She jumped on my hand.
She slammed her foot on my head.
I decided to retaliate,
So now she is…..

She made the biggest mistakes
When suddenly put on the brakes
From going all the way
With a guy named Play
So, he ended up giving her the shakes

rooster wakes the dawn
sound of hens fluttering wings

At first all red
We hit the brakes
Then amber lights
A few mistakes
Green for go
But take it slow

A UFO went to land in Dakota
But the brakes didn't work one iota.
It didn't take long
to decide what was wrong
seems the space ship was made by Toyota!

Walking up the hill
Head on straight
Strapping on gloves
Sitting on the gate
Clipping in the petals
locking up the brakes
leaning
standing
sweating
shaking
waiting
and then
Slam

tires howling loudly
she reaches for my shoulder
horns like sirens wail
brakes failing on icy bridge
I wake in a hospital

Old rusty Bessie just drove her last mile
Went with a sputter instead of a smile
No more brakes slipping
No more gears ripping
Think I'll relax with a horse for a while

Your true friend sees you ...
By the smile showing pride .
As the strength by their side .
By the trust you'll confide .
As the brakes , on life's slide ...

The brakes squeak
and the car hisses…..
a puncture
The spare tyre replaced
the engine revs again
the journey continues.

Twenty-one means you can have your first drink.
Not soda, milk, orange, a Roy Rogers, nor shake.
Yes, a beer, wine, whisky, martini, vodka. Just think -
Remember good strong coffee will put on the brakes.

ACCESS DENIED
screeching of brakes
sequels then breaks
flickering lights…
on…off..on..off..
then it all turns
white
like peeling skin
screaming
access denied

Twenty-two is a shitty
Thing. No age left to look forward
To, the slow decline steepens
As your brakes quickly go out.
Oh. How could I
Forget?
My Insurance
Goes up at
Twenty-five.
I
Cannot
Wait.

I detest bad drivers
They threaten me
They cut me off,
Don’t let me be
I abhor bad drivers
They’ve no regard
Being polite
Is just too hard
I loathe bad drivers
They slam on brakes
They pass me by
And make mistakes

You don't even notice
the beautiful landscape of life...
You don't see any color!
I arrive and propose
a stop for study...
you simply
and without brakes, accelerate...
move on madly
with nothing to carry,
and without me...!

On a cold ice bound day, a duck with her drake
Flew into land, upon an ice covered lake.
While ice skating seemed fun,
Round the ice they both spun.
Ducks on ice without brakes, soon get a headache.

Like riding on the handle bars of a bike
with no brakes, going down Telegraph hill
in San Francisco,... during an earthquake…
...With a flower in your hair…If you like.

Light Verse
I have my fears
I have my brakes
but without much thinking
I buy myself many things.
I accumulate many .debts...
Out of fear I tell myself some things
to rationalize and apologize...
I buy, I consume...
Soon I exist...!
Cogito ergo sum ! !

Light Verse
If I were a guy…I’d…
Go on a hunt
Learn to punt
Fix my own brakes
Eat rare steaks
Sport long johns
Stomp on tampons
Start bar fights
Ignore red lights
Swing a big axe
Stare at huge racks
Pack a huge luger
Nail a rich cougar!

SLIPPERY SLOPE
If the world’s intentions
Were turned into actuality
Wars, famines, infections
Would cease to be reality
Our broad highway is not internet
But icy blackness without brakes
For most there is no safety net
But there must be - for all our sakes

Silent empty train,
Lush warm body presses mine
Slow down or derail
Eyelashes flutter
Blue eyes flash intense passion
Too late now, no brakes

I have all the fears
Which gave birth
Only to tears
All the things I borrow
Give rise only to sorrow
And have I all pains
Bring forth no gains
And am I just as sick
To look like a stick
Even if I did rake
I’ll need all the brakes
O God, grant the kish
To end all my wish!
