Thanksgiving Day Disguise

The turkey's on 
Old man Johnson's farm
All wised up this year

Logging on
To Amazon
About mid November

With Halloween out of the way
They were bound to save
On the items they would need

Which worked out great 
Cause all they could afford to pay
Was in scratched up chicken feed

The pigs helped in
The ordering
As it's a well known fact

That being turkey's 
They're always in a hurry
And ain't nobody got time for that

They saved up extra seed
For quick delivery
When you're on the cliffs edge dancing

Coming down to it
This being life or death
There's no need to take chances

In the nick of time
The package arrived
On the day before

The fateful day
Known to our hero's as shake and bake
November 24th 

On that morning when
Old man Johnson then
With ax in hand stepped outside

Where he tried to think
Had he ever seen 
So many cows in his life

In between the moo's 
He heard a gobble or two
Which in itself is very strange

Plus the Amazon bill
For umpteenth costume cows
He just can't quite explain

Premium Member Evil Has a Childhood

toss anger, he said
into the bin of waste
waste not mankind’s love
with abuse and bite
the bullet skies
high the eagle flies
why not the steeple
less with feathers flocked
why not the pews on
threadbare knees
that knock and palms
close touch of closed
and ethereal eyes, in shock
of amazing blue, far above
the whizzing bell of shots
some fell, some rise
both have a knell and sigh
anger flung like monkey dung
lay upon the sheetrock roof
its lies are born and cradled
evil has a childhood, is able
to wean and crawl, to fall
toss anger, he spoke
to the deaf and blind
they never woke nor wised
up. six feet downer done
swept into the bin of waste
a godforsaken life

Thar: the Deserted Land

All men have born desires 
    garland of the prettiest arm. 
    Want to meet in the loveliest Place 
    Where no hurdle no harm. 

    She was waiting to Mr right 
    Spider webs to trap just right. 
    The sea of sand was all over
    But emotions not mood to over. 

    Mirage born ownself in hot summer 
    Desert to quench herself 
    From the blood of the craziest
    Creatures , mad behind the mates. 

   The thirsty traveller no mood
   To give up so easily. 
   Move forward in the Thar desert 
   With wised steps gradually. 

     She was standing in isolated  land
    The desert at not present water tank.
    To hug her crazy moth which 
    Will add a more number in her hunt.

    Mirage produces in sunny noon
    In sand to catch unknown fellow. 
    My friend was almost mad behind Angel 
    Don't recognise the upcoming fellow. 

     The body and the soul were thirsty 
     Very strong these were both. 
     No one ready to move back
     So he travelled to quench both. 

   Now the real world and the real goal 
   Feet scored miles and miles to go.
   Which goal post he wanted to goal
   Still, didn't have a hole to goal.

   His breath was leaving without any alarm
   My feet were freezing without cold.
   Dearest few steps your can make me alive 
   If you want to save ,without delay hold.
  
    Come on, come on my kind princess 
    Come on my sweetheart 
    I have left the world far behind 
    Come on and hug me , if don't mind. 

     Break hurdle from surroundings 
     Break chains of illusion own self 
     Stretch hands to welcome me
     Come out from the fairy tale thyself. 

    Don't become very shirty 
    I am not behaved as dirty
    Please, quench  body and soul's thirsts
    No one can do this except you buddy. 

   I am dying without water
   Millions yards I covered for you
   Looks insufficient to meet you
   But remaining must cover you.

   But regret she was unmoved 
   And so friend was lying unmoved.

Courtship 101

Oh, Medieval Studies hit me hard! 
I'd had to give myself a dressing-down, 
A telling-off: "You want that cap and gown? 
Then get your ass to lectures!" Bowland Yard 

was frosty, unforgiving on my feet 
that Monday morning. Seven forty-five? 
I'm all alone? Is anyone alive? 
I took the lecture theatre's highest seat, 

(that is, remotest from the podium). 
What sap gives lectures at this time of day? 
"The Role of Guildsmen in the Passion Play" - 
small wonder I was held in odium 

by my professors. I'd been bent on passion, 
and far too keen on play, to have a clue 
what any of this meant, but now I knew 
I had to sharpen up ... well, after a fashion. 

That early stuff took place was news to me, 
the party-loving fresher. One more yawn 
resounded in the chilly air. Forlorn, 
my scruffy pad took doodles, listlessly. 

A door lisped open. In swayed Cheryl Ladd - 
no, Rita Coolidge - Buffy St. Marie. 
Some little trinkets tinkled gracefully 
as Buffy slid beside me. I hid my pad 

with one swift forearm. "Is it taken?" She 
bestowed on me a smile so sweetly knowing, 
I didn't know if I was coming or going. 
"This seat," she said. I stuttered, "No, it's free." 

The lecture, when it happened, was a killer, 
but I was insulated from all pain. 
I even thought I might show up again, 
with Miss World wafting something like vanilla. 

I crossed the Yard with no thought but my bed, 
but someone tugged my sleeve. That fragrance! Her! 
"I'm Helen." My whole campus was a blur. 
"I wonder ... could you help me, please?" she said. 

The next part can be skipped, or summarised. 
She wanted me to teach her Skelton, Chaucer - 
well, anything. Even Hengist and Horsa! 
Three lesson-dates went by. I hadn't wised 

up yet. Tonight, she didn't seem that fussed 
with Grendel's mother's vile propensity 
for harm. She looked with strange intensity 
full in my eyes. "You catching that last bus?" 

The air seemed cooler as I left her flat. 
No hug tonight. No pasta to take home. 
Her hair stayed stolid, captured by her comb. 
Somehow, our lessons died off after that. 

Long decades drain away, we don't know how. 
A moral to this tragic history? 
All I can think is, what I'd give to be 
nineteen again - and know what I know now!
