Now I have to have the biggest P.O. box in the entire post office to get all the manuscripts coming in.

October the Post Office Cat
Some thought she was a stray
That had come for scraps along the way
That might be left from the lunch
Of the post office staff; a kindly bunch.
But others knew her for what she was,
October the Post Office Cat.
She had a duty like any employee
To be on time and serve the public daily
And as any other as all know,
Had an official position just so.
October the Post Office Cat.
As soon as the walks were swept
And the doors were opened for the daily visits,
She found her space upon the walk
A bit removed so that none would balk
As they came to do their task or mail whatever.
October the Post Office Cat.
She often times was given the duty
Of minding some child whose custodian
Had business to attend
In dealing with the letters or packages within,
So she laid there carefully in the sun
Till end of day when her work was done.
October the Post Office Cat.
She was known by all who came along that way
Parking carefully throughout the day
Making sure that she was not disturbed
As she, her duties did perform.
Watching and listening to the sounds of pleasure
That only can be bestowed on one to treasure.
Yet adults knew not how to measure.
October the Post Office Cat.
On the post across the way
A yellow sign was placed on display
By the lady who ran the insurance office
Who wanted to be sure that others notice
That this was the path taken each day
As the cat came to begin her official stay.
October the Post Office Cat.
There came a time when she did not appear
And it was certainly a time to fear
That something had befallen this special one
Who worked so hard to please everyone
And the sign was removed so that all would know
That she wouldn't be there anymore.
October the Post Office Cat.
Then mysteriously the sign reappeared
On the post for all to read
Which proclaimed that this was the crossing
Reserved for the cat that all were missing.
And it's said that she comes each day
Although never seen by adults on their way
But the children know that she is there.
October the Post Office Cat.

Collateral Damage
For the entire office
a death like his
coming as it has
the day before
Thanksgiving
complicates the holiday
for everyone. It makes
things difficult
for all: the wake
the other matters.

I Wait For My Turn In The Post- Office
I WAIT FOR MY TURN IN THE POST- OFFICE
I wait for my turn in the post- office
Impatience breathes all around me
I tell myself to be quiet-
I am seated after all
And now have a pen in my hand.
Others can waste time waiting
But I will write a few lines for Eternity
I remember the agitation
The sense of meaninglessness
Which have accompanied me all day today
And yesterday
And many days
And all my days.
I write these lines
With relief,
As if I am really doing something.

It Is A Joy
It is a joy to sit in a cluttered basement in the morning.
It is a joy to wait at the dentist's office.
It is a joy to drive to the post office, and not have an accident.
It is a joy to go to the bathroom.
It is a joy to type.
It is a joy to listen.
It is a joy to see.
I am seeing.

The Easter Rising
eiri amach na casca
(the Easter rising)
The Proclamation had met with silence,
he must have known the fight was lost,
But, Connolly, faithful to the Cause,
Was accepting of its cost.
They took the Green, The inns of Court,
the Post on Sackville Street
De Valera stood at Bolandʼ s mill
the place where five roads meet.
Their commander, Pearse, a scholar,
Apportioned his menʼ s lives,
To garrison each strong point
Till the British would arrive.
Their tactics were pure suicide-
They could not hope to stand,
But their strategy was brilliant
Meant to rouse a sleeping land.
Sure to die of a snipers bullet-
Or a British firing squad
These unabashed Republicans
Held out against long odds..
Bloodied by the Rebel guns,
The foe paid dear for ground
The general post office was in flames
as their gunboats shelled our town.
The week crawled past and Dublin burned
The post Office glowed White hot
Pearse watched his troop dwindle and fade.
Faint from shell and shock..
They gave up to be crucified
In Imperial British fashion
And by dying saved their country.
Their deaths brought her resurrection.
The British with their firing squad
Could ready, aim and fire.
The Brotherhood by dying
Could persuade, convince, inspire
From the graves of these patriot men
Was an Irish nation grown.
Their struggle at the post office
Still captured in itsʼ stone.

Who is the Best?
Mankind want to brake the record,
Many competitors want to be the best, they can afford.
Better then anybody, a never ending rush for winning,
Followed by enemies, hatred and they get what's coming.
In life, sport, schools and in the office too,
Many want to beat the other and overdo,
Some thinks they are better if they win,
In my opinion they are worst, they are just toxin.
Winning makes them the biggest losers,
Many will hate them, they never will be respected treasures,
Being kind, flexible, humble but strong and wise,
Is the only way to find true happiness advise.

Walk Into My Room And Let Me Teach You
Love,
Siblings,
Expected;
Walk into my room and let me teach you!
And like the muse of love to capture your emotions,
But let me tell you a story.
Clinic,
Post office,
Security post!
Ready for an occupation in the name of love;
But, walk into my room and let me teach you.

Do Not Post Your Poem Here
Do not post your poem here
Unless you've something worth a say!
You must not waste a space like this,
For space can waste away!
Do not post your poem here
With words which make no sense!
Be careful when you post it here
That you use the proper tense!
Do not post your poem here
Just to fill a space with words!
A poem should be well thought out,
Was it meant to be absurd?
Do not post your poem here
If in cliches you would write.
A poem should be fresh, yes sharp -
You'll know when it's just right!
Do not post your poem here
Just to see yourself in print.
You're wasting others time you know
With such, self centred stints!
I wil not post my poem here,
This one does not exist,
But did I tell you at the start
That I'm a nihilist?

Ta Ta Wayo Wayo
Hot sun in the city
The symphony is clear
The girls are so pretty
Post card souvenir
I feel it coming on
Hot sun in the city
I feel it coming on
The joints are still ripping
All faces aglow
The hearts are still skipping
Ta ta wayo wayo
I feel it coming on
Hot sun in the city
I feel it coming on
The transistor beaches
Hot tan on white sand
The motel with peaches
Its getting out of hand
I feel it coming on
Hot sun in the city
I feel it coming on

This Maniacs In Love With You
I used to be so in control
But reality is losing its hold
Now I dont know where to begin
Just look at the state that Im in
My mind is in total decay
Im coming to take you away
Theres nothing more that I can
Do
This maniacs in love with you
Your biggest fear has just come
True
This maniacs in love with you
This maniacs in love with you
This maniac, this maniac
My heart has been strapped in a
Straight jacket love
The therapy boys say it fits like a
Glove
Im crossing the line in my brain
The line between pleasure and
Pain
It takes all Ive got to survive
This madness will eat me alive
Theres nothing more that I can
Do
This maniacs in love with you
Your biggest fear has just come
True
This maniacs in love with you
Theres nothing more that I can
Do
This maniacs in love with you
Im all locked up inside of you
This maniac, this maniac
I just dont know where to begin
Just look at the state that Im in
My mind is total decay
Im coming to take you away
Theres nothing more that you can
Do
This maniacs in love with you
Your biggest fear has just come
True
This maniacs in love with you
Theres nothing more that you can
Do
This maniacs in love with you
Your biggest fear has just come
True
This maniac, this maniac

The Biggest One
The water running down that pipe
Looks like a snake to me
By docs sugar bowl my coffee gets cold
Because I dont want to see that
Ive got no one to blame but my fat self
Ive got no one to blame but my fat self
Im the biggest one
Im the biggest one
Ive got no one to blame but my fat self
Should have changed that stupid lock
Should have thrown away the key
No, no, not i, I will survive
Right down here on my knees cause
Ive got no one to blame but my fat self
Ive got no one to blame but my fat self
Im the biggest one
Im the biggest one
Ive got no one to blame but my fat self
