It should come as no big suprise
That Algebra, with all its Xs and Ys
Along with its tasteless inedible PIs
Is the cause of many students demise
...
In the very very topsy-turvy world
Straight lines are elliptically curled
Way above is found below
Jungles covered up with snow
...
I wonder whatever became of such and such
It’s too many years since we’ve all been in touch
In our youthful naivety we were innocently un-clever
Assuming our ‘then’ would be our ‘now’ and ‘then’ forever
...
Though very much surprised
It really doesn’t irk me
That my outlook’s been apprised
As being one that’s quirky
...
In the Kingdom of animal royalty
Where cats and dogs would reign
There’d be no sign of cruelty
Nothing inhumane
...
Orphaned children
Hungry
Scavenging
Lost
...
I wish I could dream up a meta-phor or five
To keep my poems more poetically alive
I will always be known as the poet who's hacking
If I continue to write poems metaphorically lacking
...
For just that one Moment
I was what I used to be
Playfully perched on my father's knee
...
As he lay on his back
This lady polecat
Gave him no slack
As atop him she sat
...
