Hum Ditty Hum

Hum ditty hum 
Fathom my fumbling thumbs
My fat fingers were fiddling
A tune that was middling
Never a merrier man than me

Hugs

Hugs can be like mangoes
sometimes difficult to disengage.
Some are so worth the effort
others are just fair to middling.
Next, compare cling peaches.

Taste, Middling Mediocre

Words that do not speak to me
       Fine poetry may very well be

     My taste, middling mediocre
       No literary bona fides
     ~ This wild card's a joker

Bedroom divorce before of bride and groom

One bedroom for two seems old hat,
And some bat for the separate—
One far right meant for ‘she’,
And one far left for ‘he’,
Middling, if mood is made for that!

Living In a Big City

I live here in the city
   step on what was opened
   I pray for my longing
   my laugh that was released...

   people here ignore
   any gesture, of humanity
   spreads bitterness that demonstrates
   neither being able to have sanity....

   I live middling without socializing
   I live well or badly just for living...!

They Should Meet

A middling, one-eyed person,
yet one thinking she's sexy, 
seen cussing a too fast car 
in Carson City.

A one-eyed, middling person,
yet one thinking she's sexy, 
seen cussing a too slow car
in unknown city.

Waxing Nostalgic

     A middling pudding on the table
        flies hover in the livery stable 

    Mud-covered boots ascend to garrets 
        frowzy days London inherits     

    Dickensian scenes to rive your heart
        by urchins, street vendors torn apart  

    Yankees delight in their ‘good old days’
       Englishmen sniff the rot of decay

The Lacy Dress

she rises and floats 
in a lacy dress of white 
skirted by heavens own light 

soaked in morning thought  
the rainfall caresses   " life   "   
in creative fanfare time  

charcoal middling clouds 
singing songs, await her not 
she is happy as can be 

lofting in God's house  
as soft as angel whispers 
her voice carries me away

Middling Mild

Ducks are up in the air,
it is early - too much
a middling.
Nature lures,
leads us on,
the weather is wrong.

Icy licked stems
are surprised.

Defrosting ants and marmots
patch and mend,
loggers lean on buzz saws.

People take pause,
store bobble hats
and puffer jackets.

Today, to the contrary
the snow is heavy,

any hint of avian romance
is indefinitely delayed.

Balance Between Life's Extremes

Ah middle octave's musical note C,
Balancing left-right hands, a resting point,
And marked white all over the central key-
Piano players do as it appoint.
 And beginners' first lesson, middling joint ,
Watering hole for fingers to return,
To, a lesson of a lifetime to learn,
That life's opposites tend to dwell extreme,
A rudder that wont let life wide off turn,
Buddha's midpoint of poise rising like cream!

Rita and Peter and Sue Too

Let me tell you all about my friend Rita
She fell in love with a guy named Peter
He made his living as a panel beater
To Rita there wasn't a guy any sweeter 

So Rita and Peter went into town one day
Happened to meet Sue along the way 
Both of them asked if she was okay 
Fair to middling is what she did say 

Peter was a cheater and had a roving eye
If ladies were about he certainly wasn't shy
When Rita found out she started to cry 
All she could say was why Peter why

Ashburton School Memories and Lies

you gave me assuredity
you're more than a building
you're a memory
you conjured a spell
each teacher worthy fitting
quality in those days

Later I learned I was deemed opinionated
Jackie Letts in a School Reunion
a quarter of a century said so
I question the reliability of memory


Obviously we have a different account
I was a near to do
only one GCE
swimming in a sea of CSE's
in the middling classes
but I wasn't amongst the dyslexics
maybe I had been cured
like a herring
