Short Gooks Poems

You won't kill the spider that scurries 
across the floor of our living room, 
but you once killed solders at the Chosin.

You called them gooks, then,
now you know each was only a man
masked by the face of dehumanizing war.

After fifty years true faces turn toward you.

In life you never heard their voices,
in death they speak, and you agree,
the Forgotten War never can be.

My first car was green , red and black .

 Part Nissan , Jeep and Cadillac .

 When you pulled out the choke 

 The boot filled with smoke

 Flames farting straight out the back .


 I called it my old Batmobile 

 Made of plastic , old planks and  steel .

 It was loved by weird gooks

 And Hazardy Dukes

 But with Babes , had little appeal .



For Chantelle's "Gas" contest .....

A land without a single crook,
Because criminals they don't brook:
They'd out fish them with a hook
Relying in their roguish look...

A District without a Half Crook
Battered eyes to one make a spook
And as unpleasant as damned gooks...
The criminal, without fail, cooks
First claiming that he lives took

Then, high time petty that you forsook
No one has got wings of rook
Nor in Vengeful World saved by Book....

Darkness uttermost
Howl gobblins, gooks, grinch and ghost
Dripping touch of night

Blood like curdled light
Candle tears, white serpents hiss
Shadowing the mist

Hell has broken free
Behind the masked jubilee
Of death's silent screams

Rats, pumpkins, dead dreams
In dried fairytales of leaves
Mark, our prank deceives

The shuddering knife
Not again, jack ripped his heart
With pale piper's fife.

Not heaven nor art
The cold merriment, a wheeze
Of dark wintry breeze....
