For a fortnight...

Two gates left and right

A wall to divide

Cradled in valiant fort
Oust Archimedes
Vastness being inside the dot
White dreams ignobly sold...

         where braves fought too meet glory
         angels still sing their deaths...

Red Fort-

The mouth,

Army clad in white-

The teeth,

Red carpet long-

The tongue,

Lips doors opening,

The VIP,food arrives!...

Fort Myers has not gone adrift
Although everyone needs a lift
With thumbs in the air
They need a rideshare
But FEMA has never been swift...

ducks flutter in murky pond 
snakes slither away

lions sneak a nap 
seals entertain laughing crowd 
penguins waddle by...

But cuts are more "Hi!" chat than axe
As sly as a fox
The Trumps loot Fort Knox
With lies quite shy of the facts...

Pegged cold cash to ounces of gold
But that’s not now true
Strong dollars are through    
The treasure at Fort Knox is mold...

Always
A Queen is hidden inside the fort

drooling on the crack of dawn
food for candy thoughts

quick licks trick the lip
hot, hot, fort, in disarray

To open the Treasury door

And asked them for a cure for greed

I can be joyful with each bubbly bath I draw....

is where every chic, rich dog retires
The most posh place around
for worn pug or old hound
Ten grand a week is all it requires

There are a couple who live in Fort Meyers
who are firm World War two deniers
They shout out the truth
It was filmed in Duluth!
Are they just dumb or a couple of liars

Writes the corniest folk songs on earth
His heart’s always breakin’
He’s again been forsaken

I can steal the gold from ole Fort Knox
A master thief has been my trade
Steal the treasure from a pirates box
But foiled are the plans I've made
The lock on your heart can not be swayed...

A naturalist living in Perth
[A man of considerable girth]
Snagged an old kangaroo
For an American zoo
And shipped it off to Texas, (Fort Worth)
