There were wild turkeys
on my way to work today
that’s why I was late

There’s many a slip
‘Twixt a cup and your two lips
No tears for spilled milk
One man and his cat
Off to visit ageing friend
Just across the road
Author’s note: Cat is Emmett McCafferty and he’s an excellent mouser!
We have Reps and Dems
Two political parties
At constant discord
On Mount Erebus
forty-one years have gone by.
Airplane crashed, lost friends.

Quietly showed to your seat
Flash light lit the way
