(81) Nature Boy Poem by David S Dennis

(81) Nature Boy

Rating: 3.2


A busker on a unicycle
Dances with the birds
As teaming hordes of grey brained apes
Wend their way to work

He juggles socks to their delight
N couldn’t give a rats
If the price of oil is up or down
Or the wheat board has collapsed

And every now and then
I feel I’d like to be that fool
To bare my soul to nature
While the pigeons burble “cool”

Hmm, I've wished the same thing from time to time. Failing that, the sight of 'foolery' makes for the best moment in a day sometimes. '...teaming hordes of grey brained apes', apt description. I'd rather live in a hovel than sell my soul to finance a McMansion. Lots of food for thought in this seeming piece of fluff. Esther : ]

Nature Boy has a real atmosphere to it and a strong sense of rebellion. Top marks. Patrick
