Part 2 (1/2)

Brave Voyage

Come, my Sweet Let us walk in the sleet (If you can keep your feet!)

Creep like a couple of snails Clinging to rails When all else fails.

Poets have sung of walking in rain, Or even snow . . .

Fain would I go in the sleet . . .

(If you can keep your feet!)

Ultimatum

Another blizzard and Well . . . I Warn Yuh I'm off like a streak To California!

Black Coffee

Smiling sweetly, respected trulls Drinking coffee from polished skulls.

A touch of a.r.s.enic, ”One lump, or two?”

And the cups go round with their deadly brew.

The Atomic Bomb is an awesome thing But so is woman . . .

Gossipping!

Sufficient Reason

I prost.i.tute my Art Because it's tactical; For starving in a garret Isn't practical!

His Mistress is Heard Singing

”I long to turn to you and say: Hullo my Darling. . .

How was your day”

What did you do And who did you meet And what was the 'to-do'

Down the street?”
