MY CAT... (A LIMERICK)

DEEP IN THE FOREST...

DEEP IN THE FOREST WHERE CREATURES ROAM,

PROTECTED BY TREES AND THEIR CANOPY'S DOME,

IN MOONLIGHT THEY GATHER IN A CLEARING

AWAY FROM HUMANS AND OUT OF HEARING.

AND NOW THEY MAKE MUSIC, THEY CHIRP AND STOMP

WITH RUFFLED FEATHERS, IN COLOURFUL POMP,

ON TWO, FOUR AND MORE LEGS THEY SWAY IN RHYTHM,

WITH EYES HALF CLOSED IN MYSTICISM.

THE BEAT NOW SWELLS AND MELODY

PERVADES THE GROUND AND UP THE TREE

WHERE EVEN INSECTS UNDER BARK,

WITH LITTLE LEGS, DANCE IN THE DARK.

THE MOON IS SHINING DOWN SO BRIGHT;

EVERYTHING MOVES, SWAYS WITH DELIGHT,

WITH ALL THEIR WHISTLES, GRUNTS AND HONK,

IN RAPTURE THEY GO STOMP, STOMP, STOMP!

MY FLOWERS GROW IN BRIGHTEST HUE…..

MY FLOWERS GROW IN BRIGHTEST HUE

SWEET-SCENTING IN THE MORNING DEW,

WITH BEES THAT VISIT AND ENJOY THEIR OFF’RING

AND MOTHER BIRDS THAT GUIDE THEIR OFF-SPRING

THEY STALK AROUND AND SHOW THEIR CARE

AND POINT TO FOOD, THEIR CHICKEN’S FARE.

A GENTLE BREEZE KEEPS WAFTING THROUGH

SWAYS FLOWERS GENTLY TO AND FRO.

WITH MIND AND BODY GREATLY OVERWHELMED

A GRATEFUL PRAYER TO MY DEAR GOD IS HELD

FOR HIS CREATION, FOR FLOWERS SO BRIGHT

FOR CREATURES, ALL IN THE SUNNIEST LIGHT.

A BOY'S POEM

I WANT TO BE A DOG

OF ALL THE CREATURES YOU CAN SEE

A DOG IS ALL I WANT TO BE;

I WOULD BE STRONG AND LIKE A KNIGHT

PROTECT FROM ANYTHING IN SIGHT

MY DEAREST HUMAN FAMILY.

IT CERTAINLY GOES WITHOUT SAYING

THAT I JOIN ALL THE CHILDREN’S PLAYING

AND LICK AND SNUGGLE UP AT NIGHT

TOGETHER, EVERYTHING IS RIGHT,

NEVER IN MY DOGHOUSE STAYING.

I WOULD BE KIND AND UNDERSTANDING

AND NEVER OVERLY DEMANDING,

MAKE SURE MY HUMANS STAY TOGETHER,

AS LOVING FAMILY, FOREVER,

WITH MY CARING NEVER-ENDING.

FREEDOM…..

FREEDOM IS WHEN BELLS ARE RINGING

ACROSS THE LAND AND OUT TO SEA

AND HAPPY PEOPLE GATHER SINGING

FOR EVERMORE WE’LL HAPPY BE!

TYRANNY IS WHEN PEOPLE SIGHING

WISTFUL YEARNING TO BE FREE,

WHEN IN FEAR AND DEATH DEFYING

THEY TRY TO BREATHE AND NOT TO SEE.

FREEDOM IS WHEN PAST DEFEATED,

PEOPLE CHEER AND LIVE AGAIN

IN PUBLIC PLACES, STANDING, SEATED

ALL CELEBRATING FREEDOM’S GAIN!

POLITICIANS....

A special position is held by the pollies

who are trying to hide from us their follies.

Rorting the system, in parliament missing,

their mistresses in secret kissing,

with promises in vagueness uttered

and when found out, excuses muttered,

but when the voters feel neglected,

these pollies won’t get re-elected!

THEY SAY IT'S IN MY OWN INTEREST.....

Synthesised voices and piped music alone,

They seem to fill now the telephone.

Lines are listened into by someone – who knows?

Big brother is watching,

that clearly shows.

They say it’s in my own interest…..

Speed cameras and infrared beams

Observe all my driving, it seems.

Did I incur an infringement,

In my morning mail it is sent.

They say it’s in my own interest…..

Phoneing for service I’m greeted

By a person at an overseas switchboard seated,

Assisting me with efficiency,

Courtesy and alarcrity.

They say it’s in my own interest…..
