Fives and Sevens

Hangman

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 18:23:54 GMT

Failing at hangman,
You had better drop the leash,
Worry about the noose.

Carlin

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 16:22:46 GMT

When old cynics die,
The world is in dire need of,
A new modern man.

Scones

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 08:40:17 GMT

God was invited,
Tea parties in the backyard,
For brewed leaves and scones.

Repetition

Fri, 13 Jun 2008 14:58:16 GMT

Are we all creatures,
Hopelessly attacking at,
Just repetition.

Play

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 16:26:00 GMT

Gather your squabble,
Call on all your gods and dieties,
It is time to play.

Nigger's Song

Fri, 30 May 2008 14:27:24 GMT

Tied to whipping posts,
When you hear this nigger's song,
Pick bales of cotton.

Debt

Thu, 29 May 2008 08:20:03 GMT

Before the books close,
We owe death a debt of life,
Which has to be paid

Bored

Thu, 22 May 2008 09:14:30 GMT

Bored down into earth,
Planting skulls in the soil,
So we may reap brains.

Boy

Fri, 16 May 2008 14:38:18 GMT

Once I used to be,
I used to be a little boy,
So old in my shoes.

Boxes

Wed, 14 May 2008 12:07:01 GMT

When the sun shines through,
There's no photosynthesis,
Only growing boxes.

Peon

Mon, 12 May 2008 07:46:34 GMT

In the good old days,
No peons and worker grunts,
Sat in cubicles.

End

Sun, 11 May 2008 12:37:57 GMT

Man has its way,
I am only just waiting,
For the end of days.

Sunshine

Fri, 09 May 2008 18:47:20 GMT

The sun does not shine,
Anymore, even when it is day,
I don't even try.

Book

Wed, 07 May 2008 14:15:51 GMT

Looking for a page,
In the lonely book of age,
To read, fall asleep.

Waiting

Mon, 05 May 2008 17:27:20 GMT

For when the muse leaves,
There are no more absolutes,
Other than waiting.

Oxygen

Sun, 04 May 2008 15:21:43 GMT

Transcend oxygen,
Exist in rare atmosphere,
Waiting to exhale.

Lost

Fri, 02 May 2008 14:57:08 GMT

You wait at the docks,
Catch the last ship out of shore,
Live lost out at sea.

Before working hard,
Go make faces at the sun,
Find out if that works?

A young boy's talents,
Are but smoking and spitting,
Both do serve him well.

Becoming

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 14:51:27 GMT

Running round the park,
Playing the part of the fool,
Doesn't become children.

Older

As we grow older,
We all forget the business,
Of how to be kids.

Phone

Across the playground,
All business is conducted,
On the tin can phone.

Across the playground,
You and me talk secretly,
On the tin can phone.
