POCKET VERSE

Memory Loss
I keep forgetting what I’m all about;

I think I was about to meditate:

That’s why I’m on my knees with open book

About to seek a transcendental state

Wherein I’ll find that all is really all,

And politics another word for hate!


Awake

Simon barked, so off I go,

Each precious second not to waste;

The little dog seems not to know

The meaning between love and haste.

Pisces the Fish,

A tasty dish,

If you could find

Celestial spice

With lemon rind,

And heavenly rice!

The problem with Simon is treatment;

For his ailments there’s no real cure.

He lives between love and destruction,

The destruction we continually defer.

With only his front legs working,

He slides from our bed where he sleeps;

When no one comes from his barking,

He crawls—thus playing for keeps!

Simon on the bed for the moment!  Playing for keeps!

Simon on the bed for the moment!
