TRIM ERIC TRI

TRIM ERIC 

Two longhaired lads went to the barber
The one with one ear showing was Eric
Yet some resentment he might harbour
If his haircut style was thought esoteric

The one with one ear showing was Eric
Just a trim he said, and not too short
A few snips here and there he thought

Yet some resentment he might harbour
If the haircut were to make it even
So he said I’ll wait, first do Steven

But Steve then pointed back to Eric
Do his, as classic short back and sides
Ensuring a central parting divides

Trim the Bushes

Trim the bushes
So that
It's not too high
Like hiding yourself inside a jail
Trim the bushes
So that
It's not too high
For love and help to rush in
In times of critical hours
Trim the bushes
So that
You can see
The bustle and rustle of your lovely neighbourhood

Leveling the Trim

I’m code-switching
On a stim 
Teeth, lips
Rubbing at the brim 
Austistic
Artistic
Linguistic
I’m standing on a whim
Rope in the wind
Punished 
By misunderstandings
Or landings
Failed 
While leveling the trim

The Return of the True Trim

They write me off when I'm down 
say it's my place to underachieve 
some say it to the point it's what I believe 
putting belief in me makes a rumbling sound 
fires deep down in me fire up breeding heat 
self doubt annoys me up out of my seat 
as the fury spreads new motive's found 
when my thoughts obsess over the grief 
and suddenly tricks pour from out my sleeve 
surging tech tonic energy gains ambitious growls 
shifting my focus positive with the air I breathe 
and down from the bottom the tension relieves 
thus propelling a catapult force up at the clouds 
and I morph from my written off rock bottom seed 
into a Superman circumnavigating the seas 
killing the silent shy recluse now shouting loud 

I may fall down, but I'm never out
and that means never, I love the doubt,
it's the start of the best I house, 
I love silencing doubting mouths

Krishna Creates

Krishna trims the hedges
an artist in heart, he shapes them
creates three tiers, the bottom one big
 the center small, the top one medium.
Fortunate to have him as my gardener.

I watch Krishna  from the  patio
He cuts  humming a hit song
of yester years
ammavum neeye , appavum neeye
 The same way the playback singer  sings,

The hedges turn lovely, each one 
depicting a pattern, The song flows 
 without any interruption. Krishna, is tired,
Rests for a while.

Wiping off the sweat, he looks 
at his work. Says  Sabash,
rises up to finish the remaining.
I gaze at him with wonder.

Krishna is almost the same age
 as I am. I complain of my worn 
out knees, and walk the barest minimum
 while he stands for hours  in the sun.

 Hard ways have made him strong, 
The comforts I enjoy have let me down.
Who is better off ? I ask myself.
It goes without saying.

Nicholas Nick Trim

People called "Nicholas" that actually use the whole word as their name, 
I bet they're not worth knowing. Issues clearly.

People that shorten it to "Nick", 
overlook the fact, 
it's literally a nasty sound, ick ick.

That's why I'm Trim, always Trim, or Trimmer,
Trim Trimmer,
chicken dipper rimmer.

Nameisms on Facebook make me a victim,
a pain inflicting victim Nick Trim.

So I say, stop the descrim against Trim,
allow one word names to begin.

no one ever knew what my first name was,
Facebook, understand it was on purpose,
I don't even respond to Nicholas 
and Nick is horrible to hear often,

Trim is slim fit and sexy, 
I'm dyslexic a git a dipsy,
currently crapulous and rather tipsy, 
I'm going now to fight the floor that hit me, 
vexed, me.

Trim Trimmer Chicken Dinner Winner

I don’t know tic tac toe
so I rhyme this with flow,
showing Nick Nac knows 
how to serve the perfect dose.

Measuring the rhymes
like I’m pleasuring the lines,
leisure for the minds
like I’m lemon and I’m lime,

1st and 2nd personalities 
pushed to share realities, 
combining combat and comebacks 
as I incompetently rap,

you’re ripping me now 
it’s a banter attack,
shyt but gripping somehow
as I pant and sound crap.

It’s another chicken dinner 
from Mr Trim Trimmer, 
not a rapper or a singer
but, a mother loving winner.

Trim the Rime

A poem can be left adrift
a deserted, floating wreck

Words wash over rails
on board, a slippery deck

Every poem I've ever written
helps me write the next

A gaggle of "lilliputian critics"
ensure I craft my text

True, I do the proofing
readers do the check

Wake Up

im tired of old wannabes, trying to diss a generation they will never be,
never see, Now the leader of these wannabes is one nick trim, particularly
 old and dim. the new generation is active and caring, loving, not easily scaring, and im tired of people, afraid, dissing us just because, they cant be easily missing us, and i want to make our voices heard, to stand up to an angry herd. 
noone i know actually cares about actual social media affairs, so face your fears.

Forgot To Say Just a Trim

Went for a haircut, forgot to say “a trim”
Nearly got scalped, ticked me off to the brim
Kids yelled wahoo
Big rocks I threw
Next time I'll tear 'em apart limb by limb

Don'T Over-Trim Your Nails

If you are wise, you will heed this call
And never over-trim your nails,
Or bite them raw til the pain makes you stop.

You should always leave enough nail showing,
In case you go over the edge of the cliff
And mabe a bit more if you keep misplacing the can opener,
Or if you have need to be on a window ledge.

You may not always have time to take off your gloves or socks,
So a nail or two poking through will do no harm.
If you have need to dig yourself out of a hole,
Your nails could be used in absence of a shovel or a pocket knife.

They could make you rich,
If you have nothing else to scratch your winiing prize ticket with.
Wild eyed beasts may back off, if they can see some length in your nails
And getting back your keys that you dropped down the grating may 
Depend on the length of your nails.

I hope you can now see some merrit in what I say,
And you will live to tell the tale of how 
Your fate rested solely on how much you trimmed off your nails.

Jim the Trim Returns, Not

(A limerick for Jack Ellison)


A surgeon was called to do operation,

as Jim's "little friends" need urgent attention.

His aspiring poetess wife

Scarlet yields a mean word knife;

To reduce sillyballs was her only intention.



*sillyballs? syllables! duh...

The Adventures of Jim the Trim - In An Islet

Jim, now rich, bought a wee li’l islet;
there he lived, with ten men and a starlet.
Changed his partner each day,
heaved and huffed till they say,
the islet is now, the town named Scarlet.





---------------------------------------------




The story's not over, he's not decadent.
Send away the men, he just simply can’t;
they built the town housing,
the roads and some building
for starlet Scarlet, whom the islet was meant.

The Adventures of Jim the Trim - Holiday Cruise

On Jim the Trim's cruise, in a luxury liner
He was asked to be frisked, what a stinger!
You see, the alarm went off
He was taken and 'cuffed
Wee metal marbles, found in his boxer.
