Franz Shuberts fame has never diminished
For composing his symphony he never finished
Ergo
My fame and I won’t ever be parted
...
I ran along the dark-shored lake as
A magpie in a blue gum sang a mystic melody.
...
“Peace on earth
Good will towards men”
Heard almost since birth
Over and over again
...
On the outside looking in
Or the inside looking out
Not even on the learning fringe
Of what life is all about
...
Some poems I’ve written are nonsense-i-cal
But I’m not buffoonery smitten
I’ve written some most common sense-i-cal
Which are not as quite dimwit-ten
...
They looked under Saddam’s bed
No W-M-Ds found there
Searching overhead
The shelves there too were bare
...
They spend no time together
Yet they're relatively linked
These three birds of a feather
Who march through time in sync
...
When things are too abounding with ideas too astounding
I find them most confounding
I guess I’m not profound
...
One and one is two
Of that there is no doubt
We hold it to be true
Great minds have thunk it out
...
