Sententiousness I seriously cannot bear
Just picture the gruesome scene
When the true blues ten in a row will capture
Seen by many as a purposeless pursuit
Such grim moments see us drop our defences
To give meaning to our existence
And yet who can ever be sure and rightly know
Where the dues of poetry must be fully paid
But,thank God,the memories will remain
I can reflect upon what it all meant
1)BEGONE DULL CARE
2)TRICK OR TREAT
3)THE SECOND COMING
4)PANTA REI OUDEN MENEI
5)PANDEMIC PANACEA
6)THE BOOK OF DUST
7)CRUSHED
8)THE WILDERNESS YEARS
9)EVEN OUR HEROES GROW OLD
10)PERSPECTIVE

Sententiousness I seriously cannot bear
I cannot abide po-faced pontification
Faced with which I want to pull out my hair
Being more at home in a festive occasion.
Flee the pessimism of the puritan's pulpit
There is more merriment found in carpe diem
When Falstaffian rogues with us carousing sit.
Send cold gravity to its chilling requiem
If you were given the news your end were nigh
No Cromwell roundhead,more cavalier Dartagnan
What better way to go,do you think,,laugh or cry?
Give me every day a mirthful companion.
So haste ye away,you gloomy prophets of doom
And allow us imbibe in a jovial room
