The Thing
Arek
Sep 2019
The Thing
i found there is this thing
its kind of like an extra wing
it helps me climb up off the ground
and gives me strength when none is found
then sometimes it feels like a sword
and helps me fight with every word
and on the days when i am weak
it becomes my walking stick
today though it became a pen
and helped me write out that i can
from this endless downward *****
climb once again,
with this thing called hope

The Trip of a Lifetime
Arek
Jul 2021
The Trip of a Lifetime
There is a road to happiness
but it's an arduous trip
you must first pass through loneliness
and face dip after dip
Then cross the long flat plains of sadness
and rivers full of tears
Through cities oozing crazy madness
grinding all your gears
but then the trip comes to an end
and finally there'll be smiles
you'll shout out as you on the mountain stand
"this trip's been worth the miles"

The Truth

The Truth
Sometimes the truth is hard to swallow
you can choke and die
so a new diet now I follow
where my every word’s a lie

The Wiggles

The Wiggles
my big toe says hello
proudly in charge wiggling
there's four more in a row
right beside him giggling
last in line is pinky
who's on the edges scraping
in my socks hates being stinky
keeps through a hole escaping
I've heard some say they smell
as do some fancy cheeses
but i have walked with them through hell
and on water just like Jesus

Third Time Lucky

Third Time Lucky
I need a second chance
to come on my door knocking
for Lady Luck to my way glance
with something from her stocking
while Father Christmas also should
be getting me a present
for far too long i have been good
and been to my wife pleasant
and also God with some good deed
should play a major factor
but maybe what i really need
is the whole trifecta

This Guy
Arek
Jul 2020
This Guy
This guy likes jalapeno bread
with jalapeno cheese
he eats both till his face turns red
screaming on his knees
He likes to work, he likes to play
but mostly it's the latter
He loves it when the skies are grey
because he daydreams better
It's true he isn't into cars
he's not a handy man
and when night comes he counts the stars
while his hand holds a pen
This guy then finally goes to sleep
and all that his dreams see
is you, some say that he's a creep
but this silly guy is me

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

Thriller

Thriller
i chose my women based on looks
not their intelligence
most were only one page books
lacking all suspense
so this time i chose wisely
with you i'm on page two
this story's going very nicely
i wonder who kills who

Thunderstorms

Thunderstorms
i like thunderstorms
a show that's most impressive
i like the way one grows and forms
before it gets aggressive
i like how it stands from the crowd
with it's anvil head
the mighty cumulonimbus cloud
is one cloud that's turned bad
i like it as it's getting closer
as the night sky flickers
and then arrives like a bulldozer
that you might need clean knickers

Ticket to my Moon

Ticket to my Moon
There's one way to the moon
it's via a rocket ship
you'll get there pretty soon
a most expensive trip
but i might take my time
because i found another
I'll use some words and rhyme
and get there via a ladder

Time for a change
Arek
Jul 2020
Time for a change
Why are our oceans salty, why ?
couldn't they be sweet
or made of chocolate oh my oh my
I'd dip more than my feet
Why are our deserts made of sand
and not of flour why ?
world hunger would then surely end
I'd less from hunger cry
Why are our ice caps melting fast
like icing on a cake
we must change our ways, we must
and quicker our cakes bake

Time out
Arek
Sep 2019
Time out
time is a thief
with two very grubby hands
he makes the fun times brief
and shortens our weekends
then weekdays he stands still
especially nine to five
and makes our Mondays feel
that we might not survive
but then he’s on the move again
my watch is to him set
and he won’t stop till God knows when
or when my battery's flat

Time travel on a budget
Arek
Oct 2019
Time travel on a budget
time travel is getting cheaper
and they're offering great rates
you can get a return sleeper
to some far flung dates
watch them sign and announce
the American constitution
or go and see a few heads bounce
at the French revolution
watch Neil Armstrong make a step
however great or small
see Columbus check his map
when he makes landfall
but one trip remains overpriced
i guess it's justified
if you want to see Jesus Christ
you still get crucified

Tip of the Iceberg
Arek
May 2022
Tip of the Iceberg
It all began with weight gain
followed by hair loss
Then shoulder, neck and back pain
making me all night toss
Then sore and bleeding gums
and needing reading glasses
arthritis in my thumbs
while emitting deadly gases
While lately I've been thinking
there is no need to panic
but could it be my ship is sinking
faster than the Titanic

To Be Continued
... and poets will keep on writing
singers keep on singing
countries will continue fighting
with their tails stinging
lovers will continue trying
to find love everlasting
dreamers will continue flying
through their sad days blasting
and haters will continue hating
but let them all continue
while this planet keeps rotating
what matters is what's in you

