The Quiet Conclusion to a Most Unfruitful Endeavor

The end is not quite here yet.

A certainty with which I would bet.

I don't know

Who would go

But someone might just fret.

Neighbour

Who is this stranger at my doorstep,

Busking beyond his heart's content?

Rhythms birthed in a foreign land,

That are too far away from home.

Who is this brother, whose misstep

Was to wander into too much rent?

A pocket endlessly leaking sand,

His bills make up the greatest tome.

Jump or my emo indulgence

It's quiet on a night like this.
The breeze is a gentle bliss.
The heights leave a kind kiss.
As the mind begins to reminisce
The ground is a hard target to miss.
It's quiet on a night like this.

Bells

Dawn! She's bright and early.
The carpet of creation gives
It's collective jawn. The story
Of a million ants, their lives
And deaths come together
To raise the triumphant groan
That won't be here forever
But for today pays of it's loan.

Apathy

The resounding start is slowly quieting down.
The big bang was one beautiful chord.
Men and animals dance at the great gown.
Forgetting it by the sword.

All creation is spontaneously bored.
Maturity is the great, ancient frown.
Maybe we missed that the lion roared,
And brought the lazy to town.

Argh!

She was left at the alter

He didn't find fault in her.

He was just a moron.

Couldn't cope with a son,

So had to go and run

Far away.

Fast forward five years.

She's dried up her tears

And walked next to a man

Who likes this boy

Even bought him a toy

Today.

The groom is dead-pan

He's lost even his latest fan.

She didn't think much of him

Loves the image of his grin.

He wonders who the bride

Might be having by her side

At bay.

You know how the story

Goes. He barges the homey

Life she has now, wanting

Her back. Simply self-serving

His own means and desires

Causing sparks in all her wires.

What dismay!

Limerick No.11

An old man once lived with a tick,
When saw someone pretty he'd be sick.
So when in a line
For lady's opine
It wasn't hard for them who not to pick.

Y to Z

Youngsters seem to understand
Zeal's show has been banned.

U to X

Underlings are a communist benefit,
Very unlike what Marx originally writ.
Wonderfully, all institutions seem to
X-ray their intentions, opposing them too.

Q to T

Quebec wasn't built in a day.
Rome doesn't hold the monopoly.
Sayings can sometimes deceive
Trying too hard to make you believe.
