APROPOS OF DING DONG DITCH AND PALS
APROPOS OF DING DONG DITCH AND PALS
Literally, AI pranks
Have caused suicides:-
One while on the computer;
The other by a back shot:-
This may sound funny,
But death is no silly joke;
Neither should pranks be:-
Putting all in perspective,
In half of a month,
Check out “AI Psychosis”
And its friend, “Sycophancy”!?!
As must be with war,
Let us crack down on greed and
Its collateral

zebras and giraffes are pals
Zebras and giraffes are pals with wows!
Like pygmy goats and milking cows
If predators are close, giraffes sound the alarm
Zebras run with their herd to avoid death or harm

Years Flow By
I watch my years flow by
from chair, from sofa, bed.
I watch my life go by.
And life sees me go by -
my folks, my friends, my pals.
How long will this go on?
What do they think of me
as they can see me pass
so swiftly, this way, that?
Little life goes by
from chair, from sofa, bed.
What now is there

Many purple poets with so much to say
Can’t read them all but teal try anyway
I heard red heart beat from white page
Was in your cherry chest but I felt it anyway
I green gain from poems good and bad
I like them short long strong happy sad
I like them peach weak very inspiring
Like comforting soul

I am pen pals with the reaper and although he never writes back he’s my closest friend. I write him daily though not through the words of a young man but rather through the pain I display on my wrists. I see him everywhere, opportunities to meet him laying in the kitchen draw, draw upon

Pals
I remember a group of little ones
Playing in the sun having fun
Each one a mate and a cobber true
All having a say in what we’d do
We grew to care for each other specially
Inseparable together laughing so easily
Alan was the best sportsman
Playing football and cricket was at his command
As we grew we knew that life

You know I heard that right?
The unfair screaming at yourself, unrelenting.
That’s not okay tonight.
Even if you think it’s acceptable venting.
Because hearts hurt and you can’t really heal.
When every time it gets a layer, you rip off the peel.
Who told you to talk like that?
Who said that’s how

Pals
Their faces are still there;
caricatures and cameos,
grinning mugs and jug ears.
Cheering, jeering chums
that would phone at four in the morning
to garble drunken thoughts,
make momentous plans,
or borrow ten quid.
The oddball humorist
and part-time suicide,
the drama queen
contesting her own shadow,
the poet who never wrote a poem.
The mon ami and mon amie
that drank for you
when you could drink no

Friends Forever
Friends forever.
One of my best friends died today
Left me before I had the chance to say
Exactly what I always wanted to express
My favorite friend one of my best
Friends from the beginning friends to the end
Best of friends so deep within
Friends are those you'll love to remember
Regardless of who regardless of gender
The people you've shared

Party Pals
Precious people, pals
Yearning for the open air
A breath of fresh enlightenment
Discovered in a group of friends
Getting together to share the moments
With a loving spirit of hope and promise
For happiness found within a crowd
Partiers, vibrant and loud
Opening hearts and shouting delight
Into the happy place
Where music is a part
And lights beam all around
Welcoming the noise that resounds
Echoing

Old Pals
We are the pals brigade me lads,
the finest that you've seen.
We tilled the land just like our dads
or picked the coal black seam.
And now we're off to a foreign clime
to show Fritz a trick or two.
But we'll be back by Christmastime,
to spend it home with you.
We are the pals brigade me boys,
taking longer than we

Xmas Pals
As seasonal passage conjures two friends,
Winter paint faces full of joy and cheers,
St. Nick and Frosty, all children then befriends,
Both are treasures to precious little dears.
Winter paint faces full of joy and cheers,
Gaze the sky for Santa's sleigh o'er the glens,
Both are treasures to precious little dears,
Made Frosty
