boohs and cheers

number 5 has been benched

he woke up grumpy this morning

do allow me to say

our party is worthy of your trust

it’s open to others’ ideas

to the extent that

it’s alternative

it refuses any trade-offs

ouch, we’re under pressure

Freud and sex

it’s all a big cesspool

it will be overcrowded

if we go to the beach this summer

just money and lots of love

and we'll live with the fear that they might rob us of our silverware

it’s more a work of prose than a poem

where are you? Don’t you love me anymore?

where are you? I want thee

Only thee, where are you? 8

lottery with a 300-million prize

while some people are idle

others get stuck in a null play at checkers

I get a joker in my card game

but I see a lot of people

who don’t even have running water

and have nothing at all

but who’s listening to me..

but who’s listening to me

so then, my love, I love you

how beautiful you are

you’re worth six of them

I’d swear to it

but she’s better

how beautiful you are

how beautiful she is

she’s worth six of them

I’d swear to it

you’re better

how beautiful you are

I’M SICK OF YOU
