The quivering quitters, quaking and quacking
In quite a quizzing quagmire, quietly
Quash their qualms. The ***** quest they have acquired,
Is a quandry of quantum quantity.

jumble of juicy jaguars justified
kicking kangaroo king’s left side
looking lovely ladies in waiting lied.
making merry mischief, feeling mystified
nervous nymphets getting a gentle glide
onset of ordinary outstanding ocelot who can barely abide
perfectly persnickety penguins parading patriot pride
quizzing querulous quails quacking for their leader has died
random rapscallions responding to a rip-roaring ride
savorless scatterbrained scribes on sister Susie’s side
tantalizing tigers teasing juicy jaguars about the upcoming tide.

lacksidasical larry leaps lovingly through the air
making mincemeat marauders truly want to care
nine nefarious nigglebuns are trying not to stare
outrageously outstandingly outrunning marathon mare
providing pristine plots to princely priestly pree
quizzing quality quails wondering why I am free
resident ruffians reaching residual responsibility
stressing strenuous starlight studies under thee
tricky trustworthy triple treats tripping up and down the bay
understanding understudy underlings trying to have their say
visualizing various viillains we often meet along the way
‘xoecting ‘xact ‘xasperating ‘xersizes to save the day
zany zigzagging zealots zipping into the fray

A huge room not denied luxury,
The rejected in it: Misery
Of fine glass up to the bookshelf:
If one was close to it saw oneself:
The weight of a thousand Christian Books
And at what the smart owner looks;
Glasses for whisky but no whisky:
To have whisky displayed risky:
"One can't defend in a voice husky
What surely makes the keeper frisky".
His callers would sit in a cushion
Owner of the room lives for true fashion:
Man can serve Lord God and some passions
And this not prompt long quizzing sessions...
The clean-shaven in a clean cassock
He had vowed he would never forsake.

Longing of the heart, of the mind
Curiosity is killing, step by step
The moon and the stars-Insomniac
Who will end these queries
I hear them talk abut their sire's
"my father this, my father that"
Inside I'm void, empty of utterance
Dumb-my mum is
I desire to know the truth
Every time the sun moves
The wound deepens
I want to know my dad
I'm searching for my daddy
I'm searching for my daddy
If you happen to see him
Let him be informed
I'm still searching for him
Daddy-never called anyone so
Even if Ill only have a glance of you
Ill still search for you
Daddy, I have a lot of quizzing
Why you left me alone
Why you advised Mummy to get rid of me
You abandoned me
But, here I am searching for you
Cause I love you anyway
If anyone happens to see him
Inform him, I'm yearning for him
Patiently waiting, waiting for that moment
Hopeful I am

Playful pony promenade
Quietly quizzing querulous quail
Respite regulated regimented rabbits
Studiously steering sterling striped starlings
Tricking trinkets, trunks and tributaries
Undervalued, underdeveloped, and underdone

Avid anteaters ate artichokes
Blossoming beyond barley’s beauty,
Classic chews can clearly
Deny delivering dangerous dangling dates
Evening eggplants enormous evolved ecstatic
Ferocious fig fritters furthering Frito’s finesse.
Galloping gingerbread giants gobbling goats gelatin,
Hurrying heavily handsome hindquarters
Imagining illustriously ignorant
Jealous juried jams
Killing king’s kiwi kingdoms.
Lazy llamas laughed lightly
Making monster muffins melt
Near Neville Nettle’s nearest nutty nerves.
Opulent Ostrich ostracizes olive oils,
Putting putrid previewing pastries past
Quality quizzing quails'
Ridiculously rancid roasts
Seriously swimming sideways since strawberries
Traveled toward tender turkey talk,
Undermining understudy’s uninteresting
Very vivacious vixen’s vigorously vain vixens
Who will work wonders when
‘xtra ‘xtravagant ‘xtrapolations
Yell, yowl, yippee yelping
Zeroing zealous zealots’ zesty zeal.

My great dentist Sir Richard D. McFly
Naughtily asks but I cannot reply.
Open mouth ugh-propped.
Politeness has stopped.
Quizzing away with my lips in a Y.

