Out of Jest

“I’ve got it! I’ve got it! The pellet with the poison’s in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! Right?
– No! The pellet with the poison’s in the flagon with the dragon! The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!”
– The Court Jester

Out of Jest

Surely, you understood, it was said in jest
After all, this is, what I do best
You see, if I am feeling really depressed
Or even a little stressed
I get very much obsessed
And start writing in rhyme
You know, that thing you can buy a dozen a dime?
But last time I looked, it’s not a crime
And so what, because it makes me feel damned fine
Maybe you too, should try!

Day in Spring

Secret Island

I am living
On a secret island
I just keep smiling
Thinking about
My tiny piece of land
No one can understand
Until they have landed
On this tiny
Place of sand
My land, my island

Day in Spring

Tall Buildings

Tall buildings
Without guildings
Climbing them thrilling
Living in them fullfilling
Working in them chilling
So, there is no winning!

Day in Spring

The Spring Blues

Singing, the spring blues
It got spilled, on my shiny new shoes
The weather? I don’t have any clues
I am just sitting here, singing, the spring blues

Day in Spring

Bike Ride in Spring

Go on a work strike
Grab the nearest bike
Take a long long hike

Spring time is here
Bet you thought it wasn’t very near
But have no fear
It’s time to cheer
And ride your bike with a leer!

Day in Spring

Spring Day

A sunny spring day
Nothing to it, just lay
In the pile of hay

Blue is the water
Be a sea otter
Dive into the sea
And be a water squatter

Today is the start of spring
It really begun on the bells’ ding
Now join the chorus and sing

“Oh sprint time
A merry time
I am feeling just fine
Now have some fun
Fun on a dime
It’s ok, it’s sprint time!”

Day in Spring

Odd Shiny Objects

Objet D’Arts?
Or someone’s idea of smart?
Maybe a design flaw?
Without any courtesy to law?

Objects useful and pretty
Chosen by one or a committee
No matter, they look just fine, see
As the pictures are proving thee

“It is not the honor that you take with you,
but the heritage you leave behind”
Branch Rickey

Heritage

Piles and piles of stones
In the church yard filled with bones
Resurrection on its way
To preserve a heritage on display

Heritage

A castle fit for a King or Queen
Light up on every eve
This heritage would impress even Steve
Check it out, before you leave

Heritage

One small
The other tall
Two from the past
Built to last
As our heritage
