Give me a Uniform
Uniforms look crisp and smart
Designing them is a keen art
Police, FBI and police wear them
Most look manly, not the least fem
If I had one, I’d feel six foot tall
No one would call me “babe”or”doll”

The Plea
In dress uniform,
Was trained for combat,
Which could not compare,
With the task at hand.
Sitting on his knee,
His brown-eyed daughter,
Whose eyes filled with tears,
As she made her plea.
“Please, don’t go, Daddy,”
She cried, “Please don’t go.
I’m your little girl
And I love you so.”
Choking back his tears ,
Trying to be brave,
How could he explain,
What could not be said?
Right words

Afande She
She has a pretty face
She carries herself well
In uniform she is an iconic
Many so desire her moments
A detective she carries her gun well
When duty calls she flashes her smile
Its a smile i have see disarm many
She has no use for brute force
For her lovely essence nets all delinquents
I used to spy her long time ago

Uniform

dawn’s blatant bugle exhales
forcefully revoking sleep
recruits jump to feet
bounce a quarter off their sheets
commander shows no bias

The Wrong Uniform
The Uniform
I have a framed photo on my desk of three little boys
dressed in oversized German uniforms doing a nazi salute
A black, square box- camera, a picture was taken
in 1946. I was eight years old.
My uniform jacket reached below my knees like an over
an overcoat was roomy and warm and shielded me from
the cold

Queen Bess's Uniform
Queen Bess's Uniform
We didn’t want the frostbite
We didn’t want the burns
We didn’t want to leave our homes
And families far astern.
We didn’t like the future
As we grimly sailed away
But we wore Queen Bess’s Uniform
And did it anyway.
We didn’t want the battle
Or the bayonets at night
We didn’t want to lose our lives
In such a distant fight
We didn’t

Uniform Not Mufti
I hope you did Bernard inform
He should be there in uniform
Or else he is the Out - Of - Form,
Who shan't be housed in Lucas Dorm:
Forever A stranger to storm;
My prayer: that kids grab The Norm
Striving to not leave any torn,
So that their guides won't seem won.
Simple: Haters of uniform
We need to pointedly reform
Heads

School Uniform Palaver
The school child not in it clad
To end up ‘Not Glad’:
A sure vexing of his body with whip
And final nursing of an inflamed hip …
Also, a barbaric conversion into laborer
Which makes his Disciplinarian A torturer…
The school’s spear grasses to down mow
And her refuse dumps in trucks tow.
Still a freezing interview to face,
Interviewers’ final finding

He Wears a Blue Hot Uniform
On a hot spring afternoon, a wet postman
Hurries down the sidewalk home.
I catch him stepping on a new white iris,
And were I not alone, I would but
Scold him, but I would not, instead,
I wouldst hand him a cold coke for his dripping head,
Then pat him on his shoulder and pick up a dropped letter,
On this

Ode To My Daughter's School Uniform
Your uniform is like unto a sonnet
And you, a poem dressed in vest and skirt.
How peaceful are the eyes that rest upon it
Creative spirit framed in pressed white shirt.
As birds that soar the heights on freedom's wing
Require sturdy skeletons for strength,
The poet, though confined, writes words that sing,
Conformed to proper meter, rhyme, and length.
What landscapes

Peeing In Your Uniform
They say love is like peeing on your uniform
Everyone can see it but only you feel the warmth
It felt so good it did
When you were a kid
Nothing else mattered, not even your warts

Bear In Uniform
Bear in Uniform
You had wide shoulders,
and a scruffy face.
Your beard was soft,
and you had nice eyes.
I was not what you needed,
You were exactly right.
Saved me from ugly,
and evil.
Thank you.
What can I say,
that “we” were never meant to be?
Convenience, and friendship,
turned upside down.
Yet, a picture
