CARS AND CARRIAGES AND
A WATER-CARRIER
Should cars drop from the sky
while on the roads we keep an eye,
will they fall like a bomb
killing the occupants and the ones
who haven't eyes atop their heads,
those in houses, and in their beds ?
Do we want to see many flying cars
block out the sun and the stars
as if pollution via our city-lights
does not block out our starry nights ?
Well yes, it is true, there are some do,
this may be the future for me and you.
But then we have to move along.
I live in tomorrow, I'm an Aquarian !
A PARTY PIECE
A Champagne Socialist
is the party's host.
To the novelist George Orwell
he lifts his glass in toast.
But he then falls over
as if pushed by Orwell's ghost.
Some are more equal than others.
Some do better than most.
A BURDENED BEAST
Yes the overtaxed workhorse.
It's Orwell's Animal Farm
tells us Caviar Communists
take the house, the rest the barn.
INSECT COLLECTIVES (AND
UPWARD) ARE NOT FOR ME
"Set me, set me,
set me free.
Give me, give me,
individuality,
the uniform
is not for me,"
sang a worker-ant
and worker-bee.
But hill and hive
their destiny.
