love can be spectacular
especially standing up
but bending for a handbag
makes a bloody mess...

Marmalade moon
Walking in
Red high
heel shoes and
Silver handbag
Drifting through
This foggy night
Swinging her
Paper-mache
Orange lamp...

I rummage through old memories 
 like an old woman rummages 
 through a handbag, 
 Searching for a reminder 
 of who I was before. . . 
 looking to find a way back 
 to being me without you....

some or brown some or round
women in this town
they get down
love there music sound
radio or cell video

 the old hag  bag that sag
or  the bike they ride

in there

Farewell, Tinky Winky
You were purple, with a red
Handbag in your tinky hands
And hanger on your head
And you taught a generation
To say 'Uh Oh' to the sky
Tubby Bye Bye Tinky

from her handbag
she took some
prescription pills
while some frustrated
sexual fantasy
crawled up the ladder
in her silk stockings
and began sucking
at her clitoris
as she sipped
on her coffee
and speared the final
remains of the stale
chocolate cream cake...

There was a young lady,
Called Mrs McCoy.
Who went to the shop
To pick up a new toy.

The chap at the counter
Lost all of his banter,
When in her handbag
It started to deploy.

I know what your thinking
And I've not been drinking.
It was only a rocket,
For her little boy....

Old Croc.

What ever happened
to that green eyed Croc?
Who loved his music
Jazz and Rock.
You'd see him there
the party's host
eating peppers and fish
on part baked toast.
Someone shouted
Why that old Croc died
from the love sick blues
he now lives on as 
handbag and shoes....

Your image, 
a malfunctioning promise
idles in my handbag.
I took that picture
when I took your word
never expecting both were
two dimensional.
I can’t breathe life into your promises
any more than I can infuse it 
into your photograph
but at least I have something tangible 
in your picture.
The promise remains a myth....

He stole her heart and her handbag;
she cooked his goose and lemon pie.
He planned the purse theft as a gag;
he stole her heart and her handbag.
Her heart also his, watch him brag,
but not so fast--she will deny
he stole her heart and her handbag;
she cooked his goose and lemon pie.

ladybug, ladybug wearing 
her fabulous red polka dot dress
while holding her 
lovely pink cotton candy handbag
with her beauty cosmetics
while humming a  delightful tune
from the old theme song 
from the Andy Griffin Show
while strolling along the old country road
towards the Springfield county county fair
quicker than grease lightning...

A lady´s Bag. 

A handbag is a handbag…is
They may come in different 
Shapes and sizes but inside 
Chaos reigns. 
Don´t try to be helpful when she
Is looking for the car keys 
You will only be shocked by 
Its content 
Be patient even when it 
Rains and she remembers the keys 
Are in the other bag the one 
That matched her shoes 
 
A handbag is a handbag…is
Try to tell that that to my wife....

Don't be fooled by the smile of a crocodile
Who appears to be happy to meet you.
For though his grin is beguiling,
In his head he's compiling
Various ways he is planning to eat you.
A croc's disposition is hard to predict,
It's quixotic and largely a moot case.
The main thing he most often worries about,
And what keeps him for poachers upon the lookout,
Is becoming a handbag or suitcase....

If you were a handbag
I'd only carry you
when you matched my dress.
I'd sling you over my shoulder
and ignore you,
unless I wanted to get something 
out of you.


But you are not 
part of my outfit
or at my beck and call.
Nor can I put you away
when you do not suit 
my mood.


You are a person
of living flesh and blood;
So I wait for you
to come to me
of your own free will,
If you will......

Most embarrassing moment





Morning rush to office 
and I was in a hurry,
Board meeting, my presentation,
all work done fit and fine,
Suit, sandals, handbag 
and the graceful makeup,
As I viewed myself last
mirror gave me shock of life,
What was wrong with my Gray cells,
the zipper open ?
Oh God ! Had it been ..
the most embarrassing moment of life !

you could see
it in her eyes
the night before
was lingering
into late morning
the pain of one
too many
bad choices
pounding
her young body
with each step
each burning
lungful of cold air

she passed me
on the footpath
while the city
screams
scratched
at her soul
&
bashed
bashed
bashed
at her brain

with her handbag
bigger than the dress
she had on
she was one
hell
of a mess

just another
party wreck...

A DOMESTIC STRUCTURED PROSE
Her cardigan on the chairback,
shoes left in the hall,slippers ‘neath
the double bed,undies on the stool.
Handbag filled with this and that,
bathroom shelved of creams and
much besides;wardrobes,wall to
wall.Medicines boxed arranged so neat,
cellphone ready for a call,a text,
a chat,a listening ear,empathy
for one,and all.


Listen to me read this structured prose verse on youtube under my pen name ichtyschiro...

I don't care for roses,
I don't want violets neither,
I'm easily pleased,
So please don't send me either.
I won't eat chocolates,
Perfume makes me sneeze,
Don't spend your money,
I'm begging you, please.
I won't wear jewellery,
I will refuse a new handbag,
Dressing up for a romantic meal,
Really is a drag.
You see I don't care for material things,
Valentine's Day's just humdrum,
I'm in this for one reason only,
That is of course, your cute bum....

if you're a tiger I'm an elephant
we may settle down on brevity.


fool's errand
you don't know where a lady's heart is.


you say kiss!!??
never in life
you must know the value of an aging cheese


nocturnal snakes
you must wear glasses


cats, snakes, birds of prey
pre-written in a mouse's DNA


spider spider silky shine
in your handbag Sweetie mine.


what'll happen
if i sleep with you and a mosquito gets pregnant?
