Danny Draper Poems

There once was a wizened old scouser
Who had a pair of newspaper trousers
They were crumpled to sag
Like a used paper bag
...

A morning early, feed both dog and cat
Time to watch cartoons on the empty lounge
Before Mum gets up and makes us breakfast
When school time comes we'll slow right down of course!
...

Dust settles on another argument
Parental imposition for own good
I look in on you on my way to bed, dissatisfied.
Eyes just open, defiant, seeming betrayed
...

An angry shout may not be heard, and
Not all good deeds are observed,
Glad is the learned, pure, heart
Ever loved, oft alone, you are
...

Not all rights are conferred and ratified in historical edicts;
they are inherent and inferred within the dignity of being human.
Housing may not be a right, but shelter is a basic necessity.
In a country with no minimum wage the poor should be preserved
...

Accretion of forgotten aeons 
warmly dancing,  spinning titlting 
 'round my mothers shining side,  
happily oblivious and healthy, with 
...

There lies a real imbalance barely seen
With destruction and creation unclean,
The energy between has no connect
Proportions physics truely disrespect.
...

There once was a man now departed
Who never finished what he

There was a young wag named Deeksie
Of whom friends did often speaksie,
The date of her birth came but once a year,
For which mates poured beers down their beaksie.
