Tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick…
The Emergency room wall clock
Taunts me, insults me
...
Yippee
To day I met Dracula’s minion with abandon
Margaret was her name
Blond, affable and up front
...
Irony is
having blood withdrawn
Every morning
For further tests
...
My grandma said Ghosts do exist
And that they live in the vastness of space
A conduit between the two worlds
...
Is my most treasured possession
Given to me two years ago
By my son James for my 49th birthday
With it I can keep in touch with the world
...
I dread the annual visit
That my mother schedules for me
A day or two after my birthday
On the 20th of November each year
...
When Egyptian men whisper
Of the great leaders of the past
None whisper of Tutankhamen
But he is remembered nevertheless
...
The Elephant
The Elephant is a magnificent beast
Whose existence will abruptly cease!
Unless we stop the slaughter
...
Christmas
Is the one
Day of The year
That I look forward to
...
I am a couch potato
But I would rather be known as
A supreme comfort seeker
Just like the Buddhist monks
...
