It suddenly happened overnight
but somehow I got old
It wasn't from a sudden fright
or noticing I'm bald

I woke one morning feeling fine
then my mirror cracked
Have I not noticed my decline
and it has gone unchecked ?

and as I stared back at my greys
I began to weep
then said hello to my old face
and went back to sleep

Mirror Mirror
Arek Oct 2019
hips don't lie
the truth is in the mirror
there is a reason why
you don't look like Shakira

you'll need more than a prayer
to look like Madonna
the longer that you stare
you’ll look more like her nonna

if you those biscuits touch
more truth your hips will gain
and this will not impress me much
and Shania Twain

An Eel Deal
Arek Nov 2020
I bought a magic rug
from an ugly genie
it was no longer snug
but frail, old and skinny

I took it for a ride
like Aladdin would
but it could only glide
and wasn't flying good

I asked for a new deal
and an extra wish
but genie turned me to an eel
a frail, old, skinny fish

Cost of living
Arek Sep 2019
The cost of living has gone up
even dogs have been complaining
It's not easy to raise a pup
then take through obedience training

They're now scratching for every dollar
and have even taken loans
I heard a few have sold their collar
and dug up buried bones

With prices always upwards rising
and economy so frail
I guess its really not surprising
they're chasing their own tail

My Heroine
Arek Aug 2020
Supergirl couldn't save me
and Lois Lane didn't come
Wonder Woman stopped to crave me
when she found out where I'm from

Batgirl she was too scared
and hid inside her cave
While CatWoman just sat and stared
as her tail stopped to wave

but you, you came running
with super powers non-existent
just a smile that's so stunning
rescuing me in an instant

from Heathrow i left from gate eleven
on the London to Sydney BA257

and it was somewhere over Brussels
i started to flex my drinking muscles

by the time i crossed the Rhine
i was on my second glass of wine

then i switched over to some gin
when i flew over West Berlin

and i could feel more intoxication
while crossing some eastern european nation

and by the time i reached Volgograd
i was best friends with a man called Vlad

though i wasn't sure he was a man
when we were passing over Kazakhstan

then over the mighty high Pamirs
there were ***** shots and lots of cheers

so much more that by Islamabad
i started to feel that too much I've had

and when we finally landed in New Delhi
i had to empty by entire belly

thankfully it was a long stopover
and that helped me lots with my hangover

and i felt better that i had a brandy
just before we left Indira Ghandi

but Sydney was no longer my destination
as i changed my ticket to a new location

and so i flew back to Heathrow instead
to get drunk again with my best friend Vlad

The Cup
Arek May 2020
i wrote out my dreams with a pen
and placed them in a cup
i looked into the stars and then
with pride i held it up

i toasted to the moon above
and branches of the trees
i then said my goodbye to love
and threw them in the breeze

and maybe, maybe there's a day
when one might pass you by
but dream, only a dream can stay
only in dreams we fly

Sip in Peace
Arek Nov 2022
"God sees everything we do"
I saw it last night on a sign
I certainly hope that isn't true
he'll know I'm drinking too much wine

and that I have a smoke or three
sometimes it includes a ****
and my browsing history
is filled with websites that are wrong

This feels really so unfair
I don't know what God does each day ?
I'm sure when he has time to spare
he has a glass of chardonnay

Goldfinger
Arek Sep 2019
i stuck my finger in my nose
doing some gold mining
i found a pretty decent dose
but nothing that was shining

i stuck my finger in my ear
and dug out a yellow clump
i found it wasn't close or near
a gold nugget or a lump

i stuck my finger in my ***
there were pros and cons
i found besides a sore left thumb
no gold but at least bronze

Easy Peasy
Arek Oct 2019
there has to be an easier way
from this daily grind
before my teeth are worn away
from worries on my mind

before my fingernails are all eaten
right down to the bone
before my face is sad and beaten
looking overgrown

before my dreams become puree
and i on them gag
there has to be an easier way
before i lay an egg

Wings
Arek Jul 2021
Things, the basis of all greed
Wings, is really what you need

Dreams, is actually what matters
Screams, is when they are in tatters

From, always wanting more each day
Come, take my hand let's fly away

The Cure
Arek Oct 2019
the following is a true story
which happened in a laboratory

in a sterile habitat
between a guinea pig and a rat

their mutual dislike has grown stronger
they fought about who's tails longer

but since a guinea pig has no tail
that fight was always doomed to fail

and when the lab rat took a bite
the guinea pig still felt alright

that day next to some test tube babies
two rodents found the cure for rabies

Free as a Dove
Arek Oct 2019
I'd love to be a dove
skies gracefully navigating
and somewhere high from up above
my bowels evacuating

with an olive branch
hanging off my beak
giving me a carte blanche
to peacefully take a leak

and during my release
amidst applause and cheer
I'll be spreading love and peace
and lots of my diarrhea

My starsign is a capricorn
and this is what it wrote
"You think you are a unicorn
but you are just a goat

