There was an actress named Millie Moo
Who wished she could nicely coo
On trying to parody a dove
The director gave her the shove
Copying a bird is hard hence a red card

eve's elongated shadows
darkened the atmosphere
for the company of hikers
trekking Milton Ridge

again the minstrel trots out
his fake tune of love
who in their right mind
would be his turtle dove

I looked in the mirror
and what did I see
an old wrinkly face
looking back at me

over the past ten years
I've aged quite considerably
my looks aren't as pretty
as they once used to be

the mirror has told me
there is a lot of loose skin
and I have developed
a substantial double chin

my youthful ****** features
have completely disappeared
the signs of haggardness
are even present on my ears

from this day forward
I'll hold no more mirror consultations
as the truth that it expresses
causes much irritation

low disposition
fathoms deep of league

rarely light enters
dim the trough's shade

in a domain
bereft of shine
misery doth prevail

with your permission
can I go on a mission
to go on a mission
I require your permission
all missions
must be commissioned
with your permission
for without your permission
I can't go on a mission

Jack and Jill went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water
but the truth of the matter is this
they went to the top of the hill
to imbibe in a kiss
whilst standing amid
the hill's tender soft mist

some good some bad
the tenure alters

moods high and moods low
ever changing

outlooks varying
in people's days
bipolar these views

A mystery to solve in a famous frame
Smiling from canvas a story to tell
Oh lady of the portrait oh lady of fame
The painter captured your face so well
Those who study art ponder and ruminate
The enigmatic pose that doth beguile
No brush strokes convey your mind state
All angels inspected of daubed smile
Yet the secret stays ever concealed
Baffling them all lady you assuredly do
Nothing of the puzzle is revealed
So well hidden and never in view
Leonardo da Vinci yielded not a clue
When he masterfully conceived of you

money bought him
the young flowers to
defile
money bought him
satisfaction's
smile

yet his money
bought him trouble
aplenty
for his victims were
well below the age of
twenty

his money will need
to buy good legal
representation
as the New York prosecutors
so desire his
incarceration  

money never purchased
him an ounce of
respect
on his money he'll be
left to endlessly
reflect

M-Marching together they of exclusive club
O-On this matter one has the definitive rub
N-No other individuals permitted in their hub
O-Only they who are mentioned on its stub
P-Plebs of little importance left out of the tub
O-One unto themselves not a welcoming pub*
L-Long they've operated under the private nub
*Y-Ye controlling all who present at their sub

her face effusively shone
in the serene bush recess
owls and possums enjoyed
her resplendent glow

morn's open fold
displayed a golden sunlight
morn's open fold
where lucent beams did beam so bold
upon the sky's blue parchment sight
a picture of dawn's entrance bright
morn's open fold

Mother nature we're killing you
Pumping your air with a toxic brew

****** is the path we're taking
And it's you we're forsaking

Our need for industry and tree clearing
Is for you not so endearing

To our peril we do you a misdeed
Humanity doesn't hear nor does it heed

amidst the mountains
he did roam
to find much needed solace
at this healing home
the familiarity of the terrain
bought peace to his troubled mind
at this place the heavy clouds
he had shouldered
for a long time
were erased in the mountains
abundant sunshine
his mind was in need of repair
so he sought it out
amidst the kindliness
of the mountain's soothing air
