For Those Who Speak

NURSERY RHYMES

The Skin

The Skin: the Thing
With Someone in.
It's just the Dress
Of Consciousness.

A naked Soul
Is never whole:
So clean your Skin
And stay within.


Herring

Herring is a Fish:
Thank Lord, -
No one would wish
A salted bird.


A Naughty Child

I did not want to go to bed
And in the end I've gone too bad.


SITUATIONS

Situation

Before the bridge
To which I came
I met a horse
With no name.
And after that
I came across
And met a name
With no horse.


Situation II

I loved a cowboy, I had no joy
But everyday trouble with my cow boy.
And now, oh how, I want a boy cow.


I Walk To Work

I walk to work
But when I walk
I walk to walk,
Not walk to work


The Mood

I'm good when I am in the mood -
But only if the mood is good.


Still Young

I was told
I was too old.
But I wasn't so
Don't-know years ago.


The Sky

The sky
Above
Sometimes
Is enough


Translation

I asked an Electrician: why the heck
You're wearing a wire around your neck?
The Electrician did not say a word
Just slightly waved his boots from South to Nord.

(увы, Nord - не английский)


LIMEYS

Miss Jones, a well-known Polilingual,
Was also well-known as a Single.
"When got married, she said,
I would be not bad -
But I'm best in my Feminine Singular"


A young lady-driver from Quill
When asked "Will you buy a new wheel?"
Said: "Don't know if I want.
If I don't want I won't,
But I will if I feel like I will".


A lady with features symphonic
Felt the capital life disharmonic.
"It would be quite a tone
Living in Washington
But I never would drink washing tonic".


Buddhism and Christianity

It is good if you have no desire,
But it's better to rise it much higher,
Till it comes through the worlds
To be merged with Lord's
And returns in celestial fire.


When asked "are you now and here?"
A Yogi from Upper Mahdere
Answered: "Yes, I am now -
Oh don't ask me how -
If not here, well just really near."


A girl from Anchouriastad
Once said: "Oh I like being had."
When they screamed: What a shame,
She replied: Why you blame,
I don't hink being had is ho bad.


A couple from Southern Perth
Were the funniest people on Earth.
When asked, "Where's the root
Of a marriage so good?"
Answered: "We are relatives by mirth."


Absentminded I am - but oh yes -
I apply for a better address.
I have things to be thought
Out of usual lot -
Minded Absent is better, I guess.


Programmers Only

A programmer who knew his device
Once said: you don't need any mice
When you have no sleep
And continue to peep
With your magical infra red eyes.


Рецензии
Maria,
Seemingly having the same impressions as from the other collection of little poems of yours: with a bit of twiddling here and there they could really be made quite agreeable.
Best of luck.

Twiddling is welcome. If you please! Once Twiddledum and Twiddledee - and so on.
