Jim Steinman

His “words hit the highway like a battering ram”
And “burn like the metal on the edge of a knife”
So “cold and lonely in the deep dark night” I am
“Crying icicles instead of tears” for his life

A Bliss Or a Bummer

There was a young man from Nantucket,
Whose logic for life was to duck it. 
Scoffed “ignorance is bliss”
Till the fates took a piss,
Now life’s gone to hell in a bucket.

A Pappy Ending

My neighbour friend? His life is through -
He bit off more than he could chew: 
His teenage daughter caused much grief -
Dropped out and got knocked up, in brief -
Dad lost his cool and spanked her! Twice! -
Recorded on a smart device. 
She called the cops and they drove him
Straight to the bad dad asylum.

The Scottish Play

There was a young Scots lass named Lilt Who wondered, “What’s under Mac’s kilt?” She asked him politely, He answered contritely, “It used to be braw but it’s wilt”. There was a young Scotsman named Vin, A wench tossed a coin with a grin. He hoisted his kilt, Said, "Keep yer wee gilt - I forgaw ma knickers agin!" March 8, 2021

Game of Life

Poor people posit that cupidity Is synonymous with stupidity, I argue the incessant zeal for more Is just a canny craving to keep score. June 24, 2022

Blank Slate

Tabula rasa, pristine way To start afresh each nascent day; Turn your back on toils and troubles, Spurn old struggles, burst their bubbles, Cast off shackles, unfurl your wings, Free the puppet, cut off all strings, Lighten the load, write off the weight, Embrace each dawn with a blank slate.

The Snake Charmer

He dresses in robes, carefully coiffed He enters the nave, mitre is doffed He preaches a tale, to eager sheep He fleeces their wool, his tithe to keep He blesses the flock, they’ve had their fill He slithers away, forked tongue now still January 1, 2022

Peter Piper's Preciosity

 Peter’s prestidigitator progeny perambulated peripatetically with prodigious prowess. Perhaps his  precocity precluded presumptuous perspicacity?

Narcissus

I think that I shall never see A poem near as nice as me. When I spy my own reflection Sultry suitors face rejection. Such noble brow, bright eyes flash blue My smile so suave, teeth twinkle too. Fine profile, Greek, ideal shot, Six pack of abs, my body’s hot. So long I’ll linger by this pool Though deemed one self-indulgent fool. A thousand years from now, you’ll see, Gardeners still will cherish me! March 1, 2022
