Stanley Cooper Poems

We can make a difference, we like to believe
So we play their voting game
The political reality is we’re just naïve
Post-election, most things remain the same
...

Girls best friends, diamonds are
Besting men as friends by far
No man could conceivably approach
The luster of a diamond broach
...

Can’t express myself bilingually
In poetry or in speech
With my verbal singularity
Bilingual’s out of reach
...

With a rational admission
That our gas and oil emission
Is destructive to humanity
We might find a firm solution
...

“Change, ” a key-word in this presidential campaign
But change to what, they don’t explain
Change for better or for worse?
How will it affect the tax-payers purse?
...

The astronaut heading for outer space
Past the Man in the Moons sun-lit face
Won’t have time to give it a wink
He’ll be past the moon before he can blink
...

Between our ears it sits
Housing all our wits
The brain is so cranially important
We can only hope it’s not just lying dormant
...

I can’t for the life of me think about how
To explain the relative importance of now
Way way back when now was then
We never thought we’d have now again
...

To see beyond one’s nose
A talent sorely needed
To correctly pre-suppose
Knowledge unimpeded
...

I have this hair-girl fetish
For hair with color toned reddish
While blondes and brunettes I relish too
My fetish favors that reddish hue
...
