Remember Maxine Who Us Will Ween with Vaccine
remember Maxine
who we know will always ween
us with her vaccine
Maxine and the Vaccine
There was a woman called Maxine
Who refused to have a vaccine
She said "Its a plot,
I don't want a shot!"
And left shouting something obscene.
Hey Maxine will you get your passport with the vaccine?
it keeps a tab of where you have been.
If you don't take it, you can't go out
How's that even legal, are you going to shout?
the algorithms block my post
They prefer pictures and food the most
I don't worry what they think
Lower than them I will not sink
I won't take the vaccine to live my life
I believe in freedom, not tyranny and strife.
You are the hound the stags of history ran before
I feared your coming before you came
Your panting breath upon my heels
The flames of desires
No tropic rain can quench
At nights from distant pasts
You call my name
And I in sleep or waking keep the refrain
Of memory humming on the shores of thought
Over and over and again.
Where shall I find you who seek my demise
How can escape you
That my desire pursues
What is it that calls me back again
Honey lips from hibiscus hour
Hips undulating
Like the Blue Mountain misted with power
Is it some treasure in love
Undiscovered unknown
Or is it old age
Surfing the the fleeting sands with rage
To be the swan singing
In the hunter's cage?
Eyes as blue as the sky,
Skin so paper thin.
She felt so cold as
I leaned over and kissed her chin.
Angels were calling her name, but
I wasn't ready to say good bye.
We all heard her take her last breath.
As tears sprang from our eyes.
If there is a heaven,
I'm sure she is there.
Who could say no to her
Smile and silver hair?
Never was there a better
Woman to have been born.
I miss my grandma so much
All i can do is mourn
A cup of coffee here, a newspaper there.
A routine you shared with few.
Your smile, your laughter, and that gentle touch
that said you truly care.
Treasured moments, no other can compare.
A true gem in the rough, always know a piece
of you will live on with me.
For you see you were more than a friend to me.
A grandmother sent for me.
A true gift from above.
Treasured always you will be.
