SCATTERED SHORTS

A Collection Of Shorts

                               ORANGE

            (CAT, DECEASED, 2010)

        I don’t care much for nature

       She don’t care much for me

       I can be alone with a person

       I can be alone with a tree

 

I am imperfect

And so is my lover

We both need the world and each other

I love his hair, his lips,

his gentle caress

and I shall have nothing less.

 

                

                  Tea

                                       

                                        Some might have it milky

                                        Some might have it sweet

                                        Some like it luke warm

                                        Some prefer it weak

 

                                       Some take it with lemon

                                       Some drink it alone

                                       Some like it really hot

                                       Others prefer it strong

 

                                       But if you made me a cuppa today

                                       I would unreservedly say, 

 

                             “Ooh, lovely that’s made my blinking day”!

 

  A thought for You

Is it true that you who grew

from baby to man

has barely lived life

beyond an old pram?

                You never knew comfort,

                 affection or joy

                 You have never played

                 with a single toy

                                     Is it true that you

                                      at a tiny age

                                     were transferred from

                                     your pram to a cage…

                                     placed with others in

                                     a grim and cold orphanage?

                           It is true that you

                           who was abandoned at birth,

                           exists as you do,

                           on our planet earth.

 

The Unstable Dog

He sat on the grass

He scratched his arse

Paranoia,   Paranoia,   Paranoia

He growled with disgrace

He wrecked the whole place

Get a Lawyer, Get a Lawyer, Get a Lawyer

This is a fabulous and well done piece of work. I especially love the way you spaced
the different sections of the poesy and then gave the sections different titles. I do similar work and I am very much impressed with what you have created here. I am a fan of good writers and you are a great writer and I am fan of your work.
