Knock-on

KNOCK-ON

The poor children
The poor children

And their children

And could you
Turn up the heating
As you’re passing?

Time for a wash, a bath, a shower
Not too cold, not too hot, just right

The temperature in my room
Was not quite to my taste, thank you

Luckily I had them all at my fingertips
The air conditioning, the thermostat

Fresh bread lay before me
But I decided I’d prefer toast

I read and created inspiring verse
And scattered it across the globe

Whilst oil-stricken birds washed ashore
And polar bears swam until they died

Pale Reflection

PALE REFLECTION

Who dares not love the moon?
Only one who fails to appreciate
The fulsome fullness of the sun

“To This Day” Project

A friend sent me this, because she thought “all good poems seem to find their way to your blog eventually”. Hmmm, I’m afraid I should need to be a Methuselah to make that become true. 😛 Anyway, this is one of them that made it. I know it takes 7½ minutes to watch, but it is time well spent, I believe. I can think of several regular readers of “Ben Naga” who will love it.

He guns his motor
Adolescent tumescence
Pity his neighbours

Perhaps you have one in your neighbourhood too. Just trying to dissipate my irritation here. Apologies. 😉

Fish In A Fishbowl

FISH IN A BOWL

Hardly room to move
Unnatural way to live
But then look at us

Punishment fit for the crime