Standing on a mountain top
thinking you're a leader
But really your life is a flop
and you're a bottom feeder

Meanwhile your future is so glum
that's beyond hilarious
maybe the blame rests with your mum
you're not a Sagittarius"

Night and Day
Arek Oct 2019
the day switched off its light
and sent the wind to sleep
then gave a nudge and woke the night
and said - your turn to keep

of work my half is done
now go and earn your nightly bread
your work is so much easier son
with everyone in bed

but night said - that is so untrue
for when you're not about
you don't know what these people do
when their lights are out

Money
Arek Oct 2019
there's more to life than money
but i am not so sure
it seems even the Easter bunny
keeps asking for some more

and Santas rates are higher too
quite a substantial whack
he charges extra to fit through
gifts via the chimney stack

money makes the world go round
might be as merry as it gets
the dollar, euro and the pound
were all just chasing debts

Fencing
Arek Aug 2022
You cannot choose your neighbours
luck will decide that fate
They come in many flavours
from noisy through to great

Some won't be to you speaking
and some straight out of hell
some of tobacco reeking
or some illicit smell

But then one will arrive
who might make things less tense
and make you all night through till five
spy over the fence

Threesome
Arek Oct 2019
gentle as a summer breeze
or a winter storm
she could be any one of these
one day icy next day warm

often switching like the weather
being as soft as lace
then suddenly be dressed in leather
slapping me across the face

every day was tears or laughter
until i found the cause
and the three of us lived happily ever after
since her menopause

Bathymetry
Arek Jul 2022
I was told that during my baptism
things didn't go so well
They had to perform an exorcism
to drag me back from hell

Apparently I started myself soiling
while very loudly crying
It looked like the water started boiling
and the priest was a baby frying

Some people started to run and shout
leaving a lasting aftermath
that to this day I let bubbles out
when I take my Sunday bath

My Dream Destinations
Arek Aug 2022
I travel in my dreams
and I've been to many places
It's much cheaper it seems
without packing suitcases

Don't need a passport or a visa
or booking complicated flights
to visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa
or see the Northern Lights

and to climb the Eiffel Tower
no need to plan ahead
because I'll be there in an hour
when I hit the bed

Milky Ways
Arek May 2023
There's a forest fire in Spain
and a typhoon in Japan
India's in floods from heavy rain
and an earthquake in Bhutan

There's a virus outbreak on a cruise
a ten car pile up on a bridge
and we just received some breaking news
there is no milk in the fridge

and the breaking came with quite a smash
like a collision of tectonic plates
then a loud thump and then a crash
and the slamming of front gates

so you might hear a disturbance great
with wives spitting like they're llamas
that's why early morning in aisle eight
there are husbands in pyjamas

Holiday Surprise
Arek Oct 2019
magic happened every day
when she was with me
for the whole world on display
like a Christmas tree

every night was New Years night
with fireworks
all my dreams were taking flight
like champagne corks

but then Good Friday she got keen
with my sister
every day's been Halloween
after Easter

A man from Poland is a pole
that makes a German one a germ ?
then one from Holland is a hole
and from Peru must be a perm

If one from Scotland is a Scot
and an Australian is an Aussie
so one from Botswana is a bot
and from Mozambique a mozzie ?

Then every guy that lives in Greenland
must be turning greenish
i think it's best I move to Finland
and this stupid poem finnish

Cardiology
Arek Jul 2021
It's the little things that matter
the big things can all rest
I prefer a mild heart flutter
not a full cardiac arrest

and driving like my grandpa does
not fast like some young bloke
so my brain only gets a buzz
not a massive stroke

because life doesn't need a shove
but a touch that's so much finer
so that your heart feels all the love
not pain from an Angina

In Colour
Arek Jul 2020
I always dreamt in black and white
no red or green or blue
always until last night
that's when my eyes met you

and now my dreams have come alive
with purples, yellows, pinks
i cant wait neath the bed sheets dive
to get a few more winks

and all i want is to see you
while snoring with delight
in red and green and also blue
not boring black and white

Phishing
Arek Aug 2022
When I first heard about internet
I thought it was something about fishing
which was posing a massive global threat
and less seafood we'll be dishing

Then I heard about this world wide web
I thought it was something about spiders
Some virus invented in some lab
and only known to a few insiders

Now I hear about something called WiFi
and that it's always dropping out
I think it's something to do with a fly
which keeps landing on my smoked trout

Election Day
Arek Oct 2019
wake up its election day
its compulsory to vote
so tick a box and have a say
will we sink or float

but is it going to really matter
what face gets elected
your sleep wont get any better
and your tax still collected

and with your money they will play
you're just a bottom feeder
till one day aliens land and say
take me to your leader

Fin ished
Arek Jun 2022
I had a young shark as a pet
when he was still so small
We would both love to get wet
and with the sea waves roll

