Mr. Jack Daw of the

called for a round of
drinks on the house.

Rooks with Mag Pies

The crows beak was long
enough to peck the silver
top of the milk bottles when
we were young in Ireland.

To a depth of the cream,
then, they'd turn their heads
side ways, look down to see
why the taste had changed.

About that time of morning,
first bakes of the day would
be out on the window sills,
'till cool enough to be cut.

Before being caught, they
would have all the raisins
plucked from the crusts, as
we went to fetch the milk!

Just because there is a window
in an envelope, does not mean
it is bad news.

If it was accompanied with lace
curtains or shutters, then one
might become suspicious.

My friend lives on a Lighthouse,
in Finisterre, the first female
keeper in France.

Madame Lumiere, she is known
as locally and to the ships in the
night.

Her abode is like a snow dome,
full visibility, twenty four seven.
So, all her letters have portholes.

Next time you ponder mail, with
a glazed look, reflect before you
open it and think about Samantha.

A note to Israel

on the gates of Hell.


Jews not welcome, those

what were we did expel,


Because God said that ye

are the frozen people.


There's a purge in Purgatory

foreskins needed to get into Limbo.


Step back from the gate and don’t annoy

Put on your skull caps, and go back to Sinai.

Because of the impending

St. writing turns to graffiti
with malicious content.

I have begun to scale back
my consumption just to
be prepared for such an
eventually and I discovered
that by chewing more, one
eats less, but not only that!

No more forking, as it has
been my observation for
some time now, that all the
cultures using chopsticks
suffer less from obesity
than the rest of the world.

Today it took me a half an
hour to finish my porridge,
the boiled egg even longer.

Let the wall be a symbol
of all the nations who
constructed them, let it
encompass all the reasons
for why they endured, let
it reflect the yin yang of
those it separates, let it be
a mountain range, let it be
a canyon, let it be a river,
let it be an obstacle of man
made art, let it be the spine
of two notions, let it be the
ring binder of two pages,
let it be a notice board, let
it be two voices, let it be a
last will and testament, let
it be were echoes meet, let
it be a pew for the gold'n
bald eagle, let it be where
they meet, to prey, together.
Golden Eagle is national bird
of Mexico and the Bald, USA.

not even all of the water,

But God will survive and
hopefully next time people

all the same religion and
all the same gender, but
