A Choclate Lament
'Oh' busy me, busy me, busy me deep. So I can't see what Kraft will reep. The bottom line was never so sweet. Before they jumped in with both feet. The men with shares were just like sheep. They went and sold for too cheap. To that women from Kraft, she must be daft. She's taken our choc & put it in Hock. The goof choc market lies in his grave having lost to the great ... Read more

Spring
When spring is round the corner It makes me think - get things in order Watching buds push their way through the soil Making their way to daylight - is it much of a toil? I know that I would find it so Like going through winter, full of snow Not very nice, cold as ice, no sun, just moon Hope spring comes soon Is that how the flowers think? A race to the top, last one stinks! No, they all seem to... Read more

Oh Wonderland Continued
Tho years have passed since last I penned - of Shangri-La and such, the magic still is in my heart, tho things have changed so much. My love and I no longer share the life we had before, But still we care, and strangely yet, we seem to, love much more. Absence makes the heart grown fonder - and I for one believe Tho many times we are apart we have no cause to grieve, 'Cause children such ... Read more

On Wonderland
You say you like my poems, Sue, - of love and waterfalls! Of Fairy Queens, and spider's webs, to change a life that palls.

They fly from here on wings of love, to bring you peace of heart, To take you into fairyland, to prove (though we're apart) We'r... Read more

To my wife Susan
The Exposition of my God, on the altar of my church, Called to my heart this morning, and so I went in search Of peace of soul that only He, can give to those who knock, And as I knelt, in empty church, my heart I did unlock, To give hi thanks and praise, for all the many things that He, Has given to this worthless man, to set his spirit free. The silence and the candlelight, the Monstrance s... Read more

Can I?
Can I stay up late tonight? Can I be allowed to fight? Can I please have Kit-Kat? Can I whack brother with a bat? Or if not with a crater? Can I do my homework later? Can I not go to school today?

It will be the same eastern or western The same old answer always is (Id get it in any quiz) Always i... Read more

Fantasy
We're free to dream of joys we'd share-of things we'd like to do Of waterfalls-and forests green, where I could bathe with you, Our Bodies closed our arms entwined; we'd share such heavenly bliss Away from all our cares and woes-we'd revel in each kiss The only eyes to share to share our joy-(and they would not mind) Would be the creatures of the woods, the elves and fairi...
