John Davie Poems

There once was a Great Bear known as Tom
Broad Shouldered Feet Set & Strong
He could drink and then smoke, then sing deep from his throat
Then still beat any man from the throng
...

He turned out to be not as you thought
Of your soul you assumed he cared nought
Always argued the toss
Shouty unfriendly Boss
...

I tucked the sun into bed tonight
Read it a story and turned out the light
With one hand of mine and the hand of my son
We said goodnight and we passed the sun on
...

"Why do you just sit there and stare at me all the time? ! "
I asked of my friend, furry fluffy feline
Shock of my life, my small cat replied
Made me wonder if I am still Queen of the Pride
