Denis Martindale Poems

He wrote a million poems down,
They're on the Internet,
He was the bard who wore the crown,
The King we can't forget...
...

While I'm glad that I'm cold sober,
I'm smoking way too much,
So that's why I'll join Stoptober,
In fact, I mustn't budge!
...

The tiger cub sat on the ground
Ignored by all the rest,
As if he was now lost not found,
Unclaimed, not thought the best...
...

Distinguished though the leopard seemed,
He still recalled his past,
As if at rest, in thoughts he dreamed,
Yet knowing these can't last...
...

White tiger resting gently there,
Oasis-blessed, serene,
Beside the stream without a care,
A sight so rarely seen...
...

Two lion cubs were at it still!
They fought, both furious!
Each savouring the naughty thrill
To be victorious!
...

Of course, I knew it but a dream,
But none as seen before,
Such that it bordered on extreme,
Like none one should ignore...
...

Almighty God forgives Mankind!
That's what the Bible says!
That's what from Genesis we find,
That's why we pray our prayers...
...

A child will wander to and fro
In darkness all around,
Until one day he gets to know
A light switch can be found...
...

Prescriptions come, prescriptions go,
That's just the way it is,
Sometimes pills help if feeling low,
Sometimes they merely fizz...
...
