Poet Introduction
I have always loved words and would never use them as weapons.I have no great skill but that is of no consequence as long as readers find meaning or solace or guidance in my musings.

I do
A marriage made in heaven requires God to be the celebrant.
That line is just to get your interest.
Now
Can two words containing three letters seriously unwind millions of years of evolution?
No
Procreation not marriage is a biological imperative.If it weren't I might not be writing this,you might not be reading this.

No
Sex not marriage is critical to our wellbeing and survival.It is why we hunger for it.It is why lust...

You're dead to me Google
The moon exploded
Stars fell from the sky
Obsessed with ourselves
We asked Google why?
Hey Google
What's happening in the night sky
Is the earth being attacked
Are we all going to die?
The last words Google ever said were
Is that correct ....you want a pie?

Dogs and Phones
Two things caught my attention today on my morning walk.
One:
There was a woman pushing a stroller along with a dog in it.I hope the dog was incapacitated in some way and not adopting our human tendency towards indolence.Dogs will soon be flying first class and the owners in the cargo hold.
Two:
There was a young mother pushing a stroller along with a toddler in it.The toddler had in his tiny hands a mobile phone.I hope that young mother was incapacitated in some way and not adopting our modern tendency to outsource parenting to big tech.Big tech will soon be...

A rose by any other name
At the Aldi's checkout today
I bent over to smell a bunch of roses
Capitalism had stolen their fragrance.
I mean, really, a rose without a scent.

Schrödingers Humans
Trapped inside this earthly box
filled with killer toxins
not even God can tell
what state we are in until
the box is opened.
Inside that box
we exist
dead and alive at the same time.

Mothers of pearls.
I shucked the oyster
Spreading the fleshy outer shell.
If there was a pearl in there
I coulld not yet tell.
You know you can discern a real pearl from a fake by rubbing it against your teeth.
With probing fingers and hungry lips
my jewellers mounth ready to appraise.
Her oyster hid the most magnificent pearl.
Spreading the fleshy outer shell.
If there was a pearl in there
I coulld not yet tell.
You know you can discern a real pearl from a fake by rubbing it against your teeth.
With probing fingers and hungry lips
my jewellers mounth ready to appraise.
Her oyster hid the most magnificent pearl.

That's it.
We die.
We cry.
We sigh.

Air Lingus
I had to smell her before I ate her.
I've always loved that sweet earthy smell.
It wasn't hard for her to tell.

It's dinner time
Hands are clasped in supplication
For the dying of a nation
Words are used ' in God we trust'
Decrees are signed by men unjust.
Somewhere is that God we trust
Who doesn't crave and doesn't lust
Let him now reveal his hand
Time is nigh for one last stand.
God it's time to draw the line
Clear this nation of the swine
Please don't kill them that's too good
Reduce them into poor man's food.
Then at least we'll get a feed
From all their lies and all their greed.
I've got my cutlery ready.
