Odds and ends that got lost between the world and me.

Who Stole the Bananas?

monkey.cruelty experiment 218x300 Who Stole the Bananas?So confused, what’s this cage?
Without trees i become enraged
(eyes darting up and down)

So painful, as needle stings
Where’s the comfort of my mother
(banging body left and right)

So in fear, as the knife cuts,
my only friend called Anaesthetic
(life moved in…and then moved out).


 

Old & Tired

NEWSFLASH: Sweaty Dog is Freed!
old growing.old .is .not .for .sissies Old & Tired
Do you know where the prisoner is?
(Eyeshot by TV, shouting at the mind)
Do you know where the prison is?
(Done territory, boredom dined)

The old dog took a terror walk
lower than the sweaty Point,
lower than the rocks and whores;
all in all, to an awkward joint

“‘Til death do us part” met its match
when he smiled and lost his heart
to a wettened devil
in an unwagered game of catch

“Never mind” he said “for it was old
(and it’s high time I lost some weight)
My blood may run slower
but slugs don’t mind the cold

All I need is a tree to piss on
(to mark my grave),
a map and a flapping soul
towards rock ‘n roll and hedonism”

Do you know who the prisoner is?
(Judas views and weathered testament)
Do you read reflections well?
(Petrol slickened for eager flint).

It’s a Hard Life (for a Cockroach)

cockroach 300x237 Its a Hard Life (for a Cockroach)
Scurrying back and forth,
let me estimate my worth
I don’t have a job
so around bins I skulk and rob
to eat enough to live
and the world my children give
It’s a hard existence
with the petty persistence
of the screaming woman
who gets the bar showman
to jump up and down
without a frown
and try to squash me
when I’m just
as beautiful as can be.

If you enjoyed this, try ‘Hurley Burley Whirlies’, my fun poem on sex and the scariness of love.

Ad Sexiest Women in Modern Rock Its a Hard Life (for a Cockroach)

Hurley Burlie Whirlies

I was drinking a beer
when she came along,
minding my own business
when my ding went dong
She said “I want a man like you”
With my brains in my balls,
i forgot to ask why
Instead, found myself by way of comply

Five days, ‘hundred times later,
i didn’t have a clue
when she dropped three bombs,
“I LOVE YOU!”
So i said “Woman, GET REAL”
My head invited my brain back
and i was out the door
A bottle of Jack’s later,
safely passed out on my floor

Love hurley birley mad whirlie words
You give me the hurley birley whirlies
with your love-mad words
Hurley birley whirlies with your mad-love words

One was standing on the corner
when i came her way,
reached for my wallet,
saying “It’s safer to pay”.

After an awful break-up, i had a rare day with humour (not chauvinism) which poked fun at relationships with this poem. If you found this funny, check out my short comedy about Georgie Bumwheel who gets drunk, dies and goes to heaven…and hell.
