Stanley Cooper Poems

If we could move the months around at will
Let August put an end to winters chill
With Decembers April showers
We could shower all the flowers
...

When as a youngster, about eight years old
“You must learn responsibility”, I was told
So there I was, ready for work
But no eight year old kid could work as a clerk
...

I love to munch on berries
They are so berry delicious
I also crave red cherries
Both tasty and nutritious
...

General Petraeus may perform his job well
But his problem is, he’s told what to tell
By his Commander in Chief, the know-all Decider
Petraeus plays by the book, won’t be Bush’s derider
...

I'm filled with apprehension
Of political intention
At political conventions
Our Country's on a slippery slope
...

For those perceptively receptive
Innuendos can alter their perspective
A case in point is political analysis
Intent on brainy thought paralysis
...

Waterboarding
A Bush non-torture strategy
An American tragedy
...

The potted belly of my physique
Is not exactly what I’d call sleek
This massive waistline is an example
Of over expansion that’s more than ample
...

Is life really “just a bowl of cherries”?
Let’s consider all that’s not so merry

War in Afghanistan and Iraq
...

Politics…the art of deception
Dependent on misplaced perception
Where evil is good, where black is white
Fiction is truth, and most wrongs are right
...
