The Label Maker

Posted on by

“Labels, are for bottles and containers, not people” Gun Roswell

Hey you with your label maker!
You like tagging people don’t ya, you faker!
You went right by me and took one look
Stuck this sticker on my forehead without a single hook
I am having a hard time getting it off
Did you think it would make a great perma-label on this spot?

But guess what, you nut
I washed my face with potent soap in a rut
With a huff and a puff
My forehead finally crystal clear and clean again
Luckily without the use of acid rain
And nothing of it sticking to my brain

No amount of glue
Will keep the sticker on my face
Your plan went sadly askew
Or were you just in the wrong place
Memorize this lesson
Into your big fat head
Go find some cans for making the impression
And label some of them instead

“I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself,
than be crowded on a velvet cushion”
Henry David Thoreau

Crowded

Two is a company
Three is huge a crowd
Four is just lucky
Five or more is very loud

Feeling crowded
Sometimes compounded
Oh for crying out loud
This really is a crowd!

“What is one to say about June, the time of perfect young summer,
the fulfillment of the promise of the earlier months,
and with as yet no sign to remind one that its fresh young beauty will ever fade”
Gertrude Jekyll

Lazy Days

Sunshine and lazy days
Warmth resting, on my face
Time going, at a slower pace
Hoping, summer, forever stays

Even, if it’s just a window view
Or a perfect image, someone drew
Still, this picture, may just come true
And then, I’ll wear my summer shoes

“Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong”
Winston Churchill

Solitary

One solitary flower
Still had the power
To grow
Against the odds
Between a rock
And the hard place

“Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong”
Winston Churchill

Solitary

Sitting pretty
Feeling gritty
In the middle of the city
The tiny yellow flower
That could

“Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong”
Winston Churchill

Solitary

A solitary sun
Lighting up the blue sky
A solitary tree
Growing in the back yard
A solitary leaf
Turning green
With the other solitary leaves

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!

“Sweet April showers do spring May flowers”
Thomas Tusser

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!

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