To Bee or not To Bee

To Bee or not To Bee
In the jungle far away
there was a very angry bee
he scared all that's in his way
and chased the monkeys up the tree
he bit the baboon on the ***
and made the elephant walk upright
he caused the lemurs lips be numb
and then turned the chameleon white
he stopped the playful giant otter
from having all his fun
he got the leopard into a spot of bother
and even got the sloth to run
but his rage was doomed to fail
when the lion he tried to sting
with one slap of his mighty tail
the lion continued to be king

Today
Arek
Aug 2020
Today
The most important time is now
let tomorrow wait
don't freak out, don't have a cow
enjoy what's on your plate
and drink what's in your glass
laugh until you're blue
do not fret, don't make a fuss
until today is through
so when tomorrow's finally here
stare it in the face
then tell it loudly without fear
my yesterday you can't replace

To her apparent
Arek
Sep 2019
To her apparent
my wife went window shopping
and apparently found a door
through which there was no stopping
from buying half the store
apparently we’re in desperation
for new things for the house
perhaps also a decoration
like shoes, a skirt and blouse
there will never be another sale
such prices I won’t find
apparently i know nothing about retail
and apparently also blind

Tour de Dance
I love dancing in Bahamas
and in New Orleans
I love dancing in pyjamas
and in your ripped jeans
I love dancing when in Delhi
and when in Hong Kong
I love dancing when I'm smelly
and when i really pong
I love dancing in Kathmandu
and Ole in Spain
I love dancing when skies are blue
and much more in the rain
I love dancing in Greece in Crete
and then when in Rome
I love dancing on the street
and when i am at home
I love dancing when leaving Dover
and on the ferry going to France
so before this song is over
let's make Paris our last dance

Transitions
Maybe my life is a test
for whatever happens next
and when I'm finally laid to rest
I will get a text
"Congratulations you have passed
the toughest test of all
with all the knowledge you amassed
while being strong and tall
but now it's time to move on
and be a better human
Congratulations you have won
the chance to be a woman"

Trauma
Arek
Sep 2019
Trauma
Medical trauma is life changing
look at Jimmy Hendrix
He only started his guitar twanging
after his burst appendix
Similarly too **** Jagger
who was one of the unknowns
and only picked up all his swagger
after removal of his stones
and Madonna's inspiration
came from a top notch surgeon
after her new ***** implantation
she sang Like a ******

Trees
I don’t think I will ever see
a poem as silly about a tree
a tree that is great for spying
at my neighbour by the pool lying
a tree that in the shade feels nice
with trunk that's as smooth as her thighs
a tree that's perfect for a rest
where underneath i touched her breast
and also further more to boot
among its roots I got a root
and in it’s branches there’s still a pair
of her pink laced underwear
this poem made me a little hard
thank God for the big tree in my yard

True Lies
Arek
Jul 2021
True Lies
True friends are hard to find
so I bought a lie detector
then I could carefully read their heart and mind
to find who's true and who's an actor
but when the findings were compiled
the results were quite a blow
I was so upset but then eventually smiled
and I joined this TV show

Try Hard
I'm no poet really
all i do is rhyme
writing poems silly
simple, short but I'm
trying to write longer
poems with more heart
so you think I'm stronger
and a bit more smart
but unfortunately I'll
never be that guy
though if i leave you with a smile
this poem's worth a try

Twenty Twenty
this year can go to hell
if it were a flower
like a hobo it would smell
who for a whole year didn't shower
this year is completely wrong
there is no way to put it
but if it were this year best song
all day i would mute it
this year if it were a race
and you were on a horse
you would finish in last place
while horse may fare much worse
this year has so much harm done
and hurt all of us plenty
so please hurry twenty twenty one
and *uck off twenty twenty

Two Little Birds

Two Little Birds
Last night I had a chat with God
We used to talk much more
So I guess it was rather odd
that he knocked on my door
We spoke about the usual stuff
with lots of questions why
Some serious one's, some worth a laugh
some even made us cry
Our evening lasted for so long
but before God said good night
She said the answer's in a Bob Marley song
and everything's gonna be alright

Until then
Arek
Jul 2020
Until then
My ocean is no longer blue
nor is it far and wide
and sea birds that above it flew
have disappeared and died
The sun has nowhere left to set
and moon no place to shimmer
there is no wind to steal my hat
and all the stars shine dimmer
The waves don't play for you and me
without our footprints in the sand
and when the sun kisses the sea
there's no touch of your hand
So while my eyes cannot see you
I'm sure of one thing then
my ocean never will be blue
until we meet again

