In the Moment

In the moment
'tis but a second
A fleeting glimpse
an eyelid's blink
In a jiffy
Nothing flash
The twinkling of an eye
What do you think?


Dead In a Jiffy

Under cover lay they
And in the blink of a jiffy
Fled death from lethal nozzles
And within that jiffy
Like stones
Lay all that lived lifeless.

Limerick: A hundred years ago, nay, fifty

A hundred years ago, nay, fifty
Who dared prod the female anatomy
Now men ride rough shod
On toll-free wide road
Ere steam-roller dries tar in a jiffy!

Breakfast

Can you choose whether to
Have bread or pancakes for breakfast?
Or organic oats, cereals and milk?
Is a fruit needed on the plate?
Can the items on the plate make a rainbow?
Every exciting morning with the same decisions to make.
Select the best from them and gobble them in a jiffy.

Waiting

Six pairs of socks 
Sits on the shelf
Knitted as a gift
Made in a jiffy
Six pairs of socks 
Sits on the shelf
Autumn colors
Newborn’s size
Six pairs of socks 
Sits on the shelf
Bound together
With a red string
Six pairs of socks 
Sits on the shelf
Waiting 
Waiting; for 
Ten little toes
Two small feet

Premium Member Fire and Water

the fire hydrant comes handy
first and fore most it saves lives
but to walk a dog in the city
it's a place of choice
better than the lamp post
and a tree we leave alone

as on a leash I am directed
to do my business in a jiffy
and always a piece of paper
as it degrade and never a plastic bag
to reach the next garbage can
she is so crazy but I love her

Double Cheater

Never will I fall flat again,
She stole my heart in a jiffy,
For I was blinded by her pain,
Not aware that all was~fizzy,
How can love be so mean and cruel?,
Though no engagement in verbal duel.

Viper on wicked dual mission,
My account was emptied swiftly,
coupled with my true emotion,
Gullible and fooled easily
I parted with my good treasure,
which is priceless and full of pleasure.

The Power of Renunciation

a strange like feeling
unknown so far,
pierced through me,
with hollowness
of the years, in true.

yet, the life as such,
in a jiffy, gone and flew
that I lived alone
as one in the crew.

its flavour tastier
and rhythm smoother,
when a new shoot
of renunciation grew.

the real happiness,
as I felt, in the detachment 
and the stark joy in the fullest,
that was only for me and a few.

Peace dividends - 2

And I’d end Ukraine war in a jiffy,
It’s just that my idea’s somewhat iffy.
The natural resources
Are not for battle courses,
‘If you feel not so ill
Of it, let’s have a deal:
You give me your rare-earth
To you of little worth,
And I’ll, every weapon
You so depend upon,
It’s fair deal, there’s nothing what so sniffy.

In a jiffy

Ye might be feather light, lean or leafy, 
You scarce can a spot kiss in a jiffy, 
Till a bird be of flight 
That flies faster than light, 
Jiffy is a birdie a bit iffy.

The Lost You

i found, i felt and i lost
in a way that kept me incomplete. 
its presence was like a shooting star 
beautiful, blazing and impeccable
but vanished in a jiffy
like it was mine just to see
but never to belong to. 
i look for it every night 
in the darkest corner of heavens
in the brightest brilliant specks of light.
i run in hysterics 
chasing the infinite void
just to find you smiling
in the shedded teardrops
of my hopeless heart.

Premium Member Blue Ferrari

The girl in the red dress was broke
She needed to earn some green from a rich bloke
She donned some white overalls and  got a job to paint
The bloke gave her some blue paint without complaint

She was given the job to paint the porch blue
And finished in a jiffy, too good to be true
The blue blood asked "How did you finish so fast"
What she said next made him see red as he gasped
But she said it quite clearly
"That's not a Porch its a Ferrari"

The Deserted Lane

A cold winter windy night
back from the last cinema show
the lane in sleeping mode
wearing the walls of brick and mortar
like a woolly blanket

The Northwind blowing in through gaps
like water gushing out of a large pipe mouth
hitting the closed window glasses
not looking at the eyes of street dogs
snuggling along the sidewalk 

To reach my flat in a jiffy
in the housing society
the waiting bed and double quilt
slipping into and closing eyes
my world now topsy-turvy

Animal Antics

Freddie the goat was as wide as a boat
His hair was long, tangled and whiffy
He asked Maisie the cow could she help him right now
And she mooed she would in a jiffy

Joey the horse said with some force
My tail is also quite smelly
So Maisie mooed here I’ll make it real clear
I can also shave your big belly

Daisy the hen clucked from her pen
Could you take a look at my feathers?
Maisie then mooed you’re so very rude 
I do all three of you nitwits together
