Stanley Cooper Poems

A preventive war
A collosal blunder
We shocked and awed
Solving what, I wonder
...

Circular reason rarely
Results in conclusions fairly
When used it misguides
Too often provides
...

I have much reservation
About our earthy gravitation
That works so hard to keep us poor folk down
...

To stay away from doctors, a goal well worth my strive
Is the best way, I have figured out, to keep myself alive

To keep away from lawyers with all their legal fees
...

Tears can be fruits of frustration
Or out-pourings of joy
A show of human elation
Or an entrapment decoy
...

My favorite Italian main course
A narrow pasta linguini
In a clammy red or white sauce
That’s not too thick or too stringy
...

Great minds think alike, they say
When I put my thoughts on display
For all the world to see
No-one seems to think like me? ! !
...

Beautiful majestic
Wild horses
Roaming freely
Full of spirit
...

The world has changed in many ways
Keyboards instead of pencils
Yet I remember the “Good Old Days”
When we still drew with stencils
...

I’m an Octogenarian, would you believe
It’s a concept I find most hard to conceive
Since Methuselah made it, I think you’ll agree
If he could make it, then why not me
...
