Short Geriatric Poems

Wake up negative!
Listen to that geriatric!
Wakes up so negative!
Ever tried being positive?
Go on, wake up negative!
Listen to that geriatric's 
blackmail and blip,
Go on, wake up negative!...

blowing her trumpet flower
my Jericho walls fall in
my geriatric state she
states she's younger

oh those who cast
the first stone for
crying out loud
geeze please

i live in a
glass
dome
so

don't 
damn
me if you
haven't judged

yourself...

This Shepherd boy hath long lost his flock,
Daydreaming in a daze
Not a thought I gave to the Time on the clock-
For those are the prudish ways!
Live in joy and merriment,
A Happiness without end? Ha!
I could never be more content
Than to have my Youth again!...

NOT PATRICK’S DAY

An Irishman, Patrick of course
Put all he possessed on a horse.
But sadly for Patrick
It proved geriatric
Now Patrick is full of remorse

Casual cabbie cannot conjure classic cucumber coats
Dapper daughter Denise daringly delivers dozen antidotes
Energetic expert eagerly eulogizes and enthusiastically emotes
Friendly fiancé Frankie finds fabulous frozen frolicking floats
Gorgeous grandson Greg grabs giant generous geriatric goats...

Each morning birds chatter and wake me from sleep
In avian society talk is cheep
**
A balding sheep who writes poems in the farmyard
Has written a sonnet and signed it, ‘The Baaahd’
**
The police came along and I’m locked up with felons
But I only admired the grocer girl’s melons
**
My Gran says respect the elderly or we all suffer
The thing is, she’s batty, the geriatric, old duffer...

Dinlow sad-ique
Sad saging is going
Down' assulting
London all around

Outer and inner work
As one, he certainly
Don't want the city
Number One.! IHe's in
The tub with gorge no
Doubt' its high time now
To empty it out, is it
Geriatric attraction that
Khan't be ignored ,? These
Look as rotten  pear
As i've seen in years.!...

A  good rifle or shotgun,
Kittens, pups, and Panda cubs.
Harley rides,
juke boxes and pinball machines.
Cool stuff like that.

Oh yes, and ogling Cosplay girls
In their sexy costumes,
and those joyful shuffle-dancing females 
on You Tube.
Vintage p..n

It’s then that ghostly desires rise up like sump
from a rusty oil tank,
impulses that make me tremble 
as if I had 
some kind of geriatric palsy....

A Limerick Stretch - A Limersix

I have masterminded a Limersix
Not bad for an ageing geriatric 
That's writing six lines
In poetry rhyme
And all in good time
You have crafted something simply sublime.

Facing the silent sea,
he sits in silhouette
against the light
of the scarlet sunset.

In stillness
of stolen gazes,
at seagulls taking flight
he hums~
geriatric euphony.

His languid voice
soars like a delicate dandelion~
and finally finds me.

The large cigarette burn i n the sky
Scorches an unforgiving landscape,
Aging the ideas of mankind. 
This corpuscle of bubbling pus
Cloaks the world with its runny yoke,
Which stains a blue plate.
Breakfast - 
Sustains a gluttonous body,
And warms the vast belly
Of ice tundra and desert sand
Which bathe in the ashen grains of time,
Until the fire dies,
And its light stubbed out in an ashtray,
By a little, geriatric man
Who has puffed away at our dreams....
