Earth, 
Planet
Of carbon
Life forms; spins fast,
Three sixty five days
And half, a year.
Freely spins;
Happy 
Ball.

Fluidity

Fluidity is most natural for us,
As we are sixty percent water.
You are more water than you are human,
Don't be afraid to flow.

Youthful

I thought I was young 
Fifty-five then fifty six
Pass here sixty years 
I would rather enjoy youth 
Instead I'm counting my years

Nearing age sixty two 
Who would have ever knew

A Friend Who Is Recently Unemployed Spoke To Me the Other Day

Who will hire me
Now that I have reached sixty?
The rent is still due,
Though the things I need are few
Nothing in this world is free.

What Is Wrong

I take a step
My ankle’s broke
I turn my head
I have a stroke

What is wrong?
Asks my concerned mate
I’m old I’m fat.

Sixty Years Later

    America plagued by terror
      Murder and hate wherever you turn

    Country gone the way of Watts, ‘65

The Birthday's Mixed Blessing

The discounts are now quite a few
And cause for a feeling that's blue
It's true--what a drag
As the parts start to sag
A bonus for age sixty-two

Sixty seconds is all it takes,
Syntax the recipe and the brain bakes,
Cook up a poem, select Poetry mode,
Put pen to paper and churn out an ode.

Tomorrow

Six minutes until bedtime.

Another sour day of my life bled away

Sixty years until death-time,

Tomorrow is just the reincarnation of today.

Ugly Yellow Sly Cat Sits On a Roof

Ugly yellow sly cat sits on a roof
After sipping liquor sixty proof
we went on inside
So she could just hide
She disappeared instantly in a poof
