Trish Lee was un- apologetically,
absolutely, completely,
foundationally, right most of the time.
She was basically,
categorically, mathematically,
able to tell time because her cuckoo clock chimed.
Hypothetically, analytically,
metaphorically, she understood the cuckoo clock
better than most.
Because scientifically,
comprehensively, she could shift-change
and enter the clock like a small wispy ghost.

Love is never perfect
people try their best
I remember Mum
with all her faults
written on her chest
she forever dressed me
in colours I detest
she loved to see her darling
dressed in clothes of pink
at times she would chastise me
for things I had not done
like tied up to the clothes line
I did not think was fun
Mothers are not perfect
yet try their best for you
she was ever helping
the people that she knew

Twerking secretly
Ruckus is heard
Immediately
Stripping for my
Husband
Laughing
Out loud with the
Underdogs
Is cool and
Sexy
Enough to be a hero

Trish n Joan
In life you sometimes do see,
A person almost identical, gee,
The funny laugh the little quirks,
One like the other smirks,
almost identically,
then one is drawn to the other,
Greenslopes hospital to die for one,
Age difference of a daughter and mother,
But strangers definetly seem to come,
One soul two people see,
Together, one set free,
Nursed by the other one,
She smiles at death and leaves,
Her alter ego grieves,
Remembers well this one,
I told the nurse that Joan had fish,
Goldfish in the swimming pool,
A loud voice in Trishs’ head,
“Said they’re Koi you bloody fool,”
a connection overruled,
Joan had the last word said,
Death aint no barrier, cool!!!

There once was a sweet lady named Trish.
Was a Mrs., but looked like a Miss.
So skillful and strong.
No task took her long.
She was done in a flick of your wrist.
While others were scratching their heads
And confused because of what was just said.
Her solution was right
Resulting from mental might.
Ever humble, she helped as a friend.

They found her body
And took it from the graveyard;
The rain washed her blood,
Cleansing the place of all signs -
But does her soul still linger?

There once was a diver called Trish,
Who met an enormous jewfish.
She was dwarfed by its head,
And then, drooling, she said,
‘I’d like to see you on my dish.’
* The goliath grouper is also known as the jewfish

Trish
Hairless legs and eyes of green
Bright red hair like a fire is seen
Bosom filling out her shirt
Make her jealous ?
Do not flirt
greeneyes flash
when she’s annoyed
lesser men have been destroyed
be alone at end of day
watching every word I say
hanging on me crucyifix
sent to Coventry with the hicks
