Mandolins & Pangolins Poem by John Sensele

Mandolins & Pangolins



Mandolins and pangolins in our romance bloom
As we plunge and lunge into fast heartbeats
Excitement, anticipation, procrastination and sometimes a dose of gloom
When reality check snaps us back to steep incline defeats.

Mandolins and pangolins at our workplaces shoot up
As we swim in waters of complacency and plain sailing,
Finger pointing, career sailing, nail biting and our cup
Bubbles over with mirth when in our works spanners come crushing.

Mandolins and pangolins in our faith lurk
In the background as our pilgrimage on Earth cruises
At a sedate pace and we befriend a Turk
When Brexit erects a barrier and suddenly our faith licks unexpected bruises.

Mandolins and pangolins in our leisure pursuit sneak
Crack our EPL soccer prognostics when Leicester in 2015 tore up the book form
Shot to the top and we stuck out our neck
When an Earthquake snapped the complacent bottom of Rome.
