In the quietest kind of way,

he just got on with it.

He had a willing pair of hands,

and found no job too foreboding,

no task too demeaning.

From day one he was so easy

to train, and the obvious choice

to finish first, in the winning lane.

Try to find some beauty

in an ugly bluebottle fly.

It may be an ancient ancestor,

returning to earth for a second try.

 

 

 

 

Let’s be flexible,

and accepting of fools.

Let’s be pliable, and

break a few rules.

 

 

 

 

December, the month of recklessness,

with wild parties and permissible craic.

The reward for a year of slavery,

and relief from not getting the sack.

 

 

 

 

 

In a moment of rashness,

she touched a nerve,

and landed a cruel blow,

he didn’t deserve.

 

 

 

 

Why allow  empty vessels

to win out on the day.

By the time they become top cat,

their ideals will have blown away.

 

 Why  allow dreamers to

ever take ultimate charge.

They belong to the world,

and should remain at large.

so her story remained untold.

 

 

 

 

The art of ‘keeping it together’,

when those around them are

falling apart, is an attribute of

a mother, that makes mothers

so very smart.

 

 

 

 

He was a legend in his own

bath water.

He certainly made a splash.

He had a gold plated rubber duck,

to add a touch of panache.

 

 

 

 

Puppy dog eyes

Longing eyes

Eyes that say ‘I care’

 

Scornful eyes

Shifty eyes

Eyes that say ’beware’

 

Contact eyes

Piercing eyes

Eyes no longer a pair

 

Winking eyes

Undressing eyes

Eyes that lay the soul bare.
