DON'T  LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT
The Shadow knows -
or so, girl, it goes -
and your-own's-in-the-know.
'Young woman needs aid',
you're like-an-old-maid.
Just let your aged-secret go.
You are no virgin
but you need urging
not to play the prude.
The shadow knows -
or so, girl, it goes -
and your own is rude.

LONGEVITY VERSE
Gain eternal youth,
you may have to lie
should a girl give you
the glad eye.

Two hundred years old
and she twenty.
Oh you old rogue
with youth a-plenty !

WITHER NOT LADY ROSE
What a witch-woman !
Nose like a hook.
Warts and wild eyes,
deadly withering look.

What a witch-woman !
Beware rose-flower.
Wizened is envy
this witching hour.

A FAR-STAR INFLUENCE OR NOT
You do not think, girl,
astrology to be true,
but the starry-portrayals
are all around you.

PROFITING SPIRITUALLY ?
Arrive on a bicycle, yes,
leave with a chain of cars.
Find non-materialistic gurus
can damn sure go far !

TIME AND SPACE
There are those would
to the past return.
There are others would
books on the past burn.
There are those would, too,
for a far-off planet leave,
and others who live in
a world of make-believe.

A-GYPSY-MADAM'S-MESSAGE
FOR-MINOR-ME-FIND
As the gypsy-girl said
when I very young:
"You shall be a messenger
in the long-run."

Yes I'm the verse-poet
she said I would be.
I am the messenger
as said the girl-gypsy.
