Where I live there is no flooding dread
even though it’s an old river bed
for the influx of silt
through the centuries built
a nice island we live on instead.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy



Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers.

If you live on an island instead
of the higher ground, make sure your bed's
made of something that floats
'cause you'll need more than moats
for the flood that will come years ahead.

For the floods that will come years ahead
I just may or may not have the bread
to attach some pontoons;
hurricanes and monsoons
have to wait ‘till I’m out of the red.

Nothing waits 'til you're out of the red;
you had best learn to get out of bed
and get busy with work
doing things that you shirk
so you'll prosper until you are dead.

If you prosper until you are dead
someone else spends your money instead
and the fun you will miss
like your fortune, you’ll kiss
it all off like the girl that you wed.

If you kiss off the girl that you wed
then we wonder about what you said
when you married the lass;
were you being an ass?
Did you just want to get her in bed?

Did you just want to get her in bed?
That is nothing about what I said.
It was money you’d save
for a wife or a slave;
you can buy one from Abdul Ahkmed.

You bought camels from Abdul Ahkmed?
So his Camel-lot's where you had said
you began married life
with your double-humped wife,
whom you joined with for more than her bed?

When you’ve joined her in bed with far more
than just ardor, you know she’ll adore
the attention you bring
but make sure that you cling
to her tight; you’ll end up on the floor.

If cannoodling ends on the floor
you may not want to join anymore
with your wife in that bed;
take her skating instead
and discuss with her something hardcore.

You discuss something hardcore with her
long before it occurs; you’ll infer
it might enliven sex
even though it’s complex
but you better make sure she’ll concur.

Are you sure that you want her to conquer?
If she's too physical, you may bonk her
in the head with a pan
but not hard, so you can
settle down in the bed where you'll wonk her.

If you wonk her then settle in bed
with your pan as your sidekick instead
of the wife who will win
with her old rolling pin
which she’ll likely apply to your head.

If your head takes a whack from her pin
she used rolling out dough for your kin
then you've likely a knot
on your head where she caught
you while leaving with little chagrin.

Leaving you with a little, she grinned
when discovering that you had sinned
with the widow next door,
now she’ll let you explore
divorce papers her lawyer had penned.

Diverse papers her lawyer has scrawled
makes opponents quite honestly galled
when he takes them to court
where he'll always cavort
with their weaknesses 'till they have bawled.

They have bawled with their weakness until
someone tells them it might be a thrill
to get some exercise
while they’re drying their eyes
and if they’re still depressed, there’s a pill.

If you're taking a pill when depressed
you should do it before you get dressed
or you'll not take a shower
and you'll smell like a flower
that has died and now seems quite abscessed.

“That now seems quite abscessed and has died”,
said the dentist. “It can’t be denied
that your mouth needs some work
‘cause the brushing you shirk
has resulted in dentures applied.”

Take a look at the dents you've applied
to the sides of our auto,
he sighed.
When you open the door
it appears you ignore
all the things that are standing outside.