The diamond-encrusted tiara
On the head of feelings I harbor
As in mind I behold the aura of Aurora
In a love labour
To delight Aurora’s might in the moonlight
Shimmering and glowing on the periphery
Of the penultimate night I bite
On the ferry
I board with bated breath in the passion
Fastening common sense to sentiment
In the dimension of the emotion
Of the love torment I never meant
As in pain Myrtle on a bed lies
Quizzing my determination to bring her plan to fruition
In the heat of the moment she flies
On Cloud Nine when emotion
Takes over proceedings
Egging our hearts to synchronise
With intensive feelings on ceilings
Where without further ado we organize
A house warming party
Within our inner circle
Where in the company of top society
We savour our love miracle.

Moon was not faraway.
It rejected the evidence against the rhyme
and proceeded to release
the poem.
The colored bracts of
bougainvillea, fall solemnly, to kiss
the grass. Spring was around
the corner.
Quizzing a stone, a dream
crashes in my hands;
becomes a tiger moth and
settles on your lips.
Future turns into a shell.
I pick it up from the beach of time.
Play with it for sometime and
give it away to my offspring.
It was the beginning. It was the end.

When you walk alone in the dark
In the seconds to midnight
When you inhale slowly
In the deepest inquisition
Which part is quizzing, puzzling
Great creations surrounds you
The stars guides you, tells you the right direction
But you are deaf to judge muteness
The limit line of dimension, space and time
Extending to unknown limitation
Muteness getting worse
Which part is quizzing, puzzling
Great creations or your self

But piracy yells at muteness

YOU TAUGHT ME THAT TOMORROW
I forgot my coat and my fur hat,
You said you said, you told me that.
You taught me how to play the sonata,
And taught me to sing for the cantata.
You said I was taught and it's a fact,
You said you said, you taught me that.
Grandmother taught me to bake a pie,
In uncle's plane, I was taught to fly.
My mind is quizzing the lessons now,
That this is that and that is how!
I think you showed scientific fact,
You said you said, you told me that.
I cannot recall all I've learned,
The hours spent, the candles burned.
The practice on paper, canvas, or a mat
But, you said you said, you showed me that.
I never learned the "knowing" we borrow,
Perhaps you taught me that tomorrow.

Caught between the sun and pavement,
Hand in hand and yet apart,
Each one’s friend, but each other’s case,
To the end from the start;
There was no other door,
There was no other way,
For us to live;
We triumphed in the night,
Succeeded in the light,
Each time;
We knew only right and wrong,
Would forever keep us strong,
Never quizzing the road ahead,
We resolved to proceed;
Finding friends and finding knowledge,
We would feel like man and wife,
Resting on each others’ minds,
We declared truth in life;
No matter where we were,
No matter how we did,
We knew we were tall,
Whoever would inquire,
Whoever would aspire,
We loved;
Sometimes hand in hand together,
We’d assert transparency.

This morning I was called to a meeting between myself and my mind. I had no idea that this was on todays agenda, and so I was totally unprepared for the questions that seemed to be coming in rapid succession. At first I thought I knew what I was talking about, only to have my mind change my opinion. I came away from the meeting having feelings of inadequacy, and of ineptness, only to be rescued by the little voice hidden deep in my psyche telling me to accept the fact that although I was not properly prepared for such a spontaneous meeting, that I should find solace in the fact that my mind was quizzing me on things that happened as long ago as yesterday

Asking you to be you
Because you are seeming a little blue
Carless from life, taking into mind
Doesn't that keep you on time!
Even though you have been a leaving,
Freedom has brought you back to my door
Geese laid their eggs, right by your sore
Heaven knows why you come back
I just open up the store
Joyful you come ,at last
Kindly I give you some cash
Loving the way words roll off your tongue
Mindless to say they
Never did they want you to stay
Obviously they said the rudest things
Politeness was not one of their ways
Quizzing you solely
Respect has got take away
Sadly beating you just so you have a place to stay
Time has seemed it will take forever
Under the weather is the
Vases of the loved feathers
Why you seek to get a hold
Xerox is not in
Your behold
Zig- zagging is your only way you would be sold
