Short Shirks Poems

Each girl came for looks
Each girl took some work
Each girl never meant much
Each girl left for shirks

Wonder what each would want
Wonder what each one got
Looking for looks to date
Caring which looks were not...

He who resents
      and blames the past for shaping him
      has not yet assumed fair control
of his own destiny;

he who shirks burdens
      of responsibility for his own acts
      has not yet passed the true test
of real maturity;

he who accepts
      that he's a hapless victim of circumstance
      is indeed what he accepts

COPLA TREINTA Y SIETE: This Bad Guy World

When wrongdoing piles up on top
Bad Guys strut and yell out like hell:
Whose fault’s within

Withdrawal sloth makes the worst cop
Nature shirks to balance rights well:
Yang lets Yin win

Either abandon all to Dao
Or seize the seasons by the lock:
Life comes alive

Winter solstice arms the Yang’s bow
Zhen’s lightning thunder bolts spring shock:
Let Yang Guys thrive

MISS JULY

Vitamin-D shot —
Temperate, she’s not! 
She’s cool and she’s hot.
Miss July, her gold complexion shirks shade.

Possession of yacht —
Lease was a long shot.
Time reflects in knots —
The noctilucent cloud waves, sunlight sprayed.

Buds eternal thought:
Untrimmed moon garden sought.
At zenith, Vega spots
Delphinus the dolphin — East heaven played.

Sweet Grace married a guy from old Amory
He worked for the government gendarmerie
She was a postal clerk,
He was a total jerk
And they soon lived in Amory's armory.
written July 18, 2021

Sweet grace who's job title is postal clerk
Got married to a man she met at work
Although he's a jerk
She has made it work
At home she's boss, lord help him if he shirks./
