Arse
Disaster by the pool
as a last minute change
in sun-bed selection
causes mild outrage
I should never have moved
to this fresh position
for I’ve a fresh juicy orange
crushed-over-arse condition
Now I look like I’ve shat it
and the hotel rep laughs
for every brave new step
has it running down my calves
Carpet of Stars
Half an hour till closing
and all the power is cut
the darkness is absolute
the line of stars uncut
A wonderful carpet of stars
above my head and the ocean
as far as the eye can see
always still, always in motion
Irksome
The rich, the elite
the top one percentThe wine glasses are on the opposite side of the room
to where the wine is stored
the soup spoons are nowhere near
where the soup is poured
The butter is in the cabinet farthest from
where the rolls are stored
and the milk is as far from the cereals
as could possibly be hoard
This is a common theme
and it irks me somewhat
I find it irksome
it makes me fraught
to have to walk
so far to butter
a roll for my soup
in disgust I mutter
