Retirement
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire
Stop working now
The boss was hopeless
Gave you no hope
The nine-to-five grind
Is over now
Retirement
Exit, exit excite
Up, up away
Banjo your mango
Man goes
Peddle your medal
On your salad day
Now is not the time
To join the navy
The prospects look good
And plum the perks are
Light up the shadows of your heart
The acceptable goodbyes are gone
Cunning and guile is over now
Your time hath come now
You have been on
The see-saw of redemption
And have seen
The trickery and deceit of
Those coconuts
The valor of the dastard
Made you suffer for your pound
And their illustrations of deception
Their myths of abstractions
In silence you could not reply
But be shut and sulk.
You were brave
Your time is art now
And no more tick tock
Go out with a bang
Before the haunted dark
Peachy life now
Sleeves are down
Your retirement eve
Grow rich, go rich and
Trump up your comfort.

Poem
Lionel Derbyshire
2 Whom it may
Concern
Numb I have suffered
And by God done I am
Lord..
So many characters
Too many teachers
Yell and try to tell
How to sauce
The spice of life
By virtue
Two are true
So boo woo
And I am just
A baby day old.
Two you fall in love
4 you will rue
They break your heart
In 25 pieces
And give you
Zero back.
It's the beginning
They four get
And it end's
Like 12th of never
Nevermind
Some were I source
Yes eyesore's they were
They endangered species
They remember
And blame you 33 times.
B 4 U
Put them on ice
Have a double
And tot with no trouble.
Now a triple
And equal them
To zero.
I once went to supper
We eight
The food was dumb
Their woman beautiful.
Even 11 is even
If you hush out 1
Now I am one
Goin solo
Not duo
First in line
Sho go away
Want to be alone
Whimper somewhere else.
Icy C the sea
It's my album.
I start my life
To count
Up to five.
I know the abc
A B C
It's incredible code.
I am no 123456789
Use the calculator
Electric arithmetic
One in a billion
Nor the first
I count on me' self
Digit fidget fiddle
The credit or debit
Switch don't twiddle
A stitch saves nine
Overdrafted with
NineTea six
Needles and pins
Arithmetic rhythm
Hum de wow
After 5 minutes
Hum de whaa.
Caught 22
You get it ...
Make that change
You with 007 figure ? ..
Copyright relax ..
Odd man very odd
You will be 66 and
Still outstanding gold.
Zero zero seven
I give you 10
from 10.
But I ..
A Adam
Eye for one
Be the first 1
In A billion.
2 Whom it may concern
So now you happy
You know me
Or You.

Lionel Derbyshire Poem
The Janitor
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire
He takes the wipe and aims
At the drip of urine
He looks and concentrates
With deep ambition to
Wipe it clean and dry.
He marches proudly up and down
And flushes clean what's left behind
He walks here and there
And wipes whenever he can
He keeps it clean.
His face is brutal humble
He does not grumble
It is no trouble
To clean a fumble.
His shoes is shining black
He is tidy neat
Tonight he will
Put food on the table.
And give thanks.
Thank you
Janitor
No one ever says.

Good morning
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire
Good morning
Daughter dearest
So far away..
In my morning tea
I see you
I am thinking ..
Where ever you are ..
Whatever are
You doing now ..
Our hearts are aching for you
We feel you near.
We love you with every tick tock ..
Have a wonderful uplifting day
Keep strong and know that
You have done us proud.
You.. our beautiful gallery
I have seen you grow
From pitter and patter ..
To crawl and walk
From trial and try
And brave became
From shy to shine
Now standing tall
On your own two feet
You smile I smile
Right on time
Tick tock
Sync..sync..
Our mind's link
Together we wink

