mayday calm

mayday calm  (  a  p o e m  )

…





there is no panic, still there's time

it's early, blurry stirs the mind

as birds they sing in chirpy chimes

as curtains stir - up come them blinds


the water still flows in yon stream

as queens awaken from their dreams

& lambs bounce mad - they're full o' beans

i haven't heard a frantic scream


as morris men awake & yawn

then dress with bells upon this morn

those doom-merchants have yet to warn

of blah - blah - blah plus warring storms


i plod that path beside the barn

upon that hill wearing no charm

for luck i clutch air in my palm

which does the trick

it's mayday calm

...

what's funny about farms?

what's funny about about bones?

i grew up on a farm

was that a funny home?


my skeleton beneath

has never-ever spoke

let alone tickled folk

with a funny joke

oh to be a telephone

oh to be a telephone  (  a  s i g h  o f   a  p o e m  )

…




oh to be a telephone

pick us up & dial

aunties in antarctica?

i'll put in the miles

i'll carry your spoken tones

distance? - fret not - see?

cousins out on ganymede?

pah - that's well easy



oh to be a telephone

this would raise a smile

no prank calls or perverts please

nah - that aint my style

talk with ease - i'm dog & bone

relax, chat carefree

others may be listening

but that's beyond me
