this poem will give you something to do while in lockdown check thier fate
If I must die, may it be quick
unlike Kenneth Pinyan's death.
in my sleep would be fine
or like George Plantagenet
who drowned in wine.
with my loved one at my side
or while watching tele with Alex Mitchell
or seeing manchester united win the league
but not like Dick Wertheim, oh ouch you may declare
or better still while making love
unlike João Maria de Souza dreadful fate
but no matter which way I leave this realm
may my ashs, my home county cheshire retain.
The Gazelle!!!
The morning cock crows
And the feeling grows
Towards the daedal damsel
With the gaze of a gazelle
She is an enigma
A portrait with dimples
The opera of the steeples
And with an accolade for charisma
In the center of my fantasy
She gives me a frenzied insomnia
The feeling of euphoria
And the smooth warmth of ecstasy
Jideofor.Obidike
as "The Plantagenet"
The Genealogist
I have the results of my DNA
And am now in much dismay.
It says I came from different lands
Places that I had never planned.
I always thought my family tree
Was straight and solid as it could be.
Have a direct line to the Plantagenet Kings
But now I'm beginning to see weird things.
Related to third cousins I never knew
Strange sounding names for quite a few.
Should I contact them and introduce my self?
Or hide the results on my closet shelf?
Wish had never taken the saliva test
Shaky nerves now I must confess.
I am not the same person it really seems.
Because I've lost all my self-esteem.
