Here's today's post:

NEVER MIND

Pews discarded like an ancient church hall

more Pastors than an Italian menu

They sing the hymns and bang the tins

like Oscar Wilde in Reading Gaol


Sadly there's no room left for Easter

It's religious to celebrate they say

sacrilegious as church on Sunday

scoffing they disregard Christmas too


Never mind the weather the beer is cool

Where do you come from? England I tell them

They pour Red Horse litre after litre

until it comes out of my ears

World Poetry Day 2024

 

WORLD POETRY DAY 2024


METRO MOON

Did you hear the news?

If not you'll hear it soon

a Filipino space ship

has landed on the moon


The tricycles and Jeepney's

will follow very soon

from a villa in Manila

to a capsule on the moon


They're going to colonise it

cause more are coming soon

they'll plant a flag and claim it

and call it Metro Moon

Haikuish...

 

THE TREE

The brain of the tree

is in the grain of the bark

Spring green leaves fall brown
