THE OUTER-SPACE RIDER
We're worlds within a world.
Let each not collide.
The very populace
overcrowds my space.
Should I take a starship ride ?!

THE-DRAGON-LIKE-
CREATURED-GALAXIES ?
The prehistoric-monsters
and monsters of our seas.
Men who are monsters.
Monsters in other galaxies ?

THE HUGE SNAIL HORNS
On the horns of a dilemma
that dampens like a giant snail,
every cloud's a silver lining
and this giant leaves a silvery trail.

DARK DEEDS AT THE
DEAD OF NIGHT
It's the White House
on Saltburn Lane
smuggler John Andrew
was to gain.
Master of foxhounds
he became.

But off to prison
was taken he,
king of smugglers
on Saltburn's sea.
No White House then
for Lord Darkly.

SPRINGING UPWARD
There was a pond-fountain
by the Valley-Garden,
stocked with goldfish
when we were children.

They were larger days then.
Are we down the mountain ?
Gone are the goldfish
and also the pond-fountain.

SALTBURN SEAFRONT
What happened to the boating lake
across from summertime's Fair ?
They broke the dam, a river again
there's no boating there.

What happened to summertime's Fair
across from the boating lake ?
It could not now break even.
No Fair when summer goes wake.

OVEN-COOKED LOVERS
She is his older woman.
He is her younger man.
You can see he is tied
to the strings of her apron.
Oh boy, does she cook !
Turn on the kitchen fan.

FREE ANCIENT WISDOM FIND
The Greeks granted that genius
was each man's individuality.
There are dimwits enjoy being
enslaved by non-democracy.

OTHERNESS
Superior in some things,
in some things inferior.
Perhaps that balances out
all things in one another ?

But is it not a mistake
to say there's neither -ior,
and that we are all equal
other than under the law ?

THE SURROUNDING
SIAMESE SIGHTS
So up we both went
on the Buddha Hill.
The view we took
was, girl, to thrill
the heart and soul,
enliven the mind.
We yin and yang
in a globe-round-bind.

ADOLPH HITLER
Far Right ? Far Right ?!
Let it not be missed
Adolph held racial-spite
but was a national-socialist !

A-FAMILIAR-FAMILY-AFFAIR
Here comes the bride
in her white gown,
though the groom
has got a frown.

Her father seems
to have the hump.
Her mother curses
her daughter's bump.

That's how it goes
with families today.
They're so familiar
with the-family-way !

THE WHIRLWIND ROMANCE
Dashing Indiana Jones
jumped Lara Croft's bones.
He could whip up a storm.
She liked him to explore,
was hot for more and more.
A whirlwind sure was born !

SAUCY SEEKER
She looks for dirty words
so she can complain ?
Oh what a filthy mind !
Yes such a mucky brain !
