Pushing and shoving my way about
Everyone screams and shouts
When my puck knocks his lights out.

The bells ring and feet patter across the floor
Someone knocks on the door
Paper fly and teachers scream 
Much to learn, much to see


Irish Love Blessing

In the fountain of our longing,
In the ache that is our core,
May we see each our hearts belonging,
When it knocks on our front door.

Here I stand on shaking ground
The lion pounces,
knocks me down
Up from the ground
I stand, and then
the lion knocks me down again.

Dreaming of a romance rose
Soft melodic hums.

or even barred

what is left ajar
an intruder knocks
seeing it not blocked
and steals my heart away

Math is tough.
It plays rough -
take's no guff,
calls your bluff,
grabs your scruff.
Had enough?
It clocks you,
knocks you
On your duff.

Canopy of Pain

sunshine fades away
chaotic sullen whirlwind
ink jar knocks over
bleary heart in disorder 
canopy of pain pours rain.

he labored in school of hard knocks.
Getting them to tick
was a simple trick.
But they wouldn't produce any tocks.

the tiny duck with quite a quack,
an ear shattering YAK, YAK, YAK,
he rarely makes a peep,
until you are asleep,
then that quack knocks you out of the sack
