I didn't know that Amazon
Sold animals to you
How do they dk deal with
Deal with transit poo?

Your cat's would be quite miniscule
A dribble in the box
But elephants from Amazon?
Shit! boulders, no not rocks

Don't mock me gentle reader
Amazon's power has grown
The next thing they'll be doing
Is sending 'phants on drones

(Watch out for falling boulders...) ?

Disconcerting stuff - leaving readers to come up with their own
imaginings about what had gone on. But the lines about the curtain
are real Alfred Hitchcock material (so to speak)..

It happens that the moments just crawl when distance is short and year goes in a flash when in turmoil.

True love can never be stolen or feels any temptations by beetles or flowers in the world.....it stays sincerely in love with one.

Very beautiful sir!!!!

What a brilliant poem K.J. I can relate to this..we were due to go on a day trip to the Isle of Man as kids. Dad gambled the money away and we just had a pkt of custard creams to take between the three of us and mum.
I look back now and smile and even laugh at some of the carryings on. At the time it was hard..poor mum..
The last stanza is perfect..

Sister Norma you can't touch
I got in first , life is such
Sorry mate, she is quite naughty
And no she's not, nowhere near fourty

Norm she's shown me tricks that would
Raise the hackles in your neck
Yep , she's naughty and she's nice
Damn! I'm now a bloody wreck

Should've stayed away from Norm
Thought I could control this storm
Knew our God would punish me
Dabbling in his nunnery ?

Could it be?
You and she
Might have had
A disagree?

Maybe I read
Between lines wrong
Maybe you didn't
Get along?

I hesitate
To post comment
In case it is
Not straight, but bent

Then again
Could silly me
Simply misinterpret
Your poetry? ?

Simple and stimulating. Taking it further...
"Imagine" and "Supposing"
Are also worth proposing. ?
As for commenting - sometimes, the work in
question does not resonate sufficiently or can have some similarity to an entry from another source - or, is so full of conceit, it's
just not worth the effort without seeming to]
be argumentative or worse!

In the dangerous days of the American West, a certain watchful
James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok used to sit with his back to the wall,
except for one time when he got careless playing cards and was
shot from behind, the cards from his "dead man's" hand (Aces and
Eights) being noted and named as such thereafter. People-watching
- especially from a safe position - can be an informative useful pastime!

Much truth in these lines but, somehow, the pleasure always manages to seep through the "early days commerce" that we live
with nowadays. Even Tiny Tim would have his nose pressed up
against the window of a toy shop despite his parents' poverty-led
place in life. The theme that continues is the importance of a loving
family and the generosity of good caring friends.
Ebenezer Scrooge was Charles Dickens' stooge
To what is vital still;
The love of those who mean the most
And the generous spirit of good will.