Chasing surfers, scaring girls
with both our fins out
Hiding beneath oceans swirls
as they scream and shout

From shocking many scuba divers
we would get our kicks
There wouldn't be any survivors
from our bag of tricks

But then suddenly one day
our friendship hit a snag
and I no longer with sea waves play
because I have one leg

New Years Day is great
to make a to do list
i'm gonna lose some weight
and stop getting ******

each morning hit the gym
and raise a bit of sweat
to make me toned and slim
and shed that extra fat

come January second
and all went to my plan
i did all the things i reckoned
without one beer can

but by Australia Day
it seems this year came sooner
three kilo's more i weigh
and i'm on my twelfth schooner

Hooray its no pants Sunday
Today is trousers free
From all the days it's one day
i can show past my knee

My upper thighs will bask to
the warm rays of the sun
and i wont have to ask you
if my fly is undone

It will feel satisfying
a breeze between my legs
while to break free my pants are trying
from two clothesline pegs

Dr Jekyll and Mrs Hyde
Arek Aug 2022
Why do some people become mad
when they get behind the wheel
Did they wake up from the wrong side of the bed
and forgot their morning pill ?

It's as if they're suddenly someone else
the minute that they start to drive
their mouth vile obscenities yells
you'd think the devil came alive

Although I know exactly how that feels
with my sudden change of face
When I put on a skirt and my pink high heels
and Friday evenings become Grace

A Smelly Shelley
Arek Oct 2019
this poem isn't about love
no i am not that nice
it's not about the stars above
and how i see them in your eyes

this poem will not make you sing
or jump high in the air
but you make each day the first of spring
with flowers in your hair

this poem won't make your heart quicken
or skip a beat once in a while
i won't mention how my both knees weaken
everytime you smile

this poem might not make you laugh
but it gave me butterflies
how i quickly got through the first half
when i came to realise

that this poem which i tried to pen
had these perfect words aligning
if poems aren't about love then
why are all the stars so brightly shining

Happy Marriage For Dummies

always look at the bright side of wife
not the dark one holding a stick or a knife

not the one loaded with verbal ammunition
or the one directing an inquisition

but the side that is full of love and laughter
and you'll both live happily ever after

right after this spring morning's fight
because it's your fault the sun is so bright

A New Spring
Arek Apr 2021
A poet once wrote here
a long, long time ago
He'd often shed a tear
which helped the words to flow

He'd write about the trees
the stars, the moon and sky
and set them loose out on the breeze
which helped the words to fly

but then the poems ended
until there came a spring
that's when my heart your heart befriended
now once more my words sing

We all live only once
but who wants to live again ?
unless it is in southern France

I might even reconsider

if I could live in Florida

I'd live a hundred lives
if I could live all of them out

Aunty Dora and Uncle Bob
Arek Mar 2021
The meaning to life can't
be money or good looks
I heard this from my aunt
who read so many books

Nor is it having in your shed
all the tools to life
that's what my uncle said
looking at his wife

Then they both looked at me
and said you'll know when you grow up
while pouring a little bit more tea
into my half empty cup

She was an oil engineer
and specialised in gas
She was bold and had no fear
a brave courageous lass

She worked on an oil rig
in the middle of an ocean
She fixed all things however big
and then got a promotion

She then worked in the city
and with the big heads all day mingle
but despite being very pretty
her love of gas still made her single

and so she found a highland terrier
when he was just a little puppy
and now her life could not be merrier
with every **** they're both so happy

So Much More
Arek Sep 2019
there must be more to this
than eating, drinking, porking
this life is far from bliss
but sweating, slaving, working

is there another path
from mortgage, taxes, bills
i'm running out of math
with fears, terrors, chills

and seems i'm running late
while searching, dreaming, wishing
so me and my best mate
are going eating, drinking, fishing

Golden Age
Arek Aug 2022
There's not much fun in getting old
when you're getting ready for bed at seven
Middle of summer and you're freezing cold
and half of your friends are in heaven

There's not much fun when you call it a night
after your second glass of wine
and when you're asked to sign but you've lost your sight
and cant find the dotted line

There's not much fun when just one sneeze
can somehow lead to bronchitis
and you ask for a fork when you order Chinese
because your fingers have arthritis

There's not much fun in getting old
no one said ageing is great
so on this summers day while I'm freezing cold
goodnight all its almost eight

Copernicus liked to count
all the stars in the sky
until he reached an amount
that was much too high

Copernicus then started counting

but this time as he was recounting
he made himself a chart

as the last star he would enter
was a star that always has been near
and placed his wife at his life's centre

The Power of Love
Arek Jul 2021
If I could turn back the clock
when is it that I'd go ?
would it be the birth of rock
when Elvis was on show ?

or wait until it evolved more
when Pink Floyd wrote the wall
or try to maybe hit the floor
when Bee Gees span the disco ball

But while I am no historian
There's a time I found this power
So to Huey's I'll take my Delorean
past 88 miles an hour
