David Whalen Poems

A lovely young lady
was pounding and cursing
at my hotel room door
The other night
...

Proud eagles fly high
Oe’r land and sea
Upon majestic, wide wings tipped
...

I thought that I’d like
Having the “Midas Touch’

But in truth there’s
...

There’s two things I know
That creates smiles and warm glows:
Halos… and banjos! !
...

The genie is out of the bottle
Has stolen out into the night

Pandora's box is become unlocked
Things will ne'er again seem right
...

I keep a notepad
On the nightstand by my bed
To jot down thoughts
that late at night, fill my head
...

<center>Would you like to go with me?
Perhaps better not… to go!
I go into the woods at night you see
Neath Winter night's Moon glow
...

<center>I like to watch old people
And imagine how they were
In their youth
...

My diet's not working
It's easy to see
And my waist isn't
Getting any smaller
...