Lionel Derbyshire Poem
The key's to life
The poem
Lionel Derbyshire
Too hell with pessimism...
I say
Let us sway away from end of life
And poem about life key's
We lookout for a prom
And see a sun ball
Up in the middle of sky
Vivid a gift of clouds
Puffed like white palaces
The mountain's they curl
Down to our rooftops
From our window cill's
In our street's they shrink
We peak through our windows
Hoping to see
The breath of life out there
This is not a website
This is daybreak.
Chorus
See...
The fields are full of green
The river's run full
The key's to life
It is truly GOD
It is only GOD
I'm running to.
I say friend..
Let us not stay in with despair
Come out of your concrete home
Friend and comprehend
These key's to life ..
Compassion, clemency, kindness, mercy, grace..
Keeps on coming
Key's which drives the soul.
These key's so free.
There is a sea out there which prepares
Dinner for us to eat
And fields filled with pudding fruit
There are apricots
Delicious apple's grows on the tree's
Surely a life sight to behold
This is not a website.
This is zoetic knowing
Let us not forbade the wind
And interupt it's gale
It's squall which swirls
Us from here to there
And the interest of light
High above the moon
Makes us not to collide
In bang or crash conive
New horizon changing scenes
Coming soon in delight
This is not smart t.v.
This is possible.
Chorus
See...
The fields are full of green
The river's run full
The key's to life
It is truly GOD
It is only GOD
I'm running to.
Let us near
The fancy's of idea's
And omit the notions
Of the fool's
Who err clay for gold
Let it be our impulses
To buzz our desires
In beautiful places to be
Let us live this life
Holy, jolly and free
Key's for all of mankind.
Let us shake hands ..
We are not extinct
This is not a website
This is not a keyboard.
Pictures of loved one's passed on
Adored on our walls
Their memory's are framed in our lives
During good times.
Chorus
See...
The fields are full of green
The river's run full
The key's to life
It is truly GOD
It is only GOD
I'm running to.
Overthere either there
In meadow or prairie
A bird key's a song
Calling us out there ..
Everywhere there be a
Visible key to life
To make us think
Or anywhere we live
These key's.. when
Sunset lays down
Sunrise steps up
It is truly GOD
It is only GOD
This is true.

Lionel Derbyshire Poem
Elation & Vacillation a comedy
A poem
Lionel Derbyshire
Every day I want to .. but I could not
Today I must do .. I have to
Yesterday I let it go away so today
I will not run dry, I will , I must
I have done my mirror practice
And I looked so good so here goes
Cannot wait another minute
Before I bleat myself with over worry
Must not become tense this is really it
Will not plummet , will not go down
Rise I am the centre of my universe
No need to annex my courage
The time has really come
Come on now, chin is up on high
My teeth is white, my smile is wide
My shoes are polished , my shirt is ironed
I am top class.
I m a getting there after I leave here
I will swing my arms when I get there
I will stand on my own two feet
I will sway and dance with joy
Confidently I have such high hopes
Singing now, no doubt about it
I ‘ll be over the moon when Sally says “YES”
So here goes …. Shelly will you marry me ??
Whack smack ! wrong girl …

Lionel Derbyshire Poem
Toffee
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire
Once upon a time
A Cape Town where they live
This windy place where it is cold
His name is Gwynne glee
Her name is Phyllis glow
A little shy was he
To ask on her
Her hand in love
She pride herself
And would not
Listen to his cry
She would not trip
Like biscuit on his catch
Little did she know that
On his lucky day
A windy blow came by
And combed her hair
In her eyes
And in orbit
She was falling down
With breath and length
Of hand he winged her up
On nearly hitting ground
Her first time smile
Glowed his face a while
In his pocket was a toffee
He handed her
Which let him smile
For a lifetime..
Little did she know
She would fall
For him.

Lionel Derbyshire Poem
Erotic Mystery
poem
Lionel Derbyshire
The morning smells like roses
The night is left behind.
Two bodys rolling over organs
Waiting and slithering close
There are no walls
To divide kisses
Hearts are erotic
Love is rage.
The ecstasy starts
Bodys grow stiff
Parts are pouting.
Honey flowing streaming
Fearing no caveats.
The morning smells like roses.
The sheets they slip
Sharp nails etch
Every blue vein in ire
Crying deep.
The lips rapture
The seduction myteriously.
The eyes are close
Hearts are pounding ,
Cupid is in loving brace
such like Eros in blythe
And Aphrodite just lushes about.
Or am I just ..
Swirling bordeaux.

My Garden
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire
My garden I want it best.
Rain makes it unforgettable.
Your memory there should last forever.
My garden should be a nice guy
Like the bosom of a lovely lass
I want to touch.
Sunflower formely seed ..
Oh sunflower yellow bright treat.
Eden I defy my jasmin is choicer
Lillys peeled and spread in ringent white
Agapanthus devoir and set in blues of wonder.
Roses colour bloom and ready to jab
All along the daffodils waiting to thrill.
Crimson carnations no regrets of love lost
Just a new flame in me and passion wise.
Strelitzia magnificent in a kaleidoscope of five.
Hyacinth by and large how high will you grow ?
My garden a mix bouquet of anniversarys
A showcase in celebration.
If my imagination behind these bars
Let me touch them .. once i was free.
Free to wander
How wonderful my garden ..
Free to ponder
Or nothing.
