A flower's petals
uncurling in the sunshine
I'll have the nectar.

You said you grew, love
uncurled for me, exclusive
to be my sunshine.

What could be greater
than the very thought of it,
just spilling over?

Warfare

Language, religion,
poverty, greed
are the causes
of many an
inhuman deed.

Trickle, pickle fiddlestick
tickles thick the lim-e-rick.
Brick to kick
wick to lick,
Menshevik with carrotstick.

Twas The First One, Ruthie!

Of all the things that happened there
there's one I do remember
far sweeter than a French éclair,
the first was in September.

In a cage at Saskatchewan Zoo
lived a cranky old cockatoo,
he was talking all day
and had something to say
to the resident kangaroo.

On the raft there was Huckleberry
on that day he was udderly merry.
As a bit of a pig
he was fond of the big
momma mias of Lady Sherrie.

When a gangster named Al Capone
was walking in Brooklyn alone,
he was carrying heavy
when away from his Chevy
but he needed a mobile phone.

A girl by the name of Sonja
asked me 'do you have them on ya'
wants to see every poem
is just dying to know 'em
she is travelling to Estonia.
