Herr Vilfred consults
his mirror.
Gawks long at himself
in horror.
His limp receding,
graying hair,
no longer that of a
debonair.
Gone's the tousled look
of long ago
that used to enthrall
women so.

Walk a mile in my two shoes.
Stalk days, while men spy through views
Talked. Stay! Aisles thin by new pews.
Balk! Weigh miles, when eyes, who choose
Caulked ways, file sin. Cry blue blues!
Chalk gray smiles, then try to schmooze
Gawks. Pray vile kin die. True dues!

I do not know?
folks can't help but laugh
funny neck of that giraffe
bent down for a quaff
yonder, turtle squats
on its shadow, scared and yet
gawks at zooming jet !

I saw a beautiful great horned owl today while out on my nature walk
He was sitting proudly while snapping his bill and deeply hooting at me
And watching me so intensely from his predatory eyes with piercing gawks
I was delighted until I saw bloody skeletal remains under his tree

The thorns have come for me
Her deadly flower walks
There's more for taking me
to deadly hallow docks
What once was gracing me
now trecherous goary blocks
When now I come to see
her hoary marry mocks
That now I know to see
more caring fair-thee flocks
So all I love to see
is sparing tarry gawks

His very bones smell of ocean
beard lashed with its salt
On land, rubber legs awkward
he gapes and he gawks
But rig him up a mast
billowy sails to go with it
Prow boldly juts forward ~
Thirty knots an hour, his ticket

With the chalk,
Teachers' hearts knock
Students flock;
Goats, we overstock
And sheep, we unlock!
With our talks,
Teachers' mouths stalk
Lazy students' works,
Discipline the ones that balk,
And reinforce the gawks!
With our walks,
Knowledge toast to hawk
Teachers nighthawk;
Going days overwork,
Reactivating students' blocks.
Happy Teachers' day!

Sir Vilfred consults the mirror
gawks long at himself in horror
his limp, receding, graying hair
no longer that of a debonair
the tousled look of long ago
that used to enthrall women so
now only makes him look so old
at best, so tired, losing his hold
he looks away hurt, disgusted
just can't believe he's this wasted
he's still a stallion thoroughbred
he tries to convince Sir Vilfred

She's split amongst the two
One a girl unheard of,
Few see little from
Who gawks at the slivered moon
through blotchy eyes,
Welled up tears as big as moon pies
The other a girl who holds up her fibs
Conjurring by magic,
A cloak to mask the lies
Who catches tears before they slip
Neither bangs or pursed lips
Can hide the sadness in her eyes
Both are placed with broken wings
She pulls her head together and flies
ME; this one note she sings

Little Cartons, Little Sacks
The mug of tea I drank at six,
the tea that drives me to the train,
needs a refill. At my desk,
I don’t do much. I wait
for lunch when every day
I eat so much the waitress gawks.
She doesn’t realize the years
till supper. Then I’ll dine alone again,
bolt everything that I bring home
in little cartons, little sacks.
After supper she’s not there
when the couch becomes my slab
till bed becomes my mausoleum
