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
...

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? ! !
...

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
...

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
...

I can not draw a straight line
It's really quite perplexing
This straight shortcoming of mine
Is artistic-al-ly vexing
...
