RKS Poetry Anthology: “Merry Christmas”

Merry Christmas A lukewarm bottle of beer Or two Or three Just to ease into the propagated spirit And a can of beans with mock turkey loaf Climaxed with Johnny Carson On the fucked up black and white The gifts of life from Christ working in the aftershave department Blessing of the meek with MastercardContinue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology: “Merry Christmas””

RKS Poetry Anthology: “Slime in the back lanes”

Slime in the back lanes Greasy bacon fat hair Not exactly popularity on the suburban to downtown bus Toothless and urine fumes Scabbed red hands from the Oedipal clasp of sherry bottles Decorated by black nailed claws That must not touch! Fleeing refugees from a spineless napalmed society? Victims of a hedonistic society? All dependsContinue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology: “Slime in the back lanes””

RKS Poetry Anthology: “Legless Lager Louts”

Legless Lager Louts A phenomenon in the United Kingdom I am told A few pints and the timid become bold Occasionally dampered by a police chokehold You see them as tourists in countless European cities and towns in the ubiquitous Irish pub Safe and comforting place to eat bangers and mash grub Eaten by aContinue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology: “Legless Lager Louts””

RKS Poetry Anthology: “Beans and toast panic attack at Singapore Shangri-La”

Beans and toast panic attack at Singapore Shangri-La Newly arrived the previous night at the awesome Shangri-La Singapore 27 hours travelling perhaps more Could hardly raise a snore Float half senseless to buffet breakfast at The Line A quick peek on the way to the table My goodness this must be some gastronomical fable Asian,Continue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology: “Beans and toast panic attack at Singapore Shangri-La””

RKS Poetry Anthology: “Spare change required for Harry”

Spare change required for Harry Ex-commed by Daddy King Short on cash Time for Kardashian strategy But difficult as no breasts to bare So controversy, scandal, tabloid fodder Skills limited to paparazzi cultivation Must be maintained in the limelight Back in the royal graces your chances are slim So give it all up and partnerContinue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology: “Spare change required for Harry””

RKS Poetry Anthology: “Honeymoon at Saratoga Springs (Circa 1961)”

Honeymoon at Saratoga Springs (Circa 1961) Well it certainly was quite a day Let’s go to bed Wait! I’ve got to brush my teeth You already did Come on why don’t we go for a walk But it’s two o’clock in the morning Oh all right Turn off the light and look the other wayContinue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology: “Honeymoon at Saratoga Springs (Circa 1961)””

RKS Poetry Anthology: “My Ninety Minutes as a Palestinian Hostage” (NAMBY)

My Ninety Minutes as a Palestinian Hostage (NAMBY) In the midst of dropping off spouse at Toronto’s The Four Seasons Centre for an opera performance Unfortunately, at the corner just opposite the United States Embassy An angry chanting mob many in keffiyeh shouting Allah is great AND DEATH TO AMERICA! Biden being burnt in effigyContinue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology: “My Ninety Minutes as a Palestinian Hostage” (NAMBY)”

RKS Poetry Anthology: “Was it better in the old country?”
