Richard Nixon was quite slick
Most just called him tricky dick
But it was in Watergate
that he did participate
Ford pardoned him very quick
A genuine soul
Whose pen is so bright
A master of words
Whatever his write
Always a cool cat
Always polite
Cheers! To you brother
My friend...love & light
WHATS GOING ON
are we all aware
of whats going on
the poles are melting
but for how long
could this year be
our final swansong
does anybody know
of whats going on
Today we celebrate
Sammy the Seaman
who caught enough
to overfill his big net.
It's truly amazing that
he fed every family
from one single catch
which we'll never forget.

time for breakfast!
The game of chess
truly bores me
Enough time between moves
for a dip in the sea
There's one more game
that drives me up trees
Time it with a calendar
Its name ~ 'Monopoly'
Is it crazy to throw
These dreams I hold
Inside my heart, eternally,
Into the ocean's mold..
Then to hope one day,
As my days grow old,
They'd wash into the same
Breaking waves I watch unfold?
Everyone laughs
at Jerry's crude jokes
He's a regular guy
a bar-tending bloke
But never ever joke
that his mum's soon to croak
Jerry's fists will soon find you
~ You won't be saved by the bell
The failings of leaders
Not taking into account
The needs of the people
Apart from their very own
They live in splendour
With steaks for dinner
Soft pillows to rest on
The people, skin and bone
Stop and look at the
trees in the wind look
how they sway back and forth
greeting all they meet.
Their leaves are so
beautiful that they catch
your very eye while the
willows bow at your feet.
Flying South
Flying down south
to get into the sun.
Thinking of water
and beaches and fun.
The warmth of the sunshine
will warm my whole soul.
Spending my time with you
is my main goal.
I’m really amazed by
Romeo the great lover
who boasted his greatness
of loving my friend Tess.
Oh, Gee! How hard it is
for him to display his trademark
of love, for her
in the presence of his wife.
Noodles Noodleman knew
The cookbook through and through
Noodles Noodleman knew
He must teach Sally too
Alas, Sally withdrew
Cooking she could not do
She then began to brood –
What could poor Noodles do…?
When Adam and Eve
Set up house down in Eden
With do-it-yourself
They had no time for breedin
Expansion was slow
Hardly bothered to try
But took off when Eve baked up
That first apple pie

ONE FINE DAY
~~~~ * ~~~~
one fine day
middle of the morrow
two lovers fell out
had a quarrel
O their sadness
O their sorrow
Kissed, made up
Babies followed
He seemed quite shy
did Sammy the Spy
Yet his reticence masked
a mind calculating, sly
When but a wee lad
Sammy uncovered the facts of life --
Picking his folks' bedroom lock
He gawked, then gasped, 'Oh, my!'
THE GREEDY BROWN RAT
~~~~~~~~~~~~
the greedy brown rat
was becoming obese
from stealing
food off our table
blasé he became
fearless no fright
he had a surprise
a trap, now he's a fable
Leonardo The Loyal,
Slow silence lowering but
Who where we to know,
Flowing and pouring, pouring
Purple and royal his chin,
As crochet vines, looming
luxuriously, pennys as payment
Selling everything, the black agent
She loved the skylark
And she loved the grub
She didn't love me
Therein lie the rub
I penned her sonnet
On scented paper
She set it aflame -
Vanished in vapor

McWhirtle me is what I read
Another contest sublime
Curdle of knee is rarely fed
The icy hot heat in time.
McWhirtle me is what I saw.
A contest that made me look up
McWhirtle now I think I know.
It might be my kind of cup.
Hot apple cider
Cinnamon savors
Gingerbread houses
Sugar and spice neighbors
Peppermint cocoa
Sugarplum favors
Gifting my tastebuds
With Christmastime flavors

I stand in great awe of
Yiorgos the Philanthropist
who in public shared cheerfully
his wealth for the needy.
Oh, what a hypocrisy
It’s unbelievingly hard for him
to give the wages of his good maid
in return, of her long service.
Squirrels in trees
foraging for nuts.
Raiding bird feeders,
filling their huts.
Fat gray ones seen,
moving in struts.
Loudly chattering,
with twitching butts!

She flirted with me,
this lady so fair
She left with a smile,
Seductive her stare
I saw her one day
So golden her hair
I walked towards her -
Her husband was there