If there is a heaven
I'm booking the next flight
on a 747
I'll get there overnight
might even get myself a treat
and pay a little more
sitting in a first class seat
a glass of champagne pour
and i might even have another
you need to travel well
flying economy I'd rather
be going straight to hell

Very Very Me
Arek
Sep 2019
Very Very Me
my poetry is simple
and very very silly
it often rhymes with pimple
and sometimes with a *****
its never complicated
but very very light
long words are overrated
and hard to read at night
it can be also curious
and very very weird
sometimes as mysterious
as my girlfriends beard
they say that life is short
that's very very true
so laugh until you start to snort
and be so very you

Weather You Like It
Arek
Jul 2021
Weather You Like It
Every day will be a gift
even grey and rainy Mondays
because eventually all the clouds will lift
and they'll become sunny Sundays
Every night will be the best
even when the wind is screaming
because eventually it will have a rest
and amongst stars we'll be dreaming
Every moment will feel better
and you will shed your last tear
just when you think your winter will get wetter
suddenly the skies will clear

Wet, Wet, Wet
Arek
Aug 2022
Wet, Wet, Wet
The sound of rain makes me sleep better
that I don't need sleeping pills
I even moved to a place that's wetter
high up in the hills
When it rains here it's often pouring
which adds to the charm
and it often has me loudly snoring
right through my alarm
Sometimes the sound is in my dreams
but there's a few I dread
those when I'm surrounded by gushing streams
which make me wet my bed

What a Joke
Arek
Sep 2020
What a Joke
My jokes are all light hearted
lighter than a feather
none have hiccups started
or cause leakage from their bladder
No one has rolled on the floor
in stitches and in tears
no one has begged "please no more"
covering their ears
All my jokes end with no laughter
and none i have seen smiling
this is usually followed after
their fingers police dialing

Wheels in motion
i bought a brand new car
with four shiny wheels
it's better than my last by far
and nothing in it squeals
it gets me now from A to B
without breaking down
and i can even get to C
or drive it into town
it's radio always plays on cue
and it comes with air
although my old car had air too
with windscreen in repair
but this car starts every time
when i turn the key
i dont get covered in some grime
and doesn't smell like ***
so this friday about five
i'll take my friends and we
are going for the longest drive
as far away as D

Whether or Not
Arek

Whether or Not
No man is an island
for true love we all search
whether it's in Thailand
or Sunday morning church
Always looking for someone
for that special person
whether it might be a nun
or maybe Elle McPherson
Then magically we get together
might need a prayer, or eight
but tragically love depends in whether
in bikinis she looks great

Come, take my hand let's fly away

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
and by the seventh day God didn't rest
no that's when he got busy
some sauce and cheese, a chicken breast
then salt and pepper, easy
a glass of wine or maybe four
then called to all his mates
to dance their butts off on the floor
at the heavens gates
this Sunday also is my wish
for a taste of paradise
few friends, some wine, a chicken dish
then salt and pepper, nice

With You
Arek
Jul 2020
With You
With you i wake up every day
and then sing in the shower
my hair has stopped from turning grey
i don't swear during rush hour
With you my life feels without issues
and happier is my cat
i haven’t bought a box of tissues
since the day we met
With you my armpits are less sweaty
my shirts are wrinkle free
and when it rains it's like confetti
when you are next to me
When I’m with you i now can sleep
and not from nightmares scream
all of the night, without a peep
with you in every dream

Women's shoes

Women's shoes
Women and their shoes
It's all they care about
a different pair they need to choose
each time they're going out
Wearing the same pair twice
is a fashion fail
so they will pay whatever price
whenever there's a sale
and with the change of seasons
that's when they all cut loose
It's just one of many reasons
why they need more shoes
and as she's standing there
waiting in the queue
you'll see her buy that perfect pair
in pink and brown and red and blue

Wooden Spooner
Life is not a competition
just being happy you're alive
but without it we may lack ambition
with no desire and no drive
What we all want is a goal
A reward to quench our thirst
There is something deep inside our soul
that wants us to be first
But sometimes in life all you need
without trying to be fast
is great friends, drinks and a tasty feed
and I'll happily finish last

YOLO
it might be a beauty spot
or a melanoma
one day a runny nose you got
the next you're in a coma
ordering that last beer please
could lead to cirrhosis
or some very rare disease
with a poor prognosis
so if you are fit as a fiddle
don't waste time being pensive
do it all, don't your thumbs twiddle
before you're in intensive

He was a vegetarian Zorro

He didn't care much for tomorro

All his duels long didn't last

Despite his awe inspiring ******
he'd often end up dinna
So then Zorro changed his diet
and grew a bigger tummi
and won each duel till he retired
wielding a salami
