Contacting The Spirits: Tanka

CONTACTING THE SPIRITS

She’s passed away now
She never liked him to drink
With loss came freedom
She sees though he may be drunk
He still sends her a bug hig

Meanwhile

MEANWHILE

Perhaps best assume
This is as good as it gets
For how would we know?

Postprandial Pals

POSTPRANDIAL PALS

When the curtain falls
Those acting opponents
Clean off all the pancake
And repair to the pub

Nothing To Sneeze At

NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT

My wife complained one day
At my sneezing with such gusto
I explained to her that it sprang
From my realisation that a sneeze
Is the respiratory system equivalent
Of an orgasm and therefore it is best
To simply just let go and fully enjoy it
She said I must be the only person who
Could manage to complicate a sneeze

Realisation And Mindfulness (17b)

REALISATION AND MINDFULNESS

Returning
To the computer
In a flash
Realised
A moment of mindfulness
Left glasses upstairs

The Easy Way Out: Four By Six

THE EASY WAY OUT

Self-sufficiency’s all
Well and good but when one
Includes masturbation
Now that’s a bit extreme

Staying Alert

1: ALERT

“Come quickly,” mummy.
“There’s a man at the door with
a bill.” Her reply?

2: DISTRACTED

“Don’t be silly, son.
It’s probably just a duck
who’s wearing a hat.”

Practise What You Preach

A college professor of English sent the following to his students, who were training to become writers:

“Before releasing anything you produce into the world make sure that you carefully smell check it first.”

Sneaking Senility

SNEAKING SENILITY

I didn’t forget
To do it but I forgot
That I had done it

Overreach

OVERREACH

A single hand clap
Intended to rouse the world
Just startled the cat
