Wait

Have I worn your smile
Once or twice
Like a fraud.

Hid in your alley.
Pissed up your
Walls?

I’ve fashioned some blues
With crimson
Or teal,

Laundered old money,
Edited
Reels,

Graffiti’d the right
Melodies,

…wasted
a few

if you must then just know

I’ll still have a
Million
Things to do.

(All the French horns
in the world
couldn’t keep me...)

…believe me…

optional ending: ...it's true.




(I'm not sure how much I'll care for such a hastily written poem in a minute or two, but I'm hoping an 'optional ending' might give me two chances of liking it.)

any preferences?

Not a post in its own right here from I, but a throwaway ditty that pleases me and may please you too, Moldovan Sir:

Scotmid Lunch

Had a Scotmid lunch
Under the raspberry sky,
Says I to the secretary,
Stick it on expenses;
Had a jug of wine
With a friend of mine
Under no false pretences,
It was a jug of wine,
It was joyous, damn fine
And poisonous good
With a mulberry sentiment
Under a Scotmid sky.
