Short Sheik Poems

King size prawn cocktail hors d'oeuvre
Duchesse potatoes
Crown roasted ribs of mutton
Balmoral tarlets
Mint imperials
Bourbon bakes

After Amal-Ahmed-al-Sadah 
took a bullet meant for Sheik Osama’s 
head; said wife number five: 
“He’s gotta stay alive 
to watch TV in his pajamas.”...

Should a Sheik seek a shave
Who'd shave a Sheik,
Sheik shavers should surely
So Sheik shavers Sheiks seek.

Puckered lips
 gentle peck upon the cheek
 a red dress so sheik,
lean in close
 whisper softly in my ear
 hold back the pleasantry,
hug me tight
 in sensual delight
 it's me and you baby,
kiss me once, kiss me twice
 oh, now that's very nice
 the kiss to build a dream on....

Richer than a platinum mountain,
more wealthy than a Sheik

The words I’m gifted lie bejeweled,
a fortune by their weight

No King or Titan, Earl endowed,
could match my treasured chest

Each word an ingot, phrase a bar
—my verse the Lord’s bequest

Purple lilac bloom scents in spring
Purple wild flowers summer brings
Purple butterflies’ fluttering wings
Purple finches’ chorus they joyfully sing

Purple black raspberry ice cream treats
Purple colored hair highlighted in streaks 
Purple printed scarves that look so sheik  
Purple grapes that taste juicy and sweet

Tender me a kiss
 a brush of lips upon my cheek
 gentle, loving, fragile wish, sheik
 to set my soul afire, soft and weak.
Whisper love and comfort, joy and peace
 to right this world so that war and hate will cease.

Tender me a kiss, some long goodbye
 when all I sense and feel would make me cry
 but hidden safe within the confines,
 hope continues to abide.
In your hurry dispel all fears and worries compromising
 tender me a kiss, anticipation waits on the horizon....
