lost tribes
worlds away
shunning progress
living on yesterdays…
always
dragons
underground
bones long asleep
yesterdays overstay…
ever
Some people insist that I keep writing limericks
Don't want to overstay my welcome in this mix
So I'll write a few
But back off, phew!
Unless of course youse guys start throwing big bricks

A little squirrel sat down by me
his tail as bushy as can be
I spread some nuts in front of him
He rejected them with his forelimb
Wondering what he desired of me
I hummed an ancient melody
He hummed along, or so it seemed
Tapped his tail in time to my song
Soon enough, scampered he away
~ glad he did not overstay
When it is time for me to pass away
I’ll pack and leave; I dare not overstay.
But ere I drift out slowly with the tide
I’d wish to have my children by my side
To reassure them that we’ll meet again.
And when they saunter down memory lane
A treasure they will find within their mind,
Small pearls of wisdom which I left behind.

IT'S SO HARD TO KEEP UP WITH YOU, AND THINKING ABOUT YOU IS EXHAUSTING.
NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL YOU AND KNOWING THAT YOU'RE ALL ABOUT CHANGE AND SHOWING UP AT AN INOPPORTUNE TIME HAS BECOME A CUSTOM AND PART OF OUR RELATIONSHIP.
WHEN I WANT TO CAPTURE A MOMENT OF HAPPINESS, YOU GO, AND WHEN I'M HURTING, YOU OVERSTAY YOUR WELCOME.
I KNOW THAT LONG AFTER I'M GONE, YOU'LL STILL BE THERE, AND ALL I ASK IS FOR YOU TO SHOW MORE LOVE TO MY SON THAN YOU HAVE TO ME.
