Doggerel I or Nonsense Verse

A$$tronomical
by Michael R. Burch

Einstein, the frizzy-haired,
proved E equals MC squared.
Thus, all mass decreases
as activity ceases?
Not my mass, my a$$ declared!

Clyde Lied!
by Michael R. Burch

There once was a mockingbird, Clyde,
who bragged of his prowess, but lied.
To his new wife he sighed,
"When again, gentle bride?"
"Nevermore!" bright-eyed Raven replied.

Where a goblet of wine dripped into a priest dressed in robes violet and medieval.

Down into the crypts beneath the church's alter he had...

Earth temperature is flaring to the moon,

gon bring an apocalyptic kaboom
Hostile tweet emotions

Then sorrowful hearts
	will be melting soon
Unless we...

The Natural Way of Being

There’s a natural way of being 
And then there is a contrived way
Of trying to become.

I remember the natural way as a child
Simply being, exploring, playing,

Radio impulse
Stray songs invite;
Hip melancholy

~~~~~~~~~


Words and lyrics
Basket of moods;
Mental corridors

~~~~~~~~~


Espresso machine
Caffeine song;
Frothy brew

Dancing darling
Plucks my heart strings;
Sense surround

Listen now
Birdsong metaphor;
Dawn brings magic

Profound moments
Rain wets window;
Windy sadness

~~~~~~~~~


Neighbour smiles
Meal takeaway chit-chat;
Weather and prices

~~~~~~~~~


Pineapple slices
Lunch time treats;
Sour-sweet yellow

Smitten by the hands of the unjust the corrupt
Plots twisting, but in the voice of Yoda, "come to an...
