My Buddy Tom
I've got a friend.
He's a little strange
'cause I found him in the pages of a diary
that I found in my stacks.
Ain't gotta pretend.
I tell him all my
hopes and dreams and of the lightening bolt
that makes me lose track of the days.
I'm amazed--
so patient, so kind.
My buddy Tom keeps all my secrets for me;
He keeps me calm when I'm too foggy to see;
When I'm depressed and lonely, he's my company.
This school is so darn big for a red little Weasley.
I told him the tale
of how I...

The Kama Sutra has a guide
to how to get yourself inside
the woman you would make love to.

yet may be a revelation
to those new to copulation

My Book is as Cheap as Amazon Will Allow - here’s why...
All around the world things are tight.
So now I’m taking the least profits
Allowed for my mini-paperback
comedy
And that’s that!

not a gentleman, I'm afraid
I would go to the pub in the
middle of the afternoon to read
a book, or a paper, since not belonging
to any particular club ..

Sundogs and Rivet Heads
The bookshelf is littered with bearded heathens
wolves who once prowled the earth
writhing with intent
with fish breath
with doubt
their decadent features
leather worn from thought
from illusion
from cravings
The Sundogs and Rivet Heads
divine psalms once remembered
long burned out by love
by hope
by indulgence
lives on to warm
the only corner of the room
where the mice won't hide.

a bibliophile's lock down
the old bloke has been
cooped up in his room above
the second hand
bookshop since march,
his only visitor his
daughter, who once a week brings
him food. but if you could ask him how
he is he'd say,
fine, I still have plenty to read ..
