Sidi Mahtrow Poems

There on the main road outside Trinidad
Is a restaurant looking sort of sad,
It's Lilia and John's place
Open for meals at a workman's price.
...

Old Dan and Ralph had been there before
They and the crowd knew what was in store.
When the announcer gave their name
The applause acknowledged their claim to fame.
...

Lie quietly
Imagine your hand moving slowly
Palm up, open, fingers extended
Can you sense the pleasure of touch
...

Now all you sinners come this way
Feel the distress as you pass the day.
How is it, we all ask,
'That taking peas is no easy task? '
...

Sphinx was a monster that would eat
Whatever stranger she could get:
Unless his ready with disclos’d
The subtle Riddle she propos’d.
...

Blubber abounds
In this retirement town.
Usually there's a cushion around
The buttock where it's generously found
...

As you walk along
There's something in the air
That doesn't quite belong
It wasn't there before
...

Gasket discovered that at
Stocking Opening Time
Around the Christmas tree,
There was something for everyone,
...

Some thought she was a stray
That had come for scraps along the way
That might be left from the lunch
Of the post office staff; a kindly bunch.
...

Those of the higher order
Have been quick to add to the disorder
Surrounding the poorly worded stance
Of the Nobel Prize Winner of Science
...
