From the diary of a Dowager
She is still smart in her forties and lives in her manor childless.
The land, poultry, vineyard and the whole wealth,
She holds from her deceased husband.
The old parents and the servants lived together.
Her brother-in-law, husband's elder brother
Who was a retired war veteran a senile lives behind the manor in the old haystack.
She doesn't like to marry again and refused all the proposals the parents brought.
'I live my entire life in single' She grumbled.
The classical music gives her courage to pass the time.
Her senile brother-in-law who died in sleep and they buried him near by the haystack.
Exactly after a fortnight of the funeral the complaint was made by a servant that she was pregnant by the deceased Master.
The lady was shocked and she is very kind and promised the servant to adopt the child after the birth.
She adopts the servant's beautiful daughter.
And the servant took hands the old Gardner?

I attended a very small junior high and specially in the end that became a disaster. The principal was pretty senile and a drunk, so the children more or less runned the school.

When the Manor is burning
The Housekeeper a bald-headed senile
Who search his lost toothless comb in a hurry.
* Since his childhood the orphan waged for the baroness.

Exactly How It Is
Did Jesus look you in the eyes?
The Gospel is a pack of lies.
Everything's a compromise.
Only senile men are wise,
The game is over, the laughter dies,
Love's just a squirt between the thighs.

It's not a Pantomime
Hey! My little cute rat friends
Please return my poor denture
You have stolen last night.
Darling! Could I borrow
One of your old knickerbockers
As my stuff stuck in the laundry room
And still wet it seems,
Don't forget today is my interview for 'dog washers'?
*To my homeless senile friend who salutes me sometimes.

I Want To Be Old
I want to be old
And creek by the fire
I want to smell of rotting wood
It's all i desire
I want my joints to seize up
I want my legs to ache
I want my eyesight to fail
I want my skin to flake
To be old
I want to be old
I want false teeth
And not be able to chew
I want to be senile
A centigenarian fool
I want lots of wrinkles
Want my hearing to go
I want to be ignored
And i want to be slow
To be old
I want to be old

A Travelling Sage
There once was a travelling sage
Who lived to a very old age.
Well becoming quite senile,
With problems (yes penile) ,
Here the reader may choose:
1) He kept his packed trunk in a cage.
or
2) He packed his small trunk in a rage.

Vacuum
Silence cannot be simply silent
For it's swirled in burning memories
Grudging heart adventuring victoriously
Put out the fire with oceanic tears
Senile wedlock and rancid life are the eyes
In swollen emptiness
Now gazing into the remote vacuum

Journeywork
What do you expect of this aging physique?
He closes his gloomy eyes but not blind
And he is like a quiet cup of tea but not dumb.
He never listens but not deaf.
He is a Man once pushed a big Mountain
But the *Pickwickian already senile
And only the mountain cries.
* The simple, Goodhearted hero of Charles Dicken's Pickwick Papers.

Dogma in My Hymn
Dogma in my hymn: I am God
Dog, as a devil deified; deified, lived as a dog
Dog sex, even if fine, vexes God.
Dog's a fool: aloof as God.
Senile felines-
Was it a car or a cat I saw?
Stack cats;
Step on no pets
Drab as a fool, aloof as a bard.

The Great Event
Its going to happen very soon. the great event which will end the horror. which will end the sorrow. next tuesday, when the sun goes down, I will play the moonlight sonata backwards. this will
Se the effects of the worlds mad plunge into suffering, for the last 200 million years. what a lovely night that would be. what a sigh of relief, as the senile robins become bright red again, and the retired nightingales, pick up their dusty tails, and assert the majesty of creation!

Nonagenarian
He is not yet senile but a fading memory,
in his nonchalant way sitting on a bench
with his walking stick aside.
He is another member to the home for the elders
who sustains by charity.
Nobody comes to see him
loved ones either forgotten
or lives abroad who knows? .
Like a sundowner looking to the infinity
and he smiles alone with teary eyes.
His wrinkled face reflects the hardships undergone.
Everybody's Dad!
not necessary to wrestle with life again
the days are very few to regain.

Beyond goodbye
live beyond destruction
even waiting is wasting
every sweet goodbye
find thou its nothing,
for forgetting is a lasting enigma
of every ageless senile
look what is essential.
the mind keeps on remembering,
like the knight warrior of
the golden age without a sword
to glitter
search and fulfill, that only
you the soul can retell, for the night come
empty but only the shadow of the past
glad to find the light
Viva! Los Amigos

On the Beach at Fontana
Wind whines and whines the shingle,
The crazy pierstakes groan;
A senile sea numbers each single
Slimesilvered stone.
From whining wind and colder
Grey sea I wrap him warm
And touch his trembling fineboned shoulder
And boyish arm.
Around us fear, descending
Darkness of fear above
And in my heart how deep unending
Ache of love!

Warning of Innuendoes
An old tatty knave reads the strange Tattoo on her attractive back;
'The proximity where I roam contains chemicals, including Tobacco smoke
known to the state of Insomnia to cause Cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.Handsome Politicians' lethargy.
More information on specific exposures has been provided to wayfarers..........'
The rest few lines covered by her strapless sensational Brassiere.
Though he's senile he reminisces the word 'Warning.'

On Chittoe Heath
The crow cries out in anger
As the senile branches scrape the sky
And past the trees a stranger
Picks his way through the dead land.
The forest broods in silence beneath the sullen clouds
And there is no comfort for the passer-by
Who does not sense the danger
That the crow sees in the secret messages
From sky and stone.
Suddenly a silver flash, and a crack of thunder
Splits the earth.
The wanderer has never felt so alone.
