Skin Tone Words:
white and black are far apart
but pale shades into dark.
History is more about egos than heroes.
The Miser
forgoes the pleasure of spending money
for the satisfaction of seeing it grow.
Neatness is a tempting siren
distracting from more important tasks.
BEST FRIENDS
You're never alone
with a mobile phone
MEN IN SHORTS
When less than forty
it's nice to look sporty.
Once well past forty
they crave to look sporty.
Reality isn't always what it seems
when haunted by the deja vu of dreams.
We think we choose the chores to do
but sometimes they jump out and ambush you.
Every day I work the fields and walk the hills
and every evening peer over the edge of the cliff.
Communist? Fascist? Doesn't matter
as long as he keeps to stay dictator
Growing flowers on an allotment
seems to me an admission of failure
Now that my hair has gone quite curly
I've grown a moustache to look less girly
Democracy is a great idea spoiled
by the vanity of politicians.
