Are relatives of mine

Relative to us each

let me love you a little,
a little more than yesterday

Lonely Laxative

What did we do with lonely laxative; 
We would be giving it to a relative; 
Create a storm, 
In tablet form,  
And now a loose life he loves to live.

The room drains to sepia.
A long distant relative
     in a bowler hat,
smoking a pipe;
     strokes your dog.
The one
on the couch.

Relative to all creation
Universal in our understanding

What a Boar - Limerick Contest

There was a man with a shovel
Whose house was a relative hovel
Digs a hole in the floor
Think his dad was a boar
Cos he cant stop sniffing for truffle

A relative who used to be a good fit
Has evolved into something we must admit
Has a unique downside
Like a Jekyll and Hyde
Now if you give him a hand, it might get bit

On the Muzzle of the Cat- In My Bed Lying,

On the muzzle of the cat-  in my bed  lying,
When he  looked at me, appears a smile:-
"Although a distant - I'm  relative of a lion,
And you just an ape, as a science define."
