Paul Warren Poems

Working for the man every day
Getting up to the grind in every way
He stayed to the task for his family
As we remember him so easily
...

Cats are strange dudes
There are things they find rude
Like touching their tail
They will bite without fail
...

Evil thoughts are just electricity
That go off in your brain in time
They are the same are the good
But what makes them different
...

Do you like the green of the valleys
Or the dry red dusty plain

Do you like the auroras at the poles
...

Listening
Dancing
Swaying
Great sound
...

Bombing back after poisoning it's hard to believe
That people would do that to each other and so deceive
Is it sabre rattling between us in its highest degree
Or seeing a world in turmoil just wanting to be free
...

We unlocked the house with a creaking door
As the cobwebs blew across the dusty floor
It seemed as if no one had been inside
When it was closed by the family who didn't want to abide
...

What makes people laugh
Is it the absurdity of a gaff
Or a funny line said at the right time
Is it the freshness of something fine
...

The Japanese heavy industry took a battering
During the Second World War whilst they were fighting
So Japanese companies like Toyota went to the army
And requested Allied POWs to work in their factories
...

Sitting on a rock in the bush in the Flinders Ranges
With a billabong in front and a kookaburra singing
There are some wallabies slowly hopping as it isn't strange
And a wedge tail eagle is in a tree branch is at us staring
...
