The Dead are Good Tippers

Uncategorized / tagged Care, Death, Karma / October 7, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

The hospice nurse
may change the bed
and think the dead are dead

Hurry home to feed the kids
and mend the things to mend

But if they feel a debt doth pend
she’ll find out in the end

Sonnet for the Ordinary

Audio Recordings, Poems about Poetry / tagged Care / May 7, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

There is a loving way to make a bed
With pillows care set at the head
And a mother’s loving knead to give
Adds nourishment to help us live

We know that water crystals change
With words of love or hate about
From snowflake to a muddy mange
And we are water without doubt

A cheerful flipper at the greasy spoon
Feeds us better though the food be junk
Than Pierre at the Ritz with silver spoon
Serving Crèpes Suzette with Galic funk

And care enough within a poem
can provide another home
