Today's April Fools
And your pants are on fire.

Prying minds do Enquire....

The spire of our church caught on fire
So the Bishop sang with the choir
When out of the mire
A voice would enquire,
"Who on earth is that two-faced liar?"...

Hey diddle-diddle
  Municipalities fiddle
Crime goes unchecked
  Voters' nerves are wrecked

Twee-diddly-dum
  Congress sucks its thumb
Inflation soars still higher
  Blue-ribbon committees enquire......

Tell me everything
Reveal me in your words
I'm evocicated by you
You incantate me all these evenings
I'm nothing without you
Unless, of course I am...
Let me know this
Mistreat me until I enquire
I'm the genie out of the bottle

The stream runs to the river,
         the river runs to the sea, 
         without asking for advice,
         don't even enquire why...
         They just run for love,
         because so the
         nature prescribed...
         Each one with 
         its every duty... !...

He said to once again enquire
About the things he should acquire,
Which their Law School Programs require
From one seeking to be Esquire 
And he's shown a gown of a Choir
He'd seen in a jeep like Sequoia:
On a good friend,catechist Isaiah,
Then,firing the jeep in a mire
In front of a kiosk Of Keziah
"No to a choir- like esquire:
Readers of Book of Obadiah..."...

l want to ask you questions
Though perhaps that is rude
I just want to know more about you
Yet do not want to intrude

From your poetry words
I often envision who you may be
Gender, age and so forth
So you are no longer a mystery to me

Though fear of overstepping the line
I will never enquire
You will always remain a mystery
Whilst your poetry l read and admire

To digest the news less yet ironically stay informed.
To continue to read - so from my room I may travel and have a life transformed.
To question when needed, to debate discuss and enquire what still matters most to me.
To see the new ‘Scream’ and celebrate 25 nostalgic years of murders most bloody.
To write and reflect and to vary my words, in the hope I won’t regret this passing of time afterwards....

My girlfriend made her bikini out of large farmer handkerchiefs,
She tied them tight with all her might hoping never to debrief.

A triangle here tied to a triangle there is all that keeps her covered,
And she looks so cute in her swimsuit that close to her I hovered.

I don’t have a cold this summer but I spend time praying for a sneeze,
So I can eye her while I enquire, may I borrow a handkerchief please?...

HE LAYS WAYS
WHICH ACCUMULATE PAYS
HOW DARE YOU FLAYS
BEFORE HIS SAYS
THOUGH DO PRAYS
FOR IT STAYS
TO AVERT RAYS

SHE PRONOUNCED IT ALL
ALL KEPT IN MALL
TO IMPROVE FROM FALL
SHE TENDS PLAYING BALL
INSTEAD YIELD TO CXIMA TO ALL
ACCEPT PROXIMA TO WALL
WHO, NEXT TO STALL

BOTH CALL TO TRAY
EITHER FALL TO STAY
WHO’S STALL TO PRAY?
THUS WHO BALL TO PLAY?
WHEN ASKED WALL TO FLAY?
THEY ENQUIRE MALL TO PAY
THEN ALL AGREE WHICH WAY…...

Van Gogh had rescued a starving vampire
Why was he starving I hear you enquire
The answer I think will instil disbelief
When I say that vampire had no pointy teeth

The vampire became Vincent’s most willing aide
Although of course he only worked in the shade
One night he crept from the tomb where he hid
Grabbed a cold beer and he pulled back the lid

Hey Vince, do you fancy a cool pint of beer
Van Gogh shook his head… ‘No fangs, I’ve got one ear.’...

Dr Johnson I presume

May I enquire why Sir

This 2nd edition of your dictionary

Has so very few words and only 1 page
in it 

Such as and if I may , can I quote you

Contempt
Corruption
Cruelty
Deceit
Disregard
Genocide
Lies
Manipulation
Power

Oh or am I missing the point is this
indeed in fact the Machiavelli

Political and Power special edition

They use to put your hand on for
swearing in ceremonies

The truth and nothing but the truth

So help me God...

'Tis like I walk knee deep in mud
Where once though I was gliding,
Had my heart misunderstood
You now seem undeciding.

Love I thought came to the fore
My eager heart was flying,
Yet now it lay upon the floor
Were all my hopes now dying.

I dared not guess, nor enquire,
I was awash with dread,
Oh how love, rife with desire
Wrought havoc with my head.
