In the End

Visible to anyone in the world

If you're an old Viking,

Who can't afford a ship. 

Don't worry.

We'll all be washed out to sea in the end.

I went to the Doctor

Visible to anyone in the world

"Doctor", I said, "Tell me the worst." I waited.

"Vell" she began. Did I tell you she has a rather sexy German accent, a bit like Marlene Dietrich? Anyway, she does. Husky.

She went on, "It's never easy." It sounded bad but I tried to keep calm.

"You murst...", that's the way she talks, I'm not making it up.

"You murst cut down on sausages."

Apparently in Oregon qualifying seniors can get a discount at Dunkin' Donuts. What I want to know is, do you have to show an Oregon donut card?

I kept hearing this buzzing. I went to the Doctor, I said, "Is it tinnitus?" He said, "No, you've got hives."

For Springs

Visible to anyone in the world
Now is the time
When all our springs need a good clean

Especially if they are rusty
Or just playing dirty, as they do.

And if they look wound up
They might need watching

In case they uncoil
From the intoxication of being oiled.

And we must take good care
They aren't forcibly compressed

As spring washers, who over and over
See Time clean and unclean her bloodied paws.

Dear Auntie,

As I grow older I feel increasingly anxious. Should I worry about this?

It only took one barley sugar to get Gran going and then her warmth filled the room. That's what you find with confection eaters.

Bright Star Haiku

Edited by Richard Walker, Sunday 9 April 2017 at 22:40

When I felt those bright stars

They were so warm.

They glowed but they could only ask.

If another angel of intelligence

Could explain the strangeness of starriness.
