who objects to TV's in the takeaway shop here,
The hospital waiting room over there,
And one in the adjoining corridor, just to be sure.
Huge ones at too many sports venues in case we missed the four.
They don't tell the patients that cost of putting them there,
Could pay for a Nurse for a year,
Or the reason your takeaways take so long to appear.
Is that TV is more important than adequate kitchen gear,
The large ones prohibit free sports gear,
And keeps families out of there.
You can put a TV in your car,
And I see no need to care,
Or watch the one behind your bathroom door,
I still won't care,
But when my medicine is too dear,
And the standard of care,
Is beyond unfair,
Even though I pay my taxes every year
Then I take umbrage here,
And hope an ulcer will not appear.
