HAIR OF AMBER

 

  

Hair of Amber

Falls in curls

Over golden skin

In perfect complement

Like ripened corn

In a summer field

HE WANDERED THE STREETS

He wandered the streets

Clothed in tattered rags

And shod in scruffy boots

That didn’t keep out the rain

So he turned to crime

To fill his hollow belly

And then Victorian justice

Clothed him in a ball and chain

FRIEND’S FIRST, THEN SOUL MATES # 3

Friend’s first, then soul mates

Then we spoke of matrimony

Now our souls are intertwined

Since we joined in holy monotony

And cannot impress

The girls that I meet

As I gyrate like my shorts

Are full of live ants

But I do much better at

The dance with no pants

After the scandal of aid workers

And their relationships with prostitutes

They needed to be reminded it seems

That they were there for the destitute

PROVERBIAL PROVERBS # 1

 

The old saying goes that “A volunteer

Is worth Ten pressed men”

Well volunteers are all well and good

But a pressed man looks really sharp

MY GREAT UNCLE IS A SCIENTIST

 

My Great Uncle is a scientist

As well as a keen horticulturist

Which is quite evident to see

As he’s growing a chemistree
