When A Politician Named Matt
When a politician named Matt
Maintained he never said that,
And they showed him the proof
He said, “I always tell the truth,

When A Young Lady Whose Name Is Fay
When a young lady whose name is Fay
Wore a short dress one hot summer’s day,
A vicar called Heart,
Who loved his art

A Tree Grows
A tree grows
It’s branches entwining
With another tree,
Forming a canopy
Under which pass

I enjoyed lots of spice,
Which was more than nice,
But that’s enough about that young lady Kate!

ASSISTED SUICIDE # TRIGGER WARNING
This is a powerful poem. Whatever your views are on “assisted suicide”, I recommend reading Lorraine’s post. I am torn on the issue. As a liberal (with a small) I feel, in the final analysis that it is not the job of the state, society, the family (or anyone else) to tell (or pressure) another human being into taking what is, quite literally, a life and death decision. But, when a person is in extreme pain and wishes to die, I am not sure that I have the right to deny that “release” to the on...
Thoughts In A Graveyard
For now, I hear
Vehicles passing near
This place of bone
And stone,
And will spend a little time
