Animal Shelter


Animal Shelter

The animal shelter is a place of many things with cats,
dogs and so much more.
Of three kittens and their mother abandoned in a box,
now given a home and plenty of love.
People come and see what pets are on offer,
the three tame goats and two large rabbits.
I’ll pick one of the dogs, all big, friendly and nice.
My fierce guard dog to fight and bight you when you try to rob my house.

POTATO PEELER


POTATO PEELER


I want to peel potatoes all day long.
I love peeling potatoes because of their lovely round shape
and their lovely little nodules. I like to feel the earthy texture
of their skin and I love to take a potato peeler to them.
Just to feel the knife bite through their skin and to reveal
the white flesh underneath.
There is such joy to behold in taking a bite
of an unpeeled potato. The feel of the earthy skin
on your tongue and those acidic juices running down your chin.
Such is heaven in my warped little head.





traffic warden poem UP THE BUM



UP THE BUM


we all know it, you all know it, the world thinks they know it.
what do they know? will you tell us or do i need night video
evidence filmed on infra red?
two hot blobs dressed as traffic wardens pumping
each other up the bum.
too shy to get caught in daylight, for their secret will be out,
gaylord kings of the night.
when not giving out tickets, it's up the bum! up the bum!
up the bum! up the bum!
i’ve never seen them at it but i’ve had a parking ticket,
if i offered to give it him up the bum, would he cancel it?
but i’m not that way inclined and i’ll never be a traffic warden.
for up the bum is their secret hobby, warm brothers to a man, send the birds
my way but i’ll laugh at the gayboy traffic wardens who take it up the bum!
so when you see one or two together,
spare a thought for their dirty kinky village people
up the bum actions, up the bum!

FADE INTO FOCUS, FOCUS INTO FADE old poems


CHOICE

Fate brought me into the world, Destiny moulded me, Chance brought me to places and Life made me who I am. I chose to become a certain person, to make decisions that affect me and other people, Sometimes I’m right, sometimes I’m wrong. I know my responsibility in the world, my world, to do my best and not to be one of the crowd. In effect, I have my choice to do it my way and I don’t take this for granted: it is my choice in my life.



VETERAN

Veteran of the ancient war, before my time, tell me, what was it like? I see pictures in the history books, black and white photographs. Did the enemy scream when you bayoneted them and cry for their mothers? Did you see your mates beg for mercy as their blood ran away from shattered legs? Now sixty years later I see you, frail and withered, lost in your memories as you wait to die and to join your comrades. You, a prisoner of old age, never of the enemy, in an old person’s home. You had your years and gave them to your country, boy made man on the battlefield, you live in the past, in battles and of foreign names and people long gone. For my generation’s freedom you fought, now a new world, one you can never know but we are truly grateful and freedom is ours, by an old man’s actions, young soldier in battle, sixty years ago.

BLACK MASS

My mind tumbles to the infinite depths, to rock bottom, the weight of the world crushing my world down. Feelings of being lost and alone at my world’s end. To myself I turn to ask the one question: Why do I feel like this? I have no answer, only silence and despair, bringing me down, a head full of confusing evil thoughts, to end this pain and to be free of this world. Would that be so wrong, to do that, the ultimate sin? I have so much to live for but that is hard to see now with my mind clouded, in deep despair.
