  1. Contrast

    A very happy day.
    A very lonely night.
    Trying to find a way.
    In need of shining light.

  2. Writings to my nephews

    These writings have achieved the goal I set while composing them. The goal is simple: make two boys laugh.

    Baluba

    Live knife
    Love life
    Eat lice
    Sleep ice
    Rich wipe
    Cream’n’tripe
    Jungle tech
    Bumble deck
    Piece of nougat
    Play a tuba
    You’re a baluba.

    Fry it up

    Roger the bum the son of a gun,
    A pick a flick, urrrrrrrgh that’s Limersick,
    Finger buried up to the knuckle,
    Like a bee in the pollen of a honey-suckle.
    Sometimes green or yellow or not,
    The greatest meal ever is deep-fried snot.

    A&E

    I apologise to Goran straight away,
    No sensible rhymes will come today.
    His name is awkward, somewhat obtuse,
    His face reminds me, of a plucked goose.
    My heart says no, my head says go on,
    Goran you’re a prize MO-RON.

    Alas Dr. Sun he is the weakest,
    He fell in the grass and hurt his wrist,
    I heard a feather fell on his head,
    He hit the deck and looked almost dead.
    You’d flatten that lad with a slice of bread,
    Or so the rabid monkey said.

    Enjoy A&E it’s a wonderful place,
    Ask them Sun to fix your face,
    And if they’ve some spare tape and gum,
    They might fix your older brother’s bum.

    Happy Birthday

    What a fun time with the boy who is nine,
    I think you sorta know the gist,
    The tale of the boy with the broken wrist,
    No cracks in bones were going to stop him,
    Throwing, running, even a swim.
    Well calling it a swim is rather generous,
    Less like a dolphin, more like a platypus,
    You’ll miss your Cúl Camp which is tough luck,
    I bet you wanted to shout out “F**K!”
    Ah well, drive on, it could be worse,
    Don’t resort to a simple curse.
    Think of all the jobs you can do,
    Like that thing and t’other thing too.
    Good night good night, Sleep well gentlemen,
    Tomorrow’s another day. I bit you adieu.

    Snorin’

    There was an auld lad named Goran,
    His interests I find very borin’
    His brain is like slush
    His face is like mush
    And he has a penchant for snorin’

    Poo

    There was a young man named Sun
    Who had a rather large bum
    His face was like stew
    His hair was like glue
    And his breath smelled like elephant poo.

  3. Endwise Seven

    Knees creak like great gates made fast.
    Weekly domestic bazaar trade cease.
    Embers orange blinking sleep at last.
    No light remains dark table peace.

    Recollect no pure faculty habit.
    Tarnished garment taunting abut.
    Never before now rudimentary facet.
    Humiliation and shame cannot chance it.

    Peace and heaving silence woven pact.
    Younglings wrapped up wardshipped.
    Elders lay in content cogitation.
    Doubts drowned up smothered.

  4. The Flesh Drum

    My fingers press keys
    My eyes see each one
    My ears hear each one
    My brain feels each one
    All to the rhythm of the flesh drum
