Short Spick Poems

Drunken are sailors
Three loose sheets in the 
wind
The fourth in the wind
The vessel spick-and-
span new
Moves in a uncontrolled 
way....

Dvornikov & Putin have a plan
To destroy every body they can
It is their thesis
That bits and pieces
Swept Syrian War Crimes spick-and-span...

Have you ever broomed,
your room,
removed the clutter,
and seen the room,
spick and span,
why don't you try,
the same,
with your mind,
broom it,
every now and then,
get the clutter out,
and with fresh clear voice,
give out a loud thoughtful shout....

Wash the dishes?
One wishes that
fishes had hands

Brush the doormat?
If the cat could
do that, would it?

I doubt the dog
cleans the bog, 'coz
the clog's still there

Takes a woman
and dust pan, spick
and span again.

My mind won't get in to gear
Memories come and go like a flash in
The old pan.
Neopolitan
My mom's favorite ice cream that's clear.
Shoot! I had something else it just 
Disappeared
Some thing about spick and span.
My mind won't get in to gear
Memories come and go like a flash in
The old pan.
Why won't it appear?
Mind scan
Brain is over ran
Time to change my atmosphere.
My mind won't get in to gear....

To take you in hand
or hold you here where you stand
the wind is your guide
as I salute you with pride
emblem spick and span
for I am a yorkshire man
together we hoe
tall in the fields hence I sow
in freedom we grow
arm in arm against the foe
for you are my flag
that soars over moor and crag
white rose I love you
on a background of sky blue.
