Raymond Farrell Poems

The lawyer stood
In a long line
At the box office
Fidgetting, shifting from foot to foot
...

Well I remember
The harsh reality
That followed her diagnosis
The rapid decline in energy
...

In the beginning
Is outside the realm of science
Which does not
Deal in primordial causes
...

I did not move to Sodom
The Sodomites came to live near me
Moving in over the airways
By TV and radio
...

There is nothing
To be gained
By dressing
This pig up
...

Now that Spring
Has arrived in Zhejiang province
Every day after dinner
I sit under the locust tree
...

It is my fond hope
That someday
In the not too distant future
When the politicians
...

It's deep six for you
It's deep six for me
There's nothing we can do
That's the way it'll be.
...

The rich and titled
Are the stupidest of all classes
Who don't draw their own bath
Or wipe their own asses
...
