Plant And Woman
You first
need to see
if you like.
After all,
you may not.
Only if you do,
if you really do
like the plant
can you really
really love it.
And a plant
will always reciprocate
being loved
if the love is
genuine.
And so will
a woman
who is truly loved.
Love is a reflection
out of eyes,
plant or human.
A reflection that is
caressing you.
That is the beauty
of love
and the miracle
of woman.

Playing Again
Imagine, if you will, this scene:
There's five foot fourish Mister Bean
announcing jokes for Halloween.
Now we all know he's hardly mean
but rather strange and always keen
to wear the look of Mr. Sheen
as fighting fit and rather lean.
This fellow somewhat entertains,
for which one needs no real brains.
He travels on those British planes
where Pommy pilots take the reins.
He goes to supersized great pains
to spend his loot (ill-gotten gains) ,
and never eats bread made from grains.

Playtime
Two geese flew over the cuckoo's nest
they saw that the cuckoos were not dressed.
They had covered the lot of the stolen eggs
with their feathered tuxedos and pantyhosed legs.
So the geese circled back and let fly from behind
green gooseshit dropped down and the cuckoos went blind.
Now you know what will happen if you sit on the loot
and discard all your clothing like two cockoos that root. ***
*** child version would be, after the word clothing: 'down to one little boot'

Please Consider
Dear God, forgive me, Sir I have not only sinned
I've lost my bible, maybe sold it at the sale,
I pray today because the label on these tinned
and Made In Norway small sardines do tell a tale.
Of course you know, dear God, what I've been into, right?
It is the reason I am calling you today.
Would you consider, is it possible you might
assign her body and her mind to me, I pray.
